Biography

Ann (Jamison) Hendricks is a member of Clan Gunn.

Copy of The History of the USA Jamesons of Clan Gunn: The History of the USA Jamesons of Clan Gunn of Scotland compiled by Vivian Clark, on Dec 27, 2005 Jamisons, The First (b. , d. ?) Note: The Jamisons are said to originated in Scotland in the extreme north of that country in the area Sutherland and Caithness, where they were members of the clan Gunn. The founders of the clan were Norseman. The founder of the clan was said to be a pirate who settled at Ulbster in Caithness. His descendants and the Keiths were continually at war with each other. The daughter of Lachlan Gunn was carried off by a Keith to Ackergill, where she threw herself from the top of the tower. In 1426 the two clans fought a indecisive battle near Thurso. Another encounter occurred on the Muir of Tannach in 1438; the Gunns were defeated. In 1426 the clans agreed to settle in a friendly way. The Keiths treacherously attacked and cut the Gunns to pieces. The greater part of the clan afterward migrated to Sutherland. From Henry Gunn the Hendersons of Caithness descended. Sir William Gunn of this clan fought valiantly under Gustavus Adolphus. In 1636, on the Plains Weslock, he was chiefly instrumental in the defeating the Austrians. Charles I knighted him for bravery. The Chiefs of Clan Gunn were Hereditary Coroners of Caithness, and the Official Badge of the Coroner was a great buckle of Celtic design. The Clan Seat is at Clyth Castle, Caithness. The Jameson/Jamieson/Jam¬ison family is connected with Gunn, Stuart of Bute. (extracts from The Scottish Tartans with Historical Sketches of the Clans and families of Scotland revised by Sir Thomas Innes of Learney, published by Johnston & Bacon, Edinburgh.)

R. R. MacIan, in his Clans of the Scotch Highlands published in 1845 by Ackerman Co., London found in the public library in Edinburgh said - - "Clan Nan Guinnaich or Gunns - The Gunns were in the north, the counterpart of the MacGregors in the south. Although not numerous, they were most distinguished in very indicative of their general character. Guinneach signifies sharp, keen, fierce, and was doubtlessly imposed as descriptive of their known dispositions. The derivation of the clan is from Guin, second son of Clans or Ollar the Black, king of Man and the Isles, who died in 1237.

From James, son of George, the chief who flourished in the end of the fifteenth century, is derived the patronymics of MacJamais, by which they ave since been distinguished from their countrymen." (It has been said that English for MAC is son, so the translation of MacJamias into English would be Jameson. It is further recorded that members of the clan migrated to Ulster County, Ireland, from where they came to America.) There are some 57 plus versions of the Jameson name, some by the desire to be different but probably mostly because of general illiteracy and ignorance of both the Jamesons and those who enumerated the citizen of early American. In any case, the misuse of our name has been common in the case of the author's short life as a Jamison when compared to those who have lived before him.

The name Jameson and its variants, Jamieson, Jamison and Jemison is of baptismal origin signifying "The son of James". The purely English Jamison and it variants are almost entirely confined to North England, and the majority are of the Lowland Scottish descent. On the other hand, James as a surname is often English as north, which accounts for the multitude of its modern representatives. Early records of the name are as follows: James of Jacobus Auditdleg, County Salop 1273; Walter James, County Somerset; Willelmus Jameson, 1379; Johannes Jamesman, 1379; Alioia James, 1379. (from John Carty and 4000 Descendants, 1755-1978, Researched and Combiled by John H. Jamison, Helen (Baker) Cauley, James E. Bell, June (Jamison) Jaycox published in 1979 by Walsworth Publishing Company, Marceline, Mo., USA.

The Jamison Family in the Colonies: "James Jamison, the son of Alexander Jamison, was born in 1650 in Glasgow, Scotland. He emigrated to Galway, Ireland and came to America with his two sons, Robert and John, in 1700. They settled near York, Pennsylvania. John was born in 1680. There is no information available on Robert.

It is reported that John Jamison came to this country when his father was about twenty years of age. He was the first white man to settle within the limits of what became Little Brittain Township, Pennsylvania. The name of his first wife is unknown. There were twelve children--one of his wife and eleven of the second marriage. The order of their birth is unknown. John left about 1x00 acres of land to his twelve children. It is a matter of history that "When it was a contemplation to divide the township Drumore, (from which this was taken, i.e. Little Brittain, and while one proposed one name and another offered another, with respect of considerable difficulty is settling the question,) John Jamison, one of the oldest and most prominent citizens, said to the company, "Most of use came from Great Brittain as our native place. I propose the name of Little Brittain, in memory of our mother country." The name was favorably received and the township, when organized, was named accordingly." reference: The History of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The information is reported to be taken from "The Jamisons in America" by Ephrain Jamison, published by the Rumford Press of Concord, N.H. in 1901 at Boston, Massachusetts.

