Dear Sir. I am informed that one Moses Quick of the First New Jersey Regiment of the Revolutionary War received land grant No. 8665 from the United States Government.
I am trying to locate the place or county where this land is that I may get a little history of the Quick's. This Moses Quick is my grand father's grand father. I want to know where he died & where buried and I presume he lived on this land up to the time of his death. There undoubtedly his wife's name will occur in the deed.
The Daughters of the Revolution ask me for four facts. Namely.
I. Where did Moses Quick die? Date of birth - death - and marriage?
II. Who was the wife of Moses Quick? Date of birth - death & marriage?
(over)

Where did Moses Duck reside when he entered the Revolutionary War.?
If any of these questions can be answered from the documents in your office, I shall certainly appreciate the information and be very grateful to you.
I have been searching for over a year now & my application has been accepted by the local D.A.R. here in Tacoma.
Thanking you in advance for the favor I remain
Yours truly
Elena H. Minner.
