Family:Joseph Conkling and Unknown (2)

ADDENDUM Y-DNA was submitted by a descendant of this Joseph Conkling in the year 2009. This was part of a study of 12 Conklin men. Most of the men in the study matched Joseph’s descendant on all 43 tested markers. The ones that had a difference were only one marker off and this was usually marker DYS464d which varied between 17 and 18. The conclusion of the Y-DNA study along with documentation for some participants strongly suggest that both of these men and the other men in the study are descendants of John Conklin of Rye or the pre-1700 Westchester NY Conklins. Results of the DNA study and collateral information provided by the members of the study point to Nicholas or John Conklin, both sons of John of Rye as the ancestor of each participant’s line. At this point persons with a 17 at marker DYS464e appear to be most likely to be descendant of Nicholas Conklin and Sarah Hunt and persons with an 18 at marker DYS464e appear to be most likely to be descendants of John Conklin Jr. and his wife Mehitable or Lydia. Since Joseph Conklin’s descendant has a 17 at marker DYS464e he is probably a descendant of Nicholas Conklin and Sarah Hunt.
