Juriaen Blanck (c1600-1674/86) was supposedly born in Echernförde, Schleswig-Holstein, of Danish ancestry.(1)  His name is also written Juriae, Jeurian, Jeuriaen, Jeuryaen, Jurrie, Jurrian, Juryan, Juryaen, etc.  In 1634, he was the Captain of the carvel St Martyn (or the Hope) which accompanied the new Director, van Twiller to New Amsterdam.  He also brought Govert Loockermans and Jacob van Kouwenhoven to America, and also probably Dom. Everardus Bogardus. He was a skipper, engaged in trade with the Swedes on the Schuykill and South Rivers as early as 1643, until 1646, when he was ordered to leave by a Swedish officer, under threat of confiscation of his ship and cargo.   In 1645, he voyaged to Rhode Island.  At the baptism of his two eldest children, he was identified as a goldsmith.  He settled in New Amsterdam in 15 Apr 1647 in a house next door to Annetje Jans Bogardus. (2) He married about 1641 in Amsterdam, Holland, Tryntie (Catherine) Klaes (or Klaeszen) (c.1620-soon after 1 Sep 1698) widow of Barent Symonszen of Amsterdam, North Holland.   Children's baptisms and most marriages were at the New York City Reformed Dutch Church.  They made a  joint will 21 Aug 1662.  He signed an Oath of Allegiance to the British in 1664.  He was listed as owner of a house on Pearl Street in New Amsterdam in 1674.  His widow was listed as a member of the Dutch Church in New York in 1686.

Margariet Blanck (bp.21 Jul 1652-c1692) m.17 Jul 1676 Philip Smith (c1650-1692) Their New York City marriage record "1676 17 Aug; Philip Smith, jm van Chambrits in Engellt; Margareta Blanck, jd van N. Yorke" probably indicates that Philip was from Cambridge, England.  Margariet was listed as a member of Dutch Church in New York in 1686.  Phillip Smith was a vintner.  In 1679, he was half-owner of the sloop Rutter, which traded in the Caribbean.  Phillip Smyth, and four others, were certified 9 Dec 1685 by Governor Thomas Dongan to collect the excise tax on all liquors sold in New York.  Philip's will was written 20 Jan 1690, naming his wife Margaret and his children Phillip, Margaret, Caetjie, and Mary.  When it was proved 10 Dec 1692, in New York City, his wife was also dead, and "Albert Bosch, Clark Smith, and Nicholas Blank, shoemakers, brethren in law to said Phillip Smith" were appointed Administrators.  This identifies Clark Smith as Phillip's brother, but I have found no other record of him.  The inventory of his estate included a silver whistle and chain, weighing 18 oz.  Margariet's brother Nicholas was guardian to his children after his death, and lived in New York City.

. 4. Marytje Smith (c1685-8 Apr 1736) m.4 May 1707 Jacobus Quick (1683-23 Aug 1741)

Catherine Smith (bp.6 May 1682-after 1711) married about 1704 Richard Smith (c1675-1711)  It is interesting to note that Richard's grandfather, John Rock Smith, Sr. (c1615-1706) was licensed by the Dutch in 1659 as an Innkeeper.  Catherine's father Philip Smith (c1650-1692) was appointed by the English Governor in 1685 to collect the excise tax on the liquor John Smith sold in his inn.  Richard wrote his will 23 Mar 1710/11.  It was proved 17 May 1711, in Hempstead, Queens, Long Island, naming his wife Catie and children Philip and Mary.  The inventory of his estate included a silver whistle belonging to his daughter Mary, valued at £1.  (LongIslandGenealogy.com also lists children Richard, Timothy and Henry, but cites no sources - could they have been from her second marriage?)

. 2. Mary Smith (11 Dec 1706) m.30 May 1727 Uriah Platt (c.1707-20 Feb 1746)

Mary Smith (11 Dec 1706-1761) m.30 May 1727 Uriah Platt (c.1706-20 Feb 1746) son of Epenetus Platt and Elizabeth Smith.  The 1755 Census listed slaves Waterford and Gin.  Mary was listed as unmarried in her father's will.  Her identification as the wife of Uriah Platt is based upon the name of her second son Philip Smith Platt, who was apparently named for her brother, uncle, or grandfather.  She is reported to have married, secondly, a Richard Smith, by whom she had no children.  His will, dated 24 May 1747 and proved 21 June 1747, mentions wife, Mary, and her sons, Epenetus and Uriah Platt.