Thomas Jamison, son of John, was born November 7, 1732. He was a farmer and served in the Militia under General Washington. He fought through the campaign of July 5, 1755 which resulted in Braddock's defeat. He settled in Georgia after marrying Jane Dickey in 1756. She died in 1763. He later moved with his four children to Virginia, living near Charlottesville at a place called Jamison's Mountain. He also lived on Pigg River in Franklin County. He died April 6, 1830."

This reminds us of the general story of Jamisons in America reported by Bob Erwin in the genforum which follows:

Thomas Jamison sure did move around a lot! Pennsylvania to Virginia to Georgia, back to Virginia, and on to Indiana. I've never seen the like. The following is from the Roanoke, Va. Forum, March 1, 1988.

DAR book titled "Jamesons in America 1647-1900" by E.O. Jameson. Our Mattie Jamison (daughter of Jane Dickey and Thomas Jamison) married James McWilliams and died in Hardin Co. Ky. Two DAR records confirm Mattie is with the Jamisons and the McWilliams. Proof exists in the book "Two Centuries in Elizabethtown and Hardin Co., KY. 1776-1976" by McClure that Mattie was married to McWilliams with ten children and no other husbands.

The following is also report posted by Patricia Duncan on February 20, 1998: Boy, Thomas Jamison sure did move around a lot! Pennsylvania to Virginia to Georgia, back to Virginia, and on to Indiana. I've never seen the like. The following is from the Roanoke, Va.

Franklin County, Virginia Families: "Thomas Jamison, born 7 November, 1732, son of John Jamison. 1761: Albermarle County, 1762: moved to Georgia, 1760's: returned to Albermarle County , Moved to present Franklin County (then Henry), before 1776; settled on Snow Creek, Moved to Indiana , Died in Jefferson County, Indiana, 6 April 1830 married firstly, in 1756 Jane Dickey, of Loudoun County, Va., born 1740/41 she died in Georgia in 1763."

There were four Jamison families in Virginia in 1784. These were: David, John, Samuel and William Jamison listed as head of households. It is believed by John H. Jamison who compiled "John Carty and 4000 Descendants 1755-1978" that John married Susanah who was born in Virginia had their first child "Julia" in Greenbrier Co., Virginia. They moved to Kentucky and then moved to Missouri and later to Searcy Co., Arkansas. They had 12 children. None of this family apparently ever made it to Tennessee and were apparently their children went on to Missouri and never to be part of the Kentucky to Tennessee movement. It is unknown about David, Samuel and William Jamison who remained in Virginia or what happened. It is unknown if any moved on to Kentucky.

For the record, the historian of the above record list the children: 1) Julia b. 1810 Ky, 2) John C. 'Jack' b. 1815 KY, 3) unknown boy, 4) Permelia, 5) Mary "Polly" b. 1819 IL, 6) a boy, 7&8) two girls and 9) Mastin b. 1829 MO, 10) Ebenezar B. b. 1831 MO, 11) Lorenzo Dow b. 1835 MO and 12) a final boy.

In the 1790 census there were 140 families who had Jameson or similar names: Jameson, Jamerson, Jameston, Jamieson, Jamison, Jammeson, Jammison, Jamson, Jamerson, Jemeson, Jemeyson, Jeminson, Jemisson, Jemmison, Jimerson, Jimeson and Jimmison. 5.1 persons per household with 568 other persons.

My son descends from his daughter Martha, who married Lewis Marshall. Here is some info on that family You will notice that Martha Jamison Marshall has a birth date of 1767 on her tombstone, but she was supposed to have been the daughter of Jane Dickey Jamison, who died in 1763:

In a bio. written while Robert was still living, he said both parents came from NC, and were descendants of Scots Covenanters. There are five other children.

Jenny Ellison on February 26, 1998 posted on Jamison forum: Researching the family of Robert Jameson m. Sarah McKee. Died in Philadelphia, PA in 1802 (both of them). Sons and later relatives names Jacob Lockhart Jamison, J. Jacob Jamison, William Jamison to name a few. Family who stayed north kept spelling of Jameson. Family who moved south and west changed it to Jamison. Many of them settled in Ohio, Kentucky, and Kansas.

Barb Roberts on December 07, 1998 posted: Looking for information on David & Esther Jamison of Washington & Beaver Counties in PA. Believed to have left the area after the 1810 census, went to Licking/Muskingum Counties in OH, with daughters Esther (Jamison) Rowland, and another ??daughter, Jane (Jamison) Rowland. Per our family history, these Jamisons were from Ireland, with David possibly the immigrant.

