CONKLING. The name Conkling is found in the early records in a variety of forms among them Conkline, Conkling, Concklyne, Conkelyne, and so on. the evidence is that the early immigrants bearing it came from

Page 56

England, so the name may be presumed to be English, though there is nothing like it in the ordinary published works dealing with English surnames. Neither in Anglo-Saxon nor in Norman French is there any suggestion of the elements that compose the name. One authority finds the root in Gaelic, which once the ancient Celtic language of the whole British Isles, is a key to those who know it for a host of name of places and persons both in Britain and the continent, apart from the places where it is still understood. This authority suggests that the name Conkling is derived from Conghailen, the ancient Celtic form of the Gaelic name, Connelan, transplanted to England. There is extant an interesting pedigree of this family carrying back to ancient Milesian times. Whatever the origin of the name it appears that it was first anglicized, and then Americanized, and that the first bearers of it here were Annanias and John Conkling, or Conkelyne, who were in Massachusetts a little before the middle of the seventeenth century. The evidence is that they came from Nottinghamshire, England, where both appear to have been born.

(1) Annanias Conkling, or Conkelyne, the immigrant ancestor of the Conkling family, and his brother John are noticed in Savage's "Genealogical Dictionary." Annanias was made a freeman at Salem, May 18, 1642. He removed in 1650 to East Hampton, and his brother John to Southold, Long Island. On an old gravestone there has been found the inscription: "Here lyeth the body of Captain John Conkelyne, born in Nottinghamshire, England, and died at Southold, Long Island, April 6, 1694, aged sixty-four years." Annanias died November, 1657. He gad children baptized: Lewis, April 30, 1643; Jacob, May 18, 1649; Elizabeth, May 18, 1649. There were children mentioned at East Hampton: Jeremiah, mentioned below; Cornelius; Benjamin; Hester, married George Miller; she was six and a half years old when her father, Annanias, died.

(II) Jeremiah Conkling, son of Annanias Conkling, or Conkelyne, was born in 1643, died March 14, 1712. He was an administrator, November 27, 1657, and afterwards his brother-in-law, George Miller, was appointed administrator. He married, in 1658, Mary, born August 30, 1638, died June 15, 1727, a daughter of Lion and Mary Gardiner, who sailed June 10, 1635, from Holland to England, then to New England, settling finally at Saybrook. Children: Jeremiah, married Jane Parsons; Cornelius; David; Lewis, mentioned below; Annanias; Mary, married Thomas Mulford.

(III) Lewis, fourth son of Jeremiah and Mary (Gardiner) Conkling, was born about 1670. There is very little in the records concerning him, though he married and was long head of a large family. His children were: 1. Elizabeth, baptized April 21, 1700. 2. Lewis, baptized January 18, 1701, married, October 22, 1724, Elizabeth Mulford. 3. Esther, September 3, 1704. 4. Mary, April 11, 1708. 5. Mercy, may 7, 1710. 6. Isaac, January 25, 1713. 7. Zerviah, January 8, 1716. 8. Cineus, mentioned below. 9. Abigail, April 16, 1721, married, October 5, 1740, Nathaniel Baker.

(IV) Cineus, son of Lewis Conkling, was born in October, 1718, baptized October 19, 1718. He married and has several children, among them Isaac, and Benjamin, mentioned below.

(V) Benjamin, son of Cineus, Conkling, was born about 1746. He married Esther Hand. Children: 1. Cineus. 2. Alfred, mentioned below. 3. Nathaniel. 4. Betsey. 5. Phebe.

(VI) Alfred, son of Benjamin and Esther (Hand) Conkling, was born at Amagansett, Suffolk County, New York, October 12, 1789, died February 5, 1874, at Utica, New York. He was a prominent jurist. He graduated at Union college in 1810, studied law, and was admitted to the bar in 1812. He was district attorney for Montgomery County for a period of three years, and was elected to congress as an anti-Jackson Democrat, serving from 1821 to 1823. He then removed to Albany and in the year 1825 was appointed by President John Quincy Adams judge of the Untied States district court for the northern district of New York, which office he held until 1852, when President Fillmore appointed him minister to Mexico. On his return from that mission in 1853, he settled at Genesco, new York, devoting himself mainly to literary pursuits. Union College gave him the degree of LL. D. in 1847. He published several substantial works that had a considerable clientele and were effective in moulding opinion in legal circles, among the, a "Treatise on the Organiza-

