Calvin Topping arrived in Canada in 1844 at the age of four so that could be the time Calvin and Rosanna Quick came to Westminster as well.
Calvin Topping was born in Vermont. There are several families in BS who’s origins seem to be Vermont. Most of them seem to have arrived after the War of 1812.
I have asked Lynn Topping, one of our members about the Quicks in relation to the Toppings, but she came up blank.
When I was growing up in south London, we had neighbours by the name of Quick. The eldest one once delivered milk in Westminster. Roy Norton knew him. His grandson was a playmate of mine. He moved out west a long time ago, but I still think of asking him stuff if we ever meet up again in this small world.
Calvin Quick was years older than his first wife Rosanna and his second wife Maria was young enough to be his daughter,
Calvin and Maria had a son named Edwin, but I have not been able to trace Edwin or his mother,Maria who was born in England.
Calvin is buried at Woodland in an unmarked grave. He died in 1881 at the age of 67. His son Edwin was about 8 at that time.
