That's information I had not known before. At the corner on Peekskill Hollow Road where the Tompkins Corners General Store is, is a historical marker mentioning that the Tompkins Corners are was settled by four Tompkins brothers (Nathaniel, Cornelius, Joshua and Reuben are mentioned on the Tompkins Corners Methodist Church as those four brothers) that moved from Eastchester. Even with that information, it's hard to place the men since there were a number of Nathaniel Tompkins that have been in Tompkins Corners, including a few that could have been at the right age to be the Nathaniel that settled in the area.
