Individual Details
Marten Roelefse Schenck
(22 Jul 1661 - 2 May 1727)
The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, Vol 147, No. 1, January 2016 has an article and transcriptions of the following:
"Two Early Dutch Family Bibles: Marten Roelofse Schenck (1661-1727) and Joris Rapalje (1732-1815)"
These Bibles are in the Gardner Sage Library, New Brunsick, New Jersey - and were presented by a descendant in 1948. The Schenck Bible was printed in 1686 and members of four generations are listed in various handwritings which have been compared to other early documents. Martin Roelofse Schenck himself began the inscriptions. There is considerable difference in what appears in many online family trees.
There is a correction concerning wife Elesebet Minnen printed in Vol 147, No. 4, Oct 2016, p.312-313. A chart is incorrect, but the translation itself was accurate.
Marten's will was dated 28 Apr 1727, proved 9 Sep 1728.
