Biography-shared
"As the research of the early Blancks in Spring Garden, formerly Ledger, and the early Blauncks in Cains are studied they do not link together in relationship in America. It is also found that "Blank" is a French name, translated in German it's wise and in English it's white."Bishop John Blank is the son of Hanes H. Blanck who lived between Schoeneck and Denver, formerly Union Station, just west of the Cocalico Creek. The farm was over 300 acres and today part of the farm is owned by John Brubaker. An old cemetery is on top of the hill, and old stone wall around it, with some of Hanes H. Blanck's descendants buried there. In the corner of the graveyard are two old stones without any marking which is believed to be Hanes Blanck and his wife, Mary Eichelman.
"Hanes H. Blank has left a record of nine children, John, Christian, Jacob, Nicholas, Peter, Michael, Barbara, wife of Abraham Kurtz, Marie, wife of Bernard Wolf, and Catharine, wife of John King.
"We also find on the ship list of St. Andrew, Sept. 23, 1752, Hanes (H) Blanck and the names of his first four mentioned sons."
