She died September 20, 1747, and was buried in Schenck- Couwenhoven cemetery. Her headstone is still in a state of good preservation, and gives her age 50 yrs, 11 mos, 11 d. Her husband is buried by her, and his age given as 73 yrs., 10 mos., 28 days. Roelef Schenck became a communicant in the Dutch church of Monmouth county in 1715, and his wife 32 years later or in 1747. Her brother, Daniel Hendrickson, and his wife, Catrina Couwenhoven, and her sister Jannetje, then the widow of Roelef Couwenhoven, joined the church at the same time. See page 87 of Wells' address at Brick church. Six of Daniel Hendrickson's daughters became members of this church, or all except Catharine. Geeyse Hendrickson and Roelef Schenck, her husband, had the following children: Sarah, b. May 22, 1715; m. Dec. 1, 1734, Joseph VanMater, (b. Feb. 5, 1710, d.

Dec. 21, 1718; m. first, Simon DeHart; second, Peter, son of Jacob Couwenhoven and Sarah Schenck, his wife. The marriage license of last couple is recorded in office of the secretary of state at Trenton. It was granted July 27, 1749. The names of her six children by these two husbands appear on page 310 of "Old Times in Old Monmouth." Jan, b. January 22, 1720; m.

His wife is not buried by him. She may have married a second husband. Daniel, bap. May 26, 1723; d. Sept. 20, 1747. Neeltje (Eleanor), b. Sept. 10, 1724; m. Oct. 12, 1744.
