And finally I come to my TOMPKINS. I could hardly wait until we reached the T's! By now, I'm sure you've heard more than you ever wanted to know about my Aaron Tompkins, 1735-1823, but with his multiple marriages he does get intertwined with a number of lines. My major focus now is to clearly establish the link between him and John Tompkins, b about 1700, and Rebecca Roberts who are I believe his parents. Information on his three siblings, Ichabod, 1726-1761, Jacob and Jedediah, 1736-1816 would be useful too. If I am successful there I will move on back to the 1600's and the Micah Tompkins of Newark. >From Aaron on down to the present, my information is fairly good, but I'm still working hard on the earlier generations. There must be some NJ Tompkins folk on the Essex list. I'd be delighted to hear from them. My line, from Aaron on is briefly, as follows: Aaron Tompkins, 1735-1823, and third wife Sarah Morehouse Isaac Tompkins, 1790-1857 and Nancy Condit Isaac Hubert Tompkins, 1836-1907 and Elizabeth Cooper Albert Judson Tompkins, 1875-1958 and Sara Harvey Lily Tompkins, 1901-1972 and Walter Fearn and ME Beverly Fearn Porter, Columbia, MD
Hi Beverly: I see from your descendant list that you are related to some other old families of early Newark, NJ: Condit and Cooper among them. Try getting into those families a bit and you may pick up some info about your Tompkins guy. There's also wills and property records to review, if you can get a hold of them. There are books with synopses of early NJ wills in them, as you know. Property record reviews may require a visit to the Newark historical society in Newark or the NJ state genealogical collections at Rutgers U. and in Trenton. Good luck. Nothing is easy...............
