Belitje Jacobus was born circa 1604 in Naarden, North Holland, Netherlands.^5,4

Belitje Jacobus married Theunis Thomaszen Quick II, the Emigrant, son of Theunis Thomaszen Quick I and Eleanor Clark, on 9 March 1625 in Naarden, Noord-Holland, Netherlands. Theunis Thomaszen Quick and Belijtgen Jacobus beyde jong, (both single), were married at Naarden, Holland, 9 Marty (March), 1625. Our research in the early records at Naarden shows this marriage. They apparently had seven children.⁶

Belitje Jacobus died in 1676 in Manhattan, New York County, New York, at age ~72.

Belitje Jacobus was also known as Belijtgen Van Vlechtenstyn.⁷ Belitje Jacobus was also known as Belijtgen Jacobus.

Belitje Jacobus and Theunis Thomaszen Quick II, the Emigrant, emigrated in 1640 from Netherlands to New Amsterdam, New Netherland, Theunis Thomaszen Quick de Matzelaer van Naarden, as he sometimes signed his name, meaning the mason from Naarden, was first heard of in the early records at Nieuw Amsterdam (New York), when, with his wife, Belitje, they had their daughter Hillegonde baptized in the New Amsterdam Dutch Church 25 November, 1640. We have the baptismal records of all their children except Jacob, presumably born in Holland. Weyntje, the oldest, was baptized at Naarden 23 July 1628. It is believed that they came to America not long after the birth of Weyntje in 1628, though the exact time is not known.^8,9,10

Theunis Thomaszen Quick and Belitje Jacobs

Theunis Thomaszen Quick was a mason from Naarden, North Holland, Netherlands who settled in New Amsterdam, New Netherlands. Thomas married Belitje Jacobs [1] 9 Mar 1625 in Naarden, North Holland, Netherlands [2]. Theunis was known by his patronym (Thomaszen), his occupation (Metselaer, meaning mason), and the surname Quick. In 1665, he was living the Beaver's Graft in New Amsterdam.

Theunis and Belitje had:
1. Weyntje Theunis[3], born in Naarden, North Holland, Netherlands, baptized 23 Jul 1628 in Naarden, North Holland, Netherlands [4], married Herck Siboutszen 16 Nov 1642 in New Amsterdam, New Netherland.
2. Jacob Theuniszen Quick[5], born in Naarden, North Holland, Netherlands, married Neeltje Cornelis 24 Mar 1655 in New Amsterdam, New Netherland.
3. Hillegond Toenis, born in New Amsterdam, New Netherland, baptized 25 Nov 1640 in New Amsterdam, New Netherland, married Jacob Toeniszen de Key [6] 29 Mar 1658 in New Amsterdam, New Netherland.
4. Maritje Theunis, born in New Amsterdam, New Netherland, baptized 23 Mar 1642 in New Amsterdam, New Netherland, married Sebastien Claes Van Sevenhuysen 20 Sep 1659.
5. Thomas Teunissen Quick, baptized 24 Apr 1644 in New Amsterdam, New Netherland, married Rymerick (Rynberg) Jurriaens Westphale (marriage banns registered 6 Dec 1672 in Kingston, Ulster, New York).
6. Geertje Theunis, born in New Amsterdam, New Netherland, baptized 12 Nov 1645 in New Amsterdam, New Netherland, married Carsten Luyrissen 1 Dec 1668 in New Amsterdam, New Newtherland.
7. Dirck Theuniszen Quick, baptized 26 Jul 1648 in New Amsterdam, New Netherland, married Hanna Jans Hodje.