Page 57

tion and Jurisdiction of the Supreme, Circuit, and District Courts of the United States," and "Admiralty Jurisdiction," "The Powers of the Executive Department of the United States," and the "Young Citizen's Manual." He married Elizabeth Cockburn. Children: 1. Margaret, Cockburn, born October 29, 1814, died 1894; married a Mr. Steele. Mrs. Steele published :Memoirs of the Mother and Wife of Washington." "Isabell, or Trials of the Heart," as well as a translation of Florian's "History of the Moors in Spain," all works having a good sale, contributing also to current literature. 2. Frederick Augustus, mentioned below. 3. Roscoe, the United States senator, born in Albany, New York, October 30, 1829, died at New York, April 18, 1888. He received an academic education and studied law under his father. In 1846 he entered the law office of Francis Kernan, afterwards his colleague in the senate, and in 1850 became district attorney for Oneida County. He was admitted to the bar in that year and soon became prominent both in law and in politics. He was elected mayor of Utica in 1858, and at the expiration of his first term a tie vote between the two candidates for the office caused him to hold over for another term. In November, 1858m, he was chosen as a Republican to congress, and took his seat in that body at the beginning of its first session in December, 1859, a session noted for its long and bitter contest over the Speakership. He was reelected in 1860, but in 1862 was defeated by Mr. Kernan over whom, however, he was elected in 1864. His first committee was that on the District of Columbia, of which he was afterwards chairman. He was also a member of the committee of ways and means and of the special reconstruction committee of fifteen. Mr. Conkling's first important speech was in support of the fourteenth amendment to the constitution. He zealously attacked the generalship of McClellan, opposed Spaulding's legal tender act, and firmly upheld the government in the prosecution of the war. He was reelected in the autumn of 1866, but in June, 1867, before he took his seat, was chosen United States senator to succeed Ira Harris, and was reelected in 1873 and 1879. In the senate he was from the first a member of the judiciary committee, and was connected with nearly all the leading committees. Senator Conkling was a vigorous supporter of President Grant's administration and largely directed its general policy toward the south, advocating it in the government and by his personal influence. He was also instrumental in the passage of the civil rights bill, and favored the resumption of specie payments. As presidential candidate he received ninety-three votes in the Cincinnati convention in 1876.

(VII) Frederick Augustus, son of Alfred and Elizabeth (Cockburn) Conkling, was born in Canajoharie, New York, August 22, 1816. He received a classical education and as soon as he left college entered commercial life and in course of time became a merchant. He took considerable interest in politics, and was for a period of about three years a member of the New York legislature. when the civil war broke out he organized at his own expense in June, 1861, the eighty-fourth Regiment of New York, serving as its colonel. During July, 1863, the regiment did duty as provost guard at Baltimore, Maryland, and in 1864 it saw several months' service in Virginia. Colonel Conkling served one term in congress, from 1861 to 1863, and in the year 1868 was the Republican candidate for mayor of New York City. He was a trustee of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, a member of the geographical and historical societies, and author of various reports to the New York legislature. He also wrote numerous political, commercial and scientific pamphlets. He married Eleonora Ronalds. Son, Howard, mentioned below.

(VIII) Howard, son of Frederick Augustus and Eleonora (Ronalds) Conkling, was born in New York City in 1856. He received the first part of his education in private academies, and then went through the New York University Law School, attaining the degree of LL. B., in 1890. He engaged for a time in commercial pursuits, but after a few years abandoned them to study law. He was admitted to the bar, and later removed to Indiana and was admitted to the bar in Indianapolis, but soon returned to New York. Mr. Conkling has travelled extensively in European countries and in Mexico. He is the author of a number of

Page 58

Works, among them "the Game Laws"; "Travels in Mexico", a short biography of "The Chevalier de La Luzerne." He is a Presbyterian in religion, and a republican in politics. He was a member of the New York assembly in 1892, 1893, and 1903, and was formerly president of the Madison Square republican Club. He was a candidate for congress in 1898, but was defeated by George B. McClellan. Mr. Conkling is a well-known linguist, and is greatly interested in the propagation of the French language. He is opposed to the method of teaching language according to the old system, where the grammar and rules are the main tools of the teacher, and is in favor of the new methods by which languages are acquired as a child learns its mother tongue, that is by the oral method, using first the ear and later the eye. Mr. Conkling is vice-president of the Alliance Francaise, and is the official presenter of medals for the Alliance. His favorite recreations include driving and pedestrainism. He belongs to the Union, Metropolitan, New York Athletic, and Republican clubs, and the Saint Nicholas Society. His summer residence is at Luzerne, Switzerland.

ARKELL. The Arkells of Canajoharie, new York, are descendants of an ancient English family of frequent and honorable mention in the history of the British Empire.
(I) the American ancestor was William Arkell, who came to the United States about the year 1840. He settled on a farm in Canajoharie, Montgomery County, New York, after first going west. He was not pleased with western surroundings, saying on his return east that he would not live in a country where the men did not blacken their boots. He was a man of education and true to the traditions of an aristocratic family. He married Nary Carter in England and had issue.

