A few of the witness testimonies are as follows: “Peter Quick told him that he had killed three hogs belonging to George Ribble and that he had set his fence so that any hog might easily get into his field and that he had left his fence in good order this long while sane that he would not keep it so any longer and that he would kill every man’s hog that came into his field” - Dec 1st 1788 Jacob Myers. “some time last spring he (Peter Quick) let his plantation where on he now liveth to James Quick his son for which he the said James Quick was to deliver him the deponent the one third of the produce od the said place as the yearly rent” - Dec 1st 1788 Peter Quick (James’s Father).[5] In 1793 James appeared and submitted a receipt for his brother Benjamin’s mortgage on property in Frankford, Oxford Township, New Jersey in. “January 17th 1793 James Quick brother to the mortgager came into the office & produced his mortgage with a receipt wrote on the back in the following words “Rec May 13th 1790 of Benjamin Quick One Hundred & Fifty-Five pounds seventeen schillings & three pence being the full of the debts & Interest due in the within Mortgage Tho.

James was an early adopter of the Methodist faith and was an early pioneer circuit preacher with George Banghart. James was recorded as dying while preaching at John Howell's house in Hope, Sussex Co. NJ about 1810.[a] A Peter Quick born about 1782 married Lydia Alede Banghart who later remarried to Robert Quick is likely the son of this James Quick[8][9] Lydia Banghart was a brother to George Banghart and from process of elimination from other Quick’s in the area seems the most plausible connection.