About the Quick Surname
I have seen no primary documentation that plainly shows that Theunis, the mason, and Theunis Thomassen Quick were one and the same. I have seen records that show that Belitje was the wife of Theunis Thomas, Theunis Thomassen Metselaer (mason), and Theunis de Metselaer, but no records where she is named as the wife of Theunis Thomassen Quick. Five of the children were baptized in New Amsterdam but none under the Quick name. However, there is an interconnectedness between Theunis, Belitje, and the seven children I have listed.
First of all, the baptismal witnesses show these connections: Witnesses at the baptisms of Weyntje and Herck's children include Theunis de Metselaer (10 Nov 1647, Maryken), Jacob Teuniszen and Beelitje Jacobs (4 Feb 1652, Beellitjen), Belitje Jacobs (4 Jul 1655, Teunis), Jacob Theuniszen and Belitje Jacobs (28 Nov 1657, Jan), Jacob Theuniszen de Key (Sep 1659, Jacobus), Hillegond Theunis (19 Apr 1662, Annetie), Jacob Theuniszen Cray and Geertie Theunis (3 Aug 1664, Jannetie), Geertie Theunis (22 Mar 1670, Pieter), and Karsten Luurzen (27 Mar 1675, Weyntie). Witnesses at Hillegond and Jacob's children's baptisms include Theunis Theuniszen Quick (4 Apr 1659, Theunis), Belitje Jacobs (28 Jan 1662, Johannes), Wyntie Theunis (28 Nov 1665, Janneken), Geertie Theunis (18 Jul 1668, Johannes), Charsten Luurszen (6 Jul 1670, Agnietie), Wyntie Theunis (27 Nov 1672, child not named), Karsten Leursen (27 Jan 1675, Maria), Geertie Theunis (4 Apr 1677, Samuel), Karsten Luurzen (25 Aug 1680, Rachel), Gerritie Theunis (20 Dec 1682, Samuel), and Geertie Theunis (26 Sept 1686, Rachel). The witness at the baptism of Maritje and Sebastien's daughter Belitje was Belitje Jacobs (13 Jun 1660). Thomas and Reymerick's children's baptismal witnesses include Carsten Luerse and Geertje Quick (Kingston baptismal #860, 25 Aug 1695, Geertje). Witnesses at the baptisms of Geertje and Carsten's children include Jacob de Key and Hillegond Theunis (25 May 1670, Marritie), Jacob Theuniszen de Key and Hillegond Theunis (9 Dec 1678, Aeltie), and Jacob Theuniszen de Key and Hillegond Theunis (19 Apr 1681, Johannes). Witnesses to baptisms of the children of Dirck and Hanna include Belitje Jacobs Van Vleckensteyn (7 Jun 1673, Theunis, note that father's name was) and Gerritje Jacobs and Belitje Quicks (13 Sep 1680, Elisabeth Marritie). The records that show Belitje Jacobs and Theunis de Metselaer are especially interesting because they show a relationship between Theunis and Belitje and the parents of the children baptized. Even more interesting is the record that shows Belitje Jacobs Van Vleckensteyn as the witness, since the father, Dirck, used the Quick name in this record.
Second, the court records of New Amsterdam show that on 14 Nov 1662, Tomas Teunisen Quick sued Symon Clazen. The very next case in the minutes was that of Weintje Teunis, who also sued Symon Clazen. Later that year, on 28 Nov, Tomas Teunissen again sued Symon Clazen. Tomas' witness was "Oventje, the pltfs. sister". (Oventje is believed to be a mistranscription and that the record should read "Wentje".)
Finally, Dirck's son, Thomas, is recorded as being indentured "with the consent of ...Helegant de Key, his aunt" on 2 Nov 1702 (New York Historical Society Collection, 1885, p.602.)
Besides the clues above, further clues can be gained from looking at names: All seven of the children used the patronym Theunis, Teunissen, etc., meaning that their father's name was Theunis. Three of Theunis and Belitje's daughters had daughters named Belitje: On 4 Feb 1652, Herck Sybenszen had second eldest daughter, Beellitjen, baptized, on 13 Jun 1660, Sebastiaen V. Sevenhuysen and Marritie Theunis had their only recorded child, Belitje, baptized and on 20 Dec 1684, Charsten Luursen and Geertie Quick had their fourth eldest daughter, Belitje, baptized. This further proves that Belitje was the mother of this family. Dirck and Thomas are recorded as using the name Quick. The index to the New Amsterdam court records shows that Jacob also used the name Quick. None of the daughters were recorded using the Quick name.
Because of the connections and clues above, the Quick family can be reconstructed with Theunis (the mason) and Belitje Jacobs as parents and Weyntje, Jacob, Hillegond, Maritje, Thomas, Geertje, and Dirck as children.

Teunis Tomasen, pltf. v/s Michiel Paulisen, deft. Pltf's wife appeared, and demands payment of a balance fl. 13 due her for a chimney, built by her husband. Deft. acknowledges the debt, whenever the work shall have been well and sufficiently done; and as said chimney now smokes badly and he engaged to make it good or no pay, deft. contends that he is under no obligation to pay. The Court decides, that Teunis Tomasen, who has done the work, must himself appear in person.

Volume I, Page 206, 8 Jun 1654
Matys Capito, pltf. v/s Roelof Cornelisen, deft., prosecutes and attachment served on Jan Gerritsen for the sum of fl. 8:16, which is due him. Deft. denies the debt, and claims from pltf. 25 gl. for labor, saying, that he is willing to offset the fl. 8:16, in case pltf. will affirm his claim under oath, and offers that the work done shall be examined by two impartial men, being satisfied with their verdict. Pltf. denies the debt for the work, since it is not finished and that he himself has labored in place of hodman, and offers to prove, or to make oath, that the sum of fl. 8:16 is due him. Parties having been heard, Burgomasters and Schepens appoint Teunis Tomassen and Pieter Jillisen, both masons, to inspect the work and to examine the difference of parties, and, if possible, to bring them to a settlement, or otherwise to deliver their report in writing to the Board.

Volume I, Pages 206-207, 8 Jun 1654
Teunis Tomasen, mason, pltf. v/s Michael Paulisen, deft., demands payment of fl. 13 for building a chimney according to contract. Deft. states, that the chimney smoked and that the contract was not fulfilled; that he was obliged to have it pulled down by other masonsand rebuilt, for which he had to pay 2 beavers, and contends therefore that he is not indebted. Parties having been heard on both sides, it was decided by the Court, that as deft. at his own pleasure had the chimney taken down and rebuilt, pltf. cannot be prejudiced thereby; he is therefore condemned to pay pltf. his demand, unless he prove on the contrary, that the work had not been done according to agreement.

