The headstone of Benjamin Quick

In the 1950's Elmer Lockwood recorded the inscriptions from all the headstones in this family burial plot.  At that time the headstone of Benjamin Quick was located with the rest of the headstones.  I believe a attempt to carry this headstone away was made, and then the person/persons decided to leave it behind.  This headstone is up the trail leaning against a tree, but very close to the trail, where all the other headstones are down the hill and back away from the Fingerlakes trail. 

All headstones in this plot were removed from the ground.  None are broken, it is clear they were placed up against trees.  All footstones are clearly in the original place. 
This cemetery is off Brearley Hill Road, down the path of the abandoned road.   At the top of the road and a very short distance away is the burial ground of the Brearley family.  A short distance down the hill on this trail,  and just before going up another hill, there is a stream, about 50 feet or so before the stream is a path made of stone, going up the side hill on the right, the family burial ground of this Carl family is there about 50 feet from the road.  The house foundation can also be found about 100 feet from the burial plot going back toward Brearley Hill.  This house was located on a 1853 map where the foundation is, but not showing on the 1866 map.  One would believe that maybe the house burnt sometime between 1853-1866, or was taken down.  The Brearley's lived next door. (per these maps)

Benjamin QUICK,
born November 21st 1794 in Ulster Co., NY, son of Jacobus T. Ouick and Sarah Osterhout
Benjamin married 1st __________? (I believe this wife was a daughter of Wm. Carl)
They had a child, Ira C. Quick born 1820; ( I believe the C. is for Carl, named after his mother's maiden name?)
Benjamin Quick married 2nd Rebecca Hardy who was born 1798, they had a child Benjamin Henry Quick, born January 2nd 1827, he was born just a few months after his father's died.  Benjamin's headstone is lying up against a tree.  Headstone is in an area where the old homestead of Wm Carl was, many flowers growing in the spring, with a stone foundation near.  On an old map (1853) the home of William Carl was the location of where this cemetery is.
 

Note:   Central Chapel Cemetery, Town of Caroline has the following burial, I believe this to be the same person, with the inscription being hard to read, the age is off by two years.
QUICK,  Benjamin, d. Nov. 14, 1826 ae 34y 7d
