Hi Tom: I received the Samuel Quick information. Thank you. I plan to make a trip to the Ulster County Clerk (hopefully next week) and trace the property to find the current owners. I will also visit the Surrogate’s court to see the probate records. If I can obtain the current owners, I will be able to find the cemetery.

Yesterday Ann and I stopped at the Assesor’s office in Accord and with her help we found two small cemeteries (one was definitely private) in the general vicinity. These were clearly marked on the assessor’s maps. Neither turned out to be the one we are looking for. I know it is the correct area because the Assessor said the whole area was once Quick property. She also said that there were private cemeteries not marked on her maps. We visited them both in hopes to find something.

One was called “Sunnyside”. A neighbor helped us find it and she said that there is a road that the town has stopped maintaining to grant egress so I don’t believe this was ever private. It is small and overgrown and many stones are not readable. I did find a couple of Quicks buried here.

I found Hiram Quick, Dennis’ brother. The stone was very difficult to read so I didn’t attempt a photo. He died 1890, age 50 yr. I had shown a Hiram as a son of Samuel born about 1840 so this must be him.

The other stone was for Nelson Quick, d. 22 Oct. 1901(? the number 1 was difficult to read) age 70 yrs. He was in the civil war and the stone was engraved with Co C 168 Reg NY infantry. I don’t have a Nelson Quick in my records. There was a small stone leaning against his stone with just the initials “M.N.Q.”.

I also found a stone for Sarah Van Etten, b. 15 July 1845 d. 3 April 1893, Age 47-8-19 and Lucy E. VanEtten d. 10 June 1882, age 16-9-3 in this cemetery.

Samuel’s second wife was a Sarah Van Etten (not this Sarah) but most likely same family.

The other cemetery was on farm property now owned by Susskind (or something similar) and it abutted property owned by Grey.l It had a few stones and I believe was smaller than 20 x 20. Most stones were Gray family so most likely a private Gray family cemetery.

While there we also took a walk in the Krumville Cemetery where Dennis and Judith are buried. There are no other Quicks in that cemetery. There are many Markles. I wrote down the Markle information in hopes that it helps me on Judith’s family search.

Ann and I enjoyed our visit and it was a wonderful day for a walk in the cemeteries and I’ve been able to cross off a few places on my list of things to check out but it wasn’t as successful a day as I had hoped. I had decided I needed to visit the County Clerk but it was too late in the day to take the time to do that yesterday.

We talked about you a little. I wonder if your ears were ringing. I told her your comments about your father - that he was not very forthcoming with information and that you weren’t very close. We have cousins in the Poughkeepsie area. They are first cousins and neither of us would know them if we passed them on the street. Our family has not been tight and although we both remember visiting our Grandmother, Celia as children, we have no warm memories. We didn’t do the things with her that my grandchildren do with me. I had a strained relationship with my father. That’s too long a story to bore you with in this note. Anyway we laughed that we are sure you share our DNA and wasn’t it amazing that with the internet we can find a second cousin in Florida and we don’t know our first cousins in Poughkeepsie.

Enjoy your weekend. It’s finally feeling like spring here!

Tom,

Quick, Hiram- Age, 21 years. Enlisted, September 6, 1861, at Rochester, to serve 3 years; mustered in as private, Co. E, 56 Reg. NY Vet. Vol. Infantry, September 20, 1861; promoted corporal, July 16, 1862; mustered out September 20, 1864, at New York City.

The cemetery where Diane found the graves of Hiram, Nelson and the VanEttens is called the Tabasco Cemetery, just up the road from my house. There is a lot of poison ivy there and so I avoid it. It is not in good condition.

The 20x20 burying ground where Sarah, wife of Samuel Burger, is buried is on that old Wallace farm (there are houses there now). As I said before, Samuel is probably buried there and I would not be surprised if Jeremiah P. is also.

You may share my address with Diane as it is always fun to exchange information with another Quick researcher. I have made some interesting discoveries that I would be happy to share with her. Most of these have been found in reading newspaper archives in the local libraries. With all our cold snowy weather, it is a great way to spend a couple of hours. I am also very fortunate to have Mary Quick as a friend who has lived in the Liebhardt area of the Town of Rochester most of her 92 years. She is a great resource. Jim (Ayers) jatabasco@yahoo.com
