from "Jameson's in America" by E.O. Jameson and transcribed by James Monroe Jameson.

Thomas Jamison was born Nov. 7, 1732 near Philadelphia,in York County Penn.
Thomas was a Northern Virgina Planter. Thomas Jameson in his early manhood served in several engagements during the Indian Wars and he went with the Albemarle County militia under Washington throughout the campaign that ended on July 9, 1755, in Braddock's defeat. Soon after his marriage to Jane Dicky in 1756 in Loudon County, Virginia they removed to Georga. While a resident in Ga. four children were born, they were Samuel, John, Martha, and William. After his wife Jane died there in Ga. he removed to a place near Charlottesville, Albemarle County, Virgina where his brother Alexander Jameson was residing. Thomas then married Hannah Taggart in Lancaster, Pennsylvana about 1764. Their children are ;Mary(Mrs. Thomas Shelton), Jane(Mrs. Abner Bird), Nancy L.(Mrs. John Holcombe), Katherine(Mrs. Charles Perrin), Eleanor "Helen"(Mrs George Kirby), Margaret(Mrs. Samuel Glasgow), Alexander, Thomas, Hannah(Mrs. Samuel Ross), and Rhoda(Mrs. Samuel C. Humphreys). He lived for a time near a stream called "Pig River" in Franklin County, Virginia. With his three sons Samuel, John and William joined in the Revolution and with his son John took part in the battle of Guilford Courthouse, North Carolina. In the early 1800's this family came to Jefferson County.

John inherited 1/7th interest in his father's Barren Co., KY, land ca. 1804. Scott Jameson does not have the parents for the subject John Jameson (#52000 in his "The Jameson Perspective"). Billie Etling has him as the son of John Jameson who d. ABT 1801 in Fayette Co., KY. Billie believes John left Barren Co. for St. Claire Co., IL, and later went to Lincoln Co. & St. Charles Co., MO. Scott Jameson also has that they resided in Lincoln Co., MO. John's likely brother, Allen Jameson, was made administrator of the Lincoln Co. estate of (his father) John Jameson Senr. on 6 Mar 1820, following a Power of Attorney from John Jameson of Montgomery Co., MO Terr., dated 3 Mar 1820 (per Patty Archer's transcription from Lincoln Co. Deed Book C p. 59). The POA gave Allen the power to recover from James Snowden of St. Louis Co., MO Terr., John's share of the slave woman Ziphe & her children who belonged to the estate of John Jameson Senr. The POA was from the subject John Jameson who perhaps planned to leave MO. He is said to have had son William Green Jameson, born 27 Feb 1823 in KY, and his last son John Jameson, born 7 May 1824 in Fannin Co., TX.

From Patty Archer:

George's son Robert lists in his Rev War pension file that he was born in 1762 in Augusta Co., VA, but in the 1840 pensioners census he is listed as 84 years old, which would put him at being born 1756. More than likely he was born in 1762, but there is a possibility that he could've been born in 1756 and if that is the case, then he would be the oldest child of George's and probably from George's first wife. This is just a
possibility though. George married Eleanor Mitchell, daughter of James Mitchell of Botetourt and Augusta Cos., VA. about 1758.


George Jameson's will is below. His wife Eleanor is living at the time of his death. She died c. 1818. Many of his children are not named. The statement: "My first wife's children are to have 100 lbs currency" means
that George may have more children than I even know of. Looking at his daughter Nancy's will and son Andrew's will we can fill in the blanks on some of the names of his children with Eleanor.

