Hi Ron, I am researching my THOMPSON-COTTINGHAM line in Marlboro County, and hope we can make a connection. Henry THOMPSON (2g-gfather) m. Ann COTTINGHAM. Son, Benjamin Thompson, 1850-1923, m. c1873, Martha J. STUBBS, 1858-1927. Son, John THOMPSON, 1877-1946, m. c1898, Maggie Lee GRADDY, 1880-1951. All these familles seem to have come from near McColl, Marlboro County, SC, although I have references that Henry came from Robeson County, NC, and Maggie Lee Graddy came from Cumberland co., NC. I have extensive info on the STUBBS line, which has BRIDGES connections, but I'm stuck at Henry on the THOMPSON line, and nothing on the COTTINGHAM line. Does any of this connect?
