Hi, I'm a Bedford Co volunteer genealogist, and also a close friend of some Quaker Tomlinsons in NJ. Yes, I have seen that name here in our county. I work at the hist soc every Friday and can check out a few things for you. But, if FLOYD doesn't give us too much rain, I'll heading for Annapolis in the morning and won't be working this week. The NJ/Phila Tomlinsons are concentrated on the name of "Ephraim" in every generation. They very early had mills in South Jersey, then Gloucester Co, now Camden Co. (I grew up in that area, and moved here on retirement). I can give you their pedigree chart as I drew it up for them. There is a Croyle book for sale here. I think it sells for $45 or $40 and I know nothing about its accuracy or contents.
