Looks German
Looks like an Anglo-modified German name. Was it ever Schenkfelder or Shenckfelder?

I agree. It must denote someone from a place called Schenkenfeld. There is a place of that name near Wurzburg in Central Germany (Franconia?), there may be others. Feld means field, Schenken means ...?
