Hendrick J Schermerhorn

Hendrick Schermerhorn lived in Schodack, N. Y., and both he and his wife were among the early members (No. 7 and No. 8) of the Old Dutch Church there. The census of 1790 lists the family as follows:

Hendrick Schermerhorn, residence, Rensselaerwyck; 1 male over 16 (father); 1 male under 16; 4 females (inc. mother); 5 slaves. At this time Jacob H., the eldest son, had married and had a family of his own, and some time previous to this had, with his brother Evert, removed to Montgomery County. The name of Hendrick Schermerhorn is found among those of the claimants for land bounty rights after the Revolution, as a member of the 4th N. Y. Regt.

The property of Hendrick Schermerhorn is indicated on the Van Alen map of 1785-90, bordering the Hudson River, opposite Schodack Island. It comprised about 300 acres.