Deft. admits having taken the boy @ fl. 11 per month, and pocket money every week, but says the boy is still bound to him for another half year; also he has not done, what he was bound to do, for which he was to receive spending money; therefore he does not owe the spending money. Pltf. replies and says, that her husband will have the money for the boy, every week and that he, the deft. said, he will not see the boy at the table. Deft. rejoins and says, that he stated, if the pltf. will have his money every week for the boy, he does not require the boy. Requests, that the boy serve out his time, promising to pay him.

Footnotes:
[1] Belitje Jacobs Van Vleckenstyn was a witness at the 1673 New Amsterdam baptism of Theunis, son of Dirck Theuniszen Quick and Hanna Jans (Belitje's grandson). I have seen no other records where she used such a name and I am unsure where Vleckenstyn was located.
[2] Phyllis J. Miller (PhyllisM19@aol.com) wrote in a post (Re: Cray & Cronkhite & Quick) on the Dutch Colonies mailing list 2 Jun 1998: "The author of the Quick Gen. had William J. Hoffman research the Naarden, Netherlands records and he came up with the marriage of Teunis Thomass and Belijtgen Jacobus, 9 Mar 1625 (Marriage Register) and just the one baptism-for Weyntgen in 1628 (Baptismal Register )."
[3] Weyntje Theunis and Herck Siboutszen's second recorded son was named Teunis (bap. 4 Jul 1655) and their second recorded daughter was named Beelitjen (bap. 4 Feb 1652). The following members of the Teunis Thomaszen family are mentioned as witnesses for the baptisms of Weyntje and Herck's children: Theunis de Metselaer/Theunis Teuniszen 2 times, Belitje Jacobs 3, Jacob Theuniszen 2, Hillegond Theunis 1, Geertie Theunis 2, Jacob Theuniszen de Key/Kray 3, and Karsten Luurzen 1. These clues suggest that Weyntje is the daughter of Teunis and Belitje. Herck was recorded in the baptism of his daughter, Maryken, as "Haricken Zibolts-ship carpenter".
[4] See footnote #1 above. In an earlier post on 31 May 1998, Phyllis J. Miller gave the specific date of the baptism.
[5] Jacob's patronym suggests that his father was named Theunis. In his marriage record, he is listed as coming from Naerden, another tie to the Quick family. In addition, Jacob was the witness twice for his sister Weyntje's children's baptisms. David E. Joyce records that Jacob and his wife had four children including a Theunis and a Belitje (though I have not seen the original source for these). Finally, it would have been customary for Belitje to have named one of her sons Jacob after her father. Fernow's Court Records of New Amsterdam list a Jacob Teunissen Quick in its index.
[6] Called "de Key" in a number of his children's baptismal records and called "van Thuyl" in one of these records.
[7] Believed to be a transcription error. All baptismal records for Herck's children that have a mother recorded list her as Weyntje Theunis. MB

Jacob Van Vlechtenstyn married Maria Jacob Van Dun in 1603 in Noord-Brabant, Netherlands.¹

Jacob Van Vlechtenstyn died in 1633 in Naarden, North Holland, Netherlands, at age ~55.¹²

Theunis Thomaszen Quick II, the Emigrant, was born circa 1600 in Naarden, North Holland, Netherlands.¹

Theunis Thomaszen Quick II, the Emigrant, died after 17 April 1670 in New Amsterdam, New Netherland, Dutch Republic Colony.^2,3

Theunis Thomaszen Quick II, the Emigrant, was also known as Teunis Thomaszen The name Thomaszen or Thomasen is a patronym for his father, Thomas.^4,5 Theunis Thomaszen Quick II, the Emigrant, was also known as Tenuis Thomasen Metselaer.^5,1 Theunis Thomaszen Quick II, the Emigrant, was also known as Theunis Thomaszen Cuyck de Matzelaer van Naarden, meaning the Mason from Naarden.¹ Theunis Thomaszen Quick II, the Emigrant, was also known as Teunis Thomaszen Quick. Theunis Thomaszen Quick II, the Emigrant, was also known as Theunis de Metselaer. He sometimes signed his name as Theunis Thomaszen Quick de Matzelaer van Naarden. The van Naarden refers to his home town in Holland. Naarden is located on the south shore of the Zuider Zee, some fifteen miles east of Amsterdam.⁶

Theunis Thomaszen Quick II, the Emigrant, married Belitje Jacobus, daughter of Jacob Van Vlechtenstyn, on 9 March 1625 in Naarden, Noord-Holland, Netherlands. Theunis Thomaszen Quick and Belijtgen Jacobus beyde jong, (both single), were married at Naarden, Holland, 9 Marty (March), 1625. Our research in the early records at Naarden shows this marriage. They apparently had seven children.³ Theunis Thomaszen Quick II, the Emigrant, was a mason (matzelaer, in Dutch.)²

Theunis Thomaszen Quick II, the Emigrant, and Belitje Jacobus emigrated in 1640 from Netherlands to New Amsterdam, New Netherland, Theunis Thomaszen Quick de Matzelaer van Naarden, as he sometimes signed his name, meaning the mason from Naarden, was first heard of in the early records at Nieuw Amsterdam (New York), when, with his wife, Belitje, they had their daughter Hillegonde baptized in the New Amsterdam Dutch Church 25 November, 1640. We have the baptismal records of all their children except Jacob, presumably born in Holland. Weyntje, the oldest, was baptized at Naarden 23 July 1628. It is believed that they came to America not long after the birth of Weyntje in 1628, though the exact time is not known.^7,2,8

Theunis Thomaszen Quick was a mason from Naarden, North Holland, Netherlands who settled in New Amsterdam, New Netherlands. Thomas married Belitje Jacobs [1] 9 Mar 1625 in Naarden, North Holland, Netherlands [2]. Theunis was known by his patronym (Thomaszen), his occupation (Metselaer, meaning mason), and the surname Quick. In 1665, he was living the Beaver's Graft in New Amsterdam.