Marla Moore Dec 28, 05 Viv, the research on the Jamison family are incomplete without the critical addition of the records in Orange Co., VA. --Which to my knowledge, has not been done by any Jamison researchers. My ancestor James Bird lived in Orange Co., but owned a tract of land in Albemarle Co., on the north side of Moorman's Creek, close to Samuel and Alexander Jamison, probable brothers to Thomas Jamison. (Albemarle Co. VA Deed Book 5, p. 416, Feb 9, 1774) This is part of the SAME tract previously patented by John Jamison in 1741, and sold to Wm. Elliott. (Albemarle Co. VA Deed Book 4, p. 155, August 12, 1765)

Albemarle Co. VA Deed Book 4, p. 44, March 13, 1765 John Jemason of Albemarle to Samuel Jemason of same, sum of 40 pounds, tract of land situated in Albemarle Co. on the North side of Moorman's River and bounded, on the river, which said parcel of land above bounded was granted unto the said John Jameson by patent bering date June 1, 1741. (Signed) John J (his mark) Jemason. Wit: Alexander Jemason, Nathan Woods, James Whearey, Thomas Jemason.

Albemarle Co. VA Deed Book 4, p. 155, August 12, 1765 John Jameson of Parish of Fredericksville in the Co. of Albemarle, to William Elliot of same, sum of 40 pounds, tract lying in the parish and county aforesaid on the N. side of Moorman's River being the land the said Elliot now lives, bounded, on the N. side of the River thence across the river to John McColock's line, the said land bounded by John McColoch, Nathan Woods and Thomas Craig containing 100 ac. (signed) John Jameson

(Note: This tract was sold by Wm. Elliot to Henry Harris, then Henry Harris to James Bird)

Also, the following proves, that Matha was the daughter of William Jamison: Franklin Co. VA Deed Book 10, p. 32, September 10, 1821 Lewis Marshal and Martha Marshal his wife, late Martha Jamison of the County of Logan and State of Kentucky and Florinia Mitchell, wife of Archibald Mitchell Dec'd, late Florinia Jamison of the County of Franklin and state of Virginia, do give, grant, bargain and sell to the said Florinia Mitchell, her heirs and assignees forever, all our right, title and interest to portions of the Estate of William Jamison, dec'd, late of Franklin County and state of Virginia.

and that William's wife was a Thompson:

Henry Co. VA Deed Book 2, p. 275, June, 1784 William Jamison and Floreana Jamison his wife seized in fee of part of a lot of land in the town of Charleston in the state of MD, 1 acre as also of part of a certain piece in the county of Cecil being the tract where Joseph Thompson formerly lived. Jean Arskins and Floreana Jamison, daughters of the said Joseph Thompson. Wit: Arthur Edwards, Samuel Randolph

This William Jamison is noted in Orange Co. VA records as the son of Thomas Jamison, Gent. Sheriff and Justice of the Peace in Orange Co., VA, who died about 1768 in Orange Co., VA. I have found no other records of any other William Jamison in the Orange/Albemarle/Fra¬nklin or Henry Co. VA areas--although if you know of TWO William Jamisons existing, please let me know. (I'm certainly not mistake proof!)

Orange Co. VA Order Book 7, p. 545, November, 1768 William Jameson, orphan of Thomas Jameson, dec'd, he being above the age of 14 came into court and chose his brother Thomas Jamerson his guardian who entered into Bond with Toliver Craig Jr., his security. This Thomas Jamison, Gent. was the husband of Margaret. (Orange Co. Order Bk 6, p. 520). William's oldest brother, Thomas, b. abt. 1738, married Hannah TAGGART. Although he had strong ties to the Jamisons in Albemarle, this Thomas & Hannah were living in Orange Co., VA until about 1775, at which time they (and also the Birds, McWilliams, Craigs) moved to the Henry Co./Franklin Co. VA area.

I'm not sure who the Thomas Jamison was that was noted to be in Georgia with Jane Dickey--do we have any court records, deeds, etc., of the Thomas Jamison in Georgia?

Vivian Clark Dec 28, 05 9. John JAMESON (John , James , Alexander ) was born 1, 2, 3 in 1711 in York County, Pennsylvania. He died 4 after 1788 in of Albemarle County, Virginia.

