Hendrick Endt is said to have traveled from Rotterdam to America in 1733. He was accompanied by Rev. John Naas of the Amwell Brethren Church, his sons Valentine and Daniel, and a Catherine Endt who may have been his daughter. I do not know where he settled or when he died.
Many of the families that the Ents married into have family trees of their own published here, or else they are on my list of trees to publish in the future. I have included the children of female Ents, but not their grandchildren.

Footnotes:
- When I first published the Ent tree, I left out four of the children of Valentine and Susanna, probably because I had no information on them. Brian Murphy contacted me about a letter he had from Mary Ent, wife of Charles Ent of Morgan Twp., Ohio. It was written in 1821 to Mary’s dearest friend Amy Lambert Hoppock. Since Valentine and Susannah are said to have had a son Charles, I will assume for now that the Charles Ent of Ohio moved there from Hunterdon County. Brian did an internet search and found that Charles Ent of Ohio served in the War of 1812. ↩
- Charles Brown is a mystery. Perhaps one of you has information on him? ↩
- Her second husband may have been a James Doherty, but I have no information on him. ↩
- Some researchers have identified John E. Swallow, born 1796, died 1877, as the son of Benj. and Susan Ent Swallow. But Susan was not old enough to be the mother of John. Since Benjamin Swallow was somewhat older than Susan Ent, it is my guess that he had a previous wife before marrying Susan, and that John was the son of that unknown wife. ↩
Goodspeed Histories: Howell House Part III
October 29, 2018 @ 12:13 am
[…] This week we present the final installment of The Howell House. This episode actually has as much to do with Eliza Scarborough’s lovely stone house on Route 523 as it does the old Howell house on Worman Road. It also includes an explanation for how Worman Road came about, and the private lane that preceded it, illustrated by a wonderful map by Austin Davison. Part of the house’s history includes the family of Jacob Warman, who married into the Bodine and Ent families, who were also neighbours. So, I’ve added two new family trees to the website, for the Bodines and the Ents. […]

Hello,
I saw that Hendrick Endt is listed as Valentine Ent’s father. Can you share any kind of documentation or how this was found? In searching on Ancestry, the father’s name was not listed as Hendrick and Valentine’s date of birth is 1730. The date of birth you have listed at about 1715 seems to fit better. The 1733 ship passenger list found on Ancestry has Valentine and Daniel listed but don’t see the father. Thank you for any input you may have to help solve this mystery for us.
