Milisia, my Thompson's are descended from the Robert on the Brig. Free Mason.We believe the 4 boys are brothers who left from Newry, County Down, Ireland and came to S.C. in 1772.Except for a couple of the married boys, and some of the married daughters of Robt. & wife, Ursilla, most of the kids went to Forsyth and Cherokee Co., Ga. and at least one son, William, went to Benton (later Calhoun) Co., AL.
I have a cousin in Ga. who is working on a Thompson book for our line who may can shed more light on this than I.He doesn't use a computer, but I can connect you if you'd like. My email is [email protected].
