 DEDICATION

 these records are dedicated. 
 
PREFACE. 
 
 The present work is the outcome of a long-standingf belief, 
 that it is a duty we owe our posterity to preserve information and 
 facts of a genealogical nature; and a desire (which has become 
 almost a passion in me), therefore, to place before my "kith and 
 kin" and their descendants some facts concerning our progenitors 
 and themselves, has stimulated me in the preparation of the fol- 
 lowing pages, which, however replete they may seem to an un- 
 practiced eye, have fallen very short of my own idea of perfection 
 in such matters. Indeed, I cannot but reflect that the execution 
 of my original idea has been both lame and superficial; and I feel, 
 by experience, how unequal my ability is, without the necessary 
 assistance of others, to complete, in the manner I could wish, so 
 extensive and arduous a task. 
 
 I regret that certain portions of the original plan of this work 
 had to be expunged just before the following pages went to print, 
 owing to the aggregate expense ($203) of the printing which their 
 appearance herein would have occasioned. I refer to several inter- 
 esting articles : "Consanguinity," "The Seventeenth Century," "The 
 Eighteenth Century" (the two last mentioned of which, being sum- 
 maries of historical events, were intended to give the reader some 
 idea of the times in which our early ancestors lived, and of the 
 persons who were their contemporaries), beside a cluster of mem- 
 orable occurrences which were originally introduced in connection 
 with the nativity of each person herein. 
 
 Genealogical works infrequently recompense those who attempt 
 them, are rarely appreciated, and seldom prepared, except bv some 
 interested person, as "a labor of love." I have given no incon- 
 siderable quantity of time, labor, and money to promote this scheme. 
 I have assumed the entire expense of gathering the information 
 contained in these records. This I do not regret. Mv chief recom- 
 pense is in the pleasure the preparation of this work has afforded 
 me, and in the thought that there will be some substantial record 
 of our family preserved for future generations, and that it may 
 prove to be a matter of enjoyment and entertainment for those 
 who are honestly interested in such things. 
 
 With a view to obtaining necessary information about the 
 descendants of the original Tomkinson, and without invading their 
 rights to privacy, carefully prepared questions were sent out to 
 all known members of the various families bearing that name in 
 the United States and in England. 
 
 It will be noticed that the records of some appear to be lean 
 and meagre when compared with those of others. This is due 
 to either indifference on the part of the respective persons about 
 furnishing possible information or to a positive lack of data. 
 
In a work of this character, covering a period of two hundred 
 and eighty-four years, and embracing facts of pedigree and 
 sketches of over eight hundretl persons, inchiding alHances, doubt- 
 less errors will appear; yet, considering the lack of interest mani- 
 fested in the matter and the scarcity of material, the whole is as full and 
 attractive as possible under these unfortunate circumstances. There- 
 fore, in anticipation of the reprinting of this work and the ultimate 
 incorporation of its substance in a general history of the family, the 
 reader is earnestly requested to supply omissions and to commu- 
 nicate any corrections or additions that he or she may be able to 
 contribute, in order to make the records as complete as possible. 
 Members of the Tomkinson families are particularly requested to 
 give such facts as are within their knowledge. 
 
 I have inserted in the back of the record of each family blank 
 pages for the purpose of the registration of future births, mar- 
 riages and deaths. It is of the most vital importance that the 
 record of each family be faithfully and religiously kept, in order 
 that the whole may be placed in an accessible form for the research 
 of future Tomkinsons. 
 
 My task is over. To those who have rendered me assistance 
 and have been in svmpathy with my endeavors to perfect this com- 
 mendable idea, I wish to extend my sincere thanks.

ORIGIN OF THE NAME. 
 
 "What's in a name? That which we call a rose, 
 By any other name would smell as sweet." 
 
 Shakespeare: Romeo and Juliet, Act. ii, Sc. 2. 
 
 "Who hath not owned, with rapture-smitten frame, 
 The power of grace, the magic of a name?" 
 
 Campbell: PI. of Hope, Pt. ii, Line 5. 
 
 "A name! If the party had a voice. 
 What mortal would be a Bugg by choice.' 
 
 -Hood. 
 
 The name of Tomkinson is a patronymic, and was doubtlessly 
 derived from the Christian name Thomas. 
 
 Charles Wareing Bardsley, M. A., in his valuable work, "Eng- 
 lish Surnames" (p. g), says: "Nothing could be more natural 
 than that children should often pass current in the community in 
 which they lived as the sons of 'Thomas', or 'William', or 'Richard', 
 or 'John' ; and that these several relationships should be found in our 
 directories as distinct sobriquets only shows that there was a par- 
 ticular generation in these families in which this title became per- 
 manent, and passed on to future descendants as an hereditary sur- 
 name." 
 
 In another part (p. 15) of the same treatise, we learn that "In 
 early days the four diminutives in use were those of 'kin', 'cock', 
 and the terminations of 'ot' or 'et', and 'on' or 'en'; the two latter 
 being of Norman-French origin." 
 