John JAMESON lived in Fredericksville Parish, Albemarle County, Virginia. According to the Reverend Woods, he was probably the father or brother of the Samuel JAMESON who died in 1788 in Albemarle County, leaving a widow Jane (Reverend Edgar Woods, "Albemarle County in Virginia", 1932, page 234). As John's daughter, Jane, married about 1750, John was probably born about 1705, no later than 1715. Samuel could not have been born much later than 1712, as his oldest child was born in 1732. Samuel also gave a much larger pledge to the church in 1747 than did John. John and Samuel's children were close in age. The two men were contemporaries, not likely to be father - son. I believe that he is the John, brother of Samuel JAMESON, son of John JAMESON (No. 145) in E. O. JAMESON's "The JAMESON's in America", 1901, page 43.

1740 is the earliest mention of John JAMESON: Thomas Moorman's 750 acres on Moorman's River is mentioned joining John Jamison's (Augusta County, Virginia Will Book 5, pages 406, 407). "History of Albemarle County" by Reverend Edgar Woods states that the JAMESONs came over the Blue Ridge Mountains in 1734 "under the auspices of Michael Woods" bringing their Presbyterian faith with them. Others who came at the same time were the Wallaces, Kinkeads, Stocktons, and McCords. The followers of Michael Woods and William Wallace built a Presbyterian Church at Mountain Plains, near Mechum's River. In 1746 these same people erected the Rockfish Church and a school, and in 1747 a call was sent to Reverend Samuel Black, of Pennsylvania by Mountain Plains Church and Ivy Creek inhabitants. Those contributing a pound or more each were Michael Woods, William Woods, Archibald Woods, William Wallace, Davis Stockton, Samuel JAMESON, Joseph Kincaid, and John McCord.

On 1 June 1741 John JAMESON patented 300 acres on the north side of Moorman's River. On 13 March 1765 he sold this same land to Samuel JAMESON of Albemarle County for 40 pounds, witnessed by Nathan Woods, James Whearey, and Alexander and Thomas JAMESON. John JAMESON signed with his mark. (Albemarle County, Virginia Deed Book 4, pages 44-46). On 6 July 1741 John JAMESON patented 177 acres on both sides of Moorman's River (Albemarle County, Virginia Deed Book 1, pages 50-52). In 1748 JAMESON sold to John McCollock 77 acres from the aforementioned 1741 patent. John JAMESON was a member of the Ivy Creek Presbyterian Church in 1747 and, along with Samuel JAMESON who pledged 1 pound, John pledged 10 shillings.

On 10 September 1755 John Jammeson patented 100 acres on the north side of Moorman's River and on its branches (Albemarle County, Virginia Land Book 30, page 610). Samuel JAMESON had patented 62 acres in the same location in July. On 12 April 1764 John JAMESON deeded what could be the same 100 acres in Fredericksville Parish to his son-in-law, Thomas Creage, witnessed by Robert Miller, Tomas Whary and Daniel Maupin (Albemarle County Deed Book 3, pages 45, 46). The land adjoined JAMESON's land at its northwest corner. On 13 March 1765 he sold to Samuel JAMESON the 300 acres he had patented in 1741. Then on 12 August 1765 John JAMESON sold to William Elliott, both parties of Fredericksville Parish, Albemarle County, for 40 pounds, 100 acres in Fredericksville Parish on the north side of Moorman River, being the land where Elliot was then living. The land was bounded by that of John McCollock, Nathan Woods and Thomas Craig.

On 1 November 1776 a John JAMESON signed a petition next to the names of Thomas Wharry, Samuel JAMESON, Thomas Craig, John Craig, Thomas JAMESON, Micajah Via, John McCord, Sam'l McCord, Wiliam Wood, and William JAMESON, Jr. The petition was titled Dissenters from the Church of England of Albemarle and Amherst Counties ("Virginia Historical Magazine", volume 18, 1910, page 263).

On 26 February 1788, Thomas Jarman purchased from James Harris, both of Albemarle, a tract of 75 acres on the north side of Moorman's River "beginning at a red Oak in John JAMESON's line ...to a pine in John Mullin's line" (Albemarle County, Virginia Deeds, pages 484, 485). This was the last mention of John JAMESON in Albemarle. There is no John JAMESON on the 1785 Census nor the 1782 and 1787 Tax Lists of Albemarle County.

The only child I have really documented for John JAMESON, is daughter Jane, but he would be expected to have had others. It is very likely that he had a son, possibly one that went to Barren County, Kentucky, as Jane's son John Craig, in Barren County in 1830, was said be in possession of his uncle's bible register. He was unlikely to be referring to a Craig uncle. The Thomas JAMESON who signed the Albemarle Declaration in 1779 seems to have been a son of John JAMESON, for the other Thomas JAMESON (1732-1830) was living in Franklin County, Virginia before 1768.

John married 1 (1) Margaret WHITE before 1738.

