ìÝ Around 1811, Ann Barbara, John Quickelís 6th child, born in 1792, had an affair with an English still operator named Martin Duhling.Ý After learning of Ann Barbaraís pregnancy, Martin conveniently left town for Ohio, leaving Ann Barbara with an illegitimate boy whom she named Martin Duhling, Jr.Ý This goes far beyond cultural tension, and no doubt would have influenced most German-American fatherís opinions of the non-German speaking males of America. ì41
ì If it (Martinís illegitimate birth)  affected John (Martinís grandfather Quickel) , he hardly let it show, unless it was the very cause of his increasingly elaborate tulip designs.Ý In the Quickel history, David Quickel reports that Ann Barbara was disowned by the family, and indeed her name does not appear in JohnísÝ will.Ý But she and Martin, Jr. lived with John until 1831, and of all of the grandchildren it is Martin, Jr. who walks in his grandfatherís footsteps in both longevity and assumption of numerous community-oriented roles.Martin Duhling, Jr., a Quickel at heart, teaches school for 32 terms, makes pottery for 20 years, is a Justice of the Peace for 42 years, a Postmaster for 6, and aids in forming the York County Teacherís Institute in 1854.Ý For an illegitimate grandson, he certainly wasnít an outlet for any tension that his situation may have created. ì41

Georgeís father is responsable for many of the beautiful graves of Quickelís church, and Barry Rauhauser informs, ìmany of the stones still continue through the 1820ís just as they always had, at least until 1831 when John Quickel, Esq. passes away.Ý Johnís son, George, and another man, Henry Rodes, take up John Quickelís chisels for a time, carving similar but simpler designs while still using fraktur lettering.Ý The two menís stones are nearly indistinguishable from Johnís, save for the centering of the dates and the absence of the heart and tulip motif.Ý By the mid-1840ís (George dies in 1845), nearly all the elements of German design are gone from the stones, including the language, the fraktur and the folk-art motifs. ì41

This work bases research on notes by John Bentz Hamme in title, found in text under same[born 1862] where  it is said ì To him we are indebted for this long and interesting family history.î
Please note many comments through text indicate this research was done in about 1944 so, as approaches later generations, could indicate contact with then living progeny and relatives of those detailed in the text. In addition the original information shows living status for several entries born as late as the 1870s.
