Individual:
Possibly came to New York in 1776, and moved to Union Co., SC. They were reportedly aligned with the Whig or Patriot cause during the American Revolution. Other researchers in this line include George Thompson of Houston, TX; John Keys Knox; Paul Woodard of Ft. Worth, TX. John Keys Knox wrote that he had seen the will of James Thompson naming sons James and William, but I have not seen this will. Not all of this tree is proven, so use with caution and always verify other's notes when possible.
One will recorded for a James THOMPSON of Pendleton 08 Nov 1794 indicated a daughter Abigail ALEXANDER, dau. Mary DILWORTH, wife Ablis (she to have the estate during her lifetime then divided betw son Samuel, Edward, William, James, Ann, Elizabeth and Ablis. Exec: wife Ablis. Wit: James Nowlin, Richard Oldham, Jesse Cobb. Recorded 26 Jan 1795. His estate was appraised 06 Apr 1795 by William Hall, Joseph Brown, and George Oldham. A group sheet by Jonathan F. Reeves of Nacogdoches, TX indicated that the son William Thompson (son of James & Ablis) was b. 1784 SC m. 12 Feb 1805 Mary CARSON and d. 1855 Benton Co., AL.

Researching Thompsons from Pickens SC to Blount Co AL:
Joshua Thompson born about 1780; died in 1829; married Mary.
..James born about 1800; died about 1880; married Sarah Durham
....Nettie Amelia born about 1825; married (1) Greenberry Waid,(2)Webster, (3) Whitley

....Matilda born in 1821; married Richard Gaither
....Lemuel
....John
....James
....Sarah Ann
....Winnie born in 1831; married Drury Bynum
....Elijah
....Jane married Unknown White
Joshua had 10 children. James was administer of his father's estate. About 1835 James and Sarah moved to Dekalb Co AL then later moved to Blount Co AL.
The above is included for the possibility that this Joshua is a brother to William Thompson.
From George Thompson:
William Thompson, born Abt. 1785 in Union Co., SC; died in Pickens Co., SC ?. He was the son of James Thom(p)son and Unknown. He married Unknown. Settled on 12 Mile Creek 8 miles north of Pendleton Village. Left South Carolina and killed in an Indian uprising in Alabama.
R. W. Simpson wrote an article about Robert Thompson, stating that Robert was a son of Charles Thompson, a grandson of William, a ggrandson of James Thompson from Ireland. A descendant of R. W. Simpson wrote to John Knox in 1999, that R. W. Simpson was a most thorough researcher, very "meticulous". R. W. Simpson was the first president on the board of Clemson University, a lawyer, and an author.
