Bob:
As I wrote to you last night by private e-mail, I have information on this
line. I'm posting this also to the Conklin and New York lists for others
to look at and share their comments and corrections.
Naomi^5 was born 1740 in Huntington, but I don't have her death date. She
married 7 November 1759 at Huntington to Joseph LEWIS, the son of Joseph
LEWIS and Abigail SCUDDER.
Joseph and Naomi had these children [per Seversmith's "Colonial Families"]
i. Azel LEWIS bapt. Huntington 30 July 1764 m. Smithtown 12 April 1784 to
Susanna CONKLIN [daughter of Israel CONKLIN and Deborah SMITH]. I have
a line of descendant from this couple.
ii. Joseph LEWIS bap. Huntington 6 July 1766 died Huntington 7 January
1797
iii. Conklin LEWIS b. ca. 1767 d. 4 October 1791 age 24
iv. Richard LEWIS b. ca. 1773 d. 18 May 1805 age 32
v. Abigail LEWIS bap. Huntington 28 Sept. 1760 m. 2 DEc. 1781 Ebenezer
PLATT
vi. Elizabeth LEWIS b. Huntington 1761 m. Huntington 27 April 1778 Daniel
FURMAN of Hempstead. I have a line from this couple too. A
second-cousin marriage in 1830 between Epenetus FURMAN [1805-1879] and
Susan Amelia LEWIS [1813-1842] .... these are my g-g-g-grandparents.
vii. Amelia LEWIS bap. Huntington 9 Sept. 1770
viii. Naomi LEWIS bap. Huntington 7 January 1776
I really don't like the way Seversmith divides the boys and girls. You get
a garbled birth order.
There's a problem with #vi. Elizabeth .... she's given no data in
Seversmith's LEWIS section, but is identified in the FURMAN section as the
daughter of Joseph and Naomi. Given the fact that I have seen nothing to
say otherwise and the fact that this Conklin-Furman-Lewis cluster seem to
inter-marry I'm accepting this....and have for over 20 years, but would
change if anyone had proof, one way or the other.
