Daniel, the eleventh and youngest child of the first Daniel, was born, lived, died and was buried on the home- stead at Holland in the present town- ship of Holmdel, which was devised to him by his father. He was born Jan- uary 5, baptized May 5, 1723, married December 22, 1743, Catherine (born June 2, 1720, died May 5, 1810,) the youngest child of Cornelius Couwen- hoven and Margaretta Schenck his wife, and died intestate June 24, 1788. The records in our secretary of state's office show that letters of administ;ration on his estate were granted to his widow, July 31, 1788.
The headstones at their graves in the family burying ground on the old homestead, give their names, dates of death and respective ages. Their son Hendrick, grandson William H. and great-grandson, the late Hon. William Henry Hendrickson, who all lived and died on this farm, are interred in this same burying ground.
Daniel Hendrickson and his wife Catherine, with his eldest sister Geesye, and youngest sister Jannetje, joined the Dutch church of Monmouth to- gether in 1747. From this time to his death Daniel Hendrickson was very zealous and active in church work. In his own home he conducted regularly family worship by reading the Serip- tures and prayer, and When requested, at the houses of his neighbors. Some- times when the regular minister was absent or sick he would conduct the services on Sunday from the pulpit. It is said that he could preach almost as good a sermon as the pastor himself. A sermon written by him and printed in the Dutch language was in the pos- session of the late Rev. Garret C. Schenck, whose first wife was his great- granddaughter. The Dutch settlers of Monmouth while not demonstrative. theatrical, or noisy in their religion or worship were nevertheless firm and practical believers in an everyday Prov- idence.
"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding," was a real conviction in their minds. Daniel Hendrickson . voiced these convictions and sentiments so often, that he became known as "Dominie Dan'll Hendrickson" and was called "Dominie" to the day of his death. Those of his numerous des- cendants who have followed in his foot- steps and who have lived and died on this fertile farm with its healthful sur- roundings, and beautiful scenery, and enjoyed the good will of their neigh- bors have good reason to say as "Dom- inie Daniel" did in his day:
"Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it; except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain."
"They that trust in the Lord, shall be as Mount Zion, which cannot be re- moved but abideth forever."
"The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night."
"The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil, He shall preserve thy soul."
"The Lord shall preserve thy going out, and thy coming in from this time forth and even forever more."
Daniel Hendrickson by Catherine Couwenhoven his wife, had following children :
Daniel D., born October 29, baptized December 9, 1744; married Elizabeth (born June 21, 1763, died July 30, 1836.) a daughter of Daniel Stephenson or Stevenson, who owned the farm which lay adjacent to the Hendrickson home- stead at Holland on the north, and
144

being the same farm the late Hon. William B. Hendrickson lived and died on. Through this marriage he acquired the Stevenson farm for in the division of the real estate of his father no share was allotted to him. He probably had all the land he wanted and took his share in the personal property of his father. During the Revolutionary war he commanded a troop of light horse- men and rendered good service to the patriotic side. He has sometimes been confounded with his cousin, Colonel Daniel Hendrickson, who commanded the 3rd Regiment of Monmouth militia and resided at Tinton Falls. Like other officers of our militia he suffered great pecuniary loss through the neglect of his private business and devoting his time and means during the seven years' war to the American cause, He died November 23, 1836, and was over ninety- two years of age. He and his wife are buried on the farm where he lived. There are only four graves in this family burying ground which is near the residence of the late Hon. William B. Hendrickson, viz: these two and their son, Daniel D. and his wife, Cath- erine Bedle.
