John Quickel was
ìborn in 1762 and baptized at Strayerís Church onÝ July 27, 1763.Ý Michael Quickel willed to his son the 200 acres of land which he owned, (the son)  John did not accept the conditions of his fatherís will and purchased 75 acres to the east of his fatherís land in 1787....adjacent to his fatherís farm and the church.... (At the age of 14 and) in 1776 he marched part of the way with his father with farmerís turned infantry.  ì In August of 1776, Michael (johnís father) led a group of volunteer farmers turned infantry into Philadelphia.Ý According to reports from members of the Baer and Becker families, John Quickel, 14 years old, traveled with his father and his group of fighters but stayed behind at a relativeís house in Lancaster while the men continued onward. .....Both of these documents are found at the Historical Society of York.Ý Though crudely done, merely photocopied notes, both contained small tales passed along of Michael Quickelís volunteer march which places John Quickel at the scene for at least part of the march to Philadelphia. ìIn 1808 John Quickel is commissioned as Justice of the Peace for Manchester Township....John Quickel never appears in any of the tax records as a stonecutter, or weaver, or mason, or anything that one would normally connect with gravestone carving.Ý John Quickel is usually found as ìEsquireî in the tax records due to his 12 year career as a Justice of the Peace.Ý However, John Quickel leaves behind some record suggesting that he was a stone carver. ... Being a Justice of the Peace, along with many positions of life at the time (like gravestone carving) were often side-jobs at best.Ý Many early immigrants were occupying several stations in life at one time.Ý In Johnís case it is difficult to determine which he considered to be his main occupation, though the census records of the day show him as esquire, not as farmer or stone cutter. The notebook which John Quickel used at the time is the same notebook his father used to record the names and allowances of his fellow volunteers in his march of 1776 and still exists at the Historical Society of York.Ý It reveals the day to day workings of John from 1810 until the book is filled in 1814.Ý With the exception of the parts written by his father, it is entirely in cursive English.(3) .... Though much of the cases recorded by John are hum-drum, day-to-day squabbles over debts and labor disputes, there are the occasional cases which sound more like a television sit-com:
Before me the subscriber one of the justices of the peace in and for theÝ county of York, personally came Benjamin Edward of the township of ManchesterÝ in the said county, who upon his solemn affirmation according to Law, said, thatÝ on this day being the eleventh Day of March at Mr. John Shiers Innkeeper inÝ Manchester township foresaid, Thomas Bond of the same township, made anÝ assauld up on this affirmant and then and there did violently beat and abuse himÝ upon the head with an Iron handle of a stofe scraper until the blood ran from hisÝ head and demnd his black soul and that he would shood him.

"This appears to be nothing more than the 1811 version of a bar fight.Ý The day itself must have been a pretty violent one, however, as Christina Borke of Newberry would report to John Quickel, Esq. three days later, on March 14th that:
Catharina King and husband George did follow this affirmant to theÝ schoolhouse, and then and there did violently scold and abuse her, and calt herÝ all the bad names and bat words that could be mentioned and lifted up his fist andÝ that she is afeard of her live.
 In fact, life as a Justice of the Peace was all but hum-drum.Ý There are a few other cases over the four years, reported directly to John Quickel, Esq., of various ìviolentî things occurring ìthen and thereî which usually consisted of somebody hitting somebody else over the head with something.Ý With all of this head hitting going on, the association of Justice of the Peace and gravestone carver may have been a frugal agreement.
In a labor dispute dated May 30, 1810, the notebook also gives us an idea of how sandstone was gathered and quarried in the earliest days of settlement:
Mr. Bond hath hiert there wagon and fore horses for four dollars per dayÝ and the said the wold hall as big a lods as Smeiser had that time when the cameÝ there for do make the bargin, and one of them was to stay in the woods and biigÝ ang gether and quarry stones and help to lod the wagon and he was to have threeÝ quarter dollars per day for doing that and Mr. Bond and the agreed the shouldÝ come on Monday morning...

