Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 120-121:
Among those who have made themselves felt in the material development of County Essex is Colin Birch Quick, who was born in Gosfield township, that county, Aug. 6, 1859, a son of Cornelius M. and Catherine (Wigle) Quick. It is supposed that he is descended from the Quicks of Cornwall, England, a large family, several representatives of which came to the New World about the time of the revolution of the American colonies. They located in the State of Kentucky, not far from Cincinnati, Ohio.
     Cornelius and Elizabeth (Knapp) Quick, great-grandparents of Colin B., owned and operated a farm in the south-eastern part of Leamington. The parents of Cornelius Quick lived in Ohio. They were captured by the Indians and kept in captivity six years, being released on the advice of the Hudson Bay Company. They then located in the township of Colchester South, County of Essex, and took up land, there spending the remainder of their lives.
     Cornelius Quick (2), son of Cornelius and Elizabeth (Knapp) Quick, was one of the earliest settlers of Gosfield North, afterwards removing to Mersea township. He married Catherine Malott.
     Cornelius M. Quick, son of Cornelius (2) was born in Gosfield North, Jan. 26, 1833. He was a boy of ten years when his parents removed to Mersea township, where he was reared and educated. Here it was that he learned the trade of a carpenter, and followed it all his life. After his marriage he purchased a residence in Gosfield, where he lived a few years and then bought a portion of the homestead in Mersea, which he still owns, but for the past twenty years he has made his home with his several children. He married Catherine Wigle, who was born in Gosfield, of Scottish ancestry, and who died in 1868, aged thirty-eight. They had six children: Colin B.; D. Clifford, of Romney township, County of Kent, who married Mary Markle; Bird, who died at the age of twenty-five; Minnie, who wedded Alfred Killington, of Cottam; and Judson and Mina, who both died young. In politics Mr. Quick is an ardent Reformer, and is a man of strong character and upright principles, closely identified with the Methodist Church, as is also his wife.
     Colin B. Quick was ... married to Eliza M. Mifflin, of Kent, Ont., who was born Aug. 30, 1841, daughter of Solomon S. and Margaret A. (Derbyshire) Mifflin, natives of Devonshire, England, and County of Essex, respectively. Three children have blessed this union: Angus R., Milton C. and Edna P...
