Arthur G Thompkins (new info added)

LouiseHopkins66 — 2009-11-01 22:36:36Z

He married Letitia Jane Babcock but this is all the info I have on him and his wife. She was born on 29 July 1877 in Canada. Her parents were Henry and Sarah Moore Babcock. Henry and Sarah moved to Watertown NY and they both dies there. When Peter died in his obit it stated that Mrs Arthur G Thompkins was residing In Rochester. Any info would be most helpful.

I may have found him and his wife on the 1910 census and they have he was born approx 1876 in England and migrated to the US in approx 1890. They have 2 girls that were with them on this census Sarah and Ruth.

Geri, hopefully you're still tracking this thread. I think your Mary ties into the Thompkins/Tompkins family I've been researching for the last five years.

Two years prior to Mary's wedding, a Rachael Thompkins also married in Hardin Co, KY, and one of her witnesses was Benjamin G. Thompkins. Benjamin G. is one of the individuals I've been tracking for awhile. I just thought to look again at Hardin Co's online records, and discovered Mary & Rachael this week. I'm in the process of researching their lines before I upload an update, but you can see what I have here: http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=pgoldenman . In a nutshell, I think Mary was one of 8 siblings/cousins (3 boys, 5 girls) who moved to Greene & Jersey Co, IL; five of them then crossed the Oregon Trail. My 3ggrandmother is the baby of this group, and stayed behind in IL.

Finding James Henry Tompkins (grandson of VP Daniel D. Tompkins)

PJT1027 — 2009-08-08 15:59:32Z

my grandfather is pretty sure that we are descended from Daniel D. Tompkins the 6th vice president. i've been trying to find the link and i've been speculating. could someone help me? this is waht i have so far starting from me and my few Thompkins generations

PJ>Patricia>William>Jesse>James>Newton>(James Henry)>Griffin>Daniel D.>Jonathan Griffin.

I based my assumption on the pattern in name. my great great great grandpa Newton's father may have been James Henry so he named his son after his father. can anyone help me?

Additional Info Holt

amnor34 — 2009-06-30 14:54:39Z

I am the granddaughter of John B Holt- actually Johnny B Holt, he was the son of Ida T Ward. His son Donald is listed on here as married but he was not. Donald was killed when he was 17. My father is Bobby Holt (Robert) he is married to Darla Chestnut and they had two children, my brother, Robert Holt Jr and myself Shannon Holt Norris. I am glad this was done it is very interesting.

There was a George Thompkins based in Berwick upon Tweed as a cabinet furniture upholsterer he is named in the Pigot's trade directory for 1828-29 but there is no further mention of him in later editions as far as I can see maybe there is a connection.

Re: George TERWILLIGER Auburn Cayuga County New York

2005-02-11 16:57:54Z

Joe,

The Alice May Terwilliger who was my mother's sister was born in 1910. I have her date of death somewhere but I think it could have been in the late 80's early 90's. She was married to Nate Keener and had about twelve children. She remarried and had another son named Charles I think. He was killed in an accident as a young man.

Alice's siblings included my mother Ethel 12-27-13 to 5-25-03 and a brother Harry. There may have been another brother named Louis. Her father, George H. Terwilliger, had two sons by an earlier wife, Frank & Clifford. Her mother was Phoebe Tompkins and her father Fred Tompkins. They farmed on Route 41A near New Hope, NY where Phoebe is buried.

Hope this clears things up for you.

Hi Curtis

I'm a little confused. Your mother Ethel couldn't be the sister of the Alice Terwilliger who married Charles Burch could she? I've never been able to pin down for sure Alice's parents. She (Alice) didn't live very long and the only census I saw her in when her name was Terwilliger was 1900. She was living with her grandmother Mary (Gere) Terwilliger in Owasco. I'd appreciate it if you could fill me in on the Alice you listed as well as any other info on the family. Thanks a lot.
