Among the various families SCHENCK of early immigrants to New Amsterdam, New Nether- lands, who were of pure Holland blood, few have escaped the cruel butchery to which the Holland surnames were submitted when the efforts of the English "robbers" took from them their rights as to property and appar- ently tried to extinguish even their birthright -the use of their father's name. The geneal- ogist has been put to his wits end to reconcile Bruyn with Brown; Couvenhoven with Cono-

ver and innumerable similar examples of both Christian and surnames. In doing away with Holland usages as to naming children they have raised another difficulty. The original spelling of this branch of the Schenck family was Skinker, which, translated, means "cup bearer."
(I) Martin Schenck von Nydeck was born in Doesburgh, province of Utrecht, Holland, August 7, 1584. He married Maria Marga- retta de Bockhurst and they came to the New Netherlands with their three children, proba- bly in the ship "de Valckener," Willhelm Thomassin, Captain, which sailed from Hol- land in March and arrived in New Amster- dam, January 28, 1650, at which time he was sixty-five years of age and appears to have taken no active part in the affairs of the fam- ily after their arrival. Children: I. Roelef Martinse, see forward. 2. Jan or Johannis, born probably in Amersfoort, province of Utrecht, Holland, September 19, 1650, was bailiff of Kessel and a man of considerable prominence. He married Magdalina, born October 7, 1660, died April 12, 1688, daugh- ter of Hendrick and Maria de Hoes, and they had a son Jan, born in New Amsterdam, Sep- tember 19, 1650, three months after the ar- rival of the families of Schenck at that place. 3. Anetje, born probably at Amersfoort, Hol- land, and married July 29, 1659, to Adrian Reyeroz. There appears to be no record of the death in New Amsterdam or elsewhere in the New Netherlands of Martense Schenck von Nydeck, or of his wife, Maria Margaretta (de Bockhurst), but Colonel Van der Dussen, of the Netherlands Army, says that Martense came to America with his children.
(II) Roelef Martense, eldest son of Martin Schenck von Nydeck and Maria Margaretta de Bockhurst, his wife, was born in Amers- foort, province of Utrecht, Holland, in 1619, and died in Flatlands, Long Island, in 1704. He married in his native land but we have no record of children by this first marriage. He came with his father and brother Jan and sister Anetje to New Amsterdam. The fam- ily soon after received from the Dutch govern- ment a grant of land in Flatlands, on Nassau Island, called by the English, Long Island. There he married in 1660, Neeltje Geretsen, daughter of Gerret Wolphertse Van Couven- hoven, a son of Wolfret Gerrettsen Van Cou- venhoven, probably a neighbor in Amersfoort, Holland, who came to New Netherlands with the Holland colony which gathered under the Dutch East India Company and was destined
for a settlement at the head of navigation on Hudson's river, at Rensselaerwick, above and opposite the Dutch Fort which became under English rule, Albany. Roelef Martense Schenck made his will September 4, 1704, and it was proved August 3, 1705 (see "Ancestry and Descendants of Rev. William Schenck" by Captain A. D. Schenck, U. S. A., 1883). In his will he devised all his real estate to his eldest son, Martin, giving to his two younger sons, Garret and Jan, and to his six living daughters, Jonica, Maryke, Margretta, Neetje, Mayke and Sara, and to his two grandchildren, children of his deceased daughter Annetje, sixty pounds, ten shillings each, making these legacies chargeable to the income from the real estate devised to his eldest son. Neeltje Ger- etsen Van Couvenhoven was born in Flatlands, and baptized in the Reformed church in Bruecklyn, September 20, 1641; she died in Flatlands in 1704.

ary 29, 1679, died in Middletown, New Jer- sey, December 1, 1744. Garret Roelefse and Jan Roelefse Schenck, with their families, in- cluding their brothers-in-law Cornelius van Cowenhoven and Stephen Coert van Voorhees and Peter Wyckoff, removed to Monmouth county, New Jersey, about 1695, where they purchased of John Bowne, merchant of Mid- dletown, Monmouth county, New Jersey, five hundred acres of land back of the Navesink Hills, located in a valley which gave the place the name of Pleasant Valley, near Holmdel in the bounds of Middletown township. There they became prominent citizens, and the Van Cowenhovens became known in the evolution of Dutch names as Conover, but the name Schenck was never changed. The families intermarried and the records of the time and churches are much confused by reason of this commingling of names.
(III) Garret Roelefse, third son and sixth child of Roelef Martense and Neeltje Geretsen (van Couvenhoven) Schenck, was born in Flat- lands, Long Island, New York, October 27, Į671. and before removing to Monmouth county, New Jersey, he married Neeltje Coerten Van Voorhees of Flatlands.

