Both Thomas and Thompson are septs of the MacTavish Clan, sometimes you will find Thompson listed as a sept of Clan Campbell. The good thing is there are several Thompson tartans and they are all good looking tartans.

Glad I could help you find some of the information you were looking for, IMHO the Electric Scotland website is a good reliable source of information.

My wife is of Stephenson descent which is also a sept of Clan MacTavish.

yes, the father of the proginator of the Thompson clan re-married and became the proginator of the Campell clan.

Again, thanks everyone!

Yes, but are they your Thompsons. My mother is a Thompson (and from your neck of the woods in OK), but near as we can figure they were all Welsh.

true. My thompsons are all from New England ( somewhere ). I figure there are so many Thompsons around the country, that we are all related somehow.

scary thought there.

Well, considering that Thompson is derived from Tom's son, you know it's got to be pretty common. I mean how many people were there named Tom who had a son.