(II) James, son of William and Mary Arkell, was born in Oxford, England. Among his remote ancestors were Sir Hugh Aracle and Sir George Brooks, names famous in English history. He died in Canajoharie, New York, august 11, 1902. He came to the United States with his parents and grew to great prominence in business ad political life. He was twelve years of age when he came to Canajoharie, where he was educated in the public schools and at the academy. He was for a time, interested in insurance, being connected with the local company of which the well-known Judge Spraker was president. He was later engaged in farming. In 1863 he purchased and edited the Radii, a weekly newspaper founded in 1837 by Levi S. Backus, a deaf mute. This paper was enlarged and renamed The Canajoharie Radii and Taxpayer's Journal. L. F. Allen assumed an interest at the same time, and under the firm name of Arkell & Allen the publication continued until January 1, 1866, when Angell Matthewson purchased Mr. Arkell's interest. In 1859, in partnership with Benjamin Smith, he began the manufacture of paper and cotton sacks under the firm name of Arkell & Smith. This was the beginning of an immense business which later developed and still is one of the main industries of the village of Canajoharie. During the war the firm was hard pressed for a time. William Arkell, coming to his son's assistance, however, enabled him to pull through safely and by fortunate purchases of cotton, they made a large addition to their capital. Mr. Arkell, president, Benjamin Smith, secretary, and Alan smith, treasurer. Mr. Arkell was the inventor of the satchel bottom paper sack and also the machine for manufacturing the same; this is the first on record in the United States, if not in the whole world, and the value of that patent is beyond computation to this day. Mr. Arkell became deeply interested in many other business enterprises of his town and State. He was the chief promoter and largest owner of the Mt. McGregor railroad, and for many years principal owner of the Albany Journal. He was always a power in the newspaper world where he was well known as a strong writer of editorials on political and financial subjects. He was high in the councils of the Republican party and intimately known to the greatest men of the same. He was a warm personal friend of president Grant and during his last week at Mount McGregor was a welcome visitor to the stricken general. He was

Page 59

elected state senator and was a leader in the senate. His eloquence and practical business experience rendered him a popular and valuable servant of the state. He remained active in business and retained his interest and influence until his death. He was a natural leader of men and there is scarcely an interest in the town of Canajoharie that did not have either its inception in his busy brain or receive hearty and material assistance from his abundant resource. He read widely and from his richly-stored mind could draw a wealth of interesting facts for platform or editorial purpose. Strong, convincing and eloquent, he held his audiences in closest attention and never failed to arouse the enthusiasm of his hearers, yet withal was the sound and safe man of affairs, successfully conducting his own affairs and aiding others along the road to prosperity. He was a warm friend of the American system of public schools and for many years served on the village school board. The high school building in Canajoharie owes its erection and subsequent usefulness largely to his untiring advocacy of better educational facilities for the youth of his village. He developed the water power which turns the mill machinery and patented many of the devices now used in making cotton bars and their later substitute made of paper. He acquired large tracts of land and village property which he improved. Nothing lay idle under his ownership nor did he wait for the enterprise of others to enrich his holdings. He was a member of the Masonic order, and was liberal in his religious ideas, helping all denominations regardless of their sect, and aiding every enterprise of value to the community.

He married, July 23, 1853, Sarah Hall, born September 18, 1835, daughter of Ebenezer and Elizabeth (Philip) Bartlett, of Massachusetts, and granddaughter of Joshua and Sarah Bartlett, of Blanford, Massachusetts.

Canajoharie, and is now also president of the Beech Nut Packing Company, of the same place, and the Arkell Safety Bag Company, of 95 Broad Street, New York City. He is a member of the University, Lotus and New York Athletic Clubs. Politically he sustains the principles of the republican party, and was a presidential elector in 1904, placing Theodore Roosevelt in the presidential chair.

FULLERTON. The family name, variously spelled Fullerton, Fullarton, Foulerton and Fowlerton, is quite widely extended through out the British Isles. In Scotland, says the

Page 60

Hon. Walter C. Anthony, "It is traced back, like the genealogy of every well regulated Scotch family, to a very ancient day, and to divers mythical ancestors. The claim is made that these old time worthies were the hired masters of the hawks to the Stewarts (later the royal family of Scotland) and that the family name was derived from that circumstance; they were Fowlers or Foulers and their Keep or castle was the Fowlers' town. If let free to guess for myself I should suspect that they were originally a group of bleachers or fullers, and their hamlet became known from the vocation, while they themselves took their name from their family home." A fuller was one who thickened or whitened cloth. There are records in England, particularly in the hundred rolls, of forms of the name such as Le Fuller and Le Fullere, with their Latinization Fullo.