Includes NotesNotes for Robert Jameson:
By Patricia (Jamerson) Archer
We know that our earliest known Jamerson ancestor was Robert Jameson. He was born in 1756/1762 in Augusta Co., Virginia. He served in the Revolutionary War and participated in the siege of Yorktown. Coming to Kentucky after the war, he settled in Madison Co., and while there became engaged in trading with the frontiersmen of Missouri, shipping his goods on his keel boat. This was sometime prior to 1800. He, in partnership with a Catholic priest and a Spanish officer, made the first gunpowder ever made in what is now the State of Missouri. It was then forbidden by law since Missouri was under Spanish Rule. But the gunpowder commanded a high price and they were willing to take the chances. Later coming to Missouri to reside, he made one of the occupants of the Fort at Troy, Lincoln County, Missouri, from 1812 to 1815. He was always known as Major Jameson, but as to whether or not he held this rank during the Revolution has not been learned, ( He is listed in the Madison County Kentucky Militia in 1795 as a Lieutenant, then as a Captain in 1797,still Captain in 1799 and commissioned a Major in 1806) this taken from the book Portrait And Biographical Record, by D.E. Marion, p. 233. According to Robert's great grandson Walter S. Jameson, Robert was a Major in the Revolutionary War and took part in the battles of Trenton, Princeton, and Brandywine. Major Jameson returned to Boston about 1782 where he married an Irish maiden, he also being Irish, and lived for a number of years in Massachusetts before moving to Kentucky. Walter also says that they lived in Kentucky for ten years and then moved to Troy, Mo. in June of 1817. His wife's name was Isabel Mahan. No marriage record has been found in Mass. for Robert and Isabel. Robert moved on to Ralls Co. Mo. and settled at New London. Robert and Isabel's children were as follows: William, Polly, George W., Cecilia, Robert, Willis Mahan and Paulina. Robert died ca. May 1845 in Ralls Co. and was buried on his farm near New London. Isabel probably died prior to 1828, when Robert's will was written, she was not mentioned.
Several other families settled in the vicinity of Troy before the war, but the exact date cannot now be ascertained, nor can all their names be recollected. The following were among them:
Elijah Collard and his father, Joseph Collard, Alembe and Job Williams, Major Robert Jameson and his
son, George W. Jameson, who was the first white settler inside the Forks of Cuivre, having located on the farm now belonging to Mrs.Thomas Dwyer, two and a half miles east of Millwood, in 1817, and a man named Paris.
At the third term of the court, December,1819, the first Petit Jury was empaneled, consisting of Ira Cottle,foreman, John Lindsey, Guian Gibson,Jacob Williamson, George Jameson, Samuel Gibson, Robert Jameson, Sr.,Thacker Vivion, Isaac Cannon, Abijah Smith, Hugh Barnett, and Andrew Cottle. The case was that of the "United States vs. Robert McNair, for hog stealing " McNair was a brother
to Alexander McNair, the first Governor of the State of Missouri.

William Jameson (son of John James Jameson and Jane Janet Keen) was born Abt. 1697 in Ulster, Galway, Ireland, and died March 21, 1753 in Augusta Co., VA. He married Sarah Collins on March 28, 1722 in Christ Church, Philadelphia, PA.

Includes NotesNotes for William Jameson:
Mr. Jameson{Jamison} appears along the frontier of Orange county, Virginia some time before 1744, for in that year he was already residing beside the Calfpasture River and was Captain of Horse in the militia. He probably homesteaded this part of the interior for a grant of patent was not issued until April of 1745 in which James Patton and John Lewis sold to William Jameson 170 acres at the lower end of the Calfpasture in the new county of Augusta. This region later fell south of Augusta and formed the northwestern border of Rockbridge county. Goshen, the town that developed in this quadrant was bounded on the south by the North Fork of the James, east by the Calfpasture River, and west by Mill Creek which was later to be Bath county. In 1745 he replaced Alexander Dunlap as Captain of the Augusta county militia. He was also instrumental in the forming, and one of the first members, of the first County Court that was commissioned in Augusta.

That Mr. Jameson was a recognized and respected neighbor along the frontier tells us a little about his character. While no information has been developed to determine his ancestry, one record indicates a traditional relationship with those Jamisons of Lancaster county, Pennsylvania. That is pure speculation so far as this author understands it. William Jameson could have come from any source of recognizable Jameson branches throughout the colonies and we'd be the none wiser. His surname is spelt Jameson and Jamison, and pronounced like the latter. A marriage record from Christ's Church, Philadelphia, Pa. provides the following: "William Jameson married March 28, 1722, Sarah Collins". Could this be him? Along with that data, the Records also show the baptisms of two of their children, John and William Jameson, dated March 20, 1723. Is this the same family in Goshen?