Theunis and Belitje had:
1. Weyntje Theunis[3], born in Naarden, North Holland, Netherlands, baptized 23 Jul 1628 in Naarden, North Holland, Netherlands [4], married Herck Siboutszen 16 Nov 1642 in New Amsterdam, New Netherland.
2. Jacob Theuniszen Quick[5], born in Naarden, North Holland, Netherlands, married Neeltje Cornelis 24 Mar 1655 in New Amsterdam, New Netherland.

About the Quick Surname
I have seen no primary documentation that plainly shows that Theunis, the mason, and Theunis Thomassen Quick were one and the same. I have seen records that show that Belitje was the wife of Theunis Thomas, Theunis Thomassen Metselaer (mason), and Theunis de Metselaer, but no records where she is named as the wife of Theunis Thomassen Quick. Five of the children were baptized in New Amsterdam but none under the Quick name. However, there is an interconnectedness between Theunis, Belitje, and the seven children I have listed.
First of all, the baptismal witnesses show these connections: Witnesses at the baptisms of Weyntje and Herck's children include Theunis de Metselaer (10 Nov 1647, Maryken), Jacob Teuniszen and Beelitje Jacobs (4 Feb 1652, Beellitjen), Belitje Jacobs (4 Jul 1655, Teunis), Jacob Theuniszen and Belitje Jacobs (28 Nov 1657, Jan), Jacob Theuniszen de Key (Sep 1659, Jacobus), Hillegond Theunis (19 Apr 1662, Annetie), Jacob Theuniszen Cray and Geertie Theunis (3 Aug 1664, Jannetie), Geertie Theunis (22 Mar 1670, Pieter), and Karsten Luurzen (27 Mar 1675, Weyntie). Witnesses at Hillegond and Jacob's children's baptisms include Theunis Theuniszen Quick (4 Apr 1659, Theunis), Belitje Jacobs (28 Jan 1662, Johannes), Wyntie Theunis (28 Nov 1665, Janneken), Geertie Theunis (18 Jul 1668, Johannes), Charsten Luurszen (6 Jul 1670, Agnietie), Wyntie Theunis (27 Nov 1672, child not named), Karsten Leursen (27 Jan 1675, Maria), Geertie Theunis (4 Apr 1677, Samuel), Karsten Luurzen (25 Aug 1680, Rachel), Gerritie Theunis (20 Dec 1682, Samuel), and Geertie Theunis (26 Sept 1686, Rachel). The witness at the baptism of Maritje and Sebastien's daughter Belitje was Belitje Jacobs (13 Jun 1660). Thomas and Reymerick's children's baptismal witnesses include Carsten Luerse and Geertje Quick (Kingston baptismal #860, 25 Aug 1695, Geertje). Witnesses at the baptisms of Geertje and Carsten's children include Jacob de Key and Hillegond Theunis (25 May 1670, Marritie), Jacob Theuniszen de Key and Hillegond Theunis (9 Dec 1678, Aeltie), and Jacob Theuniszen de Key and Hillegond Theunis (19 Apr 1681, Johannes). Witnesses to baptisms of the children of Dirck and Hanna include Belitje Jacobs Van Vleckensteyn (7 Jun 1673, Theunis, note that father's name was) and Gerritje Jacobs and Belitje Quicks (13 Sep 1680, Elisabeth Marritie). The records that show Belitje Jacobs and Theunis de Metselaer are especially interesting because they show a relationship between Theunis and Belitje and the parents of the children baptized. Even more interesting is the record that shows Belitje Jacobs Van Vleckensteyn as the witness, since the father, Dirck, used the Quick name in this record.
Second, the court records of New Amsterdam show that on 14 Nov 1662, Tomas Teunisen Quick sued Symon Clazen. The very next case in the minutes was that of Weintje Teunis, who also sued Symon Clazen. Later that year, on 28 Nov, Tomas Teunissen again sued Symon Clazen. Tomas' witness was "Oventje, the pltfs. sister". (Oventje is believed to be a mistranscription and that the record should read "Wentje".)
Finally, Dirck's son, Thomas, is recorded as being indentured "with the consent of ...Helegant de Key, his aunt" on 2 Nov 1702 (New York Historical Society Collection, 1885, p.602.)
Besides the clues above, further clues can be gained from looking at names: All seven of the children used the patronym Theunis, Teunissen, etc., meaning that their father's name was Theunis. Three of Theunis and Belitje's daughters had daughters named Belitje: On 4 Feb 1652, Herck Sybenszen had second eldest daughter, Beellitjen, baptized, on 13 Jun 1660, Sebastiaen V. Sevenhuysen and Marritie Theunis had their only recorded child, Belitje, baptized and on 20 Dec 1684, Charsten Luursen and Geertie Quick had their fourth eldest daughter, Belitje, baptized. This further proves that Belitje was the mother of this family. Dirck and Thomas are recorded as using the name Quick. The index to the New Amsterdam court records shows that Jacob also used the name Quick. None of the daughters were recorded using the Quick name.
Because of the connections and clues above, the Quick family can be reconstructed with Theunis (the mason) and Belitje Jacobs as parents and Weyntje, Jacob, Hillegond, Maritje, Thomas, Geertje, and Dirck as children.

