I've seen mention that he is from Germany and she is a Princess but I can't be certain she was a German Princess. There is a possibility they made their way through Holland before coming to this country. There are two headstones for them at the front of the Adams Corners Cemetery. According to a historical marker in Tompkins Corners, four Tompkins brothers settled the area in the late 1770s. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
