General Notes: Husband - William Conklin

---

He was the youngest in a family of twelve siblings.
He remained with his father until the latter's death. Then, being fourteen years of age, he was bound to John Griffith to learn the shoemaker's trade. Having served his term, he worked as a journeyman shoemaker at different places in Ohio, until 1835, when he returned and settled on his farm in Washington County, Pennsylvania, where he dwelt until his death. He died within a few feet of the log cabin where he was born, in a brick mansion, built in 1862. He was a farmer. For ten years he filled the office of justice of the peace.
