2. From Conkling Family.
1. Jeremiah Conchling assessed proterty value 193 pounds 10 shillings 24
Aug 1675.
2. Jeremiah was mentioned in various E Hampton records. "Her husband
appears to have been prominent in town and church affairs; accumulated
property and settled lands upon his children in his lifetime. 'These
three parcels of land... I, Jeremyah Conkling, Senior do hereby give to
my sons Jeremyah and Cornelyus and my daughter Mary Mulford, wife of
Tomas Mulford, to them, their heirs and assigns forever, to be equally
divided between them."... 'Unto my son Cornelius, and my son-in-law
Thomas Mulford... one parcel of land containing six acres... ten acres
and a half more..also eleven acres.. to be divided equally between them'
On 8 Sep 1683 his property was rated by the town estimates: Heads 3, land
36, oxen 4, cattle 31, horses 2, swine 4, sheep 35, estates 247 pounds 3
s 4d.' At another time his settled divisions of land upon his sons David
and Lewis for 'good affection', 5 1/2 acres and 16 poles each.
In 1695 Jeremiah was supposed to have built a house in Amagansett which
was to become the first post office - but them may have been his son.
Another EHTR "Also a certain parcel of low meadow adjoining the calf
pasture, by virture of a town grant made to lion Gardiner, deceased, to
the said David and Lewis Conkling, equally - after the Rev. Mr. Nathaniel
Hunting shall cease performing the ministry in E. H." ...Jeremiah
Conkling, Senior, "sweaped ye meeting house yearly, for a period of
nearly thirty years, for which the town paid him about 1 pound 7s 6d a
year." "He died 14 March 1712-13 ae. 78 about 9 in ye evening." "On 8
Oct 1714, his widow by deed, signed her mark, confirmed the will of her
late husband, which settled upon her sons Jeremiah, Cornelius, David,
Lewis, and Ananias, all lands and prividges within the bounds of E
Hampton, that did formerly belong to her father, Lion Gardiner, of the
Isle of Wright.

Two of the Registered Pedigrees published by the New York Genealogical
and Biographical Society (Record 42: No 11 page 212 and no 20 page 335
and reprinted in the NY Genal & Biogr Society's Reg of Pedigrees Part I :
p 10 & 19) deal with the Gardiner line. The name of the wife of Lion
Gardiner, the American Founder, is given as Mary Wilemson Duercant, b abt
1601 at Woredon (1) Holland." It is evident from the available records -
as published in "Gardiners of Gardiner's Island, By John Lion Gardiner,
1927 p 3 ff,. that a mistake has been made in the patronynic of Mary
Deurcant. She was the daughter of Dirck Willemsz. Deurcant, hence her
name should have read Mary Dirksdr and not mary Wilemson D.
In the above cited genealogy on page 3, Lion Gardiner's own birgraphical
account is published which reads in part "--- came I Lion Gardiner and
Mary my wife from Woerden a towne in Holland, where my wife was borne,
being the daughter of on Derike Wilamson Derocant; her mother's name
Hachin Bastians, her aunt, sister of her mother, was the wife of Wouter
Leanardon old burgermeaster... her brother's name was Punc Gearetson also

2. The Conklin Family by Honor Conklin
1.The first Conklin or Conkling (the name is spelled both eays) to settle in East Hampton was Ananias, born in Norringhamshire, Eng about 1600. He came to Salem, Ma in the 1630's with his brother John, perhaps there were other brothers, but certainly John was there. Ananias Conkling is recorded as a member of the First Church in Salem in 1639. The brothers were glass-makers by trade. They were first to manufacture window glass and bottles in New England. They were granted house lots in Salem. Ananias was granted, 1638, a ten-acre plot for a glass factory; they was still know, long afterward, as "Glass House Field". Ananias was made a freeman of Salem on 18 May 1642.
They left New England for Long Island probably late in 1649, John founding a family in Southold, later moving to Huntington about 1660.
