Smith Quick was the youngest child of Elijah Quick and Sarah Reynolds. Elijah was the son of John Quick and Margaret Pedrick, and Sarah was the daughter of Titus Reynolds and Sarah Husted. Smith's parents were married in North Salem, Westchester, New York, where Smith Quick and his elder siblings were born; but not long after Smith's birth the family moved West, traveling some distance down the Allegheny and Ohio River on a flat boat built by his father. Smith's mother Sarah died sometime around or before 1824, after which Elijah would marry the widow Naomi (Gookins) Hosford. The Quick's did well where they settled in Indiana, and it was in Dearborn County, Indiana on December 20, 1838 that Smith married the love of his life Mahalah Tryon and started building a family of his own over in Montgomery County. However, in the 1850s, Smith and Mahalah picked up and moved on to Bement Township in Piatt County, Illinois, where he farmed; and like the Quick's before him - prospered. Two of his son's, Isaiah and Elsberry, served their country in the Union Army during the Civil War, and two of his son's, Elsberry and Jasper, like their forbearers, became pioneers themselves and helped to settle the Oklahoma Territory.
