I am searching for children or grandchildren who are descended from Louisa Conklin, who
lived in Oxford, KS in the l890's. I have been thinking that her children might have moved
to Sedgewick County (with its larger urban population). Conklin was a half-sister of my
grandfather, and is the daughter of Robert Davis and Mary Sarsons. Davis was born in New
Hampshire in l817, and died in Lincoln County, Nebraska in l883. His will was not settled
until l894, and Conklin was the petitioner who urged settlement of the estate. Conklin was
born in Miegs County, Ohio.
