Biography of Benjamin Tompkins:

Family tradition indicates Benjamin died under unusual circumstances. The most plausible story we have heard is that he was the watchman at the Jail in Live Oak. His job was to walk around the outside of the jail periodically. There was a bitter cold wintery storm and he caught pneumonia while on the job at the jail. He never recovered from the pneumonia and died. Other stories we have heard is that he was working at the jail in Live Oak, Florida and was killed during a jail break. Another story is that he was killed by a negro and that his son, Will, age 12 shot the negro with a shotgun. We have attempted to confirm these stories without success. He died prior to 5 September 1892 as on that date his name was taken off the voters registration books Suwannee County District #7 due to his being dead. [County Commissions Record Book of Suwannee County, Florida dating from 1885 and portion of Newspaper, The Banner found in that book. -- List of Voters reproduced in Fall 2002 Edition Vol X No. 3, of Suwannee Valley Genealogical Society, Inc.

Biography of Benjamin Tompkins:

We believe Benjamin is the son of Samuel Tompkins (c1765-1860). Our basis for believing he is the son of Samuel (1765) are as follows:

Both Partin (1775) and Samuel (1765) Tompkins were the only Tompkins from Washington County, Georgia that moved their families into Stewart Co. Georgia in the late 1820's. They resided in Stewart Co. living very near each other from the late 1820's until about 1841 when they moved further west into Covington County, Alabama. Since Benjamin Tompkins married Martha Hardie in Stewart Co., Georgia in 1835 and was living there in 1840 at the time of the 1840 Census it is clear that Benjamin must be the son of either Samuel or Partin. When Samuel and Partin moved into Alabama in the early 1840's, Benjamin and his young family did not move with them. Instead, Benjamin and family moved into Lowndes County, Georgia as they are found there in the 1850 Census. Likely Benjamin moved to Lowndes Co. because Martha Hardie's brother, Allen Hardie also moved to Lowndes Co. Georgia about that same time.
     
     The make-up of the Partin Tompkins family is nearly complete and it does not appear that Benjamin could be a son of Partin. Whereas, a male child of Benjamin's age fits in the Samuel Tompkins family based on the 1820 and 1830 census of the Samuel Tompkins family.

     Benjamin is enumerated very near Samuel Tompkins in the 1840 Census. The land he owned is one section south of land that Samuel Tompkins owned, whereas Partin's land was several miles distant.

     Benjamin named his third male child, Samuel. His first male child was named Theophilus, obviously named after his wife, Martha Hardie's Uncle, Theophilus Hardie, who was a prominent preacher in Stewart County, Georgia. His second male child was named William, quite likely after Martha Hardies, father William Hardie or possibly a William ancestor in the Tompkins family as that is a very common name.

     The name Samuel is used repeatly in several generations of the descendants of Benjamin Tompkins, whereas the name Partin is not to be found at all in his descendants Based on the above we have placed Benjamin as the son of Samuel.

     Benjamin served in the Stewart County, Georgia Guards for seven days under Col. David Burke in 1835 in the Creek Indian war. [Dixon, History of Stewart County, Vol II. p. 64.] His Widow, Martha Hardie, claimed in her Widows Pension Application of 31 May 1897 that he fought in Capt. Hornes, Jernigans and Greenberry Balls' 77th Georgia Volunteers in the Creek Indian Wars entering into service on 1 May 1836 at Lumpkin, Georgia and was discharged at Lumpkin, Georgia in July, 1836. The War Department could not find any record that Benjamin was on the Muster Rolls of the 77th Georgia Volunteers so her pension application was not approved.

     Benjamin and family lived in Stewart County Georgia into the 1840's, moving by 1850 to Lowndes County, Georgia. He apparently moved with Allen Hardie, Martha's brother to Lowndes Co. Georgia rather than move with his father and brothers to Covington, Alabama. About 1854 Benjamin and his family moved into Hamilton County, Florida and finally into Suwannee County, Florida by 1861.

     The pension application of his widow, Martha, indicates he was 5 ft. 10 inches tall, had blue eyes, dark hair and of fair complexion. He died 13 December 1869, near Live Oak, Suwannee County, Florida. He is likely buried near Live Oak in Suwannee County but to date no grave marker has been found.
