Talk:Daniel D. Tompkins

I believe there may be an error in the second to past paragraph unless I'm misreading. It states:

"Tompkins County, Tompkins Square Park in Manhattan, and the Town of Tompkins are named after him. Daniel D. Tompkins gained a slight notoriety in 20th century cinema, when he was mentioned by Kris Kringle in Miracle on 34th Street during his psychological evaluation. (However, the screenplay erred: Kringle mentions that Tompkins served as vice-president under John Quincy Adams when it was actually John C. Calhoun The error is most likely due to confusion arising from the fact that Tompkins was the 6th vice-president and Quincy Adams was the 6th president. However, the two did not serve office concurrently because previous presidents had multiple vice-presidents)."

...when the top of the page states he served under James Monroe. I happen to live in the shadows of St. Mark's in the Bowery Church, about 80 feet from VP Tompkins' grave; I walked past it tonight and always remember he became a nationally-known hero due to heroics as Gov. of NY state during the War of 1812 when the British were attacking upstate NY from Canada. This isn't mentioned in the article (I actually am new to wikipedia and don't know how to post!). Also, NYC's Dutch grandfather Petrus (Peter) "Peg Leg Pete" Stuyvesant, of fame & legend, is buried just feet from Mr. Tompkins in the wall of the church. Check HIM out.
