  [S65] New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, John Van Dyke of New Utrecht L.I. Vol. 37 p.116. This son Simon about 1740 married Catharine, a daughter of Roelef Schenck and Geesie Hendrickson his wife, of Monmouth County, N.J. His wife's mother was eldest daughter of Daniel Hendrickson and Catherine Van Dyke his wife, mentioned in John Van Dyke's will aforesaid. Simon De Hart's mother was therefore a sister to his wife's grandmother. This son however did not long survive his father. His will is dated March 5, 1747, proved May 9, of same year and recorded in Liber 16 of Wills, p. 99, Surrogate's office in New York. It is also published in same volume of the Collections of the New York Historical Society as his father's will on p. 116. He states his residence in "Brookland," Kings County, and "that he is very sick." He leaves all his estate to his wife "Coty" as he calls her for the maintenance of herself and his children so long as she remains his widow. After her death or marriage all his estate is to be divided into three parts, between his wife and his son Simon and daughter Geesie, except one silver tankard which he gives to his son Simon. After his son Simon is of age he is to have all the real estate and pay three hundred puonds to his wife and daughter. He appoints his father-in-law Roelef Schenck and his brother-in-laws Peter Cortelyou and Johannes Bergen executors. This Roelef Schenck who is named as one of the executors was the eldest son of John Schenck and Sarah Couwenhoven his wife, who had removed from Kings County, Long Island about 1694, and settled in what is now know as Pleasant Valley, Holmdel Township, Monmouth County, NJ. A full account of John Schenck and his children is given on p. 4. of Early Dutch Settlers of Monmouth County.
