Notes

Note: History of Medina County and Ohio. Baskin & Battey, Historical Publishers, Chicago, 1881. Biographical Sketches, Guildford Township. LEVI J. CONKEY, farmer; P.O. Seville. Among the early settlers of Medina Co. that located in what is termed Guilford Township, we take pleasure in mentioning the Conkey family, who first came here in 1828. Ezekiel Conkey, Sr., with his family, were residents of Hampshire Co., Mass., and, wishing to better his circumstances in life, lived a short time successively in the States of Vermont and New York. He finally removed to Ohio in the year 1818, and located in Jefferson Co., where he lived ten years before he came to the county of Medina, and even then lived here only a short time, during which they erected a cabin and started a home in the forest. Returning to Jefferson Co., they remained there until 1833, when they once more removed to this county where they ever after lived. Ezekiel Conkey, Jr., who was born about the year 1796, followed the fortunes of the family and bought the farm in Medina Co., which he himself developed, there being 250 acres at first, a part of which he sold. Oct. 25, 1841, he was married to Elizabeth Haughey. She was born in Allen Creek Township, Jefferson Co., Ohio, March 9, 1819, her father being a native of New Jersey, and her mother of Erie Co., Penn. In 1837, they removed from Jefferson to Wayne Co., Ohio where he entered a tract of land, on which he lived until 1864, when he removed to Indiana, where he died. After his marriage, Mr. Conkey settled on the farm he had secured, where himself and wife struggled bravely and successfully with the world, and were bountifully rewarded for their labors. He died Nov. 8, 1868, having devoted the greater part of his life toward the improvement of Medina Co. Their union gave four children-Robert F. (born Aug. 19, 1845), Hannah M. (born July 9, 1847), Levi J. (born March 12, 1849 and Caroline L. (born March 18 1851). The oldest son is married and lives in Williams Co., Ohio. The daughters died young, and the youngest son still lives under the parental roof. Both mother and son are consistent members of the United Brethren Church, and have recently erected a tasty and attractive residence in the northern part of Wayne Co., to which they removed in the spring of 1880. They still retain the old homestead, and thus the county of Medina contains many associations dear to them.