 "i. Kin. The Saxon term, corresponding with the German 
 'chen', and the French 'on' or 'en', referred to above, and intro- 
 duced, most probably, so far as the immediate practice was con- 
 cerned, by the Flemings, we still preserve in such works as 'mani- 
 kin', 'pipkin', 'lambkin', or 'doitkin' * * * *" 
 
 "Hence we have derived such surnames as 'Simpkins', and 
 'Simpkinson', 'Thompkins' and 'Tomkinson'. 
 
 Also (p. 93) : 
 
 " 'Called Canton his knave 
 Curteis of speche 
 And also Tomme Trewe-tonge'. 
 
 "Thus we see that 'Tom', as the popular form of 'Thomas', 
 has been in vogue for many centuries. 'Thomas', like some of the 
 above names, received an increased impulse from the Crusades. But 
 
12 
 
 anothcrcircumstancealso befriended it. In its numerous progeny may 
 be read again the story of the feud that arose between the haughty 
 archbishop and Ilenry II, a feud that terminated so fatally for the 
 former, and made the spot where he fell hallowed for centuries by 
 the pilgrimages of shrine-worshippers. Piers, in Langdon's poem, 
 says: 
 
 'I nolde fange a fcrthyng 
 
 For seint Thomas shryne'. 
 
 "The surnames whose origin we must undoubtedly attribute, 
 in the majority of cases, to the notoriety given to the sobriquet 
 possessed by the murdered prelate are many. The patronymic is 
 clearly marked in our 'Thomasons', 'Thomsons', and 'Thompsons'. 
 The favored Norman diminutive is equally assured of perpetration 
 in our 'Thomasetts', 'Thomsetts', and 'Thompsetts' ; the Saxon be- 
 ing as fully popularized in our 'Thompkins', 'Tompkins', 'Tom- 
 kins', and 'Tomkinsons'. The softer termination is also firmly 
 Bettled in our "Thomlins", 'Tomlins', and 'Tomlinsons' ." [See note.] 
 
 "More abbreviated patronymics are to be met with also in our 
 'Thomms', 'Thorns', and 'Toms'. With so many representatives 
 in the list of rational beings, we need not be surprised to find the 
 lower order of creation under obligation to this title. It was with 
 the death of St. Thomas of Canterbury, and the consequent popu- 
 larity of his name arose so many sobriquets of which the same 
 name became the component part. The cat became a 'tom-cat', a 
 simple-natured man a 'torn-coney', a silly fellow a 'tom-noddy' or 
 'tom-fool', a romping girl a 'tom-boy' and a wren a 'tom-tit'." 
 
 .■\nd again. ^lark Anthony Lower, in "Patronymica Britannica" 
 (p. 342), says: 
 
 "Though not used here prior to the Norman conquest, this (the 
 author referring to the Christian name Thomas) has become one 
 of the commonest of baptismal appellatives and surnames. It has 
 also been a most abundant source of derivatives and nicknames 
 represented by Thomason, Thomcrson, Thomson, Thompson, Tomp- 
 ?on, Thom, Thoms, Toms, Thomaset, Thomsett, Tomset, Tomp- 
 sett, Tomkin, Tompkins, Tomkinson, Thomjjkisson, Thomlin, Tom- 
 lin, Tomlins, Thomlinson, Tomlinson. In the north, A commonly 
 represents O, and hence Thampsett, Tampsett, Tamlyn, Tamplin, 
 and probably Taplin." 
 
 Turning to the title "MacCartain, Chief of Kinealarty, County 
 Down, Ireland" in \'ol. i of "Irish Pedigrees" by John O'Hart, we 
 find the followinsj information : 
 
 Note. — "The romance form, 'Thomasine', existed till recent 
 days, and was at the zenith of its popularity in Elizabeth's reign. 
 It was found in every register of that period. It is found as 
 'Thomasing' in Worksworth Ch. (Derbyshire) : 'Thomasing. filia 
 William .Sympson, buried Jan. 31, 1640.' " [See p. 93 of Bardsley's 
 English Surnames.]

 "Tomhas : ('tomhais': Irish, to measure) : his son: a quo Mac- 
 Tomhais and MacTamais, anglicised Thomas, Thorn, Toms, Mac- 
 Thomas, Tomson, Thomson, Thompson, Tomkins and Tomkinson." 
 
 Still another authority, Charlotte Yonge, in her "History of 
 Christian Names" (p. 22), says: 
 
 "Thomas is the accepted equivalent for the Irish Tomalhaid, 
 Tonialtash, and Toirdelvach, tall as a tower." 
 
 In "Derivation of Family Names," by William Arthur, M. A., 
 we learn (p. 247) the following: 
 
 "Thomas, (Heb). A twin. 
 
 "Thomlin, and Thomlinson. From Thorn and Thoms, and ing 
 or ling, a child or descendant — son of Thomas. 
 
 "Thoms. An abbreviation of Thomas; Tom, local, Gaelic and 
 Welsh, a round hillock or knoll, a rising ground or eminence, any 
 round heap, a tumulus." 
 
 "Thomson. The sori of Thomas."

 From William, Richard, John, we get Williamson, Richard- 
 son, Johnson and probably Jones.

 LINEAGE. 
 
 The Jodrells of Yeardsley were settled at Yeardsley, county of 
 Chester, towards the middle of the reign of Edward III. 
 
