v. JACOB BRUSH. The Brush Family of Long Island
Thomas and Richard Brush were the founders of two distinct lines of the Brush family. It has been speculated that they were the sons of John Brush abt 1600, England. That information is included within this file as speculation only. I know of no proof at this time. Thomas Brush was in Southold, Long Island, probably as early as 1650 or 1651. Richard Brush was in Cambridge, Mass., in the spring of 1658. He was in Long Island waters by the summer of that year. Soon therafter they owned adjoining lands in Huntington, Long Island. Though early town and land records mention both Thomas and Richard Brush many times, and their children and grandchildren were prominent in the town for a hundred years, no hint of the relationship existing between the two has been found. The intimacy between their families is so apparent in the records it may be assumed they were brothers or perhaps cousins. There is much evidence to show that a father and son relationship did not exist; a relationship frequently stated in print as a fact. It is indicated they were both Englishmen.
When the American Revolution came, descendants of Thomas or Richard Brush were to be found not only in central Long Island but also in Westchester, Orange, Ulster and Dutchess Counties, in several towns of Fairfield County, Conn., in Hunterdon and Gloucester Counties, N.J., and in Bennington, Vt.

Rebecca Concklyne was born about 1630.¹ She died on 9 April 1670, at age ~40.¹

John Concklyne was born about 1605 in Nottingham, Notts, England. He died 23 FEB 1692/1693 in Huntington, Long Island, New York.

Descendants and Ancestors of William Concklyne/Conklin

The first Conklin or Conkling (the name is spelled both ways) to settle in East Hampton was Ananias, born in Norringhamshire, Eng about 1600. He came to Salem, Ma 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; they were still know, long afterward, as "Glass House Field". Ananias was made a freeman of Salem on 18 May 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, settleing here about 1650. Jeremiah, oldest son of Ananias, was one of the first four settlers of Anagansett shortly after 1690. The house he built there is still standing and was sold 1950 to Mrs. Donald Lam. Anagansett has been called, facetiouly, "Conklinville".
Historians will differ on some points, after 300 years. Chauncey L Ditmars, Babylon Town Historian, wrote in 1936 about the Huntington Conklins, calling the first settler of that name there "Robert". Frank J Conkling, writing in 1894, called the first Conklin in Huntington "John". Still another genealogist, Joseph Conklin Jr stated that there was a third brother named Cornelius who remainedin Salem, died there in 1667 leaving a widow who later married Robert Starr.
Ananias Conklin is thought to have owned property later C P B Jefferys and now divided by Jefferys Lane. The book "Lineal Ancestors of Susan (Mulford) Cory, " Vol 3, part 1, page 49 states that Esther, first wife of Capt Samuel Mulford, was propably dau of Ananias Conkling by his third wife, whom he married when she was the widow of Robert Rose; and that the dau was about 4 years old. Sincehe had a dau Hester, only about six years old when he died, who is thought to have married George Miller,
that seems unlikely. The writer has no proof of any marriage but the first, but there may have been others.
Annanias worked as a glassmaker in King Seinford, Stafford,England when he married Mary Lauder/Lavender, a spinster of St. Peter's Parish in Nottingham, England. the marriage is recorded in thatchurch on 23 Feb 1631. Ther first son Jeremiah was born in 1634. Between 1634 and 1636 Ananias, his brother John, and their families came to America and settled in Salem, Ma. It is believed that Mary Lauder died in Salem (now Peabody), although her grace has not been located. Her death was probably between 1638 and 1639 after the births of Cornelius and Benjamin but before Ananias's marriage to Susan in 1639. Ananias and John were granted house lots in Salem in June 1638.
The following info taken from various books on early American glass. In 1638 Lawrence Southwick, A Quaker, and Obadiah Holmes formed a partnership to build the first glass factory in New Englandwith ananias and John Conkling, practical glassmakers. Each were granted land adjoining their homes for the glass house. This land was located on the original road from Salem to Boston, and is now Abbott Street, a residential secition in Peabody. In the records of the Mass. Bay Colony, it says that the town of Salem lent the men 30 pounds for the factory to be repaid if the factory succeeded and when they were able. A descendent of Southwich was quoted as saying that bottles were made in lifht and dk green, blue and brown glass. Also, earthenware and "bull's eyes" for windows and doors were made. No samples of the work have been positively identified.
In 1639 Ananias married Susan, a member of the First Church of Salem. On 18 May 1642, John and Ananias were made freedmen of Salem and received more land. About that time they were also made freedmen of what is now Cambridge. In Vol II of Mass Bay Colony , under Oct 1645, it states that Ananias and John petitioned the General Court for a settlement with the undertakers of the factory, Holmes and Southwick. They said the works had been neglected for three years and they they had not been paid. It was at this time that Quakers were being harassed and persecuted, among them, Southwick.Ananias and John then requested a release from the agreement in order to seek work elsewhere. About 1649, Ananias and John with their families moved south and settle in Southhold, N.Y. "Southhold Town Records" Dec 1652 states the location of land holding of Ananias in Southold. "Whitaker's Southhold" shows a map of the holdings. In 1650, Ananias obtained an allotment of land in E Hampton. Heshared the meadow on the N side of Hook Pond with Lion Gardiner, Thomas Charfield and William Hedges. In 4 Feb 1656, Ananias and Lion were chosen as chimney inspectors. While in E Hampton, Ananias married Dorothy. Lion disapproved of the marriage of Mary to Meremiah. He is said to have commented that the Conklings were bottlers from Nottinghamshire and that they were farmers and handymen without large estates. Ananias died in 1657 probably in E Hampton. He is presumed to be buried in Old South End Burial Ground but no stone has been found.
