Peter was a Minuteman.

Petrus was baptized in Rochester (accord) on the January 28th, 1728, the son of Jacobus Quick and Francisca Consalus Duk “Kingston, Parents: Jacobus Kwik, Francisca Consalisduk. Child: Petrus “bp’d in Rayset [Rochester]. Witnesses Kryn Oosterhout, Annetjen van Etten.”^[1] Petrus married Johanna Consalus, a first cousin to his mother on November 17th, 1748 in Warwasing, New York.^[2] The marriage record and Banns state “Oct 23rd ditto. Petrus Quick, young man, born in Rochester, with Johana Consalis, young woman, born below Kingston, and both residing below Mamakating, married Nov 17th, dito, by Cornelis Dupuy, Justice of the Peace.”^[3] The couple probably lived in present-day Wurstboro close to the Consalus family estate.

Peter moved to Mininsk-Machackemeck where his extended family had a plantation close to the Delaware River at Port Jervis, New York where the current states of New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania merge.[See Map] On November 26th, 1749, Petrus’s first son, Benjamin and second son Phillipus (Philip) was baptized in Deer Park, Orange Co. New York “Nov 26th Minisink Machackemeck (Deerpark), Parents: Petrus Quick, Johanna Consalus. Child: Benjamin. Witnesses: Daniel Consalus, Maria Consalus.”^[4]and on the 14th of August 1751 he was still in Deer Park for the birth of Philip. “Aug 14th Minisink Machackemeck (DEERPARK), Parents: Petrus Quick, Johanna Consalus. Child: Phillipus. Witnesses: Phillipus Swartwout, Antje Wynkoop."^[5]In November the same year (1751) Petrus was accused of murdering his cousin Salomon Davis a constable in Ulster Co. It seems that Salomon caused quite a bit of trouble in Ulster and Orange counties^[6]

As a soldier in the Revolutionary War, Peter is recorded on receipt No. 283 in 1784 for £2 17s 6p for service as a Sergeant under Captain Joseph Mackey^[7] Peter Quick is listed in “Sussex and Warren Counties In The Revolution” list with his sons; Benjamin, James, & Manuel on pg. 73^[8]and on pg. 727 in “Stryker’s Officers and Men of New Jersey in the Revolutionary War.”^[9] Peter’s sons; Benjamin, Phillip, Emanuel, Peter (Jr.), James, and Samuel all fought in various Militias around Sussex Co. during the entirety of the war. Peter’s, youngest son, John born 1768 was a false pensioner but probably helped with the war effort on the farm and in other ways.^{[10][11][12][13]}