They had the following children:

20 F i daughter JAMESON.

On 12 August 1765 John JAMESON sold for 40 pounds, 100 acres in Fredericksville Parish, Albemarle County to William Elliott. This was the land on which William Elliott was then living. The land was bounded by John McCollock, Nathan Woods and Thomas Craig. A year earlier he had made a gift deed of 100 acres to his son-in-law, Thomas Craig who was also living on that land. John sold other land to a relative. The deed appears to be to the husband of a daughter of John JAMESON, but it is not certain and is not considered proof. daughter married William ELLIOTT. William was born before 1732 in of Augusta County, Virginia. 21 F ii Jane JAMESON died 1 after 1798 in of Albemarle County, Virginia.

It is believed that Jane and her husband, Thomas Craig, lived at present day Jarman's Gap, which was known as Woods Old Gap in the 1790s. Jane married Thomas CRAIG about 1750. Thomas was born 1 before 1727. He died 2 on 16 Apr 1798 in Albemarle County, Virginia.

John married 1 (2) Mary Bell WILKINSON in 1738.

They had the following children:

22 M iii John JAMESON was born 1 on 5 May 1742 in Albemarle County, Virginia. He died 2 on 7 Jul 1790 in Rockbridge County, Virginia.

There were two John JAMESONs from Albemarle County serving in the Revolution. One was the son of Thomas JAMESON. I have assumed that the other was the son of John. It seems in 1742 the only JAMESONs in Albemarle County available to be his parents were brothers John, Alexander and Samuel. So he could also have been a son of Alexander JAMESON. John married Barbara Allen STEWART.

11. Jane JAMESON (John , James , Alexander ) was born 1 in 1716 in York County, Pennsylvania. She died 2 in of Virginia.

Mr. and Mrs. Abner Bird resided in Virginia. Their only son, Abner Bird, married his cousin, Jane JAMESON, the daughter of Thomas and Hannah (Taggart) JAMESON on 7 March 1791 in Franklin County, Virginia (E. O.JAMESON, "The JAMESONs in America", 1901, page 43).

Jane married Abner BIRD. Abner died 1 after 1776 in of Albemarle County, Virginia.

They had the following children:

23 M i Abner BIRD was born 1 in Virginia. He died 2 in Kentucky. Abner married 1 Jane JAMESON daughter of Thomas JAMESON and Hannah TAGGART on 7 Mar 1791 in Franklin County, Virginia. Jane was born 2 in 1768 in Virginia.

Vivian Clark Dec 28, 05 13. Thomas JAMESON (Samuel , John , James , Alexander ) was born 1, 2 on 7 Nov 1737 in York County, Pennsylvania. He died 3 on 6 Apr 1830 in Jefferson County, Indiana. He was buried 4 in Hebron Baptist Churchyard, Jefferson County, Indiana.

Thomas Jameson, along with his brother, Alexander Jameson, was in the Albemarle County Militia in September 1758, fighting against the Indians ("Hening's Statutes", VII, page 203).

Thomas and Jane resided in Albemarle County. Sometime after 1758 they were residing in Georgia. After Jane's death in 1763 in Georgia he removed to a place near Charlottesville in Albemarle County, Virginia where his brother, Alexander, was living. The "Mary Jameson, my granddaughter who lives with me" in the 1796 will of Thomas' mother, Jane Jameson, may have been Thomas's daughter Mary, born 1760. Perhaps she was raised by her grandparents, Samuel and Jane Jameson, when her mother had died. Therefore, I believe that this Thomas Jameson is the one who married Jane Dickey of Loudoun County, Virginia. Before 1768, with his second wife, Hannah, he was living near a stream called Pig River in what became Franklin County, Virginia in 1785. They may have returned to Albemarle County, before going to Indiana, as when Mary Jameson, Thomas' daughter, married there in 1789, Hannah Jameson was a witness. They finally settled in Indiana (E.O. Jameson, "Jamesons in America", 1901, pages 43, 44, 45). Thomas donated a grove of several acres and he and his sons and neighbors built a church in Jefferson County, Indiana in 1817 named "Old Liberty" (James Monroe Jameson, "Some Descendants of Thomas Jameson 1732-1830", DAR Library).

It is said that Thomas Jameson and his sons, Samuel and John Jameson, served in the Army during the American Revolution. Thomas and Hannah (Taggart) Jameson were the ancestors of President Lyndon Johnson ("Ancestors of American Presidents", Gary Boyd Roberts).

Thomas married 1 (1) Jane DICKEY daughter of John DICKEY and Martha MCNEELEY in 1756 in Fairfax or Loudoun County, Virginia. Jane was born 2 in 1742 in Loudoun County, Virginia. She died 3 in 1763 in Georgia.

