Therefore, I believe the William Conklin who married Jannetje Brouwer March 16, 1771 is not the same man as above. The birth record of Nicholas Conklin states his both parents 1777.
Nicholas has a birth record, and his mother is my relative, and his father is indeed a William Conklin. However, I can't see how this William Eli Conklin, with a marriage to Hester in 1774 could be the same man married to Jane Brouwer in March 16, 1771 RDC Dutchess Co NY. Jannetje Brouwer-1548.
Question: how did you previously connect Nicholas Conklin,named for his paternal Uncle Capt. Nicholas Brouwer, Jr of Dutchess Co NY to William Eli Conklin? How could William be married to 2 women at the same time? Let's work to get this correct. Thank you so much. Lilly Martin
