1670 William Quicksall, son of Henry Quicksall, was baptized on October 23, at Dronfield Parish, Derbyshire, England. [1] [2] [3] We speculate that William Quicksall of Derbyshire, was the immigrant to New Jersey, whose notes are below, based on coincidence of name and time and on William Quicksall's use of Bolsover as a plantation name in New Jersey. We seek further evidence to support or refute this hypothesis.

Research Notes:
Two books name John Quicksall as a brother of William Quicksall. Both books make errors by naming John Quicksall in deeds which actually name William Quicksall (we have seen only abstracts of those deeds, which name William. We have not seen the original deeds.). We have not yet found evidence that William Quicksall had a brother. "Two brothers, John and William Quicksall, linen-weavers, emigrated from England to New Jersey at an early date." [68] [69] [70] We seek evidence about John Quicksall, brother of William.
1666 "Surrender by Mary Quicksall of Whittington, widow, of the cottage in Mosborough in which William Burhouse sen. lived with a garden pertaining thereto and containing 1 rood lying between lands of Michael Burton, gent., east, west, and north, and the highway, south then in the tenure of the said William Burhouse sen., to the use of William Whicksall of Sheffield, [Yorkshire], his heirs and assigns." Dated February 8 [18 Charles II]. [71] Eckington is a parish in northeast Derbyshire. Recorded in the Domesday Book as Eckintune, the ancient parish and Manor includes Mosborough, Bramley, Plumbley, Renishaw, Spinkhill and Troway. Many of the records of the Manor Court have survived from the mid-14C onwards and are mostly in the possession of of the descendants of the last Lords of the Manor. Bolsover is a parish in Derbyshire.
1614 John Quicksall evaluated the estate of Roger Lee, late of Sheffield, England. [72] [73]
1678 William Quicksall was overseer of the poor in Sheffield, England. [74]
1609 John Quicksall was constable of Sheffield, England. [75]
1609 "We amercy John Quicksawe for not rynginge of his swine." Sheffield. [76]
1651 William Quicksall was baptized to John Quicksall in Limber Magna, Lincolnshire, England. [77]
Mary Church has been named as William's wife, perhaps through confusion with the wife of son Joshua Quicksall.
The role of Harmanus King in William's will suggests a relationship to that family.
"the parents of William Quicksall (known as William of Boulones) who settled in Crosswicks New Jersey in the 1680s … The former family apparently had owned land in Nottingham County, England, and the father of John P. Quicksall sold it to pay his son's war debt from the American Revolution." [Genforum response by Larry Quicksall]
William and Mary Quicksell were named as the parents of William Quicksell. [78]
