"An Incomplete survey of the descendants of Aaron and Louvina Goldman Conklin" by Earl R. Brown, Indianapolis, Indiana. 10 November 1959
"Conklin, Aaron B. 5 April 1820 Windsor, Vermont (No record Vermont State Library)(See Civil War information below)(indicates that he may have been born in the year 1816 ref: Indiana State Library, Archives Division)(Also indicates that he may have been born in Virginia - there are two cards in their files - one for each enlistment - one says that he was born in Vermont, the other, that he was born in Virginia)
Died 31 July 1910 Indiana Old Soldiers Home, Marion, Indiana
Buried Lot No. 1732, Row 10, Section 2, Indiana; Old Soldiers Home, Marion, Indiana
Married Louvina Goldman 5 April 1846
Aaron enlisted in Company I, 36th Indiana Volunteer Infantry, from Wayne County, Indiana on 16 September 1861 at the stated age of 45 years. Promoted to 1st Sergeant from Sergeant 11 June 1863.
Re-enlisted as substitute private for Philip R. Brinkley in Company I, 17th Indiana Volunteer Infantry Regiment on 27 September 1864 at Camp Morton, Indianapolis, Indiana at the stated age of 44 years.
Discharged 14 June 1865 at Nashville, Tennessee. Complexion Dark; Born Windsor, Vermont. (Other enlistment record says Windsor, Virginia). Occupation Carpenter.
Tended toll gates at Brookville, (Franklin County) and the SOuth J Street approach to Elwood (Madison County) Indiana. Dates as yet unconfirmed.
Reported to have been a prisoner of War, confined at the POW camp at Andersonville, Georgia. Enquiry from the National Archives, Washington, DC as yet unanswered (Request mailed 19 September, with accompanying fee, as requested by GSA).
Aaron always believed he had a brother from whom he became separated when his parents became ill and died of a fever, while traveling across either Pennsylvania or Ohio (There is a report that there is a record of such an incident on file in Blairsville, Penna). There are two schools of thought among his descendants; one that the family was traveling by wagon train, the other; that they were traveling by boat, when struck by the fever. Aaron was raised by a family named Sherman, about whom, at this time, nothing further is known.
ADDENDUM - written 14 November 1959
Pension Claim No. 432817 filed 24 January 1883; apparently disallowed
Pension Claim filed 1 November 1889; also apparently disallowed
Pension Claim No. 512892 filed 16 October 1897; also apparently disallowed
Pension Claim No. 512892 again filed 18 February 1907; indications are that this claim
was allowed and paid through 4 May 1910
No mention is made of any confinement in the POW camp in Andersonville, Georgia
After leaving the service, he made his home in East Germantown; Milton; Madison County;
Muncie and Barracks 14, The National Military Home, Marion, Indiana
Contacted Sciatica in October 1863 at Chicasaw, Alabama; treated by Regimental Surgeon

Detached duty, Recruiting Services, Louisville, Kentucky, from 1 November 1864 through
30 April 1865. Detached Duty, Columbus, Georgia for the month of June 1865."
NOTE: Mr. Brown was in error referring to Louvina or Lavina Goldman. Records in Lebanon County, PA establish that her name was spelled Lavinia. He also suggests that she had two brothers - Eunice who is believed to be buried in the Military Cemetery in Nashville, Tennessee; and William who ran a store in Germantown, Indiana. Neither of these names has been verified.
The 1850 census for Miami, Montgomery County, Ohio says that Aaron Conklin was born in New York, giving us 3 possible locations for his birth and no definitive information.
Aaron married GOLDMANN, Lavinia 05 Apr 1843, Montgomery, Ashland County, Ohio by Rev. Jacob Mulford. Lavinia (daughter of GOLDMANN, John and ELLENBERGER, Maria) was born 15 Jun 1822, Lebanon, Pennsylvania; died 17 Jan 1889, Elwood, Indiana. [Group Sheet]