The organization of the new county quickly got underway. On July 16, 1746 a new court convened with a new slate of commissioners, one of whom was William Jameson, and dated June 13. In 1747, he was appointed Justice of the Peace September 7th, and witnessed several petitions.
The following web site address will take us to Wm. Jameson's history, his will and particulars of his estate. very interesting stuff. http://geocities.com/Heartland/Cottage/8016/gen41300.html

REFN16942 Became a Justice of the Peace in Augusta Co. on May 9, 1745 (and agai n on June 13, 1746; June 11, 1751; November 29, 1751; and May 20, 1752). Became Coroner on August 19, 1752. This birth date was obtained from Scott Jameson, Editor of the Jameson Newsletter, who gives as a reference "Wingfield's history ." Need to check this out. He died between December 20, 1752 (when his will w as signed) and March 21, 1753 (when his will was "proved"). According to "Wingf ield's history", he died in 1753 in Rockbridge County (then part of Augusta Cou nty).[entirefamily.ged]

As of now I believe that Gillian's father William (b.c. 1770 d.c. 1835) was the son of John Jameson of Fayette Co., KY (and Barren Co., KY) (b.c. 1750 d.c. 1803). I believe this John (b.c. 1750) is the son of Robert Jameson (b.c. 1730) of Louisa Co., VA that migrated to Fayette Co., KY and then to Barren Co., KY. I then feel that this Robert Jameson of Louisa Co., VA must be the son of one of the sons of William & Sarah (Collins?) Jameson of Rockbridge Co., VA, either an unknown Jameson son or the son of John Jameson who is thought to be their oldest son. It is possible they could've had an older son I suppose and that Robert is from him. 8031

William Jameson & Sarah Collins

A book titled Samuel Ferguson who married Mary Jameson

Page 2-3 Elizabeth Davidson Harbaugh, who wrote Davidson Genealogy,stated on page 291 that th e Jameson family was of Celtic origin and thatthey migrated from Scotland to Ireland in 1616 . She further writes thatJames Jameson, the Scotch-Irish progenitor, migrated to North Americ a ,with wife Jane and their seven children, settling in Lancaster county,Pennsylvania. He die d prior to 1743, the year his estate was settled.WILLIAM JAMESON, one of their sons, was bor n 1697 and married SARAHCOLLINS 28 March 1722 (Christ Church, Philadelphia. WILLIAM and SARAH moved to Augusta County, Virginia, circa 1745, where he qualified forJustice November 1751. H is will, written 20 December 1752 and proved 21March 1753, named his eldest son John, sons Ge orge, Andrew and William,and wife SARAH, who was executrix (Augusta Co. will Book 1, page 472 ).Mrs. Harbugh on page 292, also wrote that WILLIAM JAMESONs eldest son,John born circa 1723 , came with his parents to Augusta County and marriedJean Erwin, daughter of Matthew and Eliz abeth Erwin. ΠThe writer alsoasserted that Mary Jameson was the daughter of John and Jean (E rwin)Jameson. John Jamesons Will, written 29 February 1776 and proven 19March 1776, named hi s wife Jane (Jean), grandson John Peery,granddaughter Sarah McNabb and nine childrenno name s given (AugustaCounty Will Book 5, page 405).

Homer F. Dean finds nothing concrete on Mary Jamesons parentage. He haschosen the same Joh n Jameson as a possibility for her father, as did thewriter of Davidson. He favored this Joh n Jameson because his Willincluded a grandson who was a Peery. Our Samuel and Mary seemed t o havehad a relationship with the Peerys. Homer further reasons that in 1776,when John Jameso n wrote his will, he was old enough to have nine childrenand at least two grandchildren. Ou r Mary Jameson was married in 1760s,so John should have been the one generation older. Home r also guessed theWILLILAM JAMESON who married SARAH and wrote his will in 1752, to be thefat her of the above John. His will mentioned a son John. However, it ispossible that WILLIAM an d John, whose wills are both entered in AugustaCounty, could be brothers: Mary Jameson coul d have been a daughter of theWILLIAM Jameson whose will was written in 1752, although daughte rs arenot mentioned in his will. But it does seem probable that WILLIAMJAMESONs eldest son , John, is the John with wife Jane, and whose will isrecorded in 1776.