Daniel D. Hendrickson and Elizabeth Stevenson, his wife, had two sons, viz: Daniel D. and William D. The latter married May 8, 1816, Sarah, (born July 12, 1795, died October 15, 1821,) daugh- ter of John P. Luyster and Anne Con- wenhoven, his wife. He died January 14, 1823, aged 30 years, 2 months, 15 days, according to his tombstone in the Luyster family burying ground at Hol- land. His will is recorded at Freehold in B of Wills, p. 316, etc. He left sur- viving two children, both daughters; one of them named Anne Luyster, mar- ried James Madison Burrows, the other Elizabeth Stephenson, married Joel Stout. Daniel D., the other son, was born April 22, 1786, married Catherine, (born September 28, 1787, died January 12, 1859) daughter of Thomas Bedle, and died May 15, 1858, and was buried on the farm where he was born, lived and died. He was a Captain of a com- pany of militia of Monmouth county, which during the war of 1812 was sta- tioned at Sandy Hook, and was gener- ally known or called by the people "Captain Daniel Hendrickson." He was also active in the erection of the Dutch church at Middletown village in 1836.
At the first meeting of those friendly to the erection of a Dutch church in Middletown village, held at the tavern of William Wilson in this village, Feb- ruary 25, 1836, he was appointed chair- man of the committee to select and
purchase a location for the church edifice. He was also on the committee to oversee the work. His will was made August 18, 1851, proved June 24, 1858, and recorded at Freehold in G of Wills, p. 133, etc. He gave the use of all his property to his widow for life and at her death he devised all his lands together with his personal prop- erty and "cider house and distillery" on the farm to his son, William B. Hen- drickson. This devise is subject to payments of certain sums to his eight living daughters and the children of his daughter, Martha Winters, deceased, and children of his son, Daniel B. Hen- drickson, deceased.
Captain Daniel D. Hendrickson by Catherine Bedle, his wife, had three sons and ten daughters. One of the sons and one daughter died young, the. others grew up and married. Only one of this large family is now living, viz: Hen- rietta, who married Daniel, son of James Wilson, who now (1901) owns and occupies the Wilson homestead. Mrs. Henrietta Wilson is still living on this farm adjacent to the one where she was born and raised.
Daniel B., one of Captain Daniel's sons, was married and settled on a farm at Nut Swamp where he died when a young man, leaving one son, Joseph A. Hendrickson, who now (1901) owns and resides on this farm, and is one of the prominent and respected farmers of Middletown township.
William B., to whom the homestead was devised, was born February 10, 1830, married November 24, 1852, Cath- erine, daughter of Joseph S. Applegate, Esq. He represented Monmouth county in the Assembly in 1872-3 and was one of the influential citizens of Middletown township. A sketch of his life and a fair likeness can be seen in Ellis' His- tory of Monmouth county. He died on the farm where he was born and al- ways lived, a few years ago, leaving two children, a son and daughter. Cor- nelins, second son of Daniel Hendrick- son and Catherine Couwenhoven, his wife, was born August 28, baptized Oct- ober 11, 1747, married March 24, 1784, Lydia (baptized November 22, 1761, died October 22, 1822) daughter of Cornelius VanDerbilt and Margaretta Lamberson, his wife,* and died October 10, 1802. He and his wife are buried in family yard on the old Hendrickson homestead at Holland. He served during the Revolu- tion in his brother's, Captain Daniel Hendrickson's troop of light horsemen and also under Colonel Asher Holmes. After his father's death in 1788, his share in real estate was arranged by

deeds, from his sister Catherine and brothers Daniel D. and Hendrick. The principal tract deeded to him lay north of the present Daniel Wilson farm and east of Mahoras brook and extended well down toward Harmony school house.
His son, Daniel C., was born January 11, 1785, married January 12, 1813, to Deborah Tilton, by Rev. Benjamin Ben- nett, and died September 7, 1863. He is buried on the homestead farm at Hol- land. Cornelius also had two daugh- ters, who were both baptized June 15, 1788, viz: first Margaret, who married, May 31, 1809, Daniel Herbert, died April 5, 1883. Daniel Herbert died October 6. 1836, aged 57 years, 3 months, 2 days. Both are buried in yard of Middletown Dutch church. Second Catherine, born January 8, 1788, married Murphy Tilton, died September 24, 1881, and is buried in family yard on homestead.
Daniel C. Hendrickson and Deborah Tilton had a son Cornelius, born April 17, 1814, married Mary, daughter of John G. Taylor and Elizabeth Couwen- hoven, his wife. Also a son, Daniel T .. born in 1822, married Deborah Ann Morris, and died March 26, 1857, aged 35 years, 1 month, 28 days, according to inscription on his headstone in yard of Middletown Dutch church.
