     Biography of James A. Tompkins:
We believe the parents of the James A. Tompkins is John W. Tompkins (1803 GA) and his wife, Mary (1811 SC). James A. and his family are found in Pike Co. Alabama in the 1850 Census of Pike County, Alabama in the 1855, 1860, 1866, and 1870 Census of Covington County, Alabama and in Pike County, Alabama in the 1880 Census. Our basis for this belief is as follows: The 1830 and 1840 GA Census records show that John W. had a son about the age of James A. Also the names of James A. 's male children, Samuel and William suggest he is descended from Samuel (1765)'s line. Also in the 1866 State Census, James is found next door to John W. Tompkins (1835), the son of John W. Tompkins (1803), suggesting he might be John (1835)'s brother. Also, Mary Tompkin, age 75 (born 1805 in SC) is listed as his Mother in the 1880 Census, clearly suggesting he is Mary's son.

     Samuel was born circa 1836 at Washington, Georgia, United States.¹ He was the son of Rukin Tompkins and Rachel (--?--). He married Ellen J. Massey, on 3 August 1856 at Washington, Georgia, United States.² He died after October 1862; "Samuel A. R. Tompkins went to war. He is listed in the muster roll of Co. 1, 28th Regiment Ga. Vol. Inf, Army of Tennessee, CSA, Jefferson County, Georgia, Jeff Greys or Jefferson Grays."

"Thompkins, S. A. R. (or Tompkins) - Private March 27, 1862. Substiture for K. J. N. Walden. Sick in hospital October 2, 1862. No later record."

"He must have died in that hospital because he never came back home."
