Note: The name "Sedon" was in the city field but I have no idea what that means. Is it a place in PA?^1,3,4,5,6,7 He appeared on the census of 6 August 1810 at Upper Smithfield, Wayne Co., Pennsylvania, U.S.A; 1810 Census: John B.

William Rankin Quick "In 1848 boat passengers were very few and only John E. Proctor was recorded as such. Captain Quick, the owner of the WILLIAM JOHN and the SARAH JANE, won the admiration of Brighton people by his enterprise in not only building ships but in also erecting a fine wharf." from page 186 of The Tobey Book. in 1848 at Cramahe Twp., Northumberland Co., Ontario.⁹ He "The following petition dated April 1, 1848 was made to the Municipal Council of the Township of Brighton. "....the undersigned freeholders are very much opposed to the appropriation of certain lands or road allowances to us belonging to be given or appropriated by William Butler as we consider that he has no right to the same, and that if the said road allowances are to be sold or in any way disposed of that it should be publicly done."

Quick, Richard Lapp, Thomas Dalton, Patrick Bryant, Patrick Martin, Charles Firman, Stephen Vincent Esq., Abraham Good, C.J. Bevitt." from page 183 of The Tobey Book.
Note: This is the earliest evidence of William Quick in Brighton Township, the first I have seen before the purchase of land by Charlotte Quick in August 1849. However, Pheobe Quick is shown as being born in Oswego. Need to clarify this. (Dan Buchanan, Apr 26 2026)
Note: There is also somthing wrong with this. Brighton Township was not created until January 1, 1852, and before that, it was Murray or Cramahe Townships. Brighton Village was created in 1831, so existed at this time. Maybe that is what they are referring to in terms of "Municipal Council". Looks like accuracy was lost in the transcription of this material over time. (Dan Buchanan, Apr 26 2026) on 1 April 1848 at Cramahe Twp., Northumberland Co., Canada West.⁹ He lived in 1849 at Cramahe Twp., Northumberland Co., Canada West; "East of Ontario Street: 1849 - 1 acre sold to Cynthia Quick by Patrick Bryant; 1849 - 20 acres sold to Charlott Quick by Patrick Bryant" from page 184 of The Tobey Book.⁹ He lived on 27 July 1849 at Conc 1 Lot 2, Cramahe Twp., Northumberland Co., Canada West; Land Registry Records (B&S A92) show that Patrick Bryant & wife granted "1 acre, Village Lot 10 west of Ontario St.", Lot 2, Conc 1, Cramahe Twp., Northumberland Co. to Cynthia Quick.

Note: The only Cynthia Quick was his daughter, who was a child of 7 at this time. (Dan Buchanan, Apr 27 2026.)¹⁰ He lived on 28 August 1849 at BF Lot 1, Cramahe Twp., Northumberland Co., Canada West; Land Registry Records (B&S A90) show that P.

Note: This is the location where the new wharf would be built in 1853. Also note that William Quick utilized his wife in land records, so technically, the land belonged to Charlotte and not William. Of course, in those days, property of the wife was property of the husband. (Dan Buchanan, Apr 27 2026.)¹⁰ He lived on 28 August 1849 at Conc 1 Lot 2, Cramahe Twp., Northumberland Co., Canada West; Land Registry Records (B&S A91) show that Patrick Bryant & wife granted "20 acres, south part", Lot 2, Conc 1, Cramahe Twp., Northumberland Co. to Charlotte Quick. ITS Date: Aug 28 1849. Reg'n. Date: Feb 10 1853. (Ontario Land Registry Records, Northumberland Co., Brighton Village, Book 14, pg. 096 of 210, OnLand.ca)
Note: This property in lot 2 would appear to be the Quick home. William Quick used his wife to purchase property; one might speculate about the reason. (Dan Buchanan, Apr 27 2026.)¹⁰ He appeared on the census of 1850 at Cramahe Twp., Northumberland Co., Canada West; 1850 Census: William Quick; Conc 1, Lot 1, occ; non-prop., Total 8 (Newcastle District Census & Assessment Records, Cramahe Twp.)

