Undetermined Origins
Despite numerous online trees stating it as a fact, John Conklin was not the son of Ananias Conklin and Mary Launder who married in Nottinghamshire, England and emigrated to America in the late 1630s. Please see the discussion at Conklin Families of America for more details.
Biography
It is unlikely that he was born in England where Conklin was a very rare surname. More likely he came to America from continental Europe. He settled in New Amsterdam in the 1660s.
He was living in Flushing in 1665 when he bought land in Rye from John Budd. He lived in Rye until 1676 when he sold his land there to John and Joseph Horton and moved to Eastchester where he died before 1698. He and wife Helena had children:
- Nicholas mar. Sarah Hunt
- Deliverance mar. Engeltje Buckhout
- Cathleen mar. Gerret VanWert
- John mar. Mehitabel (Tippet) Hadley; mar. Lydia ______
- Samuel mar. Annatje VanWert
- Mary mar. Barent Dutcher
- Joseph mar. Rebecca Hyatt[1]

It appears he is being mixed up with Conklin-228 .
Southold town records, volume one, page 436 In Oct, 1655 John Conckelyne Jr. Aged 25 years mentioned “this deponent’s father John Conckelyne Senior”. So this deponent was born 1655 - 25 = 1630. And his birth place is on his gravestone in Southold.

There seems to be no good evidence for the parents of this man, referred to in some of this material as John Conklin of Rye.
On the other hand, there are no records to support him being the son of Ananias. The Nottinghamshire parish registers do not record any children being born to Ananias, and those of Old Swinford in Worcestershire show only his two sons Jeromy and Cornelius. It is possible that he is missing from the transcripts available online (as it would appear is his "sister" Mary). If anyone is conveniently close to the Worcester Archives it would be well worth consulting the originals.
There are two other possible John Conklins, both possibly nephews of Ananias and John.
John Concklyn s/o George was baptised at Old Swinford 23 Jun 1621
John Canklin s/o Jacob was baptised at Old Swinford 14 Apr 1636

It would appear that linking John Conklin Sr. (Conklin-242) as son of Ananias Conklin (Conklin-72) is in conflict with Y-DNA findings documented in Honor Conklin's study of 2011. Work of G. MacKenzie cited is questionable if not debunked by DNA.
