GED4WEB version 4.41 Quick Thomas Nathaniel [Male] b. 22 NOV 1876 Springfield, Livingston Parish, La. - d. 19 DEC 1939 Collins Cemetery, Covington County, Ms.
James E. Quick married Francis L. Courtney Breland, the widow of Vanburen D. Breland. James's brother, Charles H. Quick, married Leona J. Breland, daughter of Vanburen D. Breland and Francis L. Courtney.
On 30 January 1993 I received a copy of the Mississippi Confederate Grave Registration for James E. Quick. It shows he was born on 11 January 1846 and died of a heart attack on 28 November 1913. His next of kin is shown as T. N. Quick, his fourth son. It also shows he enlisted 1 October 1863 and was discharged 7 May 1865. This registration shows that he served in Company I of the 5th Mississippi Calvary, but when I checked the Compiled Service Records for Mississippi Confederate Soldiers I could not find any record of him.
Other information I obtained from the Covington County Couthouse shows he served in Company A, 8th Louisiana Battalion and Company C, 9th Louisiana Battalion. This information came from the Mississippi census of soldiers who served in the C.S.A. in 1907, 1909, 1911, and 1913.
Family information says that James Quick was captured at the first battle of Vicksburg and taken to the POW camp at Ship Island, La..
Elizabeth Ann Quick was also know as "Annie" and supposedly married a Mr. James Gunn who founded or help found the town of Gunn, Mississippi. This item is still under investigation by myself, and my father who presently resides in Collins, Ms.
There appears to be much confusion about this whole subject of Elizabeth Ann Quick and James Gunn. I do have an article from xxxx that talks about a James Gunn and a Harriet (Quick) Gunn. It states that James Gunn was born in North Carolina in the 1790's and Harriet Quick was born in South Carolina also in the 1790's. Early in the 1800s James and Harriet Gunn migrated to Mississippi where they began to raise their family on 160 acres of land that was homesteaded from the newly created state. James and Harriet died between 1850 and 1880 in Mississippi.
There is also listed in "Who Married Whom in Perry County, Ms." a James Gunn, born in Jackson County, North Carolina about 1791, married Harriet Quick. Even more confusing.
