COMMENTS: From NEW YORK HISTORICAL MANUSCRIPTS: DUTCH, VOL II; translated by Dingman Versteeg, 1976, Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., p. 236; Kingston NY Public Library. The following probably concerns this Thomas Quick. There was an extraordinary session of the court and council called 2 June 1665 in Wildwyck, to examine persons in regard to "the turmoil on May 26 last." In addition to others, Tomas Teunissen Quick was asked what induced him "to take hold of the gun, when he did not have the watch? says that he did as any other, and that he was very drunk. Neither does he know who took his gun from him. Who persuaded him to do so? says that he was in company with a number of young fellows drinking and bowling, and then went out with the others. Of whom he received the word? says not being able to remember whether he had the word, because he was very drunk."
