Biography of James Tompkins:

James Tompkins is included in this genealogy, as there is a James Tompkins who was taxed in 1816 and left an estate in 1819 in Jefferson County, Georgia. We also find a Polly Tompkins and two sons living in Washington County, Georgia in the 1820 Census.¹ We believe that Polly is the widow of the James Tompkins who left the estate in Jefferson Co. and that he is a brother to Samuel Tompkins (1765-1860) and John Tompkins (1771-1840), as well as, the other Tompkins of that generation in Washington County. Our rationale supporting this is as follows:

The 1816 Jefferson County Tax on James Tompkins was for 2 slaves that he owned and no tax on any land and no poll tax on any adult males. James Tompkins 1819 Jefferson County Estate inventory was for two female slaves, a horse and saddle but no land. The lack of the poll tax and the lack of land being taxed or listed in the estate inventory suggest that James was not a landowner or resident of Jefferson County, Georgia. The 1819 estate appraisal was signed by John Tompkins, who had to be John Tompkins (1771-1840).

     James was born before 1774 at Anson Co., North Carolina.¹ He was the son of Thomas Tompkins and Mary (--?--).
