Conklin/Cancklie of Westchester County, New York, first documented generation

Parents: UNKNOWN (referred to as [?"John Concklin of Flushing and Rye"] and [?Helena/Magdalena].

Generation numbers are marked with an asteric to distinguish them from the line of John Conklin (1) of Southold and Huntington, New York. DNA testing in 2001 has determined that this line is NOT a biological match with the male descendants of John Conklin (1) of Southold and Huntington and his brother or cousin, Ananias Conklin of East Hampton. Conklin Mann in his The American Genealogist articles also speculated on a son, Edmund, to explain the existence of Tobias Conklin. No documentation for Edmund has been found.

The family is referred to by Conklin (Concklin) variants in "English" town, court, and deed records and by Canckley (Cantly) variants in the Dutch Reform Church records. The actual surname of their father is unknown. It is my opinion that it is unlikely to be Conklin. The English Conklins have numerous variant spellings to the name but CONKLIN is the standardized form and is recognized by the Library of Congress to facilitate ease of searching.
