Roelof Martense Schenck, who was born at Amersfoort, Utrecht, Holland, supposedly about 1630, and who came to New Amsterdam (New York City) with his brother Jan Martense and sister Annetje in 1650, and in 1661 settled at Flatlands (now a part of Brooklyn), has the well-deserved reputation of being the ancestor, through both male and female lines, of more of the early Dutch families in Monmouth county, where two of his three sons settled, than almost any other one Dutch progenitor. Besides Schencks, hundreds of families bearing Smock, Vanderveer, Hendrickson, Covenhoven, Conover, Wyckoff, Van Doren, Voorhees, etc., surnames, by descent or intermarriage, manage somehow to get back to this Roelof as a forbear or connection. One of Roelof's daughters, Jannetje (written “Jonica” in his will) married Peter Nevius, son of the original Nevius emigrant to America, and through this Peter and his wife Jannetje all who bear the Nevius surname in this country descend. Roelof Martense Schenck died prior to Aug. 3, 1705, when his will was probated in New York City (Surrogate's Wills, Book 7, p. 309). He was then, perhaps, about seventy-five years of age, and was three times married. He waited, apparently, to the unusual age of thirty before he married (in 1660) Neeltje Gerritse Van Cowenhoven, daughter of Gerrit Wolfertse Van Cowenhoven, whose father, Wolfert, was the common ancestor in America of all the Cowenhovens and Conovers. She was nineteen years of age, but lived only until about 1674. By her he had six children. In 1675 Roelof married Annatje Pieterse Wyckoff, probably the daughter of Pieter Claesen Wyckoff, the first American ancestor of the Wyckoff family. She also lived about a dozen years, and by her Roelof had four children. Then, on Nov. 9, 1688, Roelof married Catarina Cregier, widow of Christoffel Hooglandt, Sr., who was several times a Schepen in Amsterdam and prominent in city affairs. This Catarina was then forty-five years of age. The ten children mentioned grew up and married into the families of Brinckerhoff, Voorhees, Terhune, Nevius, Hageman and Cowenhoven.

The Schenck family settled in the present Strathmore area and eventually included all of Munsey Park and large land areas in Strathmore Vanderbilt and North Hills. The head of the family was Roeloff Martense Schenck. He had one son, Martin, who left his two sons a parcel of land that was purchased by his father from the Halsted Patent.

In 1722 Rulof and Minne Schenck each built homes on the one hundred acres that were given to them by their father. The two houses were situated on either side of the road that led from Herricks to the Meeting House. Together the Schenck brothers would buy out the adjacent lots of land which increased their acreage threefold.

After a time the older brother, Rulof, chose to return to the flatlands of Brooklyn. He sold his portion of land at the head of Cow Neck to his son-in-law Joris Rapalje. Minne remained on his property and this branch of the family occupied the Schenck homestead until the twentieth century.

Minne Schenck built his house between 1720 and 1725. Some forty years later he remodeled it to accommodate the growing needs of his family, including himself (a widower), his son Martin, three daughters and several slaves.

His will, dated November 1766 lists "my clock, and my large Dutch Bible and my writing desk, and my iron back plate, and my bed with all its furniture where I sleep." His daughter Maria was to inherit one of this "best bedsteads" which stood in the back room.

FROM - Franklin Ellis,, HISTORY OF MONMOUTH COUNTY, NEW JERSEY , Philadelphia, R.T. Peck & Co., 1885 .

"THE FAMILY OF SCHENCK. -- The Schencks of Monmouth County are descended from Roelof Schenck Van Nydeck, who, with his brother Jan, emigrated to this country from Holland in 1650. The particular place from whence they came was probable Doesberg, in the province of Guelderland, where, it appears, their father was born. He was a sone of Martin and a grandson of General Peter Schenck and his wife, Joanna Van Scharpenseel, and General Peter was a brother of the celebrated General and Sir Martin Schenck, with whom his brother fought and was one of the most successful, daring and enterprising commanders in Holland in the time of the war of the revolution there. Tracing them back, they were descended from four Dericks in succession,and them from two Heinrichs, or Henrys, in succession, going back to 1346, and who were lords of the manorial estates of Afferden, Wachtendonk and Blyenbeck, Afferden and Blyenbeck lying on the Maas River, above the town of Gennep, and Wachtendonk on the Nioss River, above the town of Gelden. Passing back one or two nknown generations, they were descended from Ludolphus, Wilhelmus and Christianus, going back to 1225, and then through Christianus, a second son in the family of Schencks, the barons of Tautenberg, going back to 330. The descendants of Christianus were known as the Schencks Van Nydeck, so called from the town of Neideggen, lying on the river Roer, some eighteen miles east of Aix-la-Chapelle, where no doubt Christianus had an estate or residence.
