Henry Tompkins was born on 3 November 1811 at Paris, Oneida, New York, USA. He was the son of Nathaniel Tompkins and Content Coniff.

J. Quincy Tompkins Quince worked in various retail stores, including the one in Maxon in early 20th century. In his later years he was a tour guide at the State Capitol Building and also did a little baby-sitting for his great grandchildren, Jerry and Sandy Tompkins. He operated the restaurant in Olivet briefly, which is why Paul Dewey was born there. Later moved to back to Maxson corner where he operated a grocery/mail service with his brother, Fred Logan Tompkins. He later managed the Melvern I.G.A. store, then moved to Topeka when it changed ownership. He bought the house at 120 Roberts, Melvern, after the birth of his daughter, Edith Lucille. He was a Republican. It is generally believed that his given name was Quincy Tompkins, that he adopted the initial J. at a later date. His sister, Lucille, always said this was because many people addressed mail to him that way so he just started using the J. His son's application for a Delayed Birth Certtificate lists only the name, Quincy. The J. has been added due to popular use by Quincy and family members. Attached photograph entitled Tompkins/JQFam/Young was taken circa 1908 and depicts (left to right) Edith Lucille, J. Quincy, Ernest Lance, Paul Dewey, Raymond Evans, and Ivah Gale. Research: Family members, Jerry Tompkins, Paul Tompkins, Edith Lucille Tompkins, newspaper obituary, and headstone. See photo of headstone. 1905 Census Records.

Ivah Gale Thompson Headstone (Melvern Cemetery) reads "Iva" but family Bible reads "Ivah." This same variation is found in a number of places.

Moses Tompkins Research: Ancestral File, FHL. He was born on 6 September 1766 at New York, USA. He was the son of Nathaniel Tompkins. Moses Tompkins died on 10 September 1768 at age 2.