The third child and only daughter of Daniel Hendrickson and Catherine Cou- wenhoven, his wife, was Catherine, born August 8, baptized September 30, 1753, and died unmarried on the home- stead where she always lived, March 1st, 1835, aged 81 years, 6 months, 23 days, according to inscription on the headstone at her grave in the home- stead burying ground. Her will record- ed at Freehold in C of Wills, page 459, etc., is very voluminous for she remem- bers with some kind of gift nearly all her nephews and nieces. The fourth child of the second Daniel Hendrickson was Hendrick, born May 2, baptized June 12, 1758, married May 13, 1781, Francinke, (b. Nov. 18, 1763, d. March 26, 1845,) daughter of Cornelius R. Covenhoven and Jane Denise, his wife, who have been mentioned in a former article. Hendrick died December 1, 1840, aged 82 years, 6 months, 29 days, and is buried on the homestead where he always lived. William, the fifth and youngest child of the second Daniel
* Cornelius VanDerbilt was a son of Aris VanDerbilt and Jannetje Cornelise Couwen- hoven, his wife. He died August 18, 1800, aged 69 years, 3 months, 7 days, according to inscription on his tombstone in yard of Middle- town Dutch church.
Hendrickson, was baptized November 22, 1761, and died young and unmar- ried.
As the father of these children died intestate June 24, 1788, the three sur- viving sons and daughter by amicable arrangement among themselves divided the real estate.
In Book K of Deeds, page 56, etc .. Monmouth Clerk's office, we find record of a deed executed August 6, 1789, from Daniel, Cornelius, and Hendrick Hen- drickson, the three sons to their sister, Catherine Hendrickson. It is recited therein that the grantors and grantee are the only children and heirs-at-law of Daniel Hendrickson of Middletown township. who lately died intestate. That they have agreed among them- selves as to shares of each in the real estate of their father and by this deed the three sons convey and quitclaim to their sister Catherine, her heirs and assigns forever, the following described lands and premises, situate in said township of Middletown. The tract first described begins at an apple tree stand- ing at the southeast corner and begin- ning of a line settled by releases be- tween Johannes Luyster and Daniel Hendrickson, dated April 11, 1745. Then follows a particular description by chains and links, and that it is the westermost part of the home tract "whereon said Daniel Hendrickson did live."
Then comes a general description of a tract containing 122 87-100 acres, bounded southerly in part by Luyster's land and in part by a branch of Mahor- as brook and Colonel Daniel Hendrick- son's land; westerly, in part by land formerly John Bowne's * esquire, de-
* John Bowne was the eldest son of Obadiah Bowne and had one son Andrew, and two daughters, Lydia and Catherine. His dangh- ter Catherine, married William, son of George Crawford. His son Andrew, died unmarried. I is will was proved January 13, 1776, and recorded in Book M of Wills, page 10, etc., at Trenton, N. J. He devised all his real estate to John and William Crawford, sons of his sister Catherine, subject to payment of £250 to their sister, Esther Crawford. Residue of his estate is left to John, William, and Esther Crawford, the three children of his sister. Catherine Crawford. William Crawford, Rob- ert Hartshorne, and Garret Wall of Mount Pleasant, were appointed executors; will is witnessed by William Hendrickson, Richard Crawford and Safety Bowne. John and Wil- liam Crawford divided the real estate so left, and John Crawford became owner of the part next to the Hendrickson homestead and which John Bowne had owned in his life time. John Crawford was the father of the late James G. Crawford of Crawford's Corner, Holmder township.

ceased, now John Crawford's and in part by Colonel Daniel Hendrickson's land; northerly, by a brook coming from the hills and Humphrey Wall and John Stillwell's lands, and easterly by the east-most line named in this par- ticular description first given. It is then stated that part of the said land was purchased of John Whitlock by Daniel Hendrickson, the elder, by deed dated May 16, 1698, and the other part by deed from Garret Wall, dated Dec- ember 29, 1709. Four and one half acres of fresh meadow lying on the north side of a neck of woodland and convey- ed by John Wall to Daniel Hendrickson the elder, by deed dated May 8, 1711, and two and two-fifths acres of salt meadow at Shoal Harbour, are also conveyed to Catherine Hendrickson by this deed.