ÝThough it is difficult to tell by the awkward language and the phonetic spellings, the basics are clear: sandstone was probably ìgatheredî just as much as it was quarried at this early time in the new settlement, and was as much of an attempt at clearing the land as much as it was a desire to earn a profit from the stone.Ý Certainly this changes over time and quarries, particularly on your own farmland, were established.
This passage from 1810, when compared to passages from later dates, also illustrates clearly John Quickelís increasing grasp of the English language.Ý Slowly, over the three years John keeps records in the notebook, his grammar and spelling improve.
What this notebook doesnít tell us, unfortunately, is anything about John Quickel, the German stone-cutter.Ý As per the government, which ordered all legal documents to be in English, Johnís first language is only revealed by the phonetic spellings which occur in the earliest years of his work as a Justice.Ý It does not offer us, nor have I found anywhere, a hint as to how John Quickel received an education or his affection for the law.Ý Nor does it contain any mention of anything at all personal to John, save for a small scrap of paper between the pages, a receipt from John Rutt which reads:
ÝRecíd, April 8th, 1825 from John Quickel gaurtian for Rebecca Frey forÝ one table & two chairs the sum of one dollar eight one cent.
Though the notebook is filled by 1814, John Quickel continues his post at Justice of the Peace until 1820.Ý In 1824 he builds his first stone house on his lot of land.Ý This house, which still stands, nearly propped up by a major four-lane highway, is a two story sandstone house and sandstone and wood barn about 1/2 mile north-east of the church(Fig 5).Ý On the southern gable of the barn is a datestone which imitates his gravestones with a worn-down twelve point sun. On the western gable of this house is a another wonderful display of Quickelís carving ability.Ý Under two suns and a trio of tulips springing out of a vase appears the phrase, both in German and English, ìBuilt by John Quickel and his wife Elizabeth - 1824.î (Fig. 6) ì

Birth: England45
Marr: Not Married, he abandoned the mother and her child.
Notation: Because of her child,  Martin Luther Duhling,  born out of wedlock, Anna Barbara is said to have been disowned by her family. But this is not the case. Although not mentioned in her father's will, she and her son resided with her father until 1831.
ìÝ Around 1811, Ann Barbara, John Quickelís 6th child, born in 1792, had an affair with an English still operator named Martin Duhling.Ý After learning of Ann Barbaraís pregnancy, Martin conveniently left town for Ohio, leaving Ann Barbara with an illegitimate boy whom she named Martin Duhling, Jr.Ý This goes far beyond cultural tension, and no doubt would have influenced most German-American fatherís opinions of the non-German speaking males of America. ... If it (Martinís illegitimate birth)  affected John (Martinís grandfather Quickel) , he hardly let it show, unless it was the very cause of his increasingly elaborate tulip designs.Ý In the Quickel history, David Quickel reports that Ann Barbara was disowned by the family, and indeed her name does not appear in JohnísÝ will.Ý But she and Martin, Jr. lived with John until 1831, and of all of the grandchildren it is Martin, Jr. who walks in his grandfatherís footsteps in both longevity and assumption of numerous community-oriented roles.Martin Duhling, Jr., a Quickel at heart, teaches school for 32 terms, makes pottery for 20 years, is a Justice of the Peace for 42 years, a Postmaster for 6, and aids in forming the York County Teacherís Institute in 1854.Ý For an illegitimate grandson, he certainly wasnít an outlet for any tension that his situation may have created. ì10

Bio on Jacob Quickel  From "History of Hamilton County, Indiana" 1915, Prof. J. F. Haines, Bowman & Co., Indianapolis. pp 877-878. Obvious errors occur. Caveat Emptor,
ì...JACOB QUICKEL, a retired farmer of Jackson township, this county, was born in York county, Pennsylvania, in 1834, the son of George and Susan (Good) Quickel, his father's birth having occurred on the same farm in Pennsylvania. GEORGE QUICKEL was a life-long farmer and the son of JOHN QUICKEL, who was born and lived all of his life in the same county in Pennsylvania. The Quickel's are of Dutch ancestry and came to this country early in the eighteenth century and settled in Pennsylvania, being classed with that large number of substantial and worthy citizens known as the "Pennsylvania Dutch." GEORGE QUICKEL and wife were the parents of eight children, John, deceased; Elizabeth, living in Iowa; Jacob, a venerable pioneer of this county; Anna, deceased; Rudolph, deceased; Elias, deceased; Catherine, deceased, and Susan, who lives in Pennsylvania. The three brothers of JACOB QUICKEL were soldiers in the Union army during the Civil War.
JACOB QUICKEL attended school in a little log school house in Pennsylvania, but owing to the death of his father when he was only thirteen years of age his education was very limited. While still a mere boy, he began to "work out" by the month of his home county. When twenty-three years of age he came to Indiana and settled in Wayne county. While living there he was married in 1860 and lived there after his marriage for nine years. In 1869 he went to Henry county,adjoining Wayne county on the way west, where he lived until 1873, since which time he has lived in Hamilton on a farm one mile from Arcadia. He purchased this farm of eighty acres immediately upon coming to this county and has improved it by erecting buildings and constructing fencing, so that today the farm presents a very attractive appearance. He has always been engaged in general farming, but of recent years has paid particular attention to the raising of Jersey cattle, which he has found to be a very profitable investment.