 The first of the name on record possessed, together with his 
 sons, land in several townships within the manor of High Peak, 
 county of Derby, England. 14 Edward i., A. D. 1286. 
 
 His great-grandson, William Jauderell, the immediate ancestor 
 of the family, served as an archer with Edward the Black Prince, 
 Earl of Chester, in the French wars. He had his pass from Eng- 
 land dated from Bordeaux, 28 Edward III., A. D. 1355, and was 
 possessed at his death (as appears from several authentic records) 
 of lands in the township of Yeardsley-cum-Whaley, Disley, and 
 Kettleshulme, county of Chester, that have been continued ever since 
 in the family. [For complete lineage, see Burke's Landed Gentry

 ACTON. — This is a township village and large parish on the 
 road from Nantwich to Cliester. two miles west from Nantwich 
 station, on the Crewe and Shrewsbury section of The London and 
 North Western Railway. The Shropshire union canal passes through 
 to Ellesmere for Liverpool, Birmingham, Wolverhampton and 
 Shrewsbury. The parish of Acton now consists of twelve town- 
 ships. 
 
 St. Mary's Church is a fine building of red sandstone, in the 
 early English and perpendicular styles, with some remains (in- 
 cluding the base of the tower) of Norman work, and alterations 
 
22 
 
 of later date, of a debased character, and consists of chancel cleres- 
 toried nave of four bays, aisles, and a western embattled tower with 
 pinacles containing a clock and six bells. This tower was originally 
 much loftier, but a portion of it having fallen during a storm on 
 the 15th of March, 1757, it was thought advisable not to restore 
 it to its original height. At the eastern extremity of the south aisle, 
 there is a chapel belonging to the Wilbraham family, of Dorfold 
 Hall, which contains an altar tomb with recumbent effigies in white 
 marble to Richard Thomas Wilbraham and Elizabeth, his wife, 
 with Latin inscriptions dated 1661. At the east end of the north 
 aisle there is an interesting canopied monument with recumbent 
 effigy to one of the Mainwarings ; but the inscription is now almost 
 obliterated. .At the back of the monument, there are wall paint- 
 ings of heads. The church also contains a brass, with arms to 
 Wilbraham Spencer Tollenmache, Esq., of Dorfold Hall, (died 
 1890), and Ann Tomkinson, his wife (died 1871). The east 
 and west windows and one in the south aisle are stained. Some 
 fragments of early Norman arcading with figures were put together 
 and placed in the Wilbraham chapel, in 1897. The whole church 
 was completely restored in part at the expense of Mr. E. Sutton 
 Timmins. in memory of his mother. The chancel was repaired by 
 the patron, and the organ chamber by Henry James Tollemache, 
 Esq., M. P., of Dorfold Hall. The register dates from the year 
 1653. The living is a vicarage, net yearly value i-Z^Z- with eight 
 acres of glebe and residence, in the gift of Lord Tollemache, of 
 Helmingham, who is also impropriator of the great tithes, and is 
 held by Rev. Herbert Moore, AL A., of Keble College, Oxford. 
 The Sir R. Wilbraham and Huxley charities, amounting to about 
 iioo yearly, are devoted to the maintenance of eight poor widows, 
 and to apprenticing poor girls and boys. There are also three 
 charitie.s — together about ii6 yearly — for the distribution of bread 
 to the poor of the parish. Some of these charities are supported 
 by Lord Tollemache. The church lands of 24 acres, 2 rods, 37 
 perches, with houses, etc., yield £40 yearly, for church purposes. 
 
 Dorfold Hall was built in 1616, on the site of a former resi- 
 dence by Sir Ralph Wilbraham, Master of the Courts of Requests 
 in Ireland, in the reign of James i. It contains several oak paneled 
 rooms, and, among them, one with the Royal arms and the 
 inscription, "I. R. 1621" on stone. Above the mantlepiece, over 
 the fireplace, in the drawing room, are the arms, painted on stone, 
 of the three Knights of the Garter, who accompanied the King on 
 his journey to Nantwich, the Earl of Burleigh, the Earl of Derby, 
 and Sir Christopher Hatton. The drawing room contains a fine 
 ornamental ceiling with pendants and a cornice, and is a fine speci- 
 men of Elizabethan period of work. There are also several pictures 
 by celebrated painters, including Gainsborough and Hondekoeter; 
 among them is a fine portrait of Mr. Tomkinson (mentioned below) 
 
23 
 
 by Gainsborough, and a beautiful portrait of his two sons by the 
 same artist. Dorfold Hall was sold, in 1754, by the Wilbrahams, 
 and is now the property of a descendant, Henry James Tollemache, 
 Esq., M. P., D. L., J. P., who succeeded to the property which his 
 mother, the great-granddaughter of Mr. James Tomkinson, was the 
 heiress. The park extends 150 acres, and contains some fine timber. 
 
 Henry James Tollemache, Esq.. M. P., of 42 Halfmoon street, 
 London, west, is lord of the manor and principal landowner. 
 
 The soil is a good mixture, with a subsoil of sand and clay, 
 and is chiefly devoted to grazing for dairy produce. 
 
