By Alfred E. Hendershot

A Genealogy of the Hendershot Family in America. When Michael Henneschied came to America in 1710, he and his family had among their belongings, silverware, cuff links, dishes, and silver snuff boxes, bearing the Crest of 'Von Hayderschatte.' It was custom in those days that when a young man left his home, some of the treasures were given to him as keepsakes. Baron Von Hayder married Baroness Von Schatte in 1612 and the name became Hayderschatte. Michael (b 1674)and Katherine (b 1680) Henneschied with their three children came to America on the ship "Lyon" in 1710. Ann was Queen of England at this time and she sent Governor Hunter of New Jersey along with the thousands of emigrants to a settled area.
