I have discovered many WONDERFUL "cousins" on the web, who have been a great help in putting together this website. Thank you Tompkins Clan member for the following information that supports what Grand Daddy and Ethan Phillips had put together. Also thank you Parris Family, for I understand that you did a lot on this too.
Joseph Tompkins b. 1770 in Wilkes Co., NC or Carter Co? d. 1834 possibly son of James Tompkins. This Clan is a part of the First Families of Tennesse.

Ethan VanBuren Phillips wrote regarding deed information sent to my grandfather: The above deed from Mary Tompkins to James Tays, Feb. 26, 1840, is the oldest Tompkins document on record in the records of Overton County, TN. There are no records of Land Grants to Joseph Tompkins, husband of Mary Jenkins Tompkins, recorded on the Records of Overton County, and this indicates to me his grants are from Kentucky, and that he came into Tennessee from Kentucky. These grants may be found on record at Burkesville, KY, county seat of Cumberland County, KY. Mary Jenkins Tompkins is in various information also referred to as May and Sal Jenkins-presumably pet names for her.