From FamilyTreeMaker:

William Jameson (b. Abt. 1697, d. March 21, 1753)
William Jameson (son of John James Jameson and Jane Janet Keen) was born Abt. 1697 in Ulster, Galway, Ireland, and died March 21, 1753 in Augusta Co., VA. He married Sarah Collins on March 28, 1722 in Christ Church, Philadelphia, PA.

Includes NotesNotes for William Jameson:
Mr. Jameson{Jamison} appears along the frontier of Orange county, Virginia some time before 1744, for in that year he was already residing beside the Calfpasture River and was Captain of Horse in the militia. He probably homesteaded this part of the interior for a grant of patent was not issued until April of 1745 in which James Patton and John Lewis sold to William Jameson 170 acres at the lower end of the Calfpasture in the new county of Augusta. This region later fell south of Augusta and formed the northwestern border of Rockbridge county. Goshen, the town that developed in this quadrant was bounded on the south by the North Fork of the James, east by the Calfpasture River, and west by Mill Creek which was later to be Bath county. In 1745 he replaced Alexander Dunlap as Captain of the Augusta county militia. He was also instrumental in the forming, and one of the first members, of the first County Court that was commissioned in Augusta.

That Mr. Jameson was a recognized and respected neighbor along the frontier tells us a little about his character. While no information has been developed to determine his ancestry, one record indicates a traditional relationship with those Jamisons of Lancaster county, Pennsylvania. That is pure speculation so far as this author understands it. William Jameson could have come from any source of recognizable Jameson branches throughout the colonies and we'd be the none wiser. His surname is spelt Jameson and Jamison, and pronounced like the latter. A marriage record from Christ's Church, Philadelphia, Pa. provides the following: "William Jameson married March 28, 1722, Sarah Collins". Could this be him? Along with that data, the Records also show the baptisms of two of their children, John and William Jameson, dated March 20, 1723. Is this the same family in Goshen?

The organization of the new county quickly got underway. On July 16, 1746 a new court convened with a new slate of commissioners, one of whom was William Jameson, and dated June 13. In 1747, he was appointed Justice of the Peace September 7th, and witnessed several petitions.
The following web site address will take us to Wm. Jameson's history, his will and particulars of his estate. very interesting stuff. http://geocities.com/Heartland/Cottage/8016/gen41300.html

This birth date was obtained from Scott Jameson, Editor of the Jameson Newsletter, who gives as a reference "Wingfield's history ." Need to check this out. He died between December 20, 1752 (when his will w as signed) and March 21, 1753 (when his will was "proved"). According to "Wingf ield's history", he died in 1753 in Rockbridge County (then part of Augusta Cou nty).[entirefamily.ged]

Jamison had a property named Regentville. These large properties werelike small villages an d almost self sufficient. I think that his place isthe reference you see every now and agai n called Irish C orner. Theproperty had its own graveyard, supplied by Jamison for his worker s andeventually taken over in 1839 by the Catholic Church.

