Hannah Minthorne Tompkins (August 28, 1781 – February 18, 1829) was the wife of Daniel D. Tompkins, Vice President of the United States during the administration of James Monroe. Born on August 28, 1781, Hannah Minthorne was the second child of Mangle Minthorne (1740–1824) by his second wife, Aryet Constable Minthorne (1743–1830), of New York City. In February 1798, 16-year-old Hannah married Daniel D. Tompkins, a 23-year-old lawyer of the City. At the time of the marriage, her father was Assistant in the Common Council, and young Tompkins had designs on a political career. From 1800 to 1814, the couple had eight children, including Arietta Minthorn Tompkins (born July 31, 1800), who married a son of Smith Thompson in 1818, and (Mangle) Minthorne Tompkins (December 26, 1807 – June 5, 1881), who was the Free Soil Party candidate for Governor of New York in 1852. Hannah survived her husband by nearly four years; she died on February 18, 1829, in Tompkinsville, Staten Island. She and her husband are buried in the Minthorne family vault at St. Mark's-in-the-Bouwerie, in lower Manhattan.