Teunis Tomasen, pltf. v/s Michiel Paulisen, deft. Pltf's wife appeared, and demands payment of a balance fl. 13 due her for a chimney, built by her husband. Deft. acknowledges the debt, whenever the work shall have been well and sufficiently done; and as said chimney now smokes badly and he engaged to make it good or no pay, deft. contends that he is under no obligation to pay. The Court decides, that Teunis Tomasen, who has done the work, must himself appear in person.

Volume I, Page 206, 8 Jun 1654
Matys Capito, pltf. v/s Roelof Cornelisen, deft., prosecutes and attachment served on Jan Gerritsen for the sum of fl. 8:16, which is due him. Deft. denies the debt, and claims from pltf. 25 gl. for labor, saying, that he is willing to offset the fl. 8:16, in case pltf. will affirm his claim under oath, and offers that the work done shall be examined by two impartial men, being satisfied with their verdict. Pltf. denies the debt for the work, since it is not finished and that he himself has labored in place of hodman, and offers to prove, or to make oath, that the sum of fl. 8:16 is due him. Parties having been heard, Burgomasters and Schepens appoint Teunis Tomassen and Pieter Jillisen, both masons, to inspect the work and to examine the difference of parties, and, if possible, to bring them to a settlement, or otherwise to deliver their report in writing to the Board.

Volume I, Pages 206-207, 8 Jun 1654
Teunis Tomasen, mason, pltf. v/s Michael Paulisen, deft., demands payment of fl. 13 for building a chimney according to contract. Deft. states, that the chimney smoked and that the contract was not fulfilled; that he was obliged to have it pulled down by other masonsand rebuilt, for which he had to pay 2 beavers, and contends therefore that he is not indebted. Parties having been heard on both sides, it was decided by the Court, that as deft. at his own pleasure had the chimney taken down and rebuilt, pltf. cannot be prejudiced thereby; he is therefore condemned to pay pltf. his demand, unless he prove on the contrary, that the work had not been done according to agreement.

Deft. admits having taken the boy @ fl. 11 per month, and pocket money every week, but says the boy is still bound to him for another half year; also he has not done, what he was bound to do, for which he was to receive spending money; therefore he does not owe the spending money. Pltf. replies and says, that her husband will have the money for the boy, every week and that he, the deft. said, he will not see the boy at the table. Deft. rejoins and says, that he stated, if the pltf. will have his money every week for the boy, he does not require the boy. Requests, that the boy serve out his time, promising to pay him.

Footnotes:
[1] Belitje Jacobs Van Vleckenstyn was a witness at the 1673 New Amsterdam baptism of Theunis, son of Dirck Theuniszen Quick and Hanna Jans (Belitje's grandson). I have seen no other records where she used such a name and I am unsure where Vleckenstyn was located.
[2] Phyllis J. Miller (PhyllisM19@aol.com) wrote in a post (Re: Cray & Cronkhite & Quick) on the Dutch Colonies mailing list 2 Jun 1998: "The author of the Quick Gen. had William J. Hoffman research the Naarden, Netherlands records and he came up with the marriage of Teunis Thomass and Belijtgen Jacobus, 9 Mar 1625 (Marriage Register) and just the one baptism-for Weyntgen in 1628 (Baptismal Register )."
[3] Weyntje Theunis and Herck Siboutszen's second recorded son was named Teunis (bap. 4 Jul 1655) and their second recorded daughter was named Beelitjen (bap. 4 Feb 1652). The following members of the Teunis Thomaszen family are mentioned as witnesses for the baptisms of Weyntje and Herck's children: Theunis de Metselaer/Theunis Teuniszen 2 times, Belitje Jacobs 3, Jacob Theuniszen 2, Hillegond Theunis 1, Geertie Theunis 2, Jacob Theuniszen de Key/Kray 3, and Karsten Luurzen 1. These clues suggest that Weyntje is the daughter of Teunis and Belitje. Herck was recorded in the baptism of his daughter, Maryken, as "Haricken Zibolts-ship carpenter".
[4] See footnote #1 above. In an earlier post on 31 May 1998, Phyllis J. Miller gave the specific date of the baptism.
[5] Jacob's patronym suggests that his father was named Theunis. In his marriage record, he is listed as coming from Naerden, another tie to the Quick family. In addition, Jacob was the witness twice for his sister Weyntje's children's baptisms. David E. Joyce records that Jacob and his wife had four children including a Theunis and a Belitje (though I have not seen the original source for these). Finally, it would have been customary for Belitje to have named one of her sons Jacob after her father. Fernow's Court Records of New Amsterdam list a Jacob Teunissen Quick in its index.
[6] Called "de Key" in a number of his children's baptismal records and called "van Thuyl" in one of these records.
[7] Believed to be a transcription error. All baptismal records for Herck's children that have a mother recorded list her as Weyntje Theunis. MB

Theunis Thomaszen QUICK and Belitjen JACOBUS

Theunis was born about 1601 in Naarden, Netherlands, and married 9 March 1625 in Naarden, Netherlands, Belitnen JACOBUS.

