AbstractGottfried Conrad Blankenstein was born 14 April 1822 in Barby, [Saxony-Anhalt], Prussia, Germany. His wife, Dorothea Sophia Freiderike Herbst, was born 15 January 1826, in Badeleben, [Saxony-Anhalt], Prussia, Germany. In 1870, Gottfried, Dorothea, and their children left Germany for America. They departed from the port of Hamburg on the sailboat Eugenie, and arrived in New York on 15 August 1870. The family lived in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, a short time before moving to Defiance, Ohio, where they lived until 1878. They then moved to Texas, settling at Cleburne in Johnson County.
