Thomas Thompson Deeds
Update
Charles,
I enclosed Footnote 10, South Carolina Baptists, Leah Townsend, p. 125, because it was interesting as to what happened to Rev. Philip Mulkey around the turn of the century. From what I have read, he must have been quite an intelligent, charismatic man...too bad his ministry ended as described in the footnote. I will continue to browse around at the library and if I gather anymore data, I will forward it along. Take care and good luck with your continuing search for information about Charles and Thomas.
Sincerely,
Charles J. Thompson February 1, 2004

Footnote 10, South Carolina Baptists, Leah Townsend, p. 125
10...J. D. Bailey, Reverends Philip Mulkey and James Fowler (Cowpens SC, 1924), pp. 3-16: Rev. Philip Mulkey was born May 14, 1732, near Halifax or Roanoke, NC (someone of the name was granted 300 acres in Edgecombe Co., NC in 1745); he was "bred an anglican", but was baptized by Rev. Shubal Stearns about Dec. 25, 1756, after a remarkable conversion, called to the ministry in Stearns’s church in February and ordained in Oct., 1757; he served as pastor of Deep River Church, NC until 1759 or 1760, when he came to Broad River, SC then removed to Fairforest in 1762 and preached throughout the surrounding parts in North and South Carolina; nothing is known of him during the Revolution except that he was probably a loyalist or carried non-resistance far; by his wife Ann Ellis he had David, Johnathan, Sarah, Philip, Martha; the last known ministerial service performed by him was as one of the presbytery constituting Cheraw Hill Church in 1782; excommunicated in 1790 and the churches warned against him for adultery, perfidy, and falsehood long continued in; he was in 1795 still engaged in the "Practice of Crimes and Enormities at which humanity Shudders"; nothing further is known of him, but as Jonathan Mulkey appears in 1809 as a minister of Buffalo Ridge Church of Holston Assoc., TN, the family may have moved to that state.

11Edwards, "N.C. Materials," in N.C. Hist. Rev., VII, 384: Crozer MS, pp. 38-41, Furman manuscript, pp. 42-43: the Furman manuscript gives 1759, the Crozer manuscript 1760, as the date of migration and organization of Broad River Church; of the thirteen members of the group going on to Fairforest none seemingly obtained a survey or grant on Broad River; Philip Mulkey had a survey of 400 acres made Dec. 9, 1762, in the fork between Broad and Saluda Rivers on Fairforest Creek, a branch of the Tyger River (plats, VII, 364) confirmed to him by grant of June 7, 1763; he later bought land in the section which came to S.C. by exchange with N.C. in 1772, on the south side of
Tyger River which was resurveyed by South Carolina in 1773 (Memorials, VI, 144, XIII, 456; CJ, Nov. 9, 1764; Joseph Breed had surveyed July 15, 1765 , 100 acres on a branch of
Fairforest Creek on the road to Wofford’s ford (Plats VIII, 57) at the mouth of the of a branch called Sugar Creek Mar. 5, 1768 (Ibid., IX, 215;

“THE NARRATIVE HISTORY OF UNION COUNTY SOUTH CAROLINA” – BY ALLAN D. CHARLES
Page 11 - …..Both Owens, historian of (Upper) Fairforest Church, and Spears,
Historian of (Lower) Fairforest Church, agreed that Rev. Philip Mulkey and his
congregation were the first Baptists to settle permanently in what is now Union
County. Both placed Mulkey’s arrival on the Broad River as August 1759. [35]
ref. Material – Owens, pp. 18-21; Spears, appendix, p. 9
Both writers agreed that Mulkey and his followers settled finally near Dining
Creek, a tributary of the Fairforest, in 1762 and established there the first
Baptist church not only of Union County but of the entire up country of South
Carolina. A recent secular historian, Richard Brown, also considered Mulkey to
have been the “top Baptist minister” in the back country.[36] ref. Material –
Brown, pp. 21 ff.; Spears, pp. 14-15
Included in the band were Mulkey’s wife, Mr. and Mrs. Obediah Howard, Mr. and
Mrs. Stephen Howard, Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Gist, Charles and Thomas Thompson,
Mrs. And Mrs. Joseph Breed, and Rachel Collins – all part of a group which had
formed originally at Deep River, North Carolina. There were no slaves among them
and probably none for the first few years.[37] ref. Material – Bailey, p. 6;
Owens, p. 65; Spears, p. 15
…..the American Revolution, was a disaster to Baptists in Union County. Rev.
Mulkey, a Tory, was driven out of South Carolina, and churches split
asunder.[39] ref. Material – Brown, pp. 21 ff.: Spears, pp. 42-52
Page 12 - …..Other pioneer families in the general Union County area included
Mayer, Patton, Kelso, Davidson, Strong, Means, Hodge, Park, Harris, Shaw, Saye,
Kennedy, Barron, Harbison, Thomas, Culberson, Hayney(Haney), Faris, Crawford,
Clowney, Denny, Thompson, Simpson, Foster, Armstrong, Nesbitt, and Gault.
