Research Notes:
"During the American Revolution, John Quicksall, Jr. (1741-1783), Quaker of Burlington, organized, at the dismay of his father and financed at his own expense, 100 men to fight in the war. Being elected as Captain by his men, Capt. John Quicksall Jr. received his commission on August 26, 1775, and his organized company was incorporated into the First Regiment of Burlington County Volunteers. Capt. Quicksall served gallantly under Gen. George Washington and at the close of the war, was honourably mustered out. ... Capt. John Quicksall, Jr.'s health suffered. ... His death occurred on October 10, 1783, and his pregnant wife who had been left with four young children also died shortly afterwards, apparently in childbirth or complications of childbirth. The Captain's heavy war debt was cleared by his proud and honorable father according to his father's will. John Quicksall, Sr.'s will dated October 30, 1783, mentioned his widowed daughter-in-law and her four children, but then a codicil was added March 22, 1784, probably because of the daughter-in-law's sudden death, "Land in Nottingham near Assanjunk to pay debts of son John, deceased."
