The second United States Federal Census taken in 1800 lists 16 Thompson heads of household for Robeson County, North Carolina.
I've compiled a list of those 16 Thompson families that includes heads of family, the number of free white males, free white females and slaves.

My known ancestors are William Thompson (first William listed above) and his father Charles Thompson (first Charles listed above). William's brother, Charles, is also listed (the second Charles on the list). My fourth great grandfather Harmon Thompson is enumerated in William's household as a male between 10-15 years old.
When comparing the 1800 United States Federal Census to that of 1790 (chart included below) you'll notice there are seven new Thompson Families, Alexander, a second Charles, David, Henry, two additional John Thompsons, M Thompson and Theophilus.
Two Thompsons have now left the County, Nepsy and Reuben Thompson. I've included my chart of the 1790 Federal Census for comparison.
