I could use some help from all of you to find the parent's of Olmstead Quick. He was born in 1811 and according to the 1855 State census he was born in Westchester Co. By 1829, he was in Onondaga Co. as he married Geneveret Potter with whom he had several children. When she died in 1848 he married Nancy Eddy and had several more children. Olmstead, wives and many children are buried in South Onondaga Cemetery. He lived in the village of South Onondaga where he had a store and he was a shoemaker, a trade that he learned before he got to Onondaga. There is a book on the Quick family in America but even they can't identify his parents. When Olmstead actually came to Onondaga I don't know, just that he was there by 1829. He would have only been 18 when he married. I assume he must have come to Syracuse with some one but who? I did find a Peter Quick that was born about 1800, he is also buried in South Onondaga Cemetery but if there is any relationship, I have found none. Olmstead's death certificate gives no clues. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks in advance!! Jodell
