Hendershot

Hendershot is a surname. Hendershot is the Americanized version of Hinneschied (could also be Hinderschied or Hinterschied). Hinneschied was thought to come from the surname Hayderschatte. Hayderschatte came from Micheal Hayder and Charlotte Schatte. When they had been married, they combined last names and therefore created the surname Hayderschatte. Shortly after however, it is believed that their son, Wilhelm, had changed it to Hinneschied. Before the Hendershots came to America, they had lived in the Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. The original farm house that the German Hinneschieds lived in is still there today. The first Hinneschied/Hendershot to come to America , Johann Micheal Hendershot, had brought his family and himself to Tewksbury New Jersey on June 13, 1710. The Hendershot house (Hohenhaus meaning 'High House') in Tewksbury New Jersey is also still standing. It is believed that all Hendershots in the United States of America and North America can trace their genealogy back to Johann and his family.
