Three of Martin Schenck's children were named Roelof, Jan, and Anetje.

NY GENEALOGICAL BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD V 68 1939 F116.N28
States the following:

"The fact that two brothers, Roelof Martensz. Schenck and Jan Maitensz, Schenck and a sister Annetje Martens Schenck came to America in about 1650, does not constitute proof that they had the above named Martin Schenck for a father. This is especially true when one considers that the surname Schenck is far from uncommon both in the Netherlands and in Germany, for it is an occupational surname derived from the verb schen(c)ken, that is pouring. The name Schenck (Schenk) was commonly applied to one who poured drinks, that is a tavernkeeper, a Mundschenck in German. Even during the Middle ages, the Lords of Culemborg, high cup bearers to the Bishops of Utrecht, a pear sometimes with the surname Schenck in the old records as an indication of their high dignity"
