More material written regarding the Tomkyns Clan
Dr. C. B. Tompkins wrote a book (30 pages) publiched in 1903 on part of the Tomkins from England.It is on Ancestry.Com.He begins with the group that came in the 1700s and landed on Staten Island during the time of James II reign.
He has a story about Joseph Tompkins who was born in 1739 and refers to him as "Fox Joe".However, Robert A. identifies the man with a different lineage.His father was John, my Grandfather's geat, great, great Grandfather half brother whose name was Jedediah.
