Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 48-49:
The Quick family prominent for several generations in Canada, has had able representatives in the township of Colchester South, County of Essex, in the late Cornelius R. Quick, and now in his capable daughter, Mrs. Annie A. (Quick) Brush, widow of the late Arthur B. Brush.
     The first of the family here was Alexander Quick, grandfather of Cornelius R., ... Mr. Quick was well advanced in life when he went to Canada, and only survived a few years after the change. His sons were: Joseph, father of Cornelius R; ...
     Joseph Quick was born in Kentucky, ... In Gosfield South, County of Essex, he married Susanna Munger. She bore her husband twelve children...
     Cornelius R. Quick was born on the homestead, Feb. 18, 1820, and in time came into possession of a part of the farm, which was divided between him and his brother Alexander. Later he disposed of his portion, and, instead bought 125 acres on the lake front, Lots 78 and 79, where he carried on farming very extensively ...
     Mr. Quick married Miss Abigail Wright, the daughter of Henry Wright. Henry Wright was the son of Henry, the original settler in Canada, and was born in Rutland, Pa. He was twice married, first to a Miss Hitchcook, by whom he had a daughter, Deborah, born March 1, 1803; and (second) Hannah Lipps. The children of the second marriage were: ... Abigail, Aug. 25, 1823, who became Mrs. Cornelius R. Quick; ...
     Mrs. Cornelius R. Quick died about three years before her husband, Dec. 12, 1893. She was the mother of the following children: Annie Amelia, Gordon Wright (who moved to the Northwest some twenty years ago, where he has since been engaged in ranching, and who married Miss Carrie Noice), and Francis Gore (born April 18, 1862, who married Miss Matilda Rae, and was killed by the explosion of a boiler at William Craig's, June 25, 1890).
     Annie Amelia Quick married Arthur B. Brush, and ten years after her marriage returned to live at home, as her husband then assumed charge of the old farm. She was left widow March 23, 1903, with one daughter, Cornelia, who lives at home with her mother, a most accomplished young lady.