Ananias obtained an allotment of land in East Hampton, settleing here about 1650. Jeremiah, oldest son of Ananias, was one of the first four settlers of Amagansett shortly after 1690. The house he built there is still standing and was sold 1950 to Mrs. Donald Lam. Anagansett has been called, facetiouly, "Conklinville".
Historians will differ on some points, after 300 years. Chauncey L Ditmars, Babylon Town Historian, wrote in 1936 about the Huntington
Conklins, calling the first settler of that name there "Robert". Frank J Conkling, writing in 1894, called the first Conklin in Huntington
"John". Still another genealogist, Joseph Conklin Jr stated that there was a third brother named Cornelius who remained in Salem, died there in 1667 leaving a widow who later married Robert Starr.
Ananias Conklin is thought to have owned property later C P B Jefferys and now divided by Jefferys Lane. The book "Lineal Ancestors of Susan (Mulford) Cory, " Vol 3, part 1, page 49 states that Esther, first wife of Capt Samuel Mulford, was propably dau of Ananias Conkling by his third wife, whom he married when she was the widow of Robert Rose; and that the daughter was about 4 years old. Since he had a daughter Hester, only about six years old when he died, who is thought to have married George Miller, that seems unlikely. The writer has no proof of any marriage but the first, but there may have been others.
2. Annanias worked as a glassmaker in King Seinford, Stafford,England when he married Mary Lauder/Lavender, a spinster of St. Peter's Parish in Nottingham, England. the marriage is recorded in that church on 23 Feb 1631. Ther first son Jeremiah was born in 1634.
Between 1634 and 1636 Ananias, his brother John, and their families came to America and settled in Salem, Ma. It is believed that Mary Lauder died in Salem (now Peabody), although her grace has not been located. Her death was probably between 1638 and 1639 after the births of Cornelius and Benjamin but before Ananias's marriage to Susan in 1639. Ananias and John were granted house lots in Salem in June 1638.
The following info taken from various books on early American glass. In 1638 Lawrence Southwick, A Quaker, and Obadiah Holmes formed a partnership to build the first glass factory in New England with ananias and John Conkling, practical glassmakers. Each were granted land adjoining their homes for the glass house. This land was located on the original road from Salem to Boston, and is now Abbott Street, a residential secition in Peabody. In the records of the Mass. Bay Colony, it says that the town of Salem lent the men 30 pounds for the factory to be repaid if the factory succeeded and when they were able. A descendent of Southwich was quoted as saying that bottles were made in lifht and dk green, blue and brown glass. Also, earthenware and "bull's eyes" for
windows and doors were made. No samples of the work have been positively
identified.
In 1639 Ananias married Susan, a member of the First Church of Salem. On
18 May 1642, John and Ananias were made freedmen of Salem and received
more land. About that time they were also made freedmen of what is now
Cambridge. In Vol II of Mass Bay Colony , under Oct 1645, it states that
Ananias and John petiti8oned the General Court for a settlement with the
undertakers of the factory, Holmes and Southwick. They said the works
had been neglected for three years and they they had not been paid. It
was at this time that Quakers were being harassed and persecuted, among
them, Southwick. Ananias and John then requested a release from the
agreement in order to seek work elsewhere. About 1649, Ananias and John
with their families moved south and settle in Southhold, N.Y. "Southhold
Town Records" Dec 1652 states the location of land holding of Ananias in
Southold. "Whitaker's Southhold" shows a map of the holdings. In 1650,
Ananias obtained an allotment of land in E Hampton. He shared the meadow
on the N side of Hook Pond with Lion Gardiner, Thomas Charfield and
William Hedges. In 4 Feb 1656, Ananias and Lion wer choses as chimney
inspectors. While in E Hampton, Ananias married Dorothy. Lion
disapproved of the marriage of Mary to Meremiah. He is said to have
commented that the Conklings were bottlers from Nottinghamshire and that
they were farmers and handymen without large estates. Ananias died in
1657 probably in E Hampton. He is presumed to be buried in Old South End
Burial Ground but no stone has been found.
