THE CONKLIN FAMILY
Originally published in 1900 |
|
THE CONKLIN FAMILY are scattered over Bergen and Hudson Counties, most, if not all, of them being descended from John Conklyne, of
Nottinghamshire, England, and his wife, Elizabeth Allseabrook (married
in 1625), who came to America in 163 and settled at Salem, Mass., where
he and his brother, Ananias, established the first glass works in America.
They moved to Southold, L. I., about 350. From thence John removed
to Huntington, L. I., where he died in 164;, aged about eighty-three years.
His brother, Ananias, settled at Easthampton, L. I. His descendants spell
the name Conkling, of whom the late Senator Roscoe Conkling was one.
John's descendants spell the name Conklin. His grandson, Nicholas became one of the purchasers of the "Kakiate" patent of many thousand
acres in Rockland County, N. Y., and settled at Haverstraw in 1711. He
left several children, among whom were John, Edmund, Elias, William,
and Joshua. Of these, John, born at Eastchester, N. Y., about 1700,
married, January 1, 1720, Gertrude, daughter of John de Pew, and settled
at Haverstraw. Edmund married Barbara, daughter of John Hogencamp.
Joseph Conklin, Rebecca Hyer. his wife, and Samuel Conklin and Jannetie Hyer, his wife, settled at Haverstraw, N. Y., in 1709. Matthias
Conklin, probably a brother of Nicholas, above mentioned, left his home
at Philips Manor in Westchester County, N. Y., early in 1719, and went to
Hackensack, where on the 27th of September of that year he married
Sophia Mabie, daughter of Casparus Mabie, the first immigrant of that
name. Matthias bought from Henry Ludlow and settled on a large farm
on the west side of the Hudson River in Bergen County, N. J., a little
south of the present New York State line, bounded south by the Riker
farm, north by the Gesner farm, east by the Hudson River, and west by
the " Ludlow Ditch." His sons were Jacob, Abraham, and Casparus, of
whom Jacob inherited the bulk of his father's lands. He married Hester
Lawrence and had issue Delifrens, Barent, Maria, John, Elizabeth, David,
and Jacob. Abraliarn, his brother, married Margaretta, daughter of William Bell, and left a family of nine children, while Casparus, who married
Mynote Martling, left six children.
The descendants of the above spread rapidly over Rockland County, N. Y., and Bergen County, N. J.
