James Tomb's Sons? William Victor Tomb

The other Tomb who was found was William Victor Tomb.

From Wikiversity.

He became a Navy officer and commanded a ship around the age of 40 and commanded the USS Maumee during World War I.  His ship became the first one to refuel another ship at sea which enabled six U.S. Navy destroyers to sail across the Atlantic Ocean to Ireland after the U.S. entry in the war without stopping in a port to refuel.

He also wrote observations on convoy duty in a diary.

Most importantly to me, anyway, as far as my question about his being a son of James H. Tomb, the article says that William was his son.

"James Hamilton Tomb, William's father,  was the chief engineer of the Confederate and Brazilian  navies as well as an officer of the Norfolk and Western Railroad.  His father's history of being a well-established and international naval commander during the Civil War and with Brazil, is most likely what led William Victor Tomb  and his brother  to becoming naval commanders as well."

I'll be writing about this man in my Cooter's History Thing blog.
