. THE FAMILY OF SCHENCK.
The Schencks of Monmouth County are descended from Roelof Schenck Van Nydeck ...John, son of the second Garret, was born August 28, 1745, & died on his 89th birthday, in 1834. [Capt. John was a fierce Patriot.]
... At one time he drove off with his company a party of Refugees who had come over from Staten Island & landed on the East Point, &, having gone up in the country, collected a lot of cattle & driven them down to the shore, were engaged in trying to ship their plunder on their boats. They were attacked, the captain going on ahead & swinging his hat & calling to his men to come on. He himself shot one man down by the name of Lawrence, having struck him in the forehead with a bullet.
[One wonders which Lawrence this could have been. - PJA] - - - [1]
