Tompkins DNA Testing Will Help ALL of US

DHicks76 — 2009-10-25 18:34:37Z

We need more male Tompkins participants in the Tompkins DNA project. With each participant, chances of hooking up your lineage to the correct colonial ancestor and ancestors across the pond increase, esp. when you share your herediatary society acceptable lineage, meaning, you have documentary proof to hook up each generation to the next.

If even only half of the Tompkins on this message board would get tested (or get your male counterpart, i.e., father, uncle, brother, or son to do so for you), maybe we could get some answers to the many queries.

The various DNA testing companies are constantly running specials. I have my Tompkins results posted on ysearch, ancestry.com, and at the Tompkins DNA project on worldfamilies.com.

Please get tested and share your results so we can ALL benefit from our ardous research into our Tompkins lineage.

Thank you!

Re: Hugh Banks Tompkins/ Eubanks Tompkins

rickgunn1 — 2009-09-26 21:38:16Z

Russell, he was my Great Gandfather. One of his sons- Hugh Banks Tompkins Jr died in 1918 of the Spanish Flu epidemic. My Grandmother- Carrie Tompkins McDonald was the daugher to Hugh Banks Tompkins. Family history has it H B Sr. was robbed and murdered (with the body being set on fire and found in a ditch)somewhere between Tift County and his home is Southern Worth County. He is buried in family cemetary on property that is now owned by my first cousins. One of my cousins said the Tompkins came to Worth County fron Heard County (near Newnan GA). There is a Tompkins Cemetary west of Newnan which I have never visited.

pgoldenman — 2009-09-25 05:36:50Z

Cathy, can't remember if we've corresponded before or not. The Thompkins/Tompkins of Greene & Jersey Co, IL hail from Hardin Co, KY. As best as I've been able to determine John is the eldest of 8 probable siblings/cousins, 3 boys and 5 girls; 5 of them crossed the Oregon Trail. I just found two of the sisters this week, so am researching my way down their lines before I upload an update. It's taken me about 5 years to research this group, and I've only been able to narrow it down to a county instead of an entire state. I likely need access to Hardin Co area wills to get any further back (and pray the will wasn't in VA - too many Tompkins).

Hi, there is a message on this site concerning the Clan of Tompkins, you can search the volumes of the Tompkins family tree. I know that not all the data is correct, but you may get lucky and find a link to what you are looking for. Of course you then have to try and validate the data!
I do know that the children of those you are looking for are listed in the book

Re: Walter DeWitt Tompkins, Dutchess Co., NY

carolh165 — 2009-05-02 00:18:42Z

I have in my branch of Vails a marriage between Julia A. Vail and William A. Tompkins. I believe William was living in Hyde Park, Dutchess Co. New York at the time of the marriage sometime shortly after the 1870 census. Hyde Park is very close to Pleasant Valley. The Valentine middle name of one of the children of your Walter caught my eye as my branch of Vails is linked to the Valentine/Valyntin family very early on. Nehemiah Veal/Vail dob 1719 married a Mary Archer whose mother I believe was Elizabeth Valyntin. Nehemiah, Mary, and Elizabeth all were in Westchester Co. New York, but Nehemiah and Mary raised their family in Dutchess Co. They had children: Daniel, John, Abigail, Freelove, and Elihu. Elihu died a young man but the others all raised families in Dutchess with the exception of Abigail who with her husband Daniel Lawrence went to Canada after the Revolution. Nehemiah was said to have gone to Canada sometime after 1790 with his second wife unknown Deane. This info is mostly from the Alfred Vail Index Reference available to me through Heritage Quest. Nehemiah's parents and siblings are unknown to me although I suspect he may be the son of Arthur Vail.

She was born in England to Catherine and Robert. Any help would be appreciated. Joseph was born in 1867 and Emily was born in 1866. I have information on Emily up until she came to the US and married Joseph.