Nathaniel Tompkins Spelling of last name in Eastchester records consistently is "Tomkins." Moved from Milford, CT to "Ten Farms" in Eastchester Co., NY in 1665, according to Purdy and R. A. Tompkins. FIRST NEW YORK CITY COWBOY. The following is a proclamation of E. Andross, Governor of the Colony of New York. "Whereas I am given to understand that they are diverse stray horses within the Jurisdiction of Westchester and Eastchester and parts adjasant which are not markt or recorded according to law an have no proper owners as being nott by any given in to law and have no proper owners as being nott by any given in the Actes and are very damegabell to the contery These are in his Majesties name to authorize and appoint you Nathanell Tomkins of the Town of Eastchester to seize upon and acquire any such horses as strayes for his majestie and public use and to bring them to the next Justice of the Peace or Constable or overseer for their due conviction as above according to law and from time to time made a due return thereof unto the High Sheriffe and for your pains and truebell hearing ye half to be allowed your fee which shall be your sufficante warrante for the space of one whole year next insuing the date hereof Given under my hand in New Yorke this 6th day of December, 1676 this order to be recorded at West and East Chester." There are no changes in original text or punctuation. Keep in mind that Eastchester today (1994) is adjacent to Brooklyn, New York. He often served town as Fence Viewer, Deputy Constable and Constable. While serving as constable 2 JAN 1681, he was instructed by the town council to "to cause a good pair of stocks on the village acct to be made." This would be a reference to punishment stocks where the Constable would place an offender who had violated the Sabbath, not kept his fences in good repair, etc. 1 DEC 1683 he was appointed along with two other men to "go into the woods with the Indians which are understood to lay claim thereunto the above said land (Eastchester). These said men are appointed to mark out the land with the pattain of Eastchester and go and know what the said Indians do ask for th said land and bring report to the rest of the inhabitants." Signed the patent (pattain) of incorporation of the Town of Eastchester, 25 NOV 1668. Town had been settled earlier but this agreement made ownership of land in the area official. Although he was senior in age to his brother, John II, it appears John may have suffered failing health in his later years as land was transferred to Nathaniel. Also, although both held similar posts of responsibility, Nathaniel on the whole appears to have been in more of a leadership position. It is also possible that Nathaniel moved to Eastchester earlier than John. Both probably migrated from Milford, CT. Research: R. A. Tompkins is one source for move to Eastchester. See Tompkins-Tomkins Genealogy, Tompkins, Robert A. and Clare F., published 1942, FHL film number 1321290. Referred to as a yeoman in Essex County Probate Files, Docket 27,800 (in the matter of the will of his father, John); Also referred to as living in Salem. Name is spelled "Nathaniell Tompkins." This would indicate both a freeman and a skilled laborer or tradesman. He is mentioned as oldest son in will of father, John, dated 30 JUN 1681, Salem, Essex, Massachusetts. GENEALOGY OF THE ANCESTORS OF ELIAS QUEREAU TOMPKINS, by George J. and Ruth T. Purdy Records of the Town of Eastchester, FHL film no. 0824106, have extensive references to Nathaniel and his brother John (John I). Ancestral File of the FHL. Moved from Milford, CT to "Ten Farms" in Eastchester Co., NY in 1665, according to Purdy and R. A. Tompkins. The Tompkins Genealogy says that he moved from Milford, Conn. to "Ten Farms", Eastchester Co., NY in 1665. A footnote in Early Wills (page 279) states that Nathaniel was living in Fairfield, Conn, in 1649, and settled in Eastchester in 1664. Nathaniel's will is dated Sep 2, 1684, and was proved Nov 19, 1684. It begins: "In the name of God, Amen. I, Nathaniel Tompkins of Eastchester, make this my last will and testment, being in perfect memory, Blessed by God." In it he names his brother, John and Nathaniel White, and his wife, Elizabeth, executors. He left his wife use of 1/3 of the upland and meadows, and the use of both the houses, and home lot during widowhood. His only son, Nathaniel, was to have the use of the rest of the estate, and he also left $10 to each of this 4 daughters which he then named. The inventory of his estate and its value lists the following: "home lot and all ye housing" $80; 11 acres of meadow $30; "13 acres of upland already layed out and manured, and about 21 acres of upland undivided" $15; 2 oxen $8; 3 cows $9; "two 3 year olds" $5; one Bay Horse lent to Mr. Gibbs" $6; 20 sheep $8; 10 swine $5; "his waring clothes" $5; "his gun and sword" $1. All figures with $ are English pounds not American dollars. He was christened in 1633. He was born in 1633 at Fairfield, Fairfield County, Connecticut.1 He was the son of John B Tompkins and Margaret Goodman. Nathaniel Tompkins married Elizabeth White between 1664 and 1682. Nathaniel Tompkins left a will on 2 September 1684 at Eastchester, Westchester County, New York, Will proved: 19 Nov 1684, Eastchester, Westchester County, New York.1 He died on 6 September 1684 at Eastchester, Westchester County, New York, USA.1

Abram Tompkins His parents were very poor and he left home at age 10 to earn his own way. He eventually moved to Michigan in 1831, possibly with a brother or uncle. While in Michigan he enlisted as a private to fight in the Black Hawk War. Met his wife after discharge in Michigan. In 1839 he sold some land to a John Eaton, probably a relative of his wife. Continued to live in Michigan until 1853, where most of his children were born. Settled in Otter Creek Twp., Tama County, Iowa 14 NOV 1853. Settled on the right bank of Otter Creek, NE 1/4 of Section 29, Otter Creek Twp., Tama County. Planted the first wheat in the township. Was first a Whig, later a Republican. Held various local offices. Represented Tama County in the Lower House of the Iowa Legislature when it convened 8 JAN 1860. Left all of his real and personal property to his wife at the time of his death. He owned approximately 400 acres of land, all of it near his original homestead (see will). The attached photo depicts Abram and his five brothers/sisters says "Grandpa and his brothers and sisters in Iowa" on the back, and Ernest L. Tompkins and Edith Lucille Tompkins have identified it as a family photograph they were told by their father, J. Quincy, to be that of Abram and siblings, but no individual identification is provided or known. Valentine, a brother, likely is incorrect from source Robert A. Tompkins.
