* It is claimed by some of the Schenck family that Jan and Roelof Martense Schenck are sons of Marten Schenck of Nydack or Nydeggen, a town about 18 miles southeast from Aix-la-Chapelle; that Marten's father was Peter Schenck of Nydack, b. in 1547 at Goch, a small town about 10 miles south of Cleves, m. in 1580 Johanna Scherpenzeel; and that this Peter was a brother of the celebrated Marten Schenck, a soldier of fortune and an officer of distinction in the wars of the Low Countries. Without the evidence which has been gathered in Holland of the genealo- gy of the family, the name would imply a relationship to the soldier and warrior, but it is singular, if this account is correct, that the name of Peter does not appear in the family until the fourth generation, when it is well known that it was the custom of the Netherlanders to perpetuate the names of their ancestors, which custom prevails among many of their descendants in this country to this day. These Schencks, according 10 tradition, owned vessels which traded with the Netherlands, which often, by way of Rockaway Inlet, came into Flatlands or Jamaica Bay to de- liver or receive goods from their owners.
There was a "Wessel Schenck" among the members of the company chartered Oct. 11, 1614, for an exclusive trade of three years with the New Netherlands, as per p. 149 of Vol. I. of Doc, of Col. His.
