                                     Nathaniel Tompkins Munsell appears to be consistently one generation off as he has Nathaniel I married to Elizabeth and has no wife listed for Nathaniel II. He also lists 20 MAY 1713 at Eastchester for birth, 3 APR 1785, Yorktown for death.

                                This contradicts all entries in Ancestral File and Tomkins-Tompkins Genealogy, 1942, by Robert A. Tompkins and Clare F. Tompkins

                                Their children were born at Kinderhook, New York according to Robert A. Tompkins

                                Munsell also lists him as being of Sing Sing, New York. These small towns are all close together. The dates of Robert A. Tompkins who did on site inquiries are used for this study.

                                       Nathaniel Tomkins Spelling is in dispute. He may have been one of the first to adopt the "P" in
                                  spelling of his surname, although the later records of Town of Eastchester
                                  appear to refer to a younger Nathaniel, the older being his uncle, and the
                                  surname spelling is Tomkins. Using his date of birth as a baseline, it would
                                  appear his father migrated to Eastchester after 1670.

                                  All sources list his birthplace as Concord except Munsell who lists
                                  Eastchester. Munsell also uses birth and death years of 1684-1733.
