My Grandfather's grandfather was David Conklin, b. NJ abt 1834, d. NJ aft
1870. He married Louisa Barton, dau. of John and Mary Barton, Dec, 1854 in
a Methodist Church in NYC by Rev A E Scudder, w/ Lucinda Conklin as
witness. In 1870, he lived in Jersey City, NJ, and worked as a
" Railway Superintendant."
Children:
1. Sarah (b. 1854, alive in 1953)
2. Mary (b. 1858, m. J.J. Willey as 1st wife)
3. David (b. 1860, listed as "Mariner")
4.William Henry (b. 1863, m. Lillian Emily Willey, lived as photographer in
Jersey City, NJ)
5. Jessey (b. 1865, m. J.J. Willey as 2nd wife) - my grandfather's mother
6. Washington (b. 1867)
and apparently others
Any help on David's ancestry would be appreciated.
Thanks!
