The Family Jamison [Male]
Change: 17 JAN 2013

The ancestors of the Jamison family come from the ancient Scottish kingdom of Dalriada. Their surname comes from "son of James".

The surname was first found on the Isle of Bute, wher they held a family seat from very early times.

E. O. Jameson wrote in his book "Jamesons in America":

The Jamesons in America have all come from a common ancestry in Scot-
land. Some of their ancestral immigrants came to America directly from
their Scotland homes, while others first passed over into Ireland, and they
or their descendants at length found their way across the seas to this coun-
try. As to the origin and history of the Jamesons in Scotland, casting aside
all shadowy and unverified traditions, and studying the extant history and
literature of that country, we are quite confirmed in the assurance that the
Jameson name had its origin in a Highland clan, — The Clan of Gunn.

"There is no doubt," he says, "that the first appearance of the Jamesons
in Scotland was in the extreme north of that country ; more specifically, in
what is now Sutherland and Caithness, where they were members of the
Clan Guim. The best authorities agree that the founders of this clan were
Norsemen, but the accounts of their settlement in Scotland are so varied that
it is perhaps best to give extracts from various publications bearing on the
subject.

As to the spelling of the name, it appears that as translated from the old
Gaelic, Mac james or Mac jamais, Mac meaning son, and james or jamais
meaning James, the English equivalent is Jameson. It is further to be
noticed that the oldest and five out of the eight to whom arms have been
granted, spell the name Jameson, and three spell it Jamieson. Crossing
over into this country, there is rehearsed by different branches of the family
the unverified tradition that there were three brothers who came to America.
One settled in Virginia, who spelled his name Jameson ; the second settled in
South Carolina, and spelled his name Jamieson, while the third spelled his
name Jamison, but where he settled is not stated, doubtless in Pennsylvania,
if we may determine the matter by a current spelling of the name in that
state. But laying aside unverified traditions, we find as an actual fact, here
in America, that the name has not merely the two spellings known in Scot-
land, or the three given by tradition in this country, but the name is found
spelled in at least thii-ty-ti(.io different ways, as follows, viz. :

Jahncso/i, Jameson, Jaincrson, James sou, Jamieson, Jamison. Jamisone, Jammer-
sou, Jammcsone, Jammiso)i, Jamson, Jemeson, Jemmerson. Jemniisen, Jemmison,
Jempson, Jemsou, Jeinyson, Jimason, Jimersou, Jimmersou, Jimminsou, Jimmisou,
Jiiuson, Jimpson, Gemsene, Gemson, Gimersou, Gimeson, Gimpson, Gimsen,
Gipson.

Another interesting story of the Jam*sons:

Thomas and Jane Jemison aboard the ship William and Mary in the fall of 1743, while en route from what is now Northern Ireland to America. On a morning in March 1758, Mary, her mother and a friend were preparing breakfast when they were startled by the sound of gunfire. They rushed to the door to find a man and his horse lying dead a short distance away. The man was a neighbor chased and shot by a raiding party that now stormed into the cabin taking all inside prisoner. Mary begins her story as she and her family are herded through the wilderness towards Fort Duquesne located on the present-day site of Pittsburgh.

Mary's brother Tom was the first to use the name Jamison in America according to some records.

Tom married Jane and they lived in Dixon Springs, Smith Co., TN.
