I am interested in a Thompson family. Robert McDowell (d 1770, Mecklenburg Co) lived in what is present NE Cabarrus Co, not far from the Rowan Co. line. His will named a daughter, Margaret Thompson, and a granddaughter, Margaret Thompson. I would sure like to know what Thompson family they were. Also, Robert McDowell had a son, David McDowell, who married Elizabeth Scott. David moved to Spartanburg Co, SC to Lawson's Fork of Pacolet River. Any help with the Thompson family will be greatly appreciated.