 The area of the township is 771 acres, ratable value £1905. 
 The population, in 1901, was 258.

 miles and a half northwest from Middlewich station, on the Crewe 
 and Acton bridge branch of The London and North Western 
 Railway, in the Middlewich section of the Middlewich and Sand- 
 bach petty sessional division. 
 
 The descendants of Osmerus, Lord of Bostock, in the time 
 of William L, adopted the name of the township as their surname, 
 and this lordship was held by them for some centuries. Another 
 branch of the family settled at Abington, Berkshire, and built a 
 house on the Fitzharris estate, now the property and residence of 
 Mr. J. A. Clarke, of Boar's Hill, near Abington. in which are some 
 paneled rooms with the Bostock arms. Several members of the 
 family were mayors of Abington. Towards the latter part of the 
 fifteenth century, an heiress of the Bostocks brought it in marriage 
 to the Savages. It was afterwards vested in the Whitmores of 
 Apsley. who sold it to William Tomkinson. Esq. It was acquired 
 by Thomas France. Esq., in 1793.

 brick, standing in an extensive and well wooded park, formerly the 
 propertv of the France family, and now of Col. Charles Hoskin- 
 France-Hayhurst. J. P. D. L. The site of the old hall, taken 
 down in 1803. is now occupied by a farm-house. At Bostock 
 Green, stood an ancient oak tree, now cut down, said to have been 
 placed there to mark the centre of the county. Another oak was, 
 however, planted in its place, in 1887, the Jubilee year of Her Late 
 Majesty, Queen \'ictoria, three generations of the France-Hayhurst 
 family being present. The area, 11 50 acres of land, produces wheat, 
 potatoes, oats, turnips, and some pasture, and there are 15 acres 
 of water. Ratable value, £2126. Population, in 1901, was 197.

 LINEAGE OF THE NORRIS (NORREYS) FAMILY. 
 
 The Norreys family for many centuries were settled at Sutton 
 in Lancashire, England. 
 
 In the year 131 1. Sir Henry Norreys, by his marriage with 
 Joan, daughter of Sir Thomas iVIolyneux. acquired the manor of 
 Speke, in Lancashire : his great-grandson, John Norreys, married 
 the Ladv Jane De Vere, daughter of the Earl of Oxford; his son, 
 Sir Edward Norreys, of Yattenden, Berks., England, married 
 Frideswide, daughter and coheiress of Francis, Lord Lovel and 
 Holland. This lady was descended from two princesses of the 
 house of Plantagenet, viz.: ist, Eleanor, daughter of Henry, Earl 
 of Lancaster, and wife of John, Lord Beaumont : and 2ndly, Joan, 
 daughter of Edward I., wife of Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Clare. 
 
 Sir Edward's son. Sir Henry Norreys, who married Mary, 
 (laughter of Lord Dacre, of the South, was beheaded in 1536; but 
 1-iis son, Sir Henry, who married Margaret, daughter and co- 
 heiress of Lord Williams of Thame, was restored and created 
 Lord Norreys. His eldest son, William, had a son, Francis, created 
 Earl of Berkshire, who left an only daughter and heiress, Eliza- 
 beth, who married William Wray ; and their daughter and heiress 
 married Montague Bertie. Earl of Lindsay, ancestor of Lord Abing- 
 don, in whom the Barony of Norreys now vests ( ?). 
 
 The 2nd, 3rd and 4th sons of Lord Norreys by the co-heiress 
 of Lord Williams of Thame died unmarried without issue; but 
 his 5th son. Sir Thomas Norreys, left an only daughter, who mat; 
 ried Sir John Jephson. 
 
 The families of Norris in Speke, Lancashire, and Ryecote, 
 Berkshire, England, are descended from Alain Norreys, from 
 whom William Norreys of Sutton was lineally descended. 
 
 William Norreys of Sutton, who married Joan, daughter of 
 -Sir John Mohneux of Sefton, was a direct ancestor of 
 
 Sir Henry Norreys, Knight of Speke, Lancaster, who married 
 Alice Erencis ; and was succeeded by his elder son, 
 
 William Norreys, Esq., of Speke, who married Perceval Har- 
 rington, whose eldest son, 
 
 Thomas Norreys, Esq., of Speke, married Lettice, daughter 
 and sole heiress of Thomas Norreys, Esq., of Derby, Lancashire, 
 who had issue (among others) 
 
 Nicholas Norreys of Tarleton, who was great-great-grand- 
 father of 
 
 Nicholas Norreys, Esq., of Middleforth, Lancashire, born in 
 1633. who married Dorothy Farrington ; and was succeeded by 
 his eldest surviving son, 
 
 Henry Norreys, Esq., of Penwortham, Lancashire, who mar- 
 ried, 1682, Elizabeth Preston; and was succeeded by a posthumous 
 son, 
 
 Henry Norreys, Esq., of Penwortham, who married Mary 
 Blackledge.

 Some of the English branches of the Norreys or Norris family 
 were early settled in Ireland. Some lived at Armagh, and claimed 
 descent from Sir Henry Xorris of Ryecote. who was granted a 
 peerage by Queen Elizabeth. 
 
