From the research of Bob Davis -- obtained April 4, 2003 John Hendrickson is reckoned to be among a large number of Dutch families who left New Jersey abt. 1750 to form a new comunity in Rowan County, North Carolina later to be known as the "Jersey Settlement". The area lies near the Yadkin River opposite Salisbury. Early families came there from Hunterton County and other New Jersey areas where scores of lawfully acquired land holdings of early settlers were invalidated by the courts of the British Crown. The history of this historic land manipulation which prompted the migration to Rowan County, North Carolina by early Dutch, Quaker, and Presbyterian families is well outlined by Ethel Stroup in "First Families of Jersey Settlement". John Hendrickson appears there as a witness in the Rowan County commnity in 1786.

A John Hendrickson is listed as a witness on the 1786 Rowan Co., NC will of Rev. Robert Barkley/Barclay who resided in the "New Jersey Settlement" of Rowan Co. NC as well as in the Hopewell Twp., of Hunterdon Co., NJ. Since John Gysbertse Hendrickson married into the Judge Joseph Cox family, who also resided in the New Jersey Settlement, it is thought that he was this John Hendrickson. However an older John Hendrickson is listed as part of the early settlers of Hopewell Twp., in a 1733 lawsuit against Col. Daniel Cox. Due to Col. Cox's high social standing John Hendrickson and his fellow land owners lost the suit and were ordered by the courts to repay for their Hopewell lands or "Quit" their residing there. Most families either migrated west or were forced to pay rent. Some of these Hopewell residents eventually settled on the Yadkin River in Rowan Co., NC just across from the settlement of Salisbury in what is know as the "New Jersey Settlement". If John Gysbertse Hendrickson did reside there it was not for long as he is not listed as living there on the 1790 or later census records. [S39] Findagrave.com, (www.findagrave.com).
