Theunis Jacobson Quick Theunis Jacobsen Quick was also known as Teunis Jacobsen Quick, and a number of sources refer to him as Teunis. In The New Amsterdam/New York Reformed Dutch Church records, for his children's baptizm, he was recorded as Theunis. No Baptism record was found for Theunis Jacobsen Quick at the New Amsterdam/New York Reformed Dutch Church. His parents were living in Albany during the years he and his siblings were born. His father Jacob Theunisen, van Naarden, Quick (aka. de Looper) was a baker at both Albany and later Manhattan, New York. His father also served as a Constable in Albany. Theunis Jacobson Quick was born circa 1663 in New York state. He resided at at Albany, Albany County, New York, before 1689.

He left a will on 25 April 1739 that names his sons, Jacobus, Teunis, Cornelis, Petrus, and Abraham, and dau. Neeltie, wife of John Thurman. From the above we infer that among other enterprises he was in the bakery business, perhaps succeeding his father, who was in the same business in May, 1667, [1]. His will also provides that his daughter Neeltie is to receive the house on the east side of Broad St., N. Y., and the 5 sons were to have the rest of his estate. Their Negro woman and child to be sold to the highest bidder among his children.[2][3][4]. His estate was proven on 1 November 1743. David Conover's Famous Cousins; dave@conovergenealogy.com

Life Events Theunis was made a "Freeman" 18 Dec. 1695 (NYHS Coll. 1885 p. 59). He and his brother Cornelis resided in the North Ward, New York, according to the tax lists for 1695 to 1699, and were the only ones of that name in the section. About the same time his household consisted of 1 male, 1 female, 4 children, 1 negress [16]. Theunis had interests in New Jersey also, and several of his sons later settled there on extensive farms. Theunis was among the contributors to pay the expenses of a Dominie to come from Holland to take charge of the congregation at Three Mile Run, Somerset Co., N. J. "Teunis Kwik" joined the N. Y. Dutch Ch. 2 March 1705 (Record 59:263). Our Stryker Ancestors The Kierstede Bowl [17] The New York Sun of April 9, 1938, records, together with photos, the coming to light of the large silver bowl made for Theunis and Vroutie Quick. "The largest two-handled American Silver Bowl known to date has just been acquired by Robert Ensco, Inc., of New York City. It was made by Cornelius Kierstede, a silversmith of Dutch ancestry, who was baptized in New York in 1675. He served his apprenticeship as a silversmith and became a Freeman in 1698. He moved to New Haven in 1722. "This Kierstede bowl is unusual because of its size and its beauty. It is ten inches in diameter, four and one-half inches high and weighs a bit over twenty-six ounces. It is more than an inch larger than any other known two-handled bowl made by an American silversmith. "There are six panels with embossed floral decoration that suggest the flower motifs used by early Dutch painters. In the bottom of the bowl is a large conventionalized flower of intricate workmanship. "While Cornelius Kierstede worked in New York City his silver was highly individual and showed strong traces of continental influence. Unlike many pieces of fine silver, this two-handled bowl bears the initials of the owners, Q over T and V, for Theunis Jacobsen Quick and his good wife, Vroutje Janse Haring Quick. They were married in the Dutch Re- formed Church in New York City, 1st Dec. 1689. Later they moved to Somerset County, N. J., where Theunis was an honored member of the Dutch Reformed Church in New Brunswick. "There is no question that this bowl was made by Cornelius Kierstede while he still lived in New York City. It shows a well-defined foreign influence with the caryatid handles and the elaborate detail. Stephen G. C. Ensco considers this piece one of the most important examples of late seventeenth century American silver he has ever seen." This bowl is now in possession of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Jan Pietersen Haring, father of Vroutje, who married Theunis Jacobsen Quick, was the leader in a project to buy out the Tappan Indian rights in a large tract of land, some 12,000 acres, lying on the west side of the Hudson, partly in N. Y. and partly in N. J. Of the 16 shares in the syndicate Haring took three shares for himself and two sons. The deed to the land was signed by the Tappan Indian chiefs 17 March 1681 (old style, which is 1682 in the modern calendar). The land was paid for in goods of many descriptions. Jan died in December 1683. Jan's sons, Peter and Cosyn Haring, each had one share in the syndicate, and on 8 April 1685, when Jan's widow, Grietje Cosyns, married Daniel De Clerk, the third share passed to the widow's new husband.--[18] Our Stryker Ancestors Death Theunis Jacobsen Quick died between 25 APR 1739 and 1 November 1743, at New York, New York. He left a will on 25 April 1739, which was proven on 1 November 1743. Alternate Death: User ID: A3161E54-D39E-422C-A044-7ABBDA59A075 Record ID Number: MH:IF36017 Date: 25 APR 1739, New York City, NY
