Hendrick Hendrickson, the father of these three children, served as one of our county judges many years, and part of the time was presiding judge of the Monmouth courts: see Nos. 7, 8 and 9 of court minutes of Monmouth county. Denise Denise, Garret I. Covenhoven, John Covenhoven, Peter Schenck and Peter Wyckoff were associate judges with him part of this time. As a judge he was fair and impartial, with strong common sense. In addition to lands he inherited from his father, he got 200 acres under will of his brother Daniel. He also purchased of John Covenhoven 130 acres, and some years later 150 acres more, adjacent to his farm in Pleasant Valley. He also bought 37 acres of adjacent land from Garret Schenck, and so became the owner of some 600 acres of as good land as there was in Pleasant Valley. As his sons died childless, this large and valuable farm passed out of the Hendrickson name under his will dated July 12, 1811, proved November 28, 1811, recorded at Freehold in Book A of Wills, page 457, etc. He devised all his real estate to his grandson, John Longstreet, subject to the comfortable maintenance of his widow for life. This devise passed into the Longstreet family one of the finest and most productive farms in Pleasant Valley. He gives to his daughter, Williampe Pitney, interest on £342, then in hands Of Aaron Pitney. He gives Anne Seabrook and Lydia Smock £600 each. To his grandson, Hendrick Longstreet, £5, to Aaron Schenck, son of Obadiah Schenck and Nelly Longstreet, £500. Hendrick Longstreet, his grandson, and friend Denise Hendrickson, are appointed executors.