 Nicholas Norris was a descendant of the English branch in 
 Ireland, where he was born circa 1640. The first record of him 
 in America is at Hampton, New Hampshire, where he married 
 Sarah Coxe, November 21, 1663. From him was descended 
 
 Samuel Norris, born May 17, 1759, who fought in the Revo- 
 lutionary War, and was with Col. Laommi Baldwin's regiment at 
 Sewall's Point on September 25, 1775. He was mustered into ser- 
 vice in Capt. Caleb Robinson's company, Col. Nathan Hale's regi- 
 ment (which was the 2nd New Hampshire Continental Regiment) 
 on February 4, 1777. He married IBetsy Brocklebank, by whom 
 he had a daughter, Sally Fowler Norris, born August 7, 1791, at 
 Rowley, Mass. He is buried at Canandaigua, Ontario county, 
 New York. 
 
 Sally Fowler Norris married William Towne (see "Lineage 
 of The Towne Family" above) circa 181 1, and died March 30, 
 1872, at Canandaigua, New York. William Towne died October 
 3, 1833, at the same place. 
 
 There were seven children of this marriage, of whom Mary 
 Butler Towne, born February 14, 1834, who married Joseph Tom- 
 kinson Hunter (see Hunter family in the Tomkinson records) was 
 the youngest.

 This branch is [)articularly remarkable for its characteristic of 
 longevity. The eight children of Joseph Tomkinson, b. 1784, passed 
 the 70th year: two of them the 8ist. Edmund Wright Tomkinson 
 is still living, and will be 79 on November 9, 1904. Maria Tom- 
 kinson (ITimter), tlie eldest of these children, had six children, 
 four of whom also passed the 70th year, and two are still living. 
 F.dmund .Scott Tomkinson (son of Edmund Wright Tomkinson, 
 the only living representative of the third generation) had fourteen 
 children, thirteen of whom are living. 
 
 Out of 117 descendants of John Tomkinson, b. 1758, 82, or 
 nearly three-fourths of them, are living. 
 
 It is suggested that, if the records of John Tomkinson (b. 
 1781), Samuel Tomkinson (b. 1790) and William Tomkinson (b. 
 1794) — now untraceable — present the same facts as the record of 
 the posterity of their brother, Joseph Tomkinson (b. 1784), there 
 must be probabiv nearlv 500 descendants of John Tomkinson, b. 
 1758. 
 
 Note. — It is curious that the persons representing the longest 
 and shortest lives in the fifth generation are each named Grace.

 NOTES. 
 
 TUNSTALL: This is a very busy market town. The in- 
 habitants are almost entirely engaged in the manufacture of earthen- 
 ware and in the iron business. Population about 19,492. 
 
 BURSLEM : This is not a modern town, for it was known 
 at the time the Domesday Book was compiled as Bulwardslem. 
 In the time of the Stuarts it was called the Butter Pottery, because 
 many butter pots were manufactured here. At the end of the 
 17th century the making of colored dishes, jugs, etc., was com- 
 menced here. Clay articles were not introduced until even later. 
 Josiah Wedgwood established his famous pottery at Burslem. Here, 
 also, are the Wedgwood Memorial Schools and Museum. Popu- 
 lation about 38,766.

GENEALOGY 
 
 OF THE 
 
 FAMILY OF JOSEPH TOMKINSON, 
 
 BORN PREVIOUS TO 1779, 
 
 PROBABLY IN CHESHIRE, ENGLAND. 
 
JOSEPH TOM KINSON was born 17 at 
 
 died circa 1846, at Macclesfield, Cheshire. England, at the home 
 of his daughter. Alary Ann Swindles (or Jepson). His grand- 
 daughter, Sarah Landis (nee Tomkinson, November 2, 1840), re- 
 members that, when a little girl, five or six years old. she saw him 
 (at the time a very old man) while on a visit to her aunt Mary's 
 home, in Macclesfield : and it was about the time of his death. 
 Probably came from Cheshire, England. Alarried ( i ) Elizabeth 
 Shakeshaft circa 1800; (2) Bailey ( ?), who died about the 
 
 tune of the birth of Joseph Tomkinson's grandson. William Tom- 
 kinson, in 1838. Issue: (i) Thomas (by the first marriage) and 
 (2) Mary Ann (by the second marriage). Cabinetmaker. Wood- 
 worker. Contractor for woodwork on buildings. 
 
 ELIZABETH SHAKESHAFT* was born 17, at 
 
 : died circa May. 1802 [since her son, Thomes Tomkinson, 
 (born August 15, 1801 ) is said to have been but nine months old 
 at the time of her death], probably at Middlewich, Cheshire. Eng- 
 land. If she married at the average age of marriage [twenty to 
 twenty-five years (?) ], and Thomas Tomkinson was born — say a year 
 after her marriage, she was probably born circa 1775-1780. As- 
 suming this to be the period of her birth, she was born in the 
 age when cotton spinning was performed with the aid of the hand 
 spinning-wheel. Pianoforte had been invented in Italy but sixty- 
 five years before ; the French and Indian war, with its bloody and 
 tlisastrous consequences, had taken place only twenty-one years 
 before. She was eighteen years old at the time of the Reign of 
 Terror. Robespierre and Marie Antoinette. George Washington 
 was then in his forties, and the struggles of the Thirteen Original 
 States for liberty were making a place in the history of the world. 
 Descended from a French family. Probably came from Cheshire, 
 England. Had at least a brother, Peter Shakeshaft, who died in 
 Middlewich. Married Joseph Tomkinson circa 1800. the last year 
 of the eighteenth centurv.

