Surname Saturday - TOMPKINS (England to colonial Rhode Island)

It's Surname Saturday, and I'm "counting down" my Ancestral Name List each week.  


I am in the 7th great-grandmothers and I'm up to Ancestor  #739, who is the mother of Deliverance LNU, whose parentage I don't know.  So I'll go to the next number in the ancestor name list with a known ancestor, which is #741 Elizabeth TOMPKINS (1675-1729) 
[Note: the earlier great-grandmothers and 7th great-grandfathers have been covered in earlier posts].

Ralph Tompkins has a sketch in The Great Migration, Immigrants to New England, 1634-1635, Volume VII, pages 68-72.  The sketch does not include a son named Nathaniel Tompkins, born about 1610, so the parentage of that Nathaniel Tompkins may be in error.  I haven't figured that out yet!

The records for some of the family of Nathaniel Tompkins, born 1650, are in the book:

Benjamin Franklin Wilbour, Little Compton Families ( Little Compton, R.I.: Little Compton Historical Society, 1967).
