The dates of birth, marriage and death of Elizabeth Andrews Gregory can be regarded as correct as she survived until well within the memory of those from whom I secured the information. Her birthplace was probably in or near Spencertown, Columbia County, NY. I presume that her later years were spent in Ohio. At the time of her death she was 99 years, 9 months and 15 [27] days old. Her father was known as 'Major Andrews.' Was small and sprightly. Taken to visit her relatives near Londonderry at age of 97. I am told by Mrs. West that there was a connection between the Andrews and Adley families." -- W.P.Hay (1871-1947). Elizabeth was clear-minded and enjoyed reminiscing about her eventful life with her great-grandchildren: the throwing over of the tea at Boston, the battle of Bunker Hill, the stirring events of the time of Washington. Her husband and sons had fought in three great battles: the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, and the Mexican War. Her great-grandchildren would soon be fighting in the Civil War as well. She was venerated and respected by a large community (source). As of 2010, the reference to "Major Andrews" has not led to the discovery of his first name on Patriot records, nor has Adley research been fruitful (perhaps relating to her maternal line). On her 1850 census, Elizabeth herself said she was born in CT; only later sources (1881 county history, 1939 Gregory book) list her birthplace as NY (see below). Probably the best place for further research is Spencertown,NY, where the Andrews family lived in the 1760s/1770s.

Individuals : Jamison Thomas Elmer
Thomas Elmer Jamison, president of Jamison's Chain Stores and of the Roanoke Grocery & Milling Company, is easily one of the leaders in the business life of his city and county, as he is along other lines, for his is a nature that naturally assumes control of affairs and carries them on to a successful completion. He knows exactly what he is aiming for and does not deviate from his planned course, and in his operations carries with him others, so that the rewards which come of enterprising industry and efficient thoughtfulness are not shared by him alone, but are also participated in by his associates.
not shared by him alone, but are also
The birth of Thomas Elmer Jamison took place in Franklin County, Virginia, May 4, 1865, and he is a son of John and Christana (Hartsell) Jamison. Growing to useful manhood in his native county, he attended the local schools and in them secured a solid foundation upon which to erect the superstructure of his after life, supplemented as this instruction was by the lessons inculcated in the home
circle of the dignity of labor and the value of wise economy.
ONC was by the lessons inculcated in the home
When he reached his majority, the future capitalist left the shelter of the rooftree of his parents and went on the road as a traveling salesman for the Wrought Iron Range Company of Saint Louis. Missouri, his territory being the
eastern part of Virginia. After a year on the road, in 1888 he came to Roanoke, arriving here at a time when the present city was little more than a village. However, with that faculty of looking into the future that is so characteristic of him he realized its possibilities, and commenced at once to plan to develop them.
His first step in that direction was to ."secure congenial employment, and this was obtained with the P. L. Terrv Milling Company as shipping clerk, and he continued to hold it for a couple of years, and while faithfully performing his allotted duties he was also learning the business, and when the company was reorganized as the Roanoke Grocery & Milling Company he was one of the old employees to be retained by the new management, and he was sent on the road. For the succeeding five years he visited the trade, building up wide connections and gaining favor for his company, and when he was recalled from the road it was to
take charge of the sales department. Two years later he was elected vice president of the company, and after he had held that office for two vears he was elected president of the company, and still retains that office. The Roanoke
Grocery & Milling Company controls a lartre wholesale trade in Roanoke and throughout Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee and a part of Kentucky.
ld that office for two vears
Not content with what he had accomplished in one line, Mr. Jamison began to branch out and organizing the Roanoke Coffee & Spice Company, of Roanoke, the Salem Grocery Comnany, Salem, Virginia, and the Mullens Grocery Company,
Mullens, West Virginia, he carried these enterprises on as president of each one until they were placed upon a firm foundation. In the meanwhile he became impressed with the value of the chain store system, and September 9, 1921,
established a chain of grocery stores known as Jamison's, there being at the opening of business seventy-six of these stores, but since that time the number has been increased to eighty-one. These stores are conveniently located in the
states of Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee, and it is the hope of Mr. Jamison to have the territory expanded in the near future so as to take in many other states. The Jamison Stores are conducted as subsidiaries to the Roanoke Grocery & Milling Company. In organizing this system Mr. Jamison had in mind the plan of furnishing the people of the different communities in which
his stores are placed not only foodstuffs at a much lower price, but also to give them commodities of the very best quality, and so rigidly has he followed this plan that the name of Jamison's is now indissolubly connected with quality and fair prices, and the stores have become very popular. Through his parent company, the Roanoke Grocery & Milling Company, he is able to buy direct from the manufacturer in such immense quantities that necessarily he can place his goods on the market at prices that always prove attractive.
at a much lower price, but also
With the market furnished by the chain stores the Roanoke Grocery & Milling Company has steadily grown, from time to time, increasing its capital until it is now capitalized at one-half million dollars, and is the largest distributor
of foods in Roanoke, if not in this part of Virginia. Not only does the Roanoke Grocery & Milling Company distribute foodstuffs to the general trade, but also to a number of public institutions of Virginia, to colleges and to hotels, the volume of business done annually being greater than any other company operating between Richmond, Virginia, and Cincinnati, Ohio. The work entailed upon Mr. Jamison is tremendous, but he not only attends to it in a most capable manner, but finds time to give considerable thought and attention to the affairs of the Magic City, and has succeeded in bettering conditions in a most remarkable
degree. As the principal promoter of the ordinance which provides increased salaries for the fireman, he secured adequate fire protection, and lowered the insurance rate. It was he who began the agitation that resulted in the
establishment of the Roanoke Chamber of Commerce, of which he was an organizer and first vice president. In all matters pertaining to improving and beautifying Roanoke Mr. Jamison can be depended upon to take the initiative, and in this connection special mention must be made of his work in purchasing the Terry property for park purposes. Mr. Jamison has served his city as an alderman, and while a member of the council was appointed by the president of the Chamber of Commerce to draft a plan for a better form of government for the city. For many years he served as president of the Wholesale Grocers Association, and was a
member of the Manufacturers Association that was later absorbed by the Chamber of Commerce. The Presbyterian Church has in him an earnest and generous member. His fraternal connections are those which he maintains with the Knights of Pythias.

On November 10, 1892, Mr. Jamison married Miss Lillie Davidson, of Roanoke, and they have three children: Gladys Ann, who married D. R. Carpenter, a teacher in Roanoke College, Salem, Virginia; Thelma Virginia, who married H. K. Adams, who is with the First National Exchange Bank of Roanoke; and Frank Elmer, who has charge of the bakery of the Roanoke Grocery & Milling Company. The children have
