 Includes NotesNotes for Ananias Conkling:
"Conklin" or "Conkling" - both spellings are correct.

The first Conkling to settle in East Hampton was Ananias, born in Nottinghamshire, England about 1600. He came to Salem, Mass. 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; this was still known, long afterward, as "Glass House Field." Ananias was made a freeman of Salem on May 18, 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, settling 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 Lamb. Amagansett has been called, facetiously, "Conklinville."
