Note: r land in King William County. The land, 200 and 100 acres respectively, appears to be close (but not adjoining) as both patents were for land on or near Boot Swamp, a creek of the Mattapony which lies almost entirely within what later became Caroline County. This is a reasonable indication that Hans Hendrick Jr. was another son. On 28 September 1728, Hans Hendrick, Adolphus Hendrick, and William Hendrick all filed patents for land in neighboring Spottsylvania County. “Hance Hendrick of King William County” claimed 400 acres of new land.[15] “William Hendrick of King William County” claimed 400 acres in the same vicinity[16], and Adolphus Hendrick (see below) claimed 1,000 acres. None seem to have lived on their lands there. The lack of a modifier may indicate that Hance Hendrick Sr. was dead by this date. “Jr.” and “Sr.” applied to Hance were not seen again until 1740, despite numerous intervening references to Hance Hendrick. The destruction of the early records of King William, Hanover and Caroline counties prevent us from being more accurate as to his date of death - or from finding records of his will or estate.

13 Feb 1735/6 Juror: Hance Hendrick was a juror in the trial of Peter Lanter vs. Richard Straughn, Jr. in Trespass. (Caroline County, VA, Court Orders, 2:325)
16 Jun 1738 Land Patent: Hans Hendrick of Caroline County, 400 acres in Amelia County, on both sides of Mayes branch of Flat Creek. No adjoining neighbors noted in survey. For £2. (Virginia Patents 17:529)
This was Hans Hendrick II, son of Hance Hendrick I, preparing to move from Caroline to Amelia. There is only one Hance Hendrick mentioned in Caroline court records after they begin in 1732. The last indication that he was living in Caroline
(other than this patent) was a year earlier, and the first indication of his residence in Amelia is a year later.
Note: Both "Hance Hendrick Sr."[13] and "Hance Hendrick Jun."[14] filed patents on 24 March 1725 fo
