Biography

Cornelis was born about 1659 of "New Albany"^[1] and married first 23 January 1682 in New Amsterdam, Abigail ABRAHAMS, He married second 28 May 1685, in New Amsterdam, Maria VAN HOOGTEN.^[2]

Note:On November 1, 1683, the English Province of New York (previously Beverwijck) was split into counties, with Albany County being the largest. At that time the county included all of present New York State north of Dutchess and Ulster Counties in addition to present-day Bennington County, Vermont, theoretically stretching west to the Pacific Ocean; the city of Albany became the county seat.

Cornelis Jacobsen QUICK lived in Albany in 1682, later in New Amsterdam. In 1682 the year he was married, he became a member of the N.Y. Reformed Dutch Church. His name appears at intervals, 1682 to 1704 in Baptismal Records of New Amsterdam Dutch Church (N.A.D. Church). In 1686 Cornelis and 2nd. wife, Maria VAN HOOGTEN, were members of N.A.D. Church and resided on Brugh Straat (Bridge Street); Cornelis and his brother Theunis were living in the North Ward in N.Y. 1695 to 1699, as shown by tax lists, the only ones of that name in that section.

Under Teunis Tomaszen QUICK's, (p.3:A1) will be found Cornelis' contract to furnish the stone for building the old Trinity Church in 1696. He was owner of a sloop in which the stone was hauled from the quarry.^[2]

Occupation

Cornelis was the captain of a sloop named the "Wilhem" by which he hauled stones from various island quarries to help in the building of New York City. He was commissioned on 17 Feb 1696 to haul stones for the building of Trinity Church at which time he is recorded as partnering with one of Trinity Church's most infamous members: Captain Kidd. Captain Kidd lent Captain Quick equipment for the raising of these stones.

When Captain Kidd returned from his notorious voyage he anchored just off Gardiner's Island after having been warned he was a wanted man. He then secretly sent for his wife who was still living in New York City and for his lawyer. It was Captain Cornelis Quick that brought Captain Kidd his wife and lawyer from New York City. Captain Kidd trusted Quick enough to also unload some of his "cargo" onto his boat. It was this act that cost Captain Quick his ship for James Gardiner of Gardiner's Island was watching the whole transaction from ashore.

In the trial records of Captain Kidd, we learn that Captain Quick had his ship confiscated based on Gardiner's testimony. One can only wonder how this impacted Quick's business. After his youngest son Petrus was born and baptized on 6 Jan 1704 we hear no more of Cornelis Quick in New York City. One interesting possibility is that he repatriated to the Netherlands and worked as a sailor for the VOC. In the summer of 1704 one Cornelis Quick appears in their records as being under contract. Perhaps to send money back to his wife and children? We may never know for sure what become of him.

Death

Cornelis died sometime after 6 Jan 1704, the birth of his youngest son, at NY. One WikiTree contributor had his death as 1771 but that would mean that he was over 110 years old. Could it have been 1717 ?