A Genealogy of the QUICK Family in America (1625--1942) 317 Years
+ A 1 Theunis Thomaszen QUICK and Belijtg JACOBUS, beyde jong, (both single), were married in Naarden, Holland, 9 Marty (March) 1625. Our early research in the early records at Naarden shows this marriage. Theunis Thomaszen QUICK de Matzelaer van Naarden, as he sometimee signed his name, meaning the mason from Naarden, was first heard of in the early records at Nieuw Amesterdam, (New York), when, with his wife, Belitje, they had their daughter Hillegonde baptized in the New Amsterdam Dutch Church 25 November, 1640. The van Naarden refers to his home town in Holland. Naarden is located on the south shore of the Zuider Zee, some fifteen miles east of Amesterdam. We have the baptismal records of all their children except Jacob, presumably born in Holland. Weyntje, the oldest, was baptized at Naarden den 23 July 1628. It is believed that they came to America not long after the birth of Weyntje, though the exact time is not known.

The present day aeroplane photograph of Naarden would suggest that the town has not changed greatly since 1625--not nearlly as much as the village they emigrated to. The star-shaped plan of the town, surrounded by the canal, with causways accross it at intervals for the convenience of the farmers to reach their farms outside the town, mutely tells the tale of the old feudal days. The star-shaped ancient fortifications surrounded the moat.

In proof of the fact that our first ancestor in America took a few fliers in down-town real estate in the heart of what has since become the center of the financial and business district of New York City, we submitt the following transactions gleaned from Stoke's "Iconography of Manhattan Island," a ponderous work in several volumes that sold for around $500 when published many years ago.

In the Castello plan --block D--No. 1--

In 1654 one Frederick Arentsen, a turner, had bought a lot from Teunis Tomassen, the mason, (Liber Deeds, A:148) who agreed to take a part of the price in chairs. Arentsen insisted having the lot "delivered to him at 13 inches to the foot," which Teunis and his wife, Belitje Jacobus, disputed.--(Rec. N. Amer., II:327, 338, III:3 12).

From Vol. 2:248--
No. 3--"Where Teunis Quick lives," is the entry in the DeSille list, of 1660. Theunis Tomassen, a mason, from Naarden, Province of N. Holland, is often referred to in early records as Teunis Quick--A surname held by his descendents at the present time.--(Records N. Am. II:428 et seq).

From Vol. 2:248--
Teunis Tomassen from Naarden was in Nieuw Amsterdam as early as 1640 (Col Hist. Mss. Dutch:14) and was established on this site (lot No. 3) by 1645.--(Liber GG.:107, Albany). By February 1659 he had build his "new" House (so called in Mortgages. 1645-=1660) and seems to have torn down his first house, of which the Plan shows no trace. His new house really stood on the lot next south. Tuenis sold his house to his son-in-law, Teunissen DeKAY, the baker,--(Liber Deeds, B:21 of Deeds and Conveyances, 1659-1654). This property remained in the DeKAY family until 1771.

From Vol. 2:374--Deeds from to others--
Block D--Lot 1--1645, 4 July--
Ground Brief (Land Patent) to Teunis Tomassen Van Naarden (G.G. 107). Description: "A lot for a hous and garden lying on the northeast side of Fort Amsterdam; it extends on the South Side in length next to the lots of Isaac DeFOREST and Flip GERAERDY, 9r., 8ft., 2ins. in front by the road, with an outpoint (projecting point) of 1r., 4ft., on West Side along said road 8r., 3ft.; on the North Side next to the road, till the lot of William Morrits; along his lot, 5r., 5ft., further along said lot till to te lot of Isaac DeFOREST 6r., 6ft., 9ins.; further on to the place of beginning 1r., 3ft., 8ins.; ammount in all 56r., 4ft., 7ins."

THE QUICK FAMILY- FROM HOLLAND TO AMERICA
Source: http://daancestry.blogspot.com/2011/10/quick-family-from-holland-to-america.html

We have records of our Quick family back to Naarden, North Holland, Netherlands in 1529. Our ancestor's name was Thomas Van Cuyck (Quick). His great grandson Theunis (Thomaszen) Quick was born about 1597 in Naarden, Netherlands and died April 19, 1666 in New York City, New York.

New York was originally settled as a colony of the Netherlands following Henry Hudson's exploration in 1609 of the river later named for him. In 1624 the Dutch established Fort Orange at modern Albany as the first permanent settlement in New York. One year later, New Amsterdam was established at the foot of Manhattan Island. To legalize the settlement, Peter Miniut, the Dutch governor, paid the Indians in merchandise worth 60 Dutch guilders (about $24.)

The Dutch established several settlements along the Hudson, mostly for the purposes of trade. However, they recognized the need to establish farms to support the trading industry. The first families that the Dutch West India Company brought to settle in New Amsterdam were primarily Huguenots. The Dutch West India company recognized that the head of a household was willing to work harder and defend the town if he had an interest in his residence. Thus Company issued land patents to families provided they met certain requirements. At the end of a period, the man could hold title to land. This was not possible in Europe at this time.

