Hendrick Hendrickson

Hendrick Hendrickson was an American politician from New Jersey, who served on the Monmouth County Board of Justices and Freeholders.

Of Dutch descent, Hendrickson was serving as a Justice of the Peace at least as early as 1784, and from records still extant, was sitting with the Board of Justices and Freeholders by 1788. He served at least to 1796. At the May 12, 1790 annual reorganization, he was chosen as chairman of the board for one year; he was again chosen as chairman at the May 9, 1792 reorganization. In 1797, Hendrickson was elected as a Chosen Freeholder to represent Middletown Township, and served a one-year term. At the May 10, 1797 annual reorganization, he was once again chosen as chairman, and served as in that capacity for one year before leaving the board.[1]

In March 1799, Hendrick Hendrickson was elected to the Middletown Township Committee, where he served until 1805.[2]
