I think I have determined that Tunis Quick's property was near what is now Quicksburg, north and a little west of New Market, Virginia. His neighbors were Henry Bushong and brother Peter Bushong. This area was called the Forest at one time, am I correct? Gloria ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour
Hi, I did a fast check of some of the deeds in Amy Gilreath's deed books. There is a Tunis Quick & a Tunis Quick, Jr. These deeds often mention land in that is located in both Shenandoah and Rockingham Counties. Must have been right on the boader. Also I see the Reader name mentioned. They married early on (early 1700s) into my Painter/Bender family. My Readers lived near Timberville in Rockingham County which is close to the Shenandoah County boarder. This might be an area to check out. These Readers also gave land for the Reader Church. Maybe your ancestor went there? Also see a 1793 deed from Stoutmoier to Peter Bushong - mentions 3 tracts of land. One mentions Timber Ridge which the Gazetteer says is located just west of Little Mountain the ridge runs four miles from its southwestern end at the Rockingham - Shenandoah County border to its northeastern end at Straight Run and Macanie (3.5 miles west of Basye). Western end of the "Forest" area. Named in 1746.