 Pa. (the residence of his third son and fifth child. Joseph Tomkin- 
 -son). Only son of Joseph Tomkinson and only child by his first 
 wife, Elizabeth Shakeshaft. He spent his boyhood days in Mid- 
 dlewich. Cheshire. England. Taught in a night-school when he 
 was a young man. probably about twenty to twenty-three years old, 
 since he married .Ann Hartley — one of his pupils — in 1824; another 
 of his pupils being a farmer, who was forty years old. Married 
 Sunday, July 4, 1824. in Eccles Church (Protestant Episcopal), 
 Eccles, Lancashire. England. .Ann Hartley (b. Thursday. October

 child of John Hartley (b. July 6, 1779) and Elizabeth Crossley 
 (b. June 10, 1781), having become acquainted with her while with 
 an "ice-sliding party." Thomas Tomkinson and his wife Ann and 
 the children (with the exception of John, the eldest son, who had 
 come over to Hamilton. Canada, five years and a half before) took 
 passage in the sailing vessel "Tonawanda." which left Liverpool, 
 Lancashire, on Friday, July 16, 1852 ; were forty-five days on the 
 water — they use to say "six weeks and three days" — and "three 
 days and three nights in a terrific stomi" ; and landed at Walnut 
 street wharf, Philadelphia. Penna.. on Monday, August 30, 1852. 
 John Tomkinson, the first emigrant, was then sick in Cincinnati, 
 Ohio, and died five years ami a half later in Philadelphia, Pa. 
 :\t this time, also, l"".lizabeth Shakoshaft, the first child, had been 
 dead over twciit\-four years, having died in Altrincham, Cheshire, 
 England; Elizabeth was in her twenty-sixth; John in his twenty- 
 second; Thomas, junior, in his nineteenth; Joseph in his seven- 
 teenth; William in his fifteenth, and Sarah Ann in her twelfth, year 
 of age. Before the family came to America, they lived in Ellis 
 street. Pendleton, and .Seddon street, Salford, both in Lancashire, 
 England. P.uried in Mount Peace Cemetery, Thirty-first street and 
 Lehigh avenue. Philadelphia, Pa., in lot \o. 346, sec. F, belonging 
 to his third son and fiftli child, Joseph Tomkinson. It is thought 
 that Thomas Tomkinson had no brothers. He had, however, a 
 half-sister, Mary .\nn (daughter of his father's second marriage), 
 who was twice married : first to David Swindles ; then to Richard 
 Jepson ; and has left descendants in Australia. Had issue : Eliza- 
 beth Shakeshaft, Elizabeth. John, Thomas, Joseph, William and 
 Sarah .\nn. Woodworker. Teacher. Cabinetmaker. Joiner. 
 Bookbinder. 
 
 Note. — It will be observed that there are many curious and 
 striking coincidences of circumstances in the family of Joseph 
 Tomkinson, here mentioned, and in the various other families bear- 
 ing the name of Tomkinson. For instance : Far back in the his- 
 tory of many of the families of Tomkinson, the chief business 
 seems to have been that of pottery manufacturing; and Sarah 
 Landis remembers having heard her father, Thomas Tomkinson, 
 remark that the ancestors of Joseph Tomkinson, here mentioned, 
 were in that business many ages ago. .Mso observe that the most 
 of the families originated in Cheshire ; that Elizabeth Shakeshaft 
 died, and was probably buried there ; that Thomas Tomkinson 
 spent his boyhood days there (in Middlewich) ; and that Elizabeth 
 Shakeshaft Tomkinson died and was buried there (in Altrincham). 
 It is quite probable that both Joseph Tomkinson and Elizabeth 
 Shakeshaft came from Cheshire ; that soon after they were mar- 
 ried, they went north into the next county (that of Lancaster) —

 where Thomas Tomkinson and his seven children were bom; and 
 that shortly afterwards they returned to Cheshire [for Thomas 
 Tomkinson spent his boyhood days there ( in Middlewich)] , where 
 both died: Elizabeth Shakeshaft, in Middlewich (where she died 
 when Thomas Tomkinson was but nine months old) ; Joseph Tom- 
 kinson, in Macclesfield (where his daughter lived). It will also 
 be noted that some of the Tomkinsons originated in Staffordshire. 
 Observe the number of clergymen in the family of Thomas Tom- 
 kinson, of Knightley. Stafford, born circa 1620, and that of John 
 Tomkinson, of Kiel. Stafford, born 1758. It is certainly both plau- 
 sible and colorable to theorize, that the general family of Tom- 
 kinson originated in Cheshire many ages ago; and that some moved 
 north into the next county (that of Lancaster), while others went 
 into the first county (that of Stafford) south. It is thought that 
 others went to Australia.

