To Janice and All,

I am going to try to send you my gedcom report for my entire Quick data
base.. it will be lengthy and you must have the capability to open a rtf
file extension in your word processor... most can do this though...

we can not send file attachements via the list so I must send this you
separately..

I have been monitoring the discussions regarding Solomon, Burrell, and
Travis and I think you will find this helpful..

There is an Ely or Eli that is thought to have migrated from Marlboro County
to Georgia and several of the Quick Listers are descended from him... as
yet, I do not think anyone has actually tied him to one of the major Quick
Ancestors... although feeling is that he is a direct descendant... this may
or may not be the one that you are looking for...

If any of you are using Family Tree Maker, I would be more than glad to send
you a copy of my FTM file for the Quick line as we have it today... Like
wise, if you connect to one of the lines...and I do not have it.. I would
like to incorporate it in the master Quick File....

Let me know what you need... and if you send me information, please put your
name and address in it so that I can properly source the information...

also, regarding Thomas Quick.... references to date place a "Thomas Quick"
in Bertie County, NC sometime around 1724. It is this Thomas Quick that we
believe is the immigrant. There are several Thomas Quicks that are found in
the "passenger lists" and to date, I do not know of anyone that has actually
with proof tied them to this Thomas Quick,... although one would think
logically that he has to be one of them...

The story about the Monmouth Rebellion is very interesting to our research,
as we have learned, several of the Quicks we find were expelled from England
as a result of their so called "misplaced" allegiance to parties of the
rebellion.

We do not know the age of the same Thomas Quick who shows up early in Bertie
County. This bears relevance only to knowing whether or not he is the same
Thomas Quick who verifies his family by the Court in 1742... or his son, an
again, who was the first Thomas Quick we see mentioned in Marlboro County
records in the era of the Revolution.

Our only tie to Bertie County for the "Marlboro County Quick"Brothers"" is
the reference to Thomas Quick by The Reverend Bishop Gregg who wrote "The
History of the Old Cheraws" with the story of the young "Patriot" Thomas
Quick.. It was Rev. J.A.W. Thomas who recounted or plagerized the story(do
not believe he sourced his story) in his "History of Marlboro County"

We have no proof that the Quick men that I call "brothers" are actually
brothers. We have made the logical assumption based upon their homestead
locations with each other... and with their involvement in each others "Will
and estate records"... Aquilla and Thomas were very thick with each other...
in business and long time family dealings... as well as the both of them
serving as estate administrators... but yet again, no mention of the word
"brother"...

The only one that I have not seen tied to the others in any dealings is
Solomon. Geographically, he is part of the group.

In the past ( for the moment, have forgotten his name), there was a Lister
who was able to tie Solomon back to the general area of "Colonial" Bertie
County via marriage with a daughter of an Indian Chieftain. Solomon is first
found in Richmond County land records along with neighbors and family
members who apparently migrated there from N.C.

I believe the ties to Colonial Bertie County are actually in modern Halifax
County. This might explain why we see so little information on the Quicks in
Bertie County proper and essentially nothing after 1760..

Again, ..... we see nothing to support the relationship of Solomon to the
others as todate, no mention of the others have been found in NC records..

Well.... I can go on and on... but I will leave the rest for you to read...

Hope the files transfer okay...

Regards

Glenn Pearson
Listowner

> I'm of that line somewhere myself. Travis is indeed the son of Burrell who
is the son of Solomon,who has brothers named Aquilla,Thomas, George,and Levi
as far as we know. They are all sons of Thomas Quick, we think, he came over
in the 1600's from England as a punishment. His sentence was to be sent to
Virginia in the colonies, I guess that was there way to put him in exile
away from the community in England.
> I'm trying to find out who Eli Quick belongs to. I was talking to someone
else in this line as well who said that Travis had a brother named
Eli.....maybe there's a connection?
