Jacob Helmick
Jacob Helmick was the father of my gr. gr. gr. grandmother Elizabeth Helmick. Jacob Helmick was born in 1748 in Virginia, he died in 1815. He was the son of Jacob A. Helmick born 1720, and Sarah Schotts. Jacob Helmick fought in the Revolutionary War. He married Barbara Hinkle, the daughter of Jacob and Sarah (Teter) Hinkle. They had 11 children-Adam Helmick, Jacob Helmick Jr., John Helmick, Hannah Helmick, Elizabeth Helmick, Sarah Helmick, Madeline Helmick, Barbara Eve Helmick, Abraham Helmick, Mary Helmick, and Margaret Helmick.
(Note: Some sources say Jacob Helmick's wife was Barbara Hinkle, and other sources say Jacob Helmick's wife was Barbara Borer.)
------------
Another source said Jacob Helmick (son of Jacob A. Helmick and Sarah A. Schotts) was born 1748 in Hampshire County, Colony of Virgina, and died June 13, 1815 in Pendleton Co., (W)VA, and that he married Barbara Borer in 1770 in Randolph County, Va., daughter of Jacob Borer and Barbary Tschudi. Jacob Helmick was a prosperous farmer who settled in Hampshire County, (now Pendleton Co., WV) in Tygarts Valley. In the will he made dated June 13, 1815, he leaves the bulk of his estate to his two sons, Adam and Abraham. During the Revolutionary War he served in Captain Stump's Company, Lafayette's Command. In "The Henckel Genealogy" it states that Jacob was probably the son of Jacob A. Helmick born 1712 of Richmond County, Virginia who in turn was the son of John Helmick son of John Helmick born 1682 in Jamestown, Virginia. The Helmick History continues: "The name Helmick has been traced in a history of the Pennsylvania Dutch to near the city of Strasbourg in Alsace, Germany. It is supposed they came over with the large emigration about 1700 to l730 and landed at Philadelphia, PA. Authentic history of our immediate ancestors begins with four brothers who lived on Red Stone Creek near where Uniontown, PA now stands. They all fought in the Revolutionary War." "Early Records of Hampshire Co." contains a will dated 10/19/1778 made by Jacob Borer and probated 11/10/1778. This will lists his wife, Barbary and eight children: Barbary, Charles, Mary Jacob, Elizabeth, Thomas, Martin and Rosanna. Executors are his wife, Jacob Hankel and John Wilson. Sec. are Christopher Ermintrout and Henry Judy. Witnesses are: Jacob Helmick, Jaco Ross and Chrles Bower (Borer). There is also a record in the Hampshire Co. "Index to Land Deeds" showing that Jacob Helmick purchased 100 acres of land from Thomas Lord Fairfax on 3/6/1780, recorded 3/14/1780. The land was located on South Branch. Witnesses were: Robert Stephens, G. Iones, Andrew Wodrow, Job Bacorn and John Bacorn.

--------------
(1a) Harmen Rutgers and Catrina De Hooges' daughter Elsje "Elsie" Rutgers was born in Manhattan during the early 1670s. On January 1, 1694 she married David D. Schuyler in the Albany Dutch church. At least six of her children were baptized there between 1695 and 1715. Like her husband, she was a prominent church member and a frequent baptism sponsor. David D. Schuyler died in 1715 at age forty-six - leaving her with several small children. In 1722, she married Reverend Petrus Vas in the New York City Dutch Church. Gerardus Duyckinck painted her portrait the next year. She was still alive in 1752.
