His fishing logs mention fishing with Ernest all the time...

I'll ask my dad, he may know, but my hunch is that it was a live bait thing.. mullet probably

Hey Nebe, would that be the Horton as in Horton Point in Wading River? I assume he was a Puritan leaving CT because of persecution, which is why mostly Puritans settled in the eastern end.

I just found this which may be of some interest to you.

I didn't realize the Conklins and the Hortons were related. One of my bosses is an original Conklin (Conckling).

That is quite the family history.

Hi Frankiesurf,
Yes, that is my family. Your boss is my cousin.

Could you tell your cousin to quit being a prick ? Thanks, much obliged.