Re: Tompkins, Annie

majseventh — 2009-03-19 08:51:29Z

I believe I have found the last name she had and that was Fonseca. She married Arthur Wellington Fonseca, born October 8, 1879, Centerville, Alameda, California. She is listed on the 1900 census with his family and a baby name Wilheminia or something, but I believe it is Hattie Adrienne Reilley. I found her birth certificate listed in the San Francisco morning call with the name of Fonseca as the father, but I do think that it is James Joseph Reilley that is the father. They misspell Reilley in the census. Just look for Arthur and look at the bottom. Also, in the 1930 census I find the two. Hattie is Arthurs mothers name?
In 1900 they were in San Jose and by 1918 they were in Daly City and in 1930.
I think they both must have passed between 1930 and 1940. I can't find them. Please respond if you find anything.

A poster over on the Dutchess Co., NY board found Abbie Noyes Tompkins obituary on this site: http://www.fultonhistory.com/
and I was able to find obits for all of my Tompkins family members there as well.

Unfortunately all but one of Walter and Abbie Tompkins children died before they did. Three of them died within a 5 month period, 2 from the flu, and one of spinal meningitis. The other daughter died 3 years after she married of polio.

Walter DeWitt Tompkins b. Jun 1869, NY, d. 23 Feb 1942 in Millbrook, Dutchess Co., NY.

Abbie Victoria (Noyes) Tompkins b. 30 Jul 1873 in North Head, Grand Manan, Charlotte, New Brunswick, Canada, d. 01 Aug 1942, Dutchess Co., NY.

Percival Noyes3 Tompkins, b. 29 Jan 1896 in Charleston, Maine, d. 04 Nov 1918, Dutchess Co., NY.

Re: Walter DeWitt Tompkins, Dutchess Co., NY

warmsock — 2009-05-05 22:09:10Z

Thanks Scott, but I have Walter and Abbie located on the census through 1930. I know that Abbie died sometime between 1930 and 1945, as she is mentioned as deceased in her brother's obituary in 1945. I also have Walter Valentine through the 1930 census.

Percy was living with his maternal grandparents in Maine on the 1910 census, and I have been unable to locate him yet after that.

I only have Elizabeth through 1910, I assume she married between 1910-1920. I have Kathleen living with her parents in 1920, and I assume she married between 1920-1930. I have no idea who either of them married.

I only have Everett through 1910, again I haven't been able to locate him after that yet.

I am looking for death dates and places for Walter DeWitt Tompkins, and his wife Abbie Victoria (Noyes) Tompkins. Walter was born in Jun 1869 in NY (prob. Dutchess, Co.). Abbie was born 30 Jul 1873 on Grand Manan Island, New Brunswick, Canada. They married 12 May 1892, in Ocala, Marion Co., FL.

Walter had a dairy farm in Pleasant Valley, NY.

I am also interested in more information on their children:

Elizabeth Lake Tompkins,b. 12 Jun 1899,Charleston, Maine
Everett Robinson Tompkins,b. 28 Jul 1901,Lithgow, New York

Children of Daniel Hyatt, Griffin, Mangle Minthorne, John Ray, and Clinton Tompkins

Hi,

Not sure about their death dates but just wanted to share some census info:

1900 Federal Census, Dutchess Co., NY (ED 41, Stanford, Jun 19, 1900, Sheet 12B) lists Walter D. Tompkins as a 32 year old farm laborer born June 1868 living in rented home in Stanford with wife of 8 years Abby age 26 born July 1873 (she was born in Canada, her parents Maine, had total of 2 children, both still alive) 4 year old son Persevil born Jan 1896 and 1 year old daughter Elizabeth L. born Jan 1899. Both children born in New York.

1910 Federal Census, Dutchess Co., NY (ED 89, Washington Township, part of Dist 2, Apr 29, 1910, Sheet 7A) lists Walter D. Tompkins as a 41 year old farm manager living in rented farm in Washington Township with wife of 18 years Abbie N. (Housewife, she was born in Canada, came to US in 1892, her parents Maine, had total of 5 children, all still alive as of 1910 census) 11 year old daughter Beth (census indicates she was born in Maine (school), 8 year old son Everette (school), 6 year old son Valentine (school) and 2 year old daughter Kathleen M. Oldest son Persevil was not recorded, could be that he died before the 1910 census was recorded.

Hope this is new info for you,

Regards,
Scott T.
