Michael,
Its not a him but a her.
Almedia Tompkins.
I have a invoice for her dated April 23, 1862 for making
" 40 battleflags for army on the peninsula"
It is believed that this was for the Magruder type flags;
the half red/white flags that were thought to be signal
flags until that document was discovered.
Have you found additional invoices for her??