 landed at Walnut street wharf, Philadelphia, Pa., on Mon- 
 day, August 30, 1852. About 1854, in his sixteenth year, 
 he shipped aboard the "Vanguard," bound for Liverpool. 
 Upon landing at Liverpool, he went direct to Manchester, 
 in Lancashire, where he resided, for awhile, with his aunt 
 Rachel and Dr. John G. Butcher, at No. 12 Hanover 
 street, Shudehill. While in England, he also visited 
 his grandparents John and Elizabeth Hartley, at

 about a year, when his father sent for him to come back to 
 America ; returning to Philadelphia, in his seventeenth year. 
 He was twenty-three years old when the war broke out 
 between the North and South in the United States; and 
 enlisting at once, was mustered into service, as a private, 
 on Wednesday, May 29. 1861, in 4th Pennsylvania Reserves 
 (33rd Pennsylvania Regiment of the line), U. S. Vols., Com- 
 pany G, Captain Thomas F. B. Tapper; the enlistment be- 
 ing for three years; wounded (shot in the right leg) on 
 Wednesday, September 17, 1862. at the battle of Antietam, 
 in Maryland ; and discharged from service, on Friday, Janu- 
 ary 30, 1863, upon a surgeon's certificate. After the battle 
 
«2 
 
 of Antietam, he lay two or three days in a trench before 
 he was discovered ; and did not get into a hospital until over 
 two weeks afterwards. He was taken, first to a private 
 house at Boomsboro, Md. ; then to Hagerstown, also in 
 Maryland ; then to Harrisburg, in Pennsylvania ; and finally 
 to the Episcopal Hospital, Philadelphia. He also enlisted 
 in another regiment, the 2nd Coal (organized for emer- 
 gency), Penna. Vols.; the enlistment being for only ninety 
 days ; but this body participated in no engagement. Also 
 enlisted in the 34th New Jersey corps. Company I, Captain 
 William Otis Blood, U. S. Vols. ; enlisted as a 2nd sergeant, 
 but acted as an orderly sergeant, while with this regiment. 
 While with the 4th Pennsylvania Reserves, in Virginia, he 
 was captured during a scouting expedition, and thrown into 
 Libby prison, at Richmond, Va., where he was confined for 
 probably four to six weeks, when he was finally exchanged. 
 His first engagement was in the battle of Drainsville, Vir- 
 ginia. After he partially recovered from his wound — afflict- 
 ed at Antietam — he enlisted in the navy. He was probably 
 about two years in the army and about two years in the 
 navy during the Rebellion. Upon going into the navy, he 
 went on the receiving ship Princeton, at Philadelphia ; from 
 the Princeton he was transferred to the New Hampshire,

 sloop-of-war called the Portsmouth, at Galveston, Texas; 
 also attached to the West Gulf Squadron. While on the 
 Portsmouth he was rated as, and aboard the Memphis and 
 the Grand Gulf he was, master-at-arms. He enlisted in the 
 navy for a year; but went about seven months over his 
 enlistment. It was while upon the Portsmouth, that he 
 came into the Brooklyn navy yard at the close of the war. 
 While with the 4th Pennsylvania Reserves, he fought in at 
 least the following engagements and battles: Fair Oaks, 
 Chickahominy, Gaines Mills, Malvern Hill, Bull Run (2nd), 
 Fredericksburg, Bristow Station and Hatcher's Run — all in

 warrior and Indian chief (of the Dacotas). The occasion 
 arose in this way : During the Centennial Exposition in Phil- 
 adelphia, in 1876, he, in the care of his father, William 
 Tomkinson, happened to be near a carriage containing Sitting 
 Bull and other Indians (who were visiting the exhibition in 
 Philadelphia, on their way to the West, after a visit to the 
 "Great White Father" in Washington), when that distin- 
 guished warrior profifered to, and actually did, take the sub-

 Note. — Sarah Elizabeth Pilgrim was a niece of James Pilgrim, 
 the celebrated actor and playwright, about whom it is said, in 
 "Brown's American Stage," published in 1870: 
 
 "James Pilgrim made his first appearance at the Arch Street 
 Theatre, Philadelphia, in 1849, then under the management of the 
 late William E. Burton, in the character of Paddy Miles, in his own 
 farce of the "Limerick Boy," and established himself in public 
 
95 
 
 favor. Since that period he has appeared with success in most of 
 the large cities in the States, and his prohfic pen has furnished 
 our stage with a number of highly successful pieces, which Mr. and 
 Mrs. Barney Williams, Miss Maggie Mitchell, Miss Mary Devlin 
 (afterwards Mrs. Edwin Booth), Mr. F. S. Chanfrau, the Flor- 
 ences, and other eminent stars and artists have made specialties of, 
 and which pieces still retain their position on the stage. In writing 
 the successful comedy of "Irish Assurance and Yankee Modesty," 
 he first introduced the features of the Irish boy and the Yankee 
 girl to the American public. He is at present at the Front Street 
 Theatre, Baltimore, Md." 
 
 She was also a grandniece of Hugh Lindsay, the showman, 
 about whom the said author in the same work wrote : 
 
 "Hugh Lindsay — familiarly known as 'Old Hontz, the Clown' 
 — was born in Philadelphia. April, 1804. First entered the show 
 business, in 1819, with J. H. Myers and Lewis Mestayer, in Phila- 
 delphia. Shortly afterwards entered the circus business. In 1828, 
 he married Lydia Pauley. Died in Berks county, Pa." 
 
