The Mick family originally came from Ireland. There were supposedly five brothers who came to this country from Ireland in the 18th century:

Borick Mick
William Mick

Michael Mick

Michael Mick was married to Mary Moore, daughter of John Moore of Burlington County. They were married on 4 Dec 1783. Michael is recorded as one of the workers in the Martha Furnace Diary. Michael of Martha Furnace was the father of:
Michael Mick, jr. He married Delia (Delilah?) DeVinney about 1802 somewhere in Burlington County, NJ. She died at the Weymouth Furnace in the month of December. Michael Sr. is recorded in the Martha Furnace Diary. He is one of the workers. Descendants of Michael Mick, Jr. According to Martha: The Complete Furnace Diary and Journal 1808-1815 (by Henry H. Bisbee et al.) it says:

Sep 29, 1810:"Delilah Mick Delivered of a Son, who is to be called Joseph. It is also represented that Michael was put to bed through the effects of too mus Tiff."
December 07, 1814: "Delila Mick was put to bed this Evening and lo, conceived, and brought forth a fine Son."
December 08, 1814: "Patrick Hamiltons team moving Michael Micks Mother in Law up from Tuckerton."

The same source also tells us that on 10 Apr 1810 his house at Martha Furnace burned down, and he moved to Weymouth in July of 1813. In 1814, his wife died and was buried at Batsto.
