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., who ... settled on Lot 8, of the Gore, in the township of Colchester, ... His sons were: Joseph, father of Cornelius R; Cornelius, who moved to Mersea; ...
Joseph Quick was born in Kentucky, about one mile from Cininnati, Ohio... In Gosfield South, County of Essex, he married Susanna Munger. She bore her husband twelve children... Cornelius R...
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: John, born March 11, 1809, who married (first) Miss Anna Bell, and (second) Mrs. Rebecca Wilson; Mary Ann, born Dec. 15, 1810 who married John Buchanan; Thomas H., June 19, 1815, who married Miss Euphemia Bell; Francis, March 7, 1818, who married Miss Jane Wilcox; Eliza, Feb. 15, 1821, who married Matthew Ferriss; Abigail, Aug. 25, 1823, who became Mrs. Cornelius R. Quick; and Amelia, Sept. 15, 1825, who never married.
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.