STATE OF NEW JERSEY.
(VII) Joseph H., son of Courtland and Caroline (Conover) Schenck, was born in Evesham township, near Moorestown, Burling- ton county, New Jersey, May 6, 1811. His principal life work is told in the following from an article by Dr. Clement B. Lowe, in the Pharmaceutical Era:
"Established 1836. Dr. J. H. Schenck & Son, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, proprietors of Schenck's Mandrake Pills, Schenck's Pul- monic Syrup, Schenck's Tonic.
"Remarkable, indeed, has been the growth of the firm of Dr. J. H. Schenck & Son, which might be said to have grown from a home- made remedy to its present large proportions. The founder of the house, the father of the present proprietor, was born in New Jersey. Before he reached his majority he was stricken with pulmonary trouble.
"A change of climate apparently gave no re- lief and the young man was given up by his physicians as incurable.
"Upon the suggestion of an old friend of the family, he tried an old-fashioned remedy, which he experimented with and improved on.
"It was the turning point of his health and fortune. He grew better, and in less than a year was apparently as well as ever.
"The medicine which he had made for him- self was, as the news of his cure spread, ap- plied for by friends and neighbors.
"The demand spread beyond the possibilities of charity and friendship and Dr. Schenck (he had since studied medicine) commenced the manufacture of Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup.
"Orders came thick and fast from all parts of the country, and as the transportation facili- ties were limited in his home section he moved to Philadelphia.
"From a few simple appliances and one room in his home, his plant grew amazingly. Larger quarters were needed, and after several such moves (always to larger quarters) he built the building at N. E. Cor. 6th & Arch Sts., where the business is now carried on. The manu- facture of Schenck's Tonic and Mandrake Pills was taken up subsequently and to-day consti- tutes the business of the house.
"The founder died forty years after his phy- sician had given him up, but the results of his experiments of nearly three-quarters of a cen- tury ago, judging from the immense business of the house, still seem entirely competent to supply the needs of the present day."
Joseph H. Schenck married, about 1837, Cath- erine, daughter of Peter and Sarah (Van Nest ) Haward, of Flemington, New Jersey. Her father
came to Flemington from England, and married Sarah Van Nest, of Millstone, New Jersey. The children of Joseph H. and Catherine (Haward) Schenck were born in Philadelphia, Pennsyl- vania, and are as follows : I. Sarah Jane, 1838, married Colonel Charles C. Knight, of Phila- delphia and had three children : Joseph S., Harriet West and Frank C. 2. Maria V., mar- ried William M. Rowland, and had one child, Catherine S. 3. Peter H., who died January, 1871. 4. Joseph Hammitt, see forward. Jo- seph H. Schenck was a resident of Philadel- phia, where he died, February 1I, 1874.
(VIII) Joseph Hammitt, only living son and fourth child of Joseph H. and Catherine (Haward) Schenck, was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, December 25, 1847: He attended the public schools and was graduated at Jeffer- son Medical College, as Doctor of Medicine, in 1869. He affiliated with the Masonic fraternity, being initiated into the order in Franklin Lodge, No. 134, of Philadelphia, was advanced to Signet Chapter, No. 51, Royal Arch Masons, and is a member of Lulu Temple, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles Mystic Shrine. His church affiliation by inheritance and choice was the Presbyterian faith, and he is one of the original members of the Presbyterian Social Union. His social club life was centered in the Union League Club of Philadelphia. He succeeded to the business his father established. Dr. Schenck was married, December 22, 1870, to Matilda G., daughter of William H. Kisterbock, of Philadelphia, and they had only one son, Joseph Haward.
(IX) Joseph Haward, only living son of Joseph H. and Matilda G. (Kisterbock) Schenck, was born in Philadelphia, Pennsyl- vania, June 4, 1872. He was prepared for business life in private schools in Philadelphia and at the Pierce Business College. After being graduated he entered the establishment of Dr. Joseph H. Schenck & Son, and has been employed by this well known firm to the present time ( 1909) as general manager. He is a member of Franklin Lodge, No. 134, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, of Philadelphia ; Signet Chapter, No. 51, Royal Arch Masons ; St. John's Commandery, Knights Templar, of Philadelphia, and Lulu Temple, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles Mystic Shrine.
