• Notes

  HHFO: D0104William HENDRICKSON 1991: 5 1963: 5 William's birthdate, as stated by himself in his Revolutionary War Pension file, conficts with the apparent christening date shown in the Middletown Church records. It is assumed that he stated his birthdate correctly and that since there is no actual date next to his christening record that it was before 26 Feb 1758. William appears to be the only son of Henry HENDRICKS who retained the HENDRICKSON spelling of the surname throughout his lifetime and whose descendants perpetuated it. He died before 20 June 1838, when the last notation appears in his pension record. In July 1776 at Fredericktown, Frederick, MD, where he was a resident, he entered into Revolutionary War Service for five months as a private soldier. His corps was named the Maryland Flying Camp, with which he marched and fought at various locations in Maryland, Delaware, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. He was honorably discharged at Philadelphia about Christmas time 1776. He again entered the service as a corporal in the Maryland Militia in August 1777 at Fredericktown, where he was still a resident. He turned out for a draft, but when he was not drafted, he volunteered for a term of 10 weeks. He fought in several battles in Maryland and Pennsylvania after which he was discharged in Fredericktown 10 weeks later. The Evangelical Church of Frederick records William's marriage to Charlotte Hinkle 6 Jan 1778. Witnesses were Joram Bloomer, Robert Sapp, David Davis and Elizabeth Hinckle. The couple lived in the Fredericktown area for at least another two years as attested to by the births of their first two children there. Some time in 1780/1781 the family migrated west to Ft. Cumberland, Allegany, MD, where they resided for 20 years. Early in the new century William and Charlotte turned their faces west. They migrated first to Indian Wheeling Creek (now Ohio State) then spent a short time at Danville, Knox, Ohio before moving to the final stop, Richland County, Ohio. There has been some misunderstanding about William's wife Charlotte. Deeds in Maryland show her as Charlotte, but later deeds executed from Ohio list William's wife as Keziah. This has been interpreted to mean William had a second wife. However, further investigation produces even later deeds, in which his wife is again listed as Charlotte. The most likely explanation is that Charlotte's middle name (or nickname) was Keziah.

Some time after the battle he was removed to what was then called the Tuckahoo Heights. From there he was marched to the White Plains. There crossed the River, and marched down the west side to Fort Lee and Fort Constitution and was there when Fort Washington was taken. From there he went to Brunswick in New Jersey and from there to Princetown retreating before the British. He had entered the service for the term of five months which term expired when the Army was about 3 miles from Brunswick, but at the request of the Captain the company kept in order until they arrived at Philadelphia where he was dismissed having fully and faithfully served out his term of five months and some few days over. He does not recollect the exact day he was discharged but knows it was about Christmas.

After the Battle he was marched to Lancaster, then to Little York, Pa. then to Fredericktown where he was discharged but does not recollect that it was in writing if it was he long since lost it. He does not recollect the date of his discharge but knows it was in cold weather and that he served ten weeks fully and faithfully. He turned out on a draft but was not drafted. The officers called for volunteers and he and others turned out in sufficient numbers to make up to quota called for in the corps to which he then belonged.He was born in New Jersey in a little town about 30 miles from New York called Middletown Point in the year 1757.
