John Colman John Colman (died September 6, 1609) was a crew member of the ''Half Moon'' under Henry Hudson who was killed by Native Americans by an arrow to his neck. ==Biography== On September 6, 1609, only five days after the arrival of the first Dutch and English sailors, John Colman was reportedly killed by attacking Native Americans by an arrow to his neck.〔() Dunlap, William. "A history of New York, for schools, volume 2."Collins, Keese, & Co., New York, 1837 Pages12-13.Retrieved September 4, 2009〕 Colman was an "accomplished sailor" and served as second mate on Henry Hudson's ship. The ''Half Moon'' sailed into New York Harbor and was anchored between Coney Island and Sandy Hook. Colman was part of a 5 man crew that was aboard a rowboat that was scouting the area. Allegedly, two canoes filled with Native Americans attacked and fired a volley of arrows, killing Colman and wounding two others.〔() Goodwin, Maude Wilder, "Dutch and English on the Hudson: a chronicle of colonial New York." Yale University Press, 1921, page 6. Retrieved September 4, 2009〕 The survivors of the attack returned to the ''Half Moon'' at 10 a.m. on September 7, 1609 with Colman's body. He was buried that day either at what is now Coney Island, Staten Island, Sandy Hook or Keansburg, New Jersey. The forgotten location was then named Colman's Point. A contemporary account of his death was written in the journal of Robert Jouet, the first mate of the ''Half Moon.''〔http://www.halfmoonreplica.org/Juets-journal.pdf〕
