  Geesye, b. Oct. 9, 1696, at Flatbush, L. I.; m. 1714, Roelef, eldest son of Jan Schenck and Saartje Couwenhoven, his wife, of Pleasant Valley, in what is now Holmdel township. 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. Oct. 15, 1792) and died Sept. 1, 1748, aged 33 y, 3 mos, 9 days, according to inscription on her headstone in family burying-ground on old VanMater homestead in Atlantic township. The names of her children have heretofore been published in genealogy of the VanMater family. Katrinje, bap. March 19, 1717; died young. Kalrya, (Catharine) bap. 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. Nov. 26, 1741, Jaconmyntje, daughter of Cornelius Couwenhoven and Margaretta Schenck, his wife, of Pleasant Valley; died June 27, 1749, aged 29 y, 5 mos, 5 days, according to his headstone in Schenck-Couwenhoven cemetery. 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. Garret, son of Jacob Couwenhoven and Saartje Schanck, his wife, (b. Nov. 5, 1716, d. Dec. 9, 1797), and died Nov. 25, 1800. She is buried by her husband on Conover homestead near Taylor's mills, Atlantic township. The names of her children have been heretofore given in the Couwenhoven genealogy. Hendrick, b. July 29, 1731, married his cousin Catharine, daughter of Jonathan Holmes, Jr., and Teuntje Hen- drickson his wife. Their marriage license was granted Feb. 28, 1749. He died on his farm near Brick church, Marlboro township, August 24, 1766, aged 35 yrs, 25 days, according to his headstone in Schenck-Couwenhoven yard. He left one son Rulef, and four daughters surviving. A strange coincidence attends Hendrick's will and his father's will. They have same subscribing witnesses, were proved same year, and are both recorded in Book I of Wills at Trenton, N. J. Engeltje, bap. April 28, 1732. died young.
