John Schenck
John Schenck (sometimes written ''Schanck'') (1750–1823) was a captain in the New Jersey Militia during the American Revolutionary War.
==Background==
Schenck was born in the now-defunct Amwell Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey on May 26, 1750, the son of Gerret Roelofse Schenck (1719–1794) and Marytje van Sicklen (1722–1778). His ancestors were early Dutch settlers of New Amsterdam who had moved into New Jersey in the 1690s. In 1770, Schenck married Aida Sutphen (1754–1818), daughter of Aert Sutphen (1718–1798) and Jannetje Van Mater (1724-aft. 1798), whose ancestors were also part of the New Amsterdam Dutch settlement.
When Schenck died on his farm in Amwell Township, he left a sizeable estate. He is buried in Pleasant Ridge Cemetery, in what is now Raritan Township, along with his wife, parents and many of his children.〔Wright, Terry. ("Centennial nears for Pleasant Ridge Cemetery in Raritan Twp., burial site of N.J. notables" ), ''The Hunterdon County Democrat'', March 27, 2013. Accessed May 29, 2013. "Then there are several Revolutionary war soldiers, the most famous of whom is Capt. (later Col.) John Schenck, who led a company at the Battle of Monmouth but is more famous locally as leader of the Amwell Militia against the British cavalry in the so-called 'Amwell Skirmish.'"〕 His marker reads "In memory of Captain John Schenck, who departed this life August 22, 1823, aged 73 years, 2 months and 27 days."
