Giles Tompkins was the
first of the name that
appeared in Albemarle

from Solomon Hancock,
part of 400 acres he
patented 4 years earlier.
In 1777 he sold the rest
to Giles son William.
William's estate "Whitehall"
joined his father between
Hardware River and Totier

HISTORY OF ALBEMARLE
Giles Tompkins died in 1795, leaving at least three children, William, Elizabeth and Sarah. William lived in the same neighborhood on an estate called Whitehall. He died in 1824. His wife's name was Elizabeth, and his children were John, William, Elizabeth, the wife of Peter White, Catharine, the wife of James Minor, Samuel W, Ann, the wife of Thomas Staples, Edmund, Robert and James. Samuel was a physician, and practiced in the vicinity of Earlysville, and afterwards near Scottsville. He married Sarah, daughter of George Gilmer, and his children were Elizabeth, the wife of J Schuyler Moon, Jane, George, Junius, Samuel, Martha, Charles, Lucy and Catharine. James married Sarah , daughter of Dabney Minor, and his children were William D, James E, and Eliza, the wife of John L Coleman. William D and James E were for many years well known commission merchants in Richmond. James E married Frances, daughter of John H. Coleman.
Giles was most probably buried on his or Son William's property as they are neither in the nearby cemetery in Scottsville. The original homes are no longer standing at each of the properties.
I received back a reply from the Scottsville Museum that has the local cemeteries on their web site about the possible location of Giles and William Tompkins. They had no info on a burial in their records of either one so we still think that Whitehall or Giles property is the most likely place for them.
