William Jameson has not been determined to related to the Rutherford Co.,TN Jamisons, however , this information is provide in hopes of assistingothers in the search for a common tie.

Clayton Leonard Jameson:

The Jamison family came from Scotland, specifically, Argyleshire, andwere related to the cla n Stewart. They were held in high esteem, playedimportant roles in the development of Scotlan d, and had la nded estates.Primarily Protestant, the Jamesons eventually fled Scotland from t hepersecutions of the Church of England, settling in Ulster about 1619.Determination, not los s of wealth, spearheaded their lives in the newcountry. County Londonderry became their home , and they defended her withhonor in spite of the coming controversy over religion again. Wil liamJamison, one of our direct ancest ors, fought during the 1689 Seige ofLondonderry and sur vived. His own grandson, William, leaving the confinesof northern Ireland, emigrated from Col eraine, with many like-minded men,braving the Atl antic seas and reaching Boston prior to 172 5. By 1733,Jamison settled in Nutfield, NH(Londonderry, Derry, and Windham) hislegacy our sti ll-strong generation today.
