Surname: Calaway, Quick
-------------------------
I've been searching for a long time on this. Francis Quick married Nancy
Calway on March 7, 1838, in Edgar County, IL. I believe Nancy's mother
was Elizabeth (maiden name not known). My great-grandfather, James W. Quick,
had written the name Elizabeth Callaway born in VA,(1786-1871) below the
names of all his children in his Bible. I'm told that his parents died
early in life and his grandmother raised him. He was born in 1839 in Edgar
Co., IL, the son of Francis and Nancy.
I don't know the name of Nancy's father, or the names of either of Francis'
parents, but, of course, that's the people I'm looking for.
James Quick married in Polk Co., Missouri, to Mary Hurt in 1858. Mary died
in 1886, and in 1888, he married Celia Ann Cowen and they lived in Fayetteville,
AR. I haven't been able to find any Callaways with a James Quick in the
family in Missouri. If anyone knows anything connected to this, I would
certainly appreciate hearing from you. Thanks.