>From Penrith Library Site:
The noble mansion of Regentville was built in 1823 possibly to a designby Henry Kitchen, fo r Sir John Jamison called by some "the prince ofAustralia". For two decades its luxury and ma gnificence ast oundedpassing visitors who did not expect such opulence and fine food in thewi lds of Australia.
Sir John invested a fortune in his estate constructing a virtual villageof service building s and workers cottages around his verandahed mansion.A leading light in the newly formed Agri cultural Socie ty in the colony,he experimented with imported crops and grasses and construct ed a hugestone windmill for grinding wheat and Corn. A picture of his householdand estate i n 1828 can be constructed fr om the Census of that year whenhe held 7830 hectares of land wit h 1150 cleared and 107 cultivated. Atthat time he owned 168 horses and 1800 cattle, and had 1 02 persons listedas being in his employ or under his protection.
Jamison took an active role in the affairs of the district serving as amagistrate. He allocat ed much of his land to tenant farmers.
Regentville, indeed, was the focus of the Penrith district and in thestrength of its activiti es probably lies a reason for the slowdevelopment of Penrith itself between 1820 and 1840, a s people wereattracted more to the wages and enterprises that Jamison was offeringthan to th e tiny township on the highway. A young migrant who found hisfirst employment in Australia a t Regentville for six mont hs in 1839 wasHenry Parkes, later long time Premier of New South W ales.
Jamison was ruined by the financial crisis of the 1840's and his greatestate was offered fo r sale in 1847, three years after he died. Itsbuildings were used as stone quarries for Penri th over the fo llowingdecades and many of his workers probably moved across to Penrith as did his wife and family who re-established themselves at Hornseywood close tothe Great Western Ro ad after his death.
Today, the remnants of his enterprises; stone foundations, fallen incellars, old fence lines , dams and vineyard terraces, provide an outlineof the former finest establishment in the col ony as well a s a melancholycomment on the way fortunes can fluctuate in New South Wales.

ABOUT SIR JOHN JAMISON CEMETERY
Sir John Jamison's cemetery is closely associated with Regentville theestate established by T homas Jamison and his son Sir John, which saw itsheyday in the 1820s and 1830s. The cemeter y originated a s a burialground used by Sir John's Irish convict servants located on a hillpo pularly known as "a little piece of Ireland". Sir John later donated itto the Catholic Church , and an additional portio n was given by anotherwealthy settler Charles Thompson of Clydesda le. The ground wasconsecrated by Archbishop Polding in 1839 and some Catholics werereburied t here subsequently; this fact and the c emetery as a wholeunderscores the importance attache d to burial according to denomination.
In these generous donations, Jamison and Thompson, both Protestants, weredemonstrating thei r status and power in the accepted manner of the day.Wealthy and prominent settlers habituall y lent support to churches,usually in the form of small allotments of land, and it mattered l ittlewhat denomination. Ironically, the cemetery, although neglected andderelict, and contain ing the graves of ordinar y folk, mostly IrishCatholics, is the only extant link with Sir Joh n Jamison (apart from hisown grave.) His fabulous house Regentville was in a state of decay i n thelate 1840s after he was ruined b y the depression of that decade, and itburned down in 1 869.
On its elevated site, the cemetery was the focus of many impressive andelaborate Catholic bur ial rituals and processions. The processionfollowing the coffin of Thomas Donohoe, who died a t 15 in 1898 ,comprised thirty six buggies; when well-known Irishman Tom Meade, aPenrith coac h proprietor died in 1898, "thirty Druids in regalia headedthe procession from the Roman Cath olic Church followed by some 55vehicles and about seventeen horsemen". The ground has the gra ves ofmembers of the pioneering Rope family - Margaret and her child who diedin 1855 at 21 an d 5 months respectively. (2)
The cemetery appears to have suffered more than most from both neglectand vandalism in the wa ke of surrounding modern suburban development, andhas lost its original setting.

JULES8028Family History
It is reported that John Jamison came to this country when his father wasabout twenty years o f age. He was the first white man to settle withinthe limits of what became Little Brittain T ownship, Pennsylvania. Thename of his first wife is unknown. There were twelve children--on e of hiswife and eleven of the second marriage. The order of their birth isunknown. John lef t about 1000 acres of land to his twelve children. It isa matter of history that "When it wa s a contemplation to divide thetownship Drumore, (from which this was taken, i.e. Little Brit tain, andwhile one proposed one name and another offered another, with respect ofconsiderabl e difficulty is settling the question,) John Jamison, one ofthe oldest and most prominent cit izens, said to the company, "Most of uscame from Great Brittain as our native place. I propos e the name ofLittle Brittain, in memory of our mother country." The name was favorablyreceive d and the township, when organized, was named accordingly."reference: The History of Lancaste r County, Pennsylvania.
The information is reported to be taken from "The Jamisons in America" byEphrain Jamison, pub lished by the Rumford Press of Concord, N.H. in 1901at Boston, Massachusetts.
