According to the Hendrick Genealogy by Daniel Hendrick of Haverhill, Mass. pg
463-466 "There were three brothers and a sister: William, Francis, Samuel
and Mary, who married a Canfield. We find those brothers first mentioned on the
grand list of Wallingford, in 1701, when William Hendrick was rated at £49, and
Francis Hendrick, £32.
There were five different tracts of land laid out to William Hendrick,
between Feb. 11, 1705-6, and Apr. 26, 1706. He also bought land in 1706, and
again in 1712. Francis Henrick buys land in 1706, and also May 14, 1712. Francis
Hendrick must have died during the year of 1729, for his will was dated Dec.
5, 1729, in which he mentions his loving wife, Martha, and his 'cousin John
third son of my brother William', his sister, Mary Canfield, and also the
children of his brother, Samuel: David, Ezekiel, Elizabeth and Lydia. He
mentions no children of his own. He gives 5 pounds to the church."
The Hendrick Genealogy further states, "William Hendrick m. Jan 5, 1708, Abigail Sicks, in Wallingford, Conn, by Mr. Hallock, as recorded on the town records, in
Wallingford, Conn. But on the records of Springfield Mass., we find 'William
Hendrick, of Wallingford, Conn., m. Jan 7, 1708, Abigail Sikes," b. Mar 16, 1676/7
in Springfield, Mass., dau. of Increase and Abigail Sikes. They lived on their
farm, in that part of Wallingford, Conn., that is now the town of Cheshire. He
died before July 4, 1726, for his will was allowed by the court at that date,
and his widow was appointed administratrix. The inventory gives 20 acres of land
around the house and barn, valued at £ 85; 37 1/2 acres of land adjoining
the same, £75. His whole estate amounted to £249, 10 shillings. It
seems that the widow married a Mr. Smith, for there is a deed dated Dec. 14,
1733, in which Caleb Hendricks sells 'land of his honored mother, Abigail
Smith,' to William Hendrick."
