• Notes

  Adapted from Rattray: The first Conklin or Conkling (the name is spelled both ways) to settle in East Hampton was Ananias, born in Nottinghamshire, England about 1600. He came to Salem, MA in the 1630's. John (1) and Ananias (1) Conklin(g) of Staffordshire, Worcestershire, [and] Nottinghamshire, England and Salem, Massachusetts are the progenitors of two separate Long Island lines. There is no documentation known for the parents of John and Ananias Conklin. It is not known if they were brothers or cousins but DNA testing in 2001 confirms they were related. Most of John's descendants trace their roots to the Huntington, Northport, Southold, Shelter Island and Riverhead areas of Long Island while the descendants of Ananias come from further east on the Island, the East Hampton area. Both were glass makers by trade.
