Hendrikus Arnoldus Blankman became a sea Captain. He attended the Kweekschool vor de Zeevaart in Amsterdam and was Captain of de Vrouw Elisabet which took about 200 German settlers to Philadelphia in 1817. He brought his Dutch family to New York in 1819. His father was Gerrit Gerritsz. Blankman, Sr, the son of Captain Gerrit Pietersz. Blankman (1700-1770) of Den Helder. I wrote his biography.