Catherine Hendrickson, however, did not retain this land long, for on April 1st, 1800, by deed of that date and for the consideration of $2,000, she con- veyed all the above premises to her brother, Hendrick Hendrickson. This deed is recorded at Freehold in L of deeds, p. 571, etc., and gave Hendrick the ownership of all the original home- stead owned by the first Daniel and devised by him to his youngest son, Daniel. Hendrick Hendrickson by his will left all these lands to his grandson, the late Hon. William Henry Hendrick- son, so well known to the present gen- eration of our people in Monmouth county.
By deed dated August 26, 1789, rec- orded in same book K of deeds, page 67, etc., Daniel, Cornelius and Catherine Hendrickson convey and quitclaim to Hendrick Hendrickson the eastermost part of the homestead on which their deceased father lived.' In particular description first given the "Southwest corner of a mill dam" and "the middle of the floodgate" are called for as mon- uments. Then follows a general des- cription as 154 acres bounded southerly and easterly by Luyster's land and in part easterly by Mahoras brook; north- erly in part by John Stillwell's line and a small brook coming from the hills, and in part by the lower edge of the upland bank on south side of the mead- ow on said brook; westerly, by the westermost line named in the particular description.
Six and four-fifths acres of salt meadow at Shoal Harbour was also conveyed, and then reference to chain of title same as in above deeds to Cath- erine. These two deeds were witnessed by William Crawford, John Covenhoven and Colonel Asher Holmes and were
proved by affidavits of Colonel Asher Holmes before Hendrick Hendrickson, one of the judges of the Court of Com- mon Pleas of Monmouth county on Feb- ruary 10, 1792.
In this same book K of deeds, page 71, etc, is a record of the deed from Daniel, Hendrick, and Catherine Hen- drickson to Cornelius Hendrickson, dated August 26, 1789, with same wit- nesses and proof of execution before Judge Hendrick Hendrickson. Several tracts are conveyed by this deed. First a tract of 119 acres and in the particu- lar description given, the "southwest corner of the milldam where it joins the uplands" and "middle of floodgates" were called for as monuments. Then follows a general description as 119 acres more or less, bounded easterly by lands of John Taylor, Esq., northerly by Aumack's now Edward Taylor, deceas- ed, land, westerly in part and in part northerly, by lands formerly Daniel Stevenson's now in possession of Daniel Hendrickson, Junior, and in part by Mahoras brook as it now runs, which tract of land was deeded by John Tay- lor, Esq., f to Daniel Hendrickson, de- ceased, by deed dated August 10, 1763, together with half part of grist mill built by said Daniel Hendrickson, and the right and privilege of digging and carting off earth for use in making, mending and repairing the mill dam from southwest of said milldam forever. Also a tract of 157 acres near "Whak- ake" and four and one-half acres of salt meadow on east side of "Whakake Creek." Half of 36 acres situate a mile south of "Sandy Hook" ( Raritan) "Bay" and one and one-half miles southwest of Point Comfort; 50 acres on north side of public road from Middletown to Perth Amboy, and six and one-half acres of salt meadow at Shoal Harbour, are likewise conveyed to Cornelius Hendrickson by this deed. No share in his father's land is conveyed to Dan- iel who at this time owned and occupied the Stevenson farm. The father may have advanced money to him to pur- chase this land or he may have taken his share in personal property or in money.
+John Taylor, Esq. was appointed sheriff, first in 1751, and held office to 1754, when Robert Cummings succeeded him. He was again ap- pointed sheriff of Monmouth county in 1757 for three years. At the breaking out of the Revo- lutionary war he was one of the judges of our county courts. He was also one of the Peace Commissioners appointed by Admiral Howe on the part of the British government. In 1792 he sold his farm at Middletown Village to George Crawford and a few years after removed to Perth Amboy where he died.