Elsje's 1st husband David Davidtse Schuyler was born June 11, 1669, and died December 16, 1715 in Albany. He was the son of David Pieterse Schuyler and Catalyntje Ver Planck. He married Elsje Rutgers January 01, 1693/94 in Dutch Church, Albany, NY. David Davidse Schuyler grew up in his father's house on Market Street near the north gate of the Albany stockade. One of the leading Albany fur traders and landholders, David's father died in 1690 when the young man was twenty-years-old. In 1694, he married Elsie Rutgers, the daughter of a prominent Manhattan merchant. The couple had six children all of whom were baptized in the Albany Dutch church where both parents were members. Like other seventeenth-century Albany Schuylers, David Davidse built his fortune in the fur trade and was a prominent Albany merchant residing in the first ward. His status was recognized when he was elected assistant alderman in 1697. On behalf of the Albany government, several times he carried documents to the governor in New York. In 1699, he was elected first ward alderman and served for many years. He was an active council member and often was sent into the Indian country and to Canada on city business. In 1705, he was appointed sheriff of Albany city and county. He served for a year and he was appointed mayor of Albany in 1706. During his mayoralty, Albany began to develop its landed interests at Schaghticoke. Superceded as mayor by Robert Livingston, Jr., David Schuyler was elected alderman for the first ward in 1710. He was re-elected for the last time in September 1715. Perhaps because of the early death of his father and a relatively short life-span of his own, this third son was unlike other prominent Schuyler family members in that he did not acquire extensive investment lands. However, he would have been a partner in the Kaydaderosseras patent had it been confirmed before his untimely death.

-----------------
(2aa) Thomas and Margriet (Decker) Quick's son Thomas Quick was born in 1734, and died abt. 1795 or 1796. Thomas Quick was called the "Indian Slayer", having murdered 99 people, all Native Americans, including women, young children, and whole families, using revenge as his excuse. James E. Quinlan wrote, "...We have seen and conversed with several aged men who were acquainted with him...They describe him as having been six feet in height; and taken altogether, rather a raw-boned man; his cheek bones were high; his eyes gray and restless; his hair, before it had been silvered by age, was of a dark brown. He was not in the habit of talking very much-in fact, was taciturn and very quiet in his demeanor. His features were grave and dignified, and seldom relaxed into a smile. He was quite temperate, and seldom drank alcoholic liquors, except cider, of which, like all of Holland blood, he was very fond. Tom was taken sick, and was never afterwards able to go from the house of Rosenkrantz, where he died of old age in the year 1795 or 1796. He was buried on the farm of Rosenkrantz. Notwithstanding the assertion that Tom had a beautiful daughter who bore the pretty name of "Omoa," the Indian Slayer was never blessed with wife or child."
The legend goes that in 1756 while Thomas Quick and one of his sons and his son-in-law were working by the river, farming or cutting wood for their mill, they were attacked by Indians from a nearby woods. The Quicks, having no weapons, ran for their lives for the house. The elder Quick was heavy and old (about 66 years old). His sons grabbed him by the arms and tried to hurry him along. He begged the boys to abandon him and flee. One of the sons was wounded by a bullet. The boys at last had to leave their father. The boys escaped by crossing the frozen Delaware River into New Jersey. But they were able to see the Indians kill and scalp the elder Quick and cut a pair of silver buckles from his trousers. One of his sons, Tom Quick, pledged he would revenge the death of his father. He was about 22 years old at the time.
August 28, 1989, the small town of Milford, PA, the seat of Pike County government, erected a monument to honor Tom Quick, the legendary 'Indian Slayer'. This memorial stood along the streets of Milford for over 108 years, until its panels were vandalized in December 1997. Insurance proceeds were designated to pay for the monument's repair, but a successful protest led by Native Americans both near and far kept it from being re-erected. However, this past September, the Milford Borough Council voted unanimously for its restoration and planned its rededication for this coming spring. The Tom Quick monument was originally donated by and "the inscriptions�were made under the direction of Hon. Wm. Bross, of Chicago," (Milford Dispatch, 9/5/1889) a descendant of the father. "And to the efforts of one man, principally, was the success due. Rev. A.S. Gardiner worked persistently and indefatigably, against public sentiment, it may be said, to erect a monument to 'Tom Quick, the Indian Slayer,' and he has succeeded." (Milford Dispatch, 8/29/1889)