Fullerton or Fullarton is a burgh or estate at Itvine in Ayrshire, Scotland, to which place, according to one authority, the family is traced as early as 1371. One of the name was the rector of the parish church at Stratford on Avon, England, for many years in the eighteenth century, if the family records are to be trusted. The best authenticated statement, as to the branch of the Fullertons here dealt with, makes them come from Dublin, Ireland. The Fullertons appear in Ireland at an early date. The name figures in the "Inrolments of the Decrees of Innocents," that is, those whose property was exempt from confiscation in Ireland under the Cromwellian settlement of 1654. Cornet Neale Fullerton and Robert Fullerton were mentioned in the Irish inrolments of the adjudications, referring to the arrears of the commissioned officers who served Charles I and Charles II, in the wars of Ireland before the fifth day of June, 1649.

(I) William Fullerton, the first American ancestor of the family of the Fullertons here dealt with was born in Dublin, Ireland, died at Newburg, Orange County, New York, in 1786. He first settled on his arrival in this country at the old town of Minisink, Orange county, New York, and became one of the pioneer farmers of the neighborhood. He married Sarah Cooley. Children: 1. William, mentioned below. 2. Daniel, born March 21, 1767. 3. Samuel, June 2, 1769. 4. Phineas, July 5, 1771. 5. Sarah, April 11, 1773. 6. Jane, December 23, 1775.

(II) William (2), eldest son of William (1) and Sarah (Cooley) Fullerton, was born March 3, 1765, died at Minisink, Orange County, New York, February 21, 1817. He was a farmer, but engaged occasionally in commercial transactions and took considerable interest in the public questions of the day. He married Mary Whittaker, born April 20, 1766, died in 1840, the daughter of Benjamin Whittaker, who removed to Susquehanna two or three years before Wyoming was taken by the Indians in 1778, when his daughter Mary was about twelve years old. He returned to Minisink, but after peace was established removed and located at the Cookhouse, on the Delaware. Mary remained in Minisink, her marriage with William Fullerton having then taken place. Mary (Whittaker) Fullerton was one of the few survivors of the terrible Indian massacre at Wyoming. She was among the fugitives who fled from Wyoming Valley after witnessing the horrors of that famous massacre. Among the school children whose faces were marked with paint by Brandt in order that their lives might be spared by his followers was this Polly (Mary) Whittaker. She with her parents and other children fled through the wilderness towards their former house in Orange County. Children: 1. William. 2. Daniel. 3. Stephen W., mentioned below. 4. Elizabeth.

(III) Stephen W., son of William (2) and Mary (Whittaker) Fullerton, was born in Minisink, Orange County, New York, in 1793, died in 1855. In addition to working on the farm he held various public offices from time to time. He was a justice of the peace for sixteen consecutive years; for one term 1837, a member of the assembly and in 1840 appointed "Associate County Judge" of Orange County, an office under the constitution of the state then in force, resembling in its functions the justice of sessions of more recent times. This position he held for five years.

These offices, while unimportant in themselves, show that Mr. Fullerton was held in esteem in the community in which he lived. It may be that the fact that he held theses offices and the nature of the business to

Page 61

which they led him to give more or less of his time, had some influence in leading three of his sons to adopt the law as their vocation. The Hon. Walter C. Anthony says of him: "He was a man of great strength, close built and stocky, unusually quick and active, both physically and mentally, sympathetic, generous, and kindly. His complexion was sandy, and his hair was somewhat brighter in hue than 'auburn' in his early days. He sometimes spoke of himself as 'old sorrel.' As illustrative of his physical strength and courage and his loyalty to a comrade, though in this case it was only a dog, I give this instance, which is told me by one of his sons. One Sunday afternoon he was looking after his cattle in some of the back fields of his farm; his only companion was his dog and his only weapon was his walking stick. In some way the dog managed to get into an altercation with an old she wild cat and was rapidly being converted into strips and shreds. That was enough to arouse the Fullerton fighting blood and the old gentleman went to the assistance of the dog. When the contest ended Mr. Fullerton was decidedly the worse for wear and his clothing was in tatters but the wild car was dead. Mr. Fullerton had finally got her by the throat and literally choked her to death."

He married Esther Stephens, the daughter of Holloway Stephens. Children: 1. Daniel, born February 10, 1814. 2. Elizabeth, married peters Mills. 3. William, maintained below. 4. Mary, married Coe Mills. 5. Holloway S. 6. Stephen W., mentioned below. 7. Peter P. 8. Benjamin S. 9. John Henry. 10. Elsie T., married John H., Decker. 11. Esther I., married a Mr. Wallace. 12. Frances E., married Isaac Halstead.
(IV) Judge William Fullerton, second son of Stephen W. and Esther (Stephens) Fullerton, was born at Minisink, Orange County, New York, May 1, 1817, died at Newburg, Orange County, New York, March 15, 1900.