"William Quick: Forwarding Agent and Commission Merchant of lumber and Produce at Brighton, Presqu'Ile Harbour in his Store House at the Wharf. The Store House is quite new and capable of holding about 12,000 bushels of grain.
… Situated at the foot of Centre Street Quick's Wharf was the largest of the wharfs. It extended 60 rods into the bay and a storehouse measuring 87' by 133' was located on the wharf, the original manuscript also states that "the main wharf was 85' x 133', storehouse 24 x 44', three stories high..." from page 259 of The Tobey Book. circa 1853 at Quick's Wharf, Presqu'ile Bay, Northumberland Co., Canada West.⁹ He "The busy scene at the Bay is described in THE BRIGHTON SENTINEL of April 22: "To the Editor of the Brighton Sentinel: Sirs: Seven Vessels have loaded in this Port since the 9th instant, six for Rochester, and one for Oswego. I am confident more lumber will be shipped this season than in any previous year. There is ample accommodation for all who may wish to deliver their lumber here. Cash can be obtained on delivering at remunerating prices, for any quantity." from page 259 of The Tobey Book. circa 1853 at Quick's Wharf, Presqu'ile Bay, Northumberland Co., Canada West.⁹ He "In 1853, the Brighton Wharf Company was formed, issuing shares with a capital value of 5 pounds each in order to finance a wharf and storehouse at the end of the Gravel Road leading to the Bay of Presqu'Ile. The names of the buyers are given in the following quote: ... William Quick is NOT included in this list ... "We the undersigned do hereby agree to pay the amounts of the sums and shares set opposite our respective names for the purpose of building a wharf and storehouse at the end of the gravel road owned by the Presqu'Ile Road and Wharf Company on the Bay of Presqu'Ile." This wharf was soon the scene of much action. There were generally flour wagons, and at certain times of the year grain wagons, often standing in a line half a mile long waiting to unload at the wharf. In the course of time, J.D. McKenzie, Mr. A. McCallum and Captain Wm. Quick became the owners of the dock." from page 258 of The Tobey Book. in 1853 at Brighton Wharf, Brighton Twp., Northumberland Co., Canada West.⁹ He "THE BRIGHTON SENTINEL of November l8, 1853 said: "We are happy to understand that a Company is about being formed to build a wharf and storehouse at the terminus of the gravel road at Presqu'Ile Harbour. It is to be noted that this new Company is distinct from the Presqu'Ile Wharf and Road Company which built the gravel road north of Brighton and South to the Bay and which even had rights to build a Wharf and storehouse at the terminus of their roads. One wonders how they got such rights. But the new Company to be established proposes to take over these rights.
The present road company's charter includes the right of building the wharf 1 and storehouse at the terminus of the road, but they have wisely concluded to resign or make over their rights to the parties now forming into a Company." from page 263 of "The Tobey Book". on 18 November 1853 at Article in Brighton Sentinel, Brighton, Northumberland Co., Canada West.⁹ He "In 1853 Captain William Quick announced that his new store house on his wharf was capable of holding 12,000 bushels of grain." from page 264 of 'The Tobey Book". on 2 December 1853 at Quick's Wharf & Storehouse, Brighton, Northumberland Co., Canda West.⁹ He "Alex Begg, in his editorial in the Sentinel of December 23 speaks of Captain Quick: "By referring to an advertisement in another column, it will be seen that a quantity of damaged flour is for sale at Captain Quick's Wharf. It is the residue of the cargo of the Schooner Jacques Cartier, which was wrecked near Port Cramahe. We understand upward of 1,200 barrels of the cargo were taken to Kingston by Capt. Quick but lateness of season prevented the remaining 500 barrels from following it, so the insurance company in a complimentary letter to the Captain, instructed him to repack the good flour into new barrels and sell the damaged portion. A few days ago, we found the industrious and Brawny Captain, hard at work as usual, with his men screening the flour with a newly invented bolt and repacking the good flour into new barrels. It is only justice to notice how neat everything is in the Captain's establishment. The storehouse is well arranged and clean, his schooners are always in good trim, the lumber on his wharf well piled, in fact, everything in its place." from page 259 of "The Tobey Book. on 23 December 1853 at Editorial in Brighton Sentinal, Brighton, Northumberland Co., Canada West.⁹ He "These two gentlemen listed six hundred and ten householders or freeholders in the new township of Brighton, a partial list of which has been found and is reproduced below: ...

Note: Neither Brighton Township nor Brighton Village existed in 1828. If they lived near where Brighton would be created in 1831, they were likely in Murray Township. (Dan Buchanan, Mar 31 2025.)^{1,4,5,6,7,8,9,2,3} As of circa 1847,her married name was Wood.¹⁰ She married James Wood circa 1847 at Canada West; No marriage is entered in Lorie's tree, but there is an implied marriage with three children, so it will be entered as such here.
Note: Lorie has contacted me via email and asked about the DNA match she has re William Quick, through his daughter, Ann. She believes Ann married James Wood of Ohio and they had three children. There was no trace of this marriage in known current Quick family history but maybe it fits. I will use Lorie's info here and see if we can establish more solid documentation so solve the problem. (Dan Buchanan, Apr 28 2026.)¹⁰ Ann Quick appeared on the census of March 1852 at Brighton Twp., Northumberland Co., Canada West; Age 23 at 1851 Census: see William Quick.⁸ She appeared on the census of April 1861 at Brighton, Northumberland Co., Canada West; Age 32 at 1861 Census: see William Quick
Note: Ann is recorded in the 1861 Census as Ann Quick and is shown to be single. Both of these things are contrary to the idea of an earlier marriage to James Wood. Was this just an oversight or a deliberate attempt to erase a difficult part of Ann's young life? A bit of caution is warranted here, as these census records were recorded and transcribed by people who did not know the families they were describing. We should not rush to conclusions based on this or that tiny discrepancy, but review the whole collection of information. There is a lot of uncertainty of this type in Quick family documentation, for whatever reason. (Dan Buchanan, Apr 29 2026.)² As of circa 1865,her married name was Gunyo.
