     He was (an unknown value). Calvin Tomkins was born at Orange, N. J., Jan. 31, 1793. His ancestors had emigrated from Connecticut to Newark, N. J., several generations previous, and was part of that ultra-Puritanical colony which made a last attempt to set up a Theocratic form of government in America. From Newark the colony spread gradually back to the Orange Mountain, and at the base of this hill Enos Tomkins, born 1770, the father of the subject of this sketch, lived and carried on the business of tanning leather and manufacturing shoes. His business was extensive for that time, and his factory gave employment to many people of the neighborhood.

Joseph Tomkins, his grandfather, the son of John Tomkins, lived here also, and was remarkable for liberality in gifts and education. His influence among the farmers was considerable.

Calvin was brought up to work on the farm, and learned his father's trade. He became dissatisfied with this mode of life, and at the age of 16 or 17 years he went to Newark with his pack on his back, where he engaged himself to the managers of the Bridge Dock Line of Packets, which plied between Newark and New York City. For several years he continued boating on the Passaic and Hudson Rivers.

During the war of 1812 he entered the service, and was stationed for some time at Sandy Hook. After peace was declared, he returned to boating, and ran for some time between Richmond, Va., and New York City. During one of these voyages he was shipwrecked off Sandy Hook, and suffered temporary illness, brought on by exposure.

About this time (1819) he married Esther Tuers, daughter of
Cornelius Tuers, of Barbadoes Neck, as East Newark was then called, and this event put an end to his deep water voyages, although for some time he continued in command of one of the Bridge Dock Packet boats.

Domestic ties and business opportunities soon conspired to keep him constantly at Newark. The introduction of anthracite coal attracted his attention, and he engaged himself in building up a business in the sale of this article.

In 1838 Calvin Tomkins and his brother Daniel purchased approximately 20 acres of land, located in a cove north of the Stony Point, New York promontory, underlaid with rock suitable for burning along the river shore for the purpose of making lime. The village grew around the works and when the post office was opened at this site, it was named after the founder's name and its location.
This led him to set up a kiln for burning lime on the property of the Bridge Dock Co., utilizing the fine coal, which at that time was of little value. Both business ventures proved successful.

The coal business increased rapidly, and his efforts to introduce it were rewarded by special concessions from the Pennsylvania
Coal Co. The farmers from the surrounding country came in for land lime, and his sales were increased. He also added to his business the manufacture of plaster and cement, and since it now assumed proportions too large for his own immediate supervision, he associated several of his friends with him and formed " The Newark Lime & Cement Manufacturing Co.," " The Tompkin's Cove Lime Co.", and "The Albert Manufacturing Co.," the last-named concern being located in New Brunswick, Canada.

The accomplishment of these enterprises, briefly noticed, was the work of many years, which Mr. Tomkins devoted to them.

After the death of Mrs. Tomkins, he married Mrs. Eliza Parish.
About 1858 he located in Tompkin's Cove, when the beautiful town sprang up about him, mainly through his extraordinary efforts for its promotion.

His father, Enos, was born at Orange in 1770, his grandfather Joseph being a native of the same town. Remarkably, too, his great-grandfather, John Tomkins, was also born here. His mother's maiden name was Sarah Condit; his grandmother's was Desire Freman.

The brothers of Calvin Tomkins were Elias, David, Ambros,
Daniel and Enos ; sisters were Sarah, Lydia and Elmira. The children of this Patriarch are Walter, Joseph, Cornelius, Sarah, Jane, Phoebe, and Laura ; his sons-in-law are J. G. Lindsley, H. Lincoln, Jas. Hill and Geo. S. Wood.

His daughters-in-law are Augusta Baldwin, Augusta Macent, and Kate Lefferts.

The grandchildren were Laura, Gertrude, Dwight, Calvin,
Walter, William, Anna Amelia, Esther, Calvin Hill, Annie Lindsley,
Katie Aldie.

Mr. Tomkins is a sturdy Republican, a staunch Methodist and an earnest Temperance worker.

He is a man of wide of wide reputation, of extensive possessions, and, besides great liberality to his denomination in gifts and endowments, he enjoys the love and confidence of a large circle of friends, who will arise in the last day to call him blessed.