 And a first cousin once removed of "Sam" Sanford, the old 
 minstrel, about whom a daily newspaper had the following article 
 the early part of this year ( 1904) : 
 
 " 'SAM' SANFORD, OLD MINSTREL, DYING. 
 
 'Well-Known Philadelphian Had Reputation of Being Best 
 "End Man on Stage. 
 
 "Made His Debut Here. 
 
 "Sam Sanford, the old minstrel, is dying. News comes from 
 Brooklyn that he has suffered a severe stroke of paralysis, and is 
 now lying in a helpless condition in St. Peter's Hospital, in that 
 city. Sanford is in his 84th year. The physicians fear that his old 
 age will count against him, and his complete recovery is despaired 
 of. * * * 
 
 There are not many in the younger set of Philadelphians living 
 to-day who can recall Sanford and his glorious days of minstrelsy. 
 To the present generation Sanford is perhaps totally unknown. 
 He has been retired from the stage for many years, and has only 
 appeared in recent years at benefit performances, where his aged 
 figure added a touch of sentiment to the show, and brought back 
 to the old timers the prosperous days of the burnt-cork artist and 
 the circus clown. 
 
 Though a native New Yorker, Sanford has always been identi- 
 fied with the Philadelphia stage, and it is perhaps in this city that 
 he is best known. He has played a prominent part in local stage 
 history, and half a century ago his figure was a prominent one on 
 Chestnut street.

 San ford was born in New York, January i, 1821. * * * 
 In his childhood he showed cleverness and ability as an entertainer, 
 and a strong fondness for the footlights. After appearing vyith 
 much success in New York at private theatricals he came to Phila- 
 delphia and made his professional debut as a singer at Dan New- 
 man's ball-room, as some playhouses were known in those days. 
 He met with a flattering reception, and a short time later joined 
 hands with his uncle, Hugh Lindsay, who was playing at Allentown 
 and Reading. 
 
 With his uncle, Sanford appeared as a comic singer. But in 
 1840, at the age of 19, Sanford adopted the profession in which 
 he afterwards became so famous. He became a minstrel and for 
 five years toured the East, winning laurels and dollars wherever 
 he went. In 1845 Sanford went to England, being one of the first 
 American entertainers to invade Europe, and there he repeated the 
 success he scored in this country. On his return from England San- 
 ford settled in Philadelphia, and on August i, 1853, opened the 
 hall at Twelfth and Chestnut streets, which was known as Kor- 
 ponay's ball-room. He remained here for some time, and at the end 
 of another successful tour covering a period of three years he came 
 back to Philadelphia and inaugurated the most memorable and 
 successful run of minstrelsy ever given in this city. In 1857 San- 
 ford gathered about him a company of tlie best minstrels to be 
 found in the country and arranged to open at the 'Old Drury,' then 
 under the management of 'Old Joe' Foster. A hitch occurred, and 
 Sanford found himself without a playhouse. The old City Hall at 
 Eighth and Chestnut streets had about that time been opened and 
 Sanford succeeded in leasing the building for three weeks. He 
 opened to an audience that literally packed the hall, and during 
 the three weeks did a phenomenal business. 
 
 In the later sixties he became affiliated with a circus, and for 
 one season played the part of a clown. Minstrelsy, however, was 
 his particular forte, and in 1870 he returned to the grand circle. 
 
 Sam Sanford to-day holds the reputation of having been the 
 best end man minstrelsy has ever produced. He remained on the 
 stage up to his 70th year. * * * On his retirement he settled 
 down to a quiet family life. * * * " 
 
 Note. — Sam Sanford was the son of Richard Sanford and 
 Mary Lindsay (sister of Jane Lindsay, the maternal grandmother 
 of Sarah Elizabeth Pilgrim). .After Richard Sanford's . death, 
 Marv Sanford married Thomas Coates, son of "Squire" Coates, 
 for whom Coates street (now Fairmount avenue), Philadelphia, was 
 named, and died four or five years ago at the age of 103 or 104 
 years. I have been informed that Sam Sanford was the first actor 
 to impersonate the character of "Uncle Tom" in Harriet Beecher 
 Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin." N. P. T.

 Note. — Newton Powers Tomkinson entered the law offices

 wnose surname was Powers; both hearings before a magis- 
 trate. Although he has since represented a Tomkinson (who, 
 however, was not the third client), the coincidence is not complete.

 from her appearance in two daguerreotypes Elizabeth Stevenson 
 Tomkinson must have been over eighty years old at the time of 
 her death. Had issue : Henry, Joseph, James and Andrew Steven- 
 son.

 [See Hill, of Stallington Hall, in Burke's History of The 
 Commoners.] 
 
 Tomkinson, who was over 80 years old at the time

 Jabez and Mary. 
 
 Samuel Tomkinson died in .August, 1900, in his 85th year. 
 His people lived in Liverpool and in different parts of Cheshire. 
 In his early business life he was a banker in Liverpool. At one 
 time (circa 1848) managing director of The North and South
