Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 617-619:
Thomas E. Quick, one of the leading farmers and successful stock raisers of Mersea township, County of Essex, located on the north part of Concession 1, Lot 1, was born May 23, 1840, on this farm, and is a member of one of the old and honorable families of this section of Canada.
     The Quick family is of German extraction, and its early members came from Germany, settling in Pennsylvania, where Alexander G. Quick, the grandfather of our subject, was born and where he grew to manhood. During the Revolution in what is now the United States, this Alexander Quick showed his devotion to England by refusing to take up arms against her, preferring to sacrifice many material benefits for the sake of principle. When he came to Canada he located in Colchester township, County of Essex, Lot 8 of the Gore, at which time but a couple of families were established there. Indians were very troublesome, and it is even declared that three daughters of Mr. Quick were carried away by the savages, held for ransom and only two were ever recovered. Alexander Quick was already advanced in life when he came to Canada, and he lived but a few years afterwards. His sons, however, survived, five in number, as follows: John, a resident of Colchester; Cornelius, of Mersea; Elijah, who returned to the States; John, who spent his life at Ironton, Michigan; and Alexander, who lived and died in Colchester township.
     Cornelius Quick, second son of Alexander G., was born Sept. 12, 1785, in Pennsylvania, and accompanied his parents to Colchester township, County of Essex. In young manhood he came to Mersea township, and bought a tract of 100 acres of land east of Leamington, on which the remainder of his life was spent, and there he died at the age of eighty-five years, and was buried on Malott farm. About 1802 he married Elizabeth Knapp, born March 10, 1795, who died at the age of eighty-eight, and was buried in Lake View Cemetery. Their children were: Joseph, born Jan. 30, 1803, died in Ohio; Cornelius (2), born Dec. 12, 1806; Elizabeth, born Dec. 12, 1808, married Theodore Malott, Esq.; Catherine, born Jan. 31, 1810, married (first) Henry Tufflemire, and (second) Isaac Riley; Benjamin, born Jan. 6, 1812, died in Mersea township; John, born Jan. 21, 1814; Thomas, born Feb. 11, 1816; Rachel, born May 4, 1818, married Thomas Wiper; Mary Alice, born Nov. 12, 1820, married George Middleton; Martha, born June 9, 1822, married William Mills; Alexander, born Sept. 21, 1825, died in Mersea township; Mary Jane, born June 4, 1828, married John Wales; and Isaac, born Oct. 5, 1830, died in Mersea township. The parents of this family were both leading members of the Methodist Church.
     Cornelius Quick (2), son of Cornelius, was born Dec. 12, 1806, and grew to manhood at the homestead...