Theunis (Thomaszen) Quick married Belijtgen Jacobus Van Vlechtenstyn March 9, 1625 in Naarden. They had seven children including our ancestor Thomas Theunissen Quick who was born April 24, 1644 in New Amsterdam, Dutch Colony, New York and died in 1698 in Orange County, New York. He was the first Dutch ancestor to be born in the United States. .

Birth: 1601, Naarden, Noord-Holland, Netherlands

Death: unknown, New York, New York County, New York

He was the son of Thomas Quick, (1579-1650) who was born in Naarden, Holland. He grew to adulthood in Naarden and married there, 9 Mar 1625, to Belijtgen Jacobus. He became a mason by trade. At least two children were born to them before they set sail for the New World. They settled on the tip of New Amsterdam (now Manhattan) across the street from the fort. As the city grew he was kept busy with his trade. He was sometimes known as Theunis Quick de Matzelaer van Naarden, meaning the mason from Naarden.
He was granted "Small Burgher Right" at New Amsterdam on 14 Apr 1657. He took the Oath of Allegiance 22-26 Oct 1664 at New York. He had more than 20 dealings of buying and selling real estate between 1645 and 1663. On 19 April 1666 he was living on the Beaver Graft.
He may have died in the first half of 1667 as several times his real estate sales of previous years are made clear in the courts in the summer of that year.

He was the father of seven known children;

Teunis Thomas Quick (abt. 1600 - aft. 1670)

Biography

Name
Teunis uses the surname “Quick” (Teunis Tomassen Quick) the first time in a case at the Court of Burgomasters and Schepens as a defendant against Pieter Caspersen 30th November 1654.[5] All of Teunis‘s children assumed the Quick surname during this time. Teunis did not formally use “Quick” but used Thomas(s)(zen), Van Naerden (Naarden) or Metselaer (bricklayer) up until this court case. Pieter Caspersen, pltf. v /s Teunis Tomassen Quick, deft. Deft. In default.

Theunis Thomas(s)(zen) (Quick) a.k.a. Theunis Thomas(zen) (Cuyck)[1], Theunis Thomaszen Quick de Metselaer.[2]

Teunis Thomass and Belijtgen Jacobus beyde jong, (both single), tot Naerden were married in Naarden, Noord-Holland, on 9 Marty (March), 1625. [3][2]
Marriage Teunis Thomass and Belijtgen Jacobs, 9 March 1625 Naarden

Teunis and Belitje presumably came to New Amsterdam between 1634 - 1638 from Amsterdam [Netherlands], his last recorded address. On October 9th, 1640 we have our first record of Teunis in Niew Amsterdam, Dutch Colony, North America.

Theunis Thomas(zen) (Quick) de Metselaer van Naarden, as he sometimes signed his name, meaning the mason from Naarden, was ?rst heard of in the early records at Nieuw Amsterdam, (now New York), when, with his wife, Belitje, they had their daughter Hillegonde baptized in the New Amsterdam Dutch Church 25 November, l640.he "van Naarden" refers to his home town in Holland. Naarden is located on the south shore of the Zuider Zee, some ?fteen miles east of Amsterdam. We have the baptismal records of all their children except Jacob, presumably born in Holland, at Naarden. Weyntje, the oldest, was baptized at Naarden den 23 July 1628. It is believed that they came to America not long after the birth of Weyntje, though the exact time is not known.

Arthur C. Quick, in A Genealogy of the Quick Family in America (1625-1942) 317 years, provides us with a long account of Theunis' land investments.

Theunis Thomaszen Quick, mason, was granted “Small Burgher Right” at New Amsterdam 14 April 1657. (NYHS Coll.,1885, p. 21). _ 5

He took the Oath of Allegiance 22-26 October 1664 at New York. (Doc. Rel. to Col. Hist. N.Y. 3:76).;

He was "living on the Beaver Graft, 19 April 1666.—(Femow’s “Records of N.A.;” 1897, Vol. 5:224.) .[2]

His sister?, "Oventje" Cuyck, is mentioned as a witness in a 28 Nov 1662 lawsuit in Fernow’s “Records of N.A.;” 1897, Vol. 5:224.) . This reference is suspected to be a mistranscription of a reference to daughter Wentje|Weyntje, rather than to a sister.

Volume VI, Page 224, 15 Mar 1669/70 Dirck Claesen Pottebacker, plt., agst Teunis Tommisen, mason, deft. Plt demands payment of the sum of fl. 39. zeawant, being wages as hodman earned by defts. order. Defts. wife appearing says, that it must be paid by Abram Carmer as said Carmer agreed for the attendance of the masons in said work and through his neglect the plt. was employed. The W: Court having heard parties it was decreed, that the deft. must pay his hodman and therefore the deft. is ordered to pay the sd. sum of fl. 39 with costs. [4] This court case establishes that Theunis Thomaszen Quick was alive on 15 March 1669/70.

His name appears in the N.A. Dutch Church baptismal records at intervals between 1640 and 1655. Baptism of his children, grand children, and children of friends.