They had the following children:

30 M i Samuel JAMESON was born 1, 2 about 1757 in Georgia.

Samuel was the oldest son of Samuel and Jane (Dickey) Jameson. He served in the Revolutionary War and was with George Washington when he took command of the army on 3 July 1775 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It is not known what became of him afterwards. (Bruce, "History of Virginia", volume 6, 1924, page 161). Marshall Wingfield writes that Thomas, Samuel and John Jameson were at the Battle of Guilford Courthouse. ("Pioneer Families of Franklin County, Virginia", page 137) John Jamison and Samuel Jamison signed a petition dated June 1784, to separate eastern North Carolina from the western side of the mountains, forming the state of Franklin. (North Carolina Archives, Book 22, pages 704-710) 31 M ii John JAMESON was born 1, 2, 3 on 9 Mar 1758 in Georgia. He died 4, 5 on 9 Nov 1842 in of Madison County, Kentucky.

During the American Revolution John Jameson served with distinction. He was Captain of Dragoon from January to March 1777, he was a Major from 1777 to 1780 and he served as a Lieutenant Colonel of Colonel Sheldon's Cavalry Regiment from 1780 to 1781. His pension is S4427 and R15404. He also received a Bounty Land Warrant #1164. Marshall Wingfield writes that Thomas, Samuel and John Jameson were at the Battle of Guilford Courthouse. ("Pioneer Families of Franklin County, Virginia", page 137) After the Revolution he and Elizabeth lived on a farm next to that of his father on Snow Creek in Franklin County, Virginia. John later settled in Madison County, Kentucky where he had been granted land (E.O. Jameson, "Jamesons in America", 1901, pages 43, 44, 45).

John Jamison and Samuel Jamison signed a petition dated June 1784, to separate eastern North Carolina from the western side of the mountains, forming the state of Franklin. (North Carolina Archives, Book 22, pages 704-710) John married 1, 2, 3 Elizabeth MCWILLIAMS daughter of Hugh MCWILLIAMS and Mary TAGGART in 1778. 32 F iii Martha JAMESON. Martha married 1 James MCWILLIAMS. 33 F iv Mary JAMESON was born 1 on 6 Oct 1760 in Georgia. She died in of Indiana.

When Mary Jameson married Thomas Shelton in 1789 a note was provided by her parents, "Samuel Jameson and Jain Jameson who give their consent". The witnesses were Hannah Jameson, probably her step-mother, and Jesse Toney. Samuel and Jane's daughter, Mary, would have been 47 years old and in no need of permission. Samuel Jameson had died in 1788, so the permission note is a puzzle, as is the fact that daughter Mary was not mentioned in his will. It is believed that the marriage was that of Samuel and Jane's granddaughter, Mary, daughter of Thomas Jameson. Mary (Jameson) Shelton and her descendants settled in Indiana, the same place as did Thomas Jameson and some of his children.

Jane Jameson's 1796 will mentions "Mary Jamison my granddaughter who lives with me", but she must have been refering to another granddaughter, as the granddaughter Mary, Thomas's girl, would have been married by then. Mary married 1, 2 Thomas SHELTON son of William SHELTON and Elizabeth ROGERS on 2 Nov 1789 in Albemarle County, Virginia. 34 M v William JAMESON was born 1 before 1763 in Georgia.

His wife may be the Elizabeth Harris, daughter of Christopher Harris and Mary Dabney. William married 1 Bettie HARRIS.

Thomas married 1 (2) Hannah TAGGART about 1764 in Albemarle County, Virginia. Hannah was born 2 on 2 Apr 1745 in Ireland. She died 3 on 10 Jan 1830 in Jefferson County, Indiana. She was buried 4 in Feb 1830 in Hebron Baptist Churchyard, Jefferson County, Indiana.

They had the following children:

