(3) Samuel lived at the Old Homestead and married Nancy McLean. (see copy of marriage certificate on page 17). Samuel is listed as a founder of the original Asbury Methodist Church at Raynham, North Carolina. The Asbury Methodist Church at Raynham in Robeson County, North Carolina is one of the oldest churches in Robeson County. The original church land was listed in the trustee's names as Jacob Pittman, Abraham Paul, Samuel Thompson, George Thompson, Joseph Kitchen, and was dated June 20, 1811. Samuel was Trimmigan's son and George was one of Trimmigan's brothers. The nearness of the church to the Thompson land was one reason why the Thompson were Methodists. Another reason was Bishop Francis Asbury's trip back into the section and conversion of the Thompsons. All the Thompsons in what is now Thompson Township attended the Asbury methodist Chruch. Samuel lived to a ripe age and is buried in the cemetary on the Old Homeplace near Rowland, North Carolina. The Old Homeplace is in formerly Thompson Township near South Poly Bridge,
