Notes - "Jannetje, (Jane) the tenth child and youngest of the seven daughters of Daniel Hendrickson. was born and brought up on the homestead at Holmdel. She married Ruliph, (born March 1, 1712) a son of Jacob Couwenhoven and Saartje Schenck, his wife, their nearest neighbors. She had known him from her earliest recollections. They had played and romped together, sung Dutch nursery songs and followed the customs and usages which prevailed at that time among their own people. The same characteristics, manners and usages marked them as those described by Miss Gertrude Lefferts Vanderbilt in her book called "The Social History of Flatbush and the Manners and Customs of the Dutch in Kings County, L. I." They were the children of these Long Island people and were like them in all respects, for the "Dutch were not given to change but were stable in all their ways." It was not until the Revolutionary war tore up the foundations of society and government, that there was any great change in families and classes. Up to this time the Dutch language was generally used in family intercourse or the home life. Theree are a few persons now living, born and brought up in Pleasant Valley, Holmdel township, who can remember when children, of hearing and singing the words of the following Dutch nursery song which Miss Vanderbilt has published in her book:
Trip, a trop, a tronjes,
De Varkens in de boonjes,
De Koejes in de Klaver.
De paarden in de haver,
De eenjes in de waterplass.
So groot myn Kleine Claus-was."
These lullabies and a few words like "stoep," "Mickey," "paas," "skipper" and "baas" (boss) are the last lingering echoes of the mother tongue once spoken by those old settlers in Monmouth who came from Kings county on Long Island. There is a wide difference in the spirit and sentiment expressed in these lullabies of the Dutch, from those of the English, or Mother Goose melodies' as called. The former represented people and animals comfortable and contented, pleasant associations and memories, and cheerful and sunny prospects. Or they inculcated some lesson of industry, economy, faithfulness or other everyday virtue. Their saint Santa Claus was jolly and benevolent, always doing generous and kindly acts. But childhood and youthful days soon pass. On the 12th of August A. D. 1741, Jannetje Hendrickson married Ruliph Couwenhoven. Their marriage license is published in full on page 34 of Wells' Memorial Address at Brick Church. It was signed by Lewis Morris so prominent in the early history of Monmouth county, but at that time Governor of New Jersey. These licenses are all recorded in secretary of state's office at Trenton and in annexed note is a list from the records of all licenses issued to the Hendricksons and Hendricks in Monmouth county, between 1748 and 1772. Jannetje and Ruliph Couwenhoven her husband, had three children, viz: Sarah, bapt. August 12, 1742, married in 1763 Benjamin (baptized October 10, 1742) son of Benjamin VanCleaf and Helina or Neeltje Couwenhoven, his wife. Daniel, baptized January 15, 1744. No other knowledge. Catrina, baptized Feb. 16, 1746, married February 28, 1765, David (baptized September 25, 1748) son of Tunis Vanderveer and Aeltje Garretse Schenek, his wife. This couple had a son Tunis, who married December 12, 1792, Margaret, a daughter of Rev. Benjamin DuBois. Ruliph Couwenhoven died intestate in 1746. Letters of ministration on his estate were granted same year to his brother, Peter Couvenhoven, and his brothers-in-law, William Hendrickson and Tunis Denise. Jannetje, however, did not remain a widow long, for the next year, 1747, she married Peter, a son of Jan Schanck and Saartje Couwenhoven of Pleasant Valley. He had lost his first wife, Jannetje VanNostrand or Ostrandt and was ready for another. By Peter Schenck she had following children: Roelef P., known as "Long Ruly" born December 27, 1748, baptized January 22, 1749, married Elizabeth Gordon (born December 8, 1757, died August 15, 1837) and died November 26, 1814. Both buried in Tennent church yard. Jannetje, born June 1, bapt. July 28, 1751 ; married December 5, 1769, John Walter (born June 11, 1730, died October 11, 1775, according to his headstone in Schenck-Couwenhoven cemetery) and died January 5, 1774. A son of this couple named John Walter, is buried by them in above yard and his headstone gives date of his death October 13, 1837, aged 66 years and 11 months. Antje, baptized September 30, 1753, married Garret Janse Couwenhoven. She was his second wife and died April 5, 1803, according to her headstone in yard of Marlboro BrickChurch. Her children have been already named in Conover genealogy. Leah, baptized November 9, 1755, married November 30, 1775, John, (baptized August 26, 1750) son of Benjamin VanCleaf and Neeltje or Helena Couwenhoven, his wife. Francyntje, baptized March 7, 1762, married February 5, 1803, William Nicolas. Neeltje, baptized June 17, 1759. No other record."
