From the
files of Robert W. Baird:
Among the few records saved from that fire is a deed of gift dated 20 February 1706[9] from Hance Hendrick of St. John’s Parish of King William County to his 'loving son Adolphus Hendrick'. This deed was for the 175 acres patented in 1702, and Hance signed his name 'Hance Hendrick'. Adolphus may have been the eldest son just then reaching maturity, or (more likely) was marrying at this time, as Hance Hendrick specified that the land would revert to him if Adolphus died without male heirs.
Adolphus
Hendrick (c1685 - 1763) He is the only son who can be proven, by the 1706 deed
mentioned above. Given the timing and wording of this deed of gift, it is
reasonable to speculate that Adolphus was the eldest son and had attained
maturity (or was married) at about that time. He remained in King William County through at least 1740. He
patented an additional 490 acres in King William in 1720 and, as a resident of
King William, entered a patent for 1,000 acres in Spottsylvania County on the
same day as his brother and father in 1728. He sold this 1,000 acres in 1740.
He patented 400 acres in Goochland County on 1 February 1740 and purchased an
additional 400 acres in Goochland a few months later[22], on both occasions
still a resident of King William County. He had moved onto this land by 1746,
when he appeared on the Goochland tithables list with two slaves and son-in-law
Phillemon Childers.
This part of
Goochland County became Cumberland County in 1749. Adolphus Hendrick’s will is
dated 25 January 1758, and was recorded on 4 October 1763 in Cumberland County.
He left the 400 acres he patented to his son Benjamin, and the 400 acres he
purchased to his son Moses. Benjamin also received slaves and half the
household goods, additional slaves and the other half of the household goods
going to son John. Benjamin and John were named executors. John and a fourth
son named William received minor bequests. Several married daughters received
slaves or money: Christina Evans, Rachel Guillintine, Alice Hubbard, Mary
Childress, Betty Bostick, Jane Robinson, and Jemima Bradshaw. There are also
several deeds of gift to some of these children. Oddly, after he wrote the will
he deeded the land son Moses was to receive to somebody else, and formalized
some of the other bequests in deeds of gift.
Regarding
our own ancestral line, his will left a slave "Nan" to his daughter
Jane Robinson. Then on 20 Feb 1759, Adolphus Hendrick made a deed of gift of
the same slave Nan to his daughter Jane and her husband Joseph Robinson.
Of Adolphus’
four sons, Benjamin Hendrick moved from Cumberland County into Pittsylvania
County about 1766, then North Carolina, and removed to Georgia after the
Revolution. William died in 1736 or 1737 leaving a widow Martha (ne Parker) and
only one child, Elizabeth, who married John Colquitt in 1753. A later dispute
between Adolphus and John Colquitt clarifies that William Hendrick was
Adolphus’ son.) John later moved to Mecklenburg County 'he seems to have had
children named Obadiah, Daniel, and John. Moses, a Quaker, married Ruth Echols
and died in 1793 in Halifax County' his widow freed all twelve of her slaves a
few years later in the largest manumission in Halifax records.
Adolphus' wife’s name never appears
in any records, nor is a wife named in his will. His children appear to have been born over a span of at least
twenty, and perhaps thirty, years thus raising the possibility of more than one
wife.
