Notes - "Teuntje, the second child of Daniel Hendrickson, was an earnest and active member of the Dutch church, while her husband, Jonathan Holmes, like all his family, was a zealous believer in the tenets of the Baptist faith. The baptism by immersion was one of their most important doctrines. Neither did they believe in infant baptism. Teuntje Hendrickson must have been a woman of great resolution, for she had her children baptized in the Dutch church and taught the Heidelberg catechism. Her children are the only Holmeses whose names appear on the old records of the Monmouth Dutch church. There must have been much talk and holding up of hands in amazement among the good brethren of the Baptist faith, that these descendants of the sturdy Rev. Obadiah Holmes should be sprinkled and not immersed. There must have been many earnest appeals made to their father against this woeful departure from the true faith. The only reply Jonathan Holmes, Jr., could make, I suppose, was "When a woman will, she will, and when she won't, she won't." Teuntje, however, was never able to bring her husband clear over, as Margaret Wyckoff had done with Jonathan Forman, but she turned her "Holmes" children into good "Dutchmen." The records of our Dutch church show that Jonathan Holmes and Teuntje Hendrickson, his wife, had the following children baptized: Obadiah, bapt. Oct. 28, 1716, died unmarried in 1752. The records in the office of the Secretary of State show that letters of administration on his estate was granted to his brother, Joseph Holmes, Jr., Oct. 17, 1752, Book B of Wills, p. 69. Daniel, bapt. April 9, 1721, m. 1752, Leah, (b. 1736, d. March 15, 1813) daughter of James Bowne and Margaret Newbold, his wife. Both are buried in yard of Hoimdel Baptist church. Jonathan, bapt. July 19, 1722, married Sarah Potter in 1758, and was a merchant in New York city in 1752. He may have been the "Jonathan Holmes" called "Minor." Joseph, b. ____, m. June. 1752, Sarah, daugh- ter of James Mott and Mary Holmes, his wife, and was engaged with James Mott, Jr., in mercantile business in New York city. He died in 1763. James Mott and James Mott, Jr., appointed administrator of Joseph Holmes, Sept. 22, 1763, Book H of Wills, p. 293, Secretary of State's office. John, b. ____; m. 1764, Catharine Brown, was associated with his brother Jonathan in business in New York city in 1752. In 1763 he resided at and operated a grist mill at Forked River in what is now Ocean county, but then part of Monmouth. During the Revolutionary war his dwelling was plundered by a party of refugees. He left three sons who married and had numerous descendants. Many of these followed the water and were captains of vessels in coasting trade. Alice, bapt. March 30, 1730; m. 1749, John VanBrakle. d. May 19, 1796. Catharine, b. May 11, 1731; d. May 12, 1796, aged 63 years, 1 day, according to the inscription on her headstone in Schenck-Couwenhoven yard, where she is buried by her first husband, Hendrick Schenck. She left a will, recorded at Trenton, N. J. She married first in 1749, Hendrick, son of Roelof Schenck and Ueesey Hendrickson, his wife, who died August 24, 1766. She married secnd, John, son of Garret Schenck and Neeltje Voorhees, his wife. She was his third wife. He died Feb. 13, 1775, on his wife's farm near what is now Bradevelt station, and was buried by his father and mother in Schenck-Couwenhoven yard. There were no children by the last marriage. Mary. James, bapt. Jacobus, May 1, 1737. Samuel, bapt. July 8, 1739. William, b. ____ , died in 1776. Letters of administration in his estate were granted to his brother, Daniel Holmes, Feb. 2S, 1776. See Book M of Wills, p. 29, Secretary of State's office, Trenton. Catharine Holmes, the seventh child of Jonathan Holmes, Jr., and Teuntje Hendrickson, his wife above mentioned, by her first husband, Hendrick Schenck, had seven children, of whom five lived to grow up, viz: one son, Ruliff, and four daughters, Mary, Eleanor, Catharine and Ann. Her youngest child, Ann, was born on her farm near what is now Bradevelt station, June 14, 1766, and married Jonathan Holmes, son of Samuel Holmes, and Mary Stout, his wife. Samuel Holmes (b. Oct. 4, 1726; d. Aug. 26, 1769) was a son of Jonathan Holmes, Sr., by Rebecca Throckmorton, his second wife. They are both buried in old Topanemus grave yard. This Jonathan Holmes, son of Samuel Holmes and Mary Stout, his wife, married Ann Schenck, as above stated, and died without children, Nov. 16, 1814. His will is dated January 6, 1810, proved Nov. 22, 1814, and recorded at Freehold in Book A of Wills, p. 685, etc. He first orders that one-quarter of an acre of land on the farm where his brother, John S. Holmes, then lived, and "where the burying ground now is" shall be a burying- place for the Holmes family. He then gives to his brother, John S. Holmes, the use of all his real estate, and at his death to go to his two sons, Daniel and John, or the survivors of them in fee simple. This is the same farm in Pleasant Valley where ex-Sheriff Daniel Holmes lived, and where his son, the late Joseph H. Holmes, lived and died. The Holmes family still own it. Jonathan Holmes then made the fol- lowing bequests: To his sister Lydia, wife of Garret Stillwell, $250; to the children of his sister Parmelia, wife of John Stillwell, $250: to his brother, Stout Holmes, $375. This brother mar- ried first Elizabeth Pintard, second Mary Ogbourns, widow of Samuel Bray. One of his daughters, Alice, married ex- Judge Joseph Murphy, and was the mother of Holmes W. Murphy, who served two terms as clerk of Monmouth county and represented this county in General Assembly during the years 1880-81. He was associated with the writer as partner in law business for several years. Jonathan Holmes also gives by this will $375 to his sister Catharine, wife of Nathan Stout. To his brother, Samuel Holmes, he gives the interest yearly on $3,750 for life, and at his death to his son, Jonathan, if living. If dead, then $750 of principal to Samuel's two daughters, Mary and Catharine, and the remaining $3,000 to Daniel and John, sons of his brother, John S. Holmes. To Jonathan, son of his brother, Joseph Holmes, $500, and to Nelly, daughter of his brother Joseph, $125. To Joseph, son of David Crawford, $62.50, and to Joseph Covert, son of Daniel Covert, $62.50. To Jonathan Holmes, son of his brother Samuel, his clock, sideboard, silver tankard, best horse he has, his fusee and implements belonging to it. Orders all legacies paid in gold or silver. Directs Daniel and John, the two nephews to whom he gives all his real estate, not to sell it, but keep same in Holmes family forever. John S. Holmes named in this will married Sarah, daughter of Col. Daniel Hendrickson who commanded the Third Regiment of Monmouth militia during the Revolution, and was speaker of General Assembly of New Jersey in 1784. John S. Holmes also represented Monmouth county in General Assembly during years 1810-11 and 1813-14. His son Daniel married Rhoda VanMater, as has been mentioned in VanMater records. This Daniel Holmes was a mem- ber of the constitutional convention of 1844. The following paper has the genuine signatures of John S. Holmes, Col. Asher Holmes, and others who have been mentioned in these articles. It also shows that they appreciated education and good schools and made an effort to have an academy or high school established in Holmdel: "On condition that the acre of ground, this day sold by Obadiah Holmes unto us the undersubscribers, for erecting an academy; that if it should fail of success, then if its ever convenient to any other use, we engage to pay said Obadiah Holmes or his lawful representatives, the further sum of fifty pounds for said lot. This we engage in case that either us or our heirs shall convert it to any other purpose. Witness our hands this twenty-fourth day of December, seventeen hundred and ninety- three.
