Jeremiah Conkling Sr. was born in February 1634 at Kings Swineford, Metropolitan Borough of Dudley, West Midlands, England to Ananias and Mary Launder Conkling. I don't know when Jeremiah came to America, but he was here by 1650 when he accompanied his father from Massachusetts to East Hampton, Suffolk County, Long Island, New York. He first appears in East Hampton records November 16, 1655 when he testified that "he had been at Monchoneck (Gardiner's Island) the past winter, coming away about March 17". Also, 3 weeks prior, he heard Anthony Waters say that "Mark Meggs or others might strike Mr. (Lion) Gardiner as well as another if he stood to help the Dutchmen." Jeremiah's father, Ananias, died in 1657 and he was appointed administrator of the estate on November 27, 1657. He also entered into an agreement that same day regarding the upbringing of his sister Hester; he was to raise her to the age of eighteen. About 1658, Jeremiah married Mary Gardiner, probably in Saybrook, Connecticut, and their children were: Mary, Jeremiah Jr., Cornelius, David, Lewis and Ananias. Mary was the daughter of Lion Gardiner, first Lord of Manor Gardiner's Island, which placed Jeremiah among the important men of the town. He was a prominent citizen in town and church affairs. Jeremiah was named among the seven patentees in the Duke of York's patent to the proprietors of East Hampton on March 13, 1666. He owned a large amount of property in East Hampton and was one of the ten wealthiest men in town. In addition to running his lands, Jeremiah "sweaped ye meeting hous" for thirty years, earning wages for that. On December 18, 1669, he renewed an agreement with the local Indians concerning whaling. Jeremiah died March 14, 1711 at East Hampton and is buried in the South End Cemetery there. (Provided by John E. Sherman #47749330)
