Johanna Quick


Johanna born Nov 16th, 1761 Newton, Sussex, Co. New Jersey died May 5th, 1822 Mason Co. Kentucky.[1] Johanna married (1) Dirck (Richard) (Derrick) Aten (Auten) in Morris Co. New Jersey right after Jan 16th, 1788 “That whereas there is a mutual Contract of Marriage between Derick Autor of the one Party, and Hannah Quick of the other Party.”[2] Dirck was born about 1742 in Raritan, Somerset, New Jersey and died before Sept 11th, 1784. In the administration of Derrick’s estate (called Richard and Derrick) James Quick (Derrick’s brother-in-law) was the administrator and his father in law Peter Quick was compensated 4 pounds 6 shillings for funeral expenses.[3][4] Johanna married (2) William Driskill (Driscoll) born about 1760 in Worcester Co. Maryland and he died about 1794-5 in Mason Co, Kentucky. Their marriage was probably in Oxford Township, Sussex Co. NJ about 1786-7.[1]

Around 1790 Johanna and William moved to Mason Co. Kentucky. where most of William’s family had settled. After William's death, Johanna married (3) by 1796, Henry Consalus (Gunsalus) born Dec 8th, 1859 in Wurstburo, Ulster Co. New York the son of Indian Hunter and scout, Samuel Consalus and his wife Elizabeth Van Vliet. Henry’s brother, James Consalus had moved to Mason Co. Kentucky by 1800 [6] and was at one-time arrested as a spy by the British and sentenced to death and saved by his father Samuel.[6]

Both brothers served in the Revolutionary War [7][8] and James and his wife Margaret were recorded still living in Mason Co. Kentucky in June 1811.[9] In 1803 “Henry Gunsalus” along with Peter Ingles signed the marriage bond of his daughter in law Hetty Atten (Hetser Auten) to Peter Engels.[10] Henry is mentioned as the husband of Johanna as “Henry Consolar” in the division of Johanna’s father, Peter Quick’s estate in 1806. Around the same time, Henry Consalus left Johanna. In 1807 Johanna filed for divorce in the State of Kentucky and it was granted Jan 25th, 1808. “this act authorized her to sue, in Mason County, her husband Henry Gunsaulis, for a divorce; and to obtain it on a jury’s finding that he deserted her for several years, and was either married or living in open adultery with another woman”[12]

In the 1810 US Census, Joanna “Gunsules” is listed as the head of the household in Washington Township. Mason Co. Kentucky.[13] It seems Henry had migrated northwest to Cincinnati and died in 1839 and had a biography written in 1893. “Henry Gunsalus was born December 8, 1759, in Ulster County New York. Volunteered in 1776, and was at Trenton, New Jersey, December 26, 1776, and participated in the capture of nine hundred Hessians at Bound Brook June 26, 1777. In 1778 he was ordered against the Indians on the frontier, with whom he was in several conflicts. In 1781 he served in a body of rangers on the frontier to prevent depredations by the Indians and protect the scattered settlements. He came to Hamilton county at an early period and died in Cincinnati in 1839. He was no doubt buried in one of the devastated graveyards in the city. No trace of his descendants.”[14]

Johanna married (4) Harry Martin in Mason Co. Kentucky on October 16th, 1810.[15] “Harry and Johanna Martin lived in Maysville (Mayslick) in 1820; however, according to Goodspeed's History of Northeast Arksnsas, Johanna had lived in Washington, near Maysville, for her grandson Henry Auter Engels lived there with her for some years. On May 5th 1822, Johanna Martin died in Mason County, age 61 years, 5 months, and 19 days. She lies buried in some unknown cemetery in Mason County, probably near Washington.”[4]
