F1 is the first generation, when something is crossed for a hybred. If you controlled the pollenation and set, the seed you save is an F2... etc. If there was no other tomato plants for a goodly ways, then the bees and buggies did the deed with the local plant... and you should be okay with planting your saves. Good luck.