As stated elsewhere he sometimes added the words “de Metselaer” (the mason) after his name. (In 1641 a “Teunis de Metselaer” was a settler or property owner in Rennselaerswyck. (O’Callaghan’s Hist. of New Netherlands, p. 430). This may or may not have been our Theunis.).[2]

Birth

Theunis Thomas(zen) was born ca. 1600, at Naarden, North Holland, Netherlands.[2] Note: Some sources show Theunis Thomaszen Quick to be born in 1578. This Date suggests that another generation existed. If Theunis Thomaszen Quick was born in 1578 then he would have been 46 at marriage to Belitgen age 20, and age 70 in 1648, when son Dirck Theuniszen was born. While possible, it is not probable or logical. I suggest that the date of birth of abt 1600 to be more accurate.

Naarden

Naarden (na?rd?(n)) (listen)) is a municipality and a town in the Gooi region in the province of North Holland in the Netherlands. Naarden is an example of a star fort, complete with fortified walls and a moat. The moat and walls have been restored and are currently in excellent condition.[5]

Marriage
Theunis Thomass and Belijtgen Jacobus (Jacobs, (van) Vleckesteijn) were married Mar 09, 1625 at Naarden, North Holland, Netherlands Holland. Naarden Marriage Register (Inv.418a). [3][2].

Emigration/Arrival

Arrival at "New York", NY bef. 25 November, 1640[6][7]. Theunis and his wife Belijte baptized their daughter Hillegonde at the New Amsterdam Dutch Church on 25 November, 1640; Theunis was a witness at the 1647 baptism of his granddaughter Maryken, daughter of Haricken Zibolts (and his wife Wyntie Teunis).

It has been assumed that Teunis was a mason, but the Dutch word metselaer or the modern metselaar is actually a person who works with fired brick. A stonemason would be called a steenhouwer and it is a different skilled trade working with cut rock. When Teunis arrived in Amsterdam he probably was employed to work on Fort Amsterdam’s outer walls facing the sea under the employ of the Dutch West India Company. Early New Amsterdam needed skilled brickworkers and from court records, Teunis was later hired to build and repair fireplaces for its residents.

Teunis purchased land and built a house just east of the fort across the Marketveld (now Whitehall St) before 1643 and at one time owned a good portion of the NE corner of block D of the Castello Plan.On July 4th, 1645 Teunis received a ground brief to build a new house on the center of Block 13 next to the lots of Issac de Foreest and Flip Geraerdy. Teunis was illiterate but his wife Belitje “Beletje Metzelaar” could read and write and sometimes stood for him in court. 1658 she sued Fredrick de Drayer (Bloem) for a contract dispute on a sale of land and had carpenter Abraham Jansen arrested for failing to finish her house. Belitje also went back to the Netherlands about 1661 to finish up family business and accounts and requested Teunis send money. The illiterate Teunis had to go to the Burgomasters Court to have his wife’s letter read back to him.

Children

Theunis Thomas(zen) (Quick)and Belitje Jacobs, his wife, the founders of the Quick Family in America had seven children:

Weyntje Theunis, b, ca. 1628, at Naarden, Netherlands; Weyntje, the oldest child, was bpt. 23 July 1628, at Naarden, Netherlands.[8] She m. 1642 16 Nov[9]; Henricus Sibelszen|Siboutszen, jm van Langendyck. NOTE: This marriage entry appears to contain a transcription error, listing sister Marritje, b. march 23, 1642, in place of Weyntje. All subsequent baptismal records for Henricus|Herck's children that have a mother recorded, list her as Weyntje Theunis. [10][2]
Jacob Theuniszen Quick, b. at Naarden, Netherlands; m. 1655 24 Mar[11], at New Amsterdam, NN.
Hillegond Theunis, b. 1640 Nov 25 [12] at New Amsterdam, NN; she d. ca. 1707. She married, Mar 29, 1658, Jacob Theunisen de Kay|Key (Van Thuyl) who came from Thuyl in Gelderland, Holland.

2.)1671 01 Apr Hans Careley [19]
3) 1685 20 May[20]; Francisco Anthony.
Dirck Theuniszen (de Metselaer b, 1648 Jul 26 [21] at New Amsterdam, d. ca 1702. M. Hanna Jans on 1673 Jun 07[22].

Death

Theunis Thomaszen Quick died after 15 March 1669/70,[23] presumably in Manhattan. His wife Belijte sponsored alone the 1673 baptism of the son of Dirck Theuniszen Quick & Hanna Jans, so he might have died before that date. This would have been an important family event.

This custom also prevailed in America for many generations among many of the Dutch families. There being no "Q" in the Dutch alphabet our name for years was variously spelled in church and other records--Kwik, Cuyck, Cuik, Cuick, Kuik, Kuyk, etc., in fact in early records all names were spelled phonetically.¹

Captain Jacobus James Edsall's decedents became the most Patriotic Sussex County New Jersey Family, who served in the Revolutionary War with his four sons, and has grandsons Soldiers to every war our nation has waged. His family enlisted from Vernon County, New Jersey. No family in New Jersey was more patriotic in the glorious struggle from 1776-1785 which our ancestors waged for the liberty of this country. A father and his four sons went through its hardships and dangers unscathed. The latter fact was fully as remarkable as their brave enlistment, for they were in the bloodiest battles of Brandywine, Monmouth and many others.
