Amy Johnson, daughter of John Johnson of Haverstraw, was born about 1760. The 1800 census has her between ages 26-44 (b. after 1756); the 1810 census has her 45+ (b. before 1765).
Amy Johnson married (1) Ezekiel Conklin and they had 12 children which are named in Ezekiel's will of 9 November 1811: Sarah, John, Matthew, Johnson, Elizabeth, Mary, Hannah (wife of James Wardell), Vinc[ent], Nancy, Benjamin, Clarissa and George.
The 1800 census of Haverstraw, Rockland County, New York has Ezekiel and Amy Conklin next door to John and Mary (Cooper) Johnson, Jr. The Johnsons moved to Pompton Plains, Morris County, New Jersey the following year. Living next door to each other reinforces Amy's relationship with brother John Johnson, besides the 1805 probate record of their father, John Johnson of Haverstraw where it is mentioned Ezekiel Conklin is a brother-in-law to John Johnson, Jr.
An official record of Amy Conklin is as Executrix of her husband's estate when she files the inventory dated 19 May 1812. Probably buried with husband, but uncertain at this time. Greer Cemetery has a small stone with the initials "EC" which probably marks the grave of husband Ezekiel Conklin.
She appears as the head of a household in Haverstraw in 1820: "Amy Conklin, wid[ow]" aged 45 years plus with adult children living with her. On 7 November 1820, she is married (2) at the Dutch Reformed Church in Manhattan, New York City to businessman Henry Denny, Sr. (1758-1839). Amy's son, Johnson Conklin, carpenter appears in Manhattan as early as the 1810 census. At various times in the New York City Directories, Johnson Conklin was listed as a carpenter: 1805-1810, N. Moore Street; 1810-1814, 6 Lispenard Street; 1815-1818, 219 & 197 Church Street; 1820-1824, 60 Sullivan Street and finally the last entry in the city directory 1825, 534 Broome Street, around the corner from his Sullivan Street address. Visits to son Johnson likely made the opportunity for Amy to meet her second husband, Henry Denny.
In early 1824, the couple of Haverstraw, New York are selling 89 acres of land there that was the homestead of Ezekiel and Amy (Johnson) Conklin and the funds are distributed amongst the surviving Conklin children [Rockland County, NY Deeds, D-200, 10 April 1824]. This likely marks the couples' departure from Haverstraw and moving to Manhattan and is the last public record of Amy. Brother John Johnson and his wife, Mary were also in Haverstraw at the same time in January 1824 selling the last of their land there.
According to New York City Directories through the 1820s, Henry's son, Lewis is listed as a cooper and consistently appears at 69 Stone Street, a location near Williams Street and in the oldest part of the city near the tip of Manhattan Island. By the 1830 census, Lewis Denny's household includes a male age 70-79, correct for father Henry Denny, Sr. No female of comparative age appears there, so Henry's second wife, Amy (Johnson) (Conklin) Denny had died by this time. As mentioned above, she is likely buried with her first husband, Ezekiel Conklin.
