Hi Conklin Researchers,
This message has appeared before, but it has been several months so
thought I would post again. I am searching for info on my ggg-grandfather
James Conklin b. 6/22/1818 in NewYork m. Hanna Unknown before 1839 in
NewYork, d. 6/18/1880 in Lawton, Van Buren County, Michigan. James had at
least 2 siblings Eliza b. about 1826 in New York and Artson (not sure on
spelling) b. about 1826 in NewYork, maybe twins? I believe his mother's name
is Sarah, have been unable to locate name of father. James, his wife Hanna,
his sibs and his mother appear on the 1850 cencus in Pompton, Passaic County,
New Jersey. James is listed as head of household and I am assuming his father
is dead. The family information I have is as follows.

Artson Conklin b. about 1826 in NY
James Conklin B. 6/22/1818 in NY, m. Hanna Unknown b. 8/18/1818 in NY,
before 1839 in NY. They had at least 7 children.

Belle Conklin b. about 1857 in MI
Mary Conklin b. about 1860 in MI

As you can see this family presents a challenge as they did not stay in one
place for very long, and there was alot of activity between 1880 and 1900
that is untraceable with census records. Michigan privacy restrictions
haven't helped either. Any help would be most appreciated, have primary
sources and some photgraphs to share on this family and related branches.