35 F vi Jane JAMESON was born 1 in 1768 in Virginia. Jane married 1 (1) Abner BIRD son of Abner BIRD and Jane JAMESON on 7 Mar 1791 in Franklin County, Virginia. Abner was born 2 in Virginia. He died 3 in Kentucky. Jane married 1 (2) Isaac DAVIS in of Kentucky. + 36 F vii Nancy JAMESON was born on 6 Apr 1771. She died in 1838. 37 F viii Katherine JAMESON 1 was born 2 on 20 Aug 1773 in Franklin County, Virginia. Katherine married 1 Charles PERRIN about 1792 in Russellville, Kentucky. 38 F ix Eleanor JAMESON was born 1 in 1775 in Franklin County, Virginia. Eleanor married George KIRBY on 10 Oct 1795 in Franklin County, Virginia. 39 F x Margaret JAMESON 1 was born 2 on 7 Oct 1779 in Franklin County, Virginia. She died in 1864. Margaret married 1 Samuel GLASGOW. 40 M xi Alexander JAMESON 1 was born 2 in 1781. He died 3 on 12 May 1860 in Miami County, Indiana. Alexander married 1 (1) Mary MOORE on 11 Dec 1801 in Garrard County, Kentucky. Mary was born 2 on 1 Aug 1776 in County Down, Ireland. She died 3 on 4 Sep 1839 in Indiana. Alexander married 1 (2) Rachel TANN. 41 M xii Thomas JAMESON was born 1 on 10 May 1783 in Franklin County, Virginia. He died 2 on 27 Jun 1843 in of Jefferson County, Indiana. Thomas married 1 Sally HUMPHRIES daughter of Mr. HUMPHRIES on 12 Oct 1809 in Garrard County, Kentucky. + 42 F xiii Hannah JAMESON was born on 22 Aug 1787. 43 F xiv Rhoda JAMESON was born on 2 Oct 1790 in Albemarle County, Virginia. She died 1 in Sep 1866.

Rhoda and her husband had lived in Garrard County, Kentucky before going to Indiana by 1814. They raised ten children. Rhoda married Samuel Cabell HUMPHRIES son of Mr. HUMPHRIES on 2 Oct 1810 in Garrard County, Kentucky. Samuel died in 1828 in Jefferson County, Indiana. He was buried in Hebron Baptist Churchyard, Jefferson County, Indiana.

16. Samuel JAMESON Jr (Samuel , John , James , Alexander ) was born 1 on 13 Jul 1753 in Albemarle County, Virginia. He died 2 on 11 Apr 1805 in Albemarle County, Virginia.

Samuel Jameson, Jr. was the youngest son. He served as a soldier in the Virginia Line during the American Revolution. His home was on Moorman's River at Wood's Gap, Albemarle County, Virginia. His wife was likely related to Thomas Craig. They had a very large family, many of whom emigrated to Madison County, Kentucky. He is on the 1782 and 1787 (no males 16-21) Tax Lists of Albemarle County, Virginia. In his father's will, dated 1787, he received the tract of land on which his father had been living. On 7 May 1800 he was granted 24 1/4 acres on the southside of Moorman's River (Albemarle County, Virginia Land Book 44, page 426).

The appraisal of Samuel Jameson's estate on June 3, 1805 in Albemarle County Court House, Virginia listed Margaret Craig and William Maupin as witnesses/approval and the following as taking the appraisal: Robert McCullock, Joel Harris, Thomas Ganes and Daniel Maupin. There is a will administration after his death, dated 1 June 1812 in Albemarle County.

Samuel married 1, 2 Margaret CRAIG daughter of Alexander CRAIG and Margaret in Feb 1769 in Albemarle County, Virginia. Margaret was born 3, 4 in Jun 1753 in Albemarle County, Virginia. She died 5 in Apr 1850 in Albemarle County, Virginia.

Placing Margaret as the daughter of Alexander and Margaret Craig is because of the close relationship she had with Thomas Craig. She was not the daughter of Thomas Craig, as she was not mentioned in the administration of his estate. The death of Thomas Craig was recorded in her family bible, found in the pension records of her husband, Samuel Jameson, a soldier of the American Revolution. Alexander and Margaret Craig died at about the time of Margaret Craig's marriage, and they and James Craig seem to be the only Craigs possible to be the parents of a daughter of Margaret's age.

In her will she mentioned grandsons William L.T. Jameson, Waller (Wallie) C. Jameson; Rebeckah Jameson wife of Samuel Jameson; son Samuel Jameson; daughters Hannah Maupin, Catherine Mills, Mary Brickhead (Burkhead); the children and heirs of William and Jane Maupin, formerly Jane Jameson and the children and heirs of Wiley and Elizabeth Harris, formerly Elizabeth Jameson; sons William and John Jameson were excluded as also were the children of son Alexander Jameson as they had received their shares during her lifetime (Albemarle County, Virginia Will Book 19, pages 423,424).

They had the following children:

+ 44 F i Hannah JAMESON was born on 25 Apr 1774. + 45 F ii Jane JAMESON was born on 3 Jan 1776. She died before 1850. 46 F iii Elizabeth JAMESON was born 1 on 6 Dec 1777 in Albemarle County, Virginia. She died 2 before 1850.

