Through parish records of Charles River and York Hampton Parishes, the Tompkins family can be traced back to one Humphrey Tompkins who was in York Co by 1635.

This child was given the mother's name of Tompkins, The daughters were not mentioned in the will but are listed in the will of their grandfather Samuel Tomkpins in 1763.
