I also have all the info you share on my branch of the Tompkins family. This is indeed my branch. Joshua is the middle name of my great grandfather his first name was Egbert and he and Sarah Jane are listed in some census records as Egbert Joshua and E. Joshua Tompkins. My grandfather was the youngest of the Joshua Tompkins children - Jesse (whom you found at age 19) his older sister Edith (Aunt Edith - whom I met as a young boy married into another Tompkins line - that of Thaddeus or Uncle Thad). Augustus (Uncle Gus) was a joint owner with my grandfather (Jesse) of a farm in Dutchess County, NY. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