When Elizabeth married, Samuel Jemeson was the witness. From an old family bible, printed in Glasgow in the eighteenth century, which belonged to the parents of Wiley Harris, comes the following information from the present owner, Anita Schultz-Peters: "According to the Bible entries his father was James Harris and his mother Betty Shares. They married 30 June 1757. Wiley Harris was born 8 May 1779 in Albemarle County and he and Elizabeth Jameson were married there 23 December 1799. They had the following children: Samuel Jameson Harris born 25 November 1800; Sidney Marten Harris born 1 January 1803; Sophia Harris born 29 May 1805; Shiler Shares Harris born 1 August 1807; William Shelton Harris born 28 July 1809; John Jameson Harris born 2 February 1812; Amanda Fitzalin Harris born 31 March 1814; Elizabeth Jane Harris born 1816; Robert Jameson Harris born 25 october 1819. This is a very old book and although Elizabeth Jane's birthdate had been written it has become to hard to read." Elizabeth married 1, 2 Wiley HARRIS son of James HARRIS and Betty SHARES on 23 Dec 1799 in Albemarle County, Virginia. Wiley was born 4 on 8 May 1779 in Albemarle County, Virginia. 47 F iv Mary JAMESON was born 1 on 18 Apr 1780 in Albemarle County, Virginia. Mary married Nehemiah BIRKHEAD in 1809 in Albemarle County, Virginia. 48 F v Catharine JAMESON "Kitty" was born 1 on 17 Nov 1782 in Albemarle County, Virginia. She died in 1876. Catharine married Nathan MILLS in 1806 in Albemarle County, Virginia. 49 M vi William Lilburn JAMESON was born 1 on 9 Oct 1784 in Albemarle County, Virginia. He died in 1844 in Missouri.

According to "The Story of Gabriel and Marie Maupin", by Dorothy Maupin Shaffett, 1994, all of his five children were born in Albemarle County, Virginia. About 1835, he, his wife, and five children went west to Missouri, along with other family members. They went first to Fem Osage, then settled at Saint Charles, Missouri. His children were Sarah Jane Jennings Jameson, Rebecca Susan Catherine Jameson, Mary Elizabeth Hannah Jameson, William Lilburn Thomas Jameson, and Martha Samuela Whery Jameson. His son, "William L.T. Jameson", was mentioned as a grandson in the 1850 will of Margaret (CRAIG) JAMESON, his mother. William married 1 Rebecca MAUPIN daughter of Cornelius MAUPIN and Mourning HARRIS on 15 Sep 1814 in Albemarle County, Virginia. Rebecca was born 2 about 1793 in Albemarle County, Virginia. She died 3 on 14 Nov 1853 in Saint Charles, Missouri.

It is said that Rebecca rode horseback all the way from Virginia to Missouri. + 50 M vii John JAMESON was born on 23 Jan 1787. 51 M viii Thomas Wharry JAMESON was born 1 on 17 Jan 1789 in Albemarle County, Virginia. He died 2 on 28 Jan 1804 in Albemarle County, Virginia. + 52 M ix Samuel JAMESON was born on 17 Mar 1791. He died on 29 Nov 1871. 53 M x Alexander JAMESON was born 1 on 20 Nov 1793. He died before 1850. Alexander married Frances Ann OVERSTREET. 54 M xi Robert JAMESON was born 1 on 2 Jul 1796.

19. Thomas JAMESON (Alexander , John , James , Alexander ) was born 1 in Albemarle County, Virginia.

E.O. Jameson, "Jamesons in America", 1901, page 44 states that the Thomas Jameson who married Evelina Alcoke was the son of Alexander Jameson and that they resided near Charlottesville in Albemarle County, Virginia. He further states that they had just one child. I am dubious of this connection because of the seemingly great age difference between father and son.

"It is supposed that Thomas Jameson, who was a physician in busy practice in Charlottesville the early part of the century, was a scion of this stock. In 1806 he lived on the lot on which the family of J. J. Conner resides at present, and which he purchased from William G. Garner. In one of his conveyances it is described as being “on the upper street leading out to Jameson’s Gap,” that being evidently the name of what is now called Turk’s Gap. He married Evalina, daughter of William Alcock, and sister of the second wife of John Kelly. In 1815 he sold his residence to Mr. Kelly, and it is believed emigrated to the West." ~~History Of Albemarle County, Virginia, Reverend Edgar Woods

Thomas married 1 Evelina ALCOKE daughter of William ALCOKE on 7 Apr 1806 in Albemarle County, Virginia.

Thomas and Evelina lived near Charlottesville, Virginia. In 1806 they were living on a lot where the family of J.J. Connoer resided. In 1815 Thomas sold his residence to Mr. John Kelley and probably went west.

They had the following children:

55 M i Alexander Hamilton JAMESON was born 1 on 2 Jan 1807 in of Albemarle County, Virginia. He died 2 on 2 Apr 1867.

On 16 January 1828 A. H. Jameson was a witness to the marriage of Dabney Gentry and Elizabeth Drumheller in Albemarle County, Virginia.
