A group of Separate Baptists arrived from North Carolina and settled on Broad River in 1759 and incorporated into a church. In 1762, the congregation moved up Fairforest Creek to the Dining Creek area in southwestern Union County. The Fairforest Baptist Church was the first Baptist church in the South Carolina up-country, and is the mother church of many up-country Baptist churches. Families in this group included: Philip MULKEY, Obediah and Stephen HOWARD, Benjamin GIST, Charles and Thomas THOMPSON, Joseph BREED, and Rachel COLLINS.

From South Carolina Baptists, 1670 - 1805, Thompsons mentioned in the book are: Benjamin, Charles, Elizabeth, Sarah, Sister, Thomas, and Abigail-Thomson, Beatrix-Thopson, Joseph-Thomson, Joseph-Thomson,
and Moses - Thomson.
