Individuals : Finley Mary 'Polly'
David "Davy" Crockett legendary frontiersman, hunter, indian fighter, U.S. Congressman from Tn. and one of the martyred Heros of the Alamo met Mary "Polly" Finley at a frontier social event. In his autobiography Crockett recalled "she looked sweeter than sugar". They fell in love and were married Aug. 16, 1806 at Finleys Gap, Jefferson, Tn.
In 1811 Crockett moved his family to Franklin Co., Tn on Beans Creek within view of his beloved mountains,his hunting grounds. In 1813 and 1814 Crockett voluntered for 2 enlistments in Gen. Andrew Jackson's brutal campaign against the Creek Indians. Tennessee is nicknamed the Volunteer State in honor of these heroic citizen soldiers.
David and Polly Crockett had 3 children John, William, and Margaret. Apparently caring for her young family alone on the frontier took its toll on young Polly. She died in 1815 shortly after Davy returned from his second enlistment with Gen. Jackson. Those who stay home also serve.

In 1962 she was enlisted by the U.S. Department of Labor in Washington, D.C., Atlanta and Nashville and given responsibility for implementing and overseeing manpower projects, Head Start and neighborhood Youth Corps programs in Tennessee. Active in Democratic Party politics for most of her life, she served as the campaign manager of Senator Estes Kefauver's State Women's Division during his successful reelection campaign in 1954. The Women's Division Campaign attracted the attention of the Lady's Home Journal Magazine and featured an article on it. She was later campaign manager for Ruby Olgiati's Tennessee gubernatorial campaign.

William was married to a Sarah. Some think it could be Sarah Collins of the Christ Church, Philadelphia marriage record.

I descend from William through his son, George Jameson. I have had my brother YDNA tested. And we have compared to two known descendants of the first son of James & Janet, and it is not a match. It is likely that William was not the son of James & Janet. Could be they had a son William that married a Sarah Collins, but perhaps not the William that was in Augusta Co., VA as originally thought.

[Remember the birth dates we have for these children were based on the supposed baptismals for sons John and William (although William has always been known to be the youngest son, so the early baptismal date for him never made sense) that were baptized in 1723. So birthdates for them could be off by a matter of 3 to 5 years or so.]
children were based on the
Oldest son John Jameson (m. Mary) I believe he could've been born as early as 1715-1718. Researchers continually say that the John Jameson (m. Jean Erwin) was the oldest son of William & Sarah. I don't believe this to be true. In William's will of 1753, oldest son John was left 237 acres of land along Jackson River in what became Bath County, VA, and his best suit of "close". 22 Nov 1755 this John Jameson qualified as Ensign of the Troop of Horse for Augusta Co., VA. He married wife Mary some time prior to 1765. On 15 Oct. 1765, John Jameson and wife Mary (not Jean), sold 280 acres of land along Jackson River in Bath County, VA to Archibald Armstrong for 50 pounds. John's niece Peggy (dau of Wm Jr) was married to William Armstrong, Archibald's son. So you see the land record clearly states he was married to a Mary who gave over her dower rights to the land, not Jean. I do believe that John Jameson (m. Jean Erwin) was a relation though, but I believe he may be a nephew to William Jameson (m. Sarah). I have autosomal DNA matched to many of John (m. Jean Erwin) Jameson's descendants. So I have no doubt there is some kind of relation. The Annals of Bath County, Virginia by Oren F. Morton states: p. 195 "Captain William Jameson died about 1753. To John his oldest son, he left his land on Jackson River and his best suit of "close". Other sons were George, Andrew and William, of whom the last named had the Calfpasture Homestead. John left Augusta." So we see that John left Augusta. Where did he go? Who were his children? I think he may have had sons Robert (b.c. 1732) and William (b. 1745). Robert served in the Rev War out of Louisa Co., VA. Did John move there? Robert and brother William moved to Fayette Co., KY and then to Barren Co., KY by 1795. Was Robert a son of John? Or is there some other way that this Robert connects to the William & Sarah Jameson line? I have researched this Robert's son, John Jameson (b.c. 1752 d. 1801 Fayette Co., KY) and my brother has a very strong YDNA match (only 2 differences in a 67 marker test) from this line. We also have oral history that we are "cousins" to this line. This line happens to be the line that Green B. Jameson that died at the Alamo was from. John d. 1801 was Green's grandfather. John's son William "Will" Jameson (m. Jane) of Warren & Barren Co., KY was Green's father. YDNA proves the match, now it is a matter of figuring out exactly how they descend from William & Sarah of Rockbridge. William & Sarah's son John was thought to have served during Lord Dunmore's War 10 Oct 1774 Junction of Kanawha and Ohio Rivers in WV today ; Served under Col. Charles (Andrew?) Lewis at the Battle of Point Pleasant, a battle fought between VA militia and the Shawnee and Mingo Indians. Nothing else is known about oldest son John. When he left Augusta, where did he go?

George Jameson b.c. 1728 d. Oct 1799 Harrison Co., KY. This is my line. George is my 5th great grandfather. He was an attorney at Staunton for years. George married twice, 1st wife unknown, 2nd wife Eleanor Mitchell, dau of James Mitchell who had land both in Augusta and Botetourt Counties, VA. George's 1799 will does not name all of his children, but he states "to the children of my first wife" and "to the children of my present wife", as well as naming some of them as well as some grandchildren. Some of his children's wills give other siblings names too. George's known children with his first wife: Robert Jameson b. 1762 d. 1845 Ralls Co., MO (m. Isabelle Mahan) [my line]; John Jameson b. 22 Oct 1763 (m. Mary Polly Rice); and Sarah b. 1764 (m. Thomas Beard). George's known children with his second wife, Eleanor Mitchell: Andrew, George Washington, James, Joseph, Patsy, Nancy, and Mitchell. George remained in Augusta County until sometime in the late 1780s early 90s when he moved to Harrison Co., KY. He had 4000 acres on Eagle Creek in KY 3 Dec 1786. But as I said I don't believe he moved to KY right away. He sold the last of his property on Moffett's Creek to Daniel Miller on 15 Apr 1788. He probably went to KY after this. He died in Harrison Co., KY in Oct 1799.

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.

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

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. Œ The writer alsoasserted that Mary Jameson was the daughter of John and Jean (E rwin)Jameson.

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.

Rockbridge County was established in October, 1777 from parts of now neighboring Augusta and Botetourt counties, and the first county elections were held in May 1778. Rockbridge County was named for Natural Bridge, a notable landmark in the southern portion of the county. Rockbridge County was formed during an act of assembly intended to reduce the amount of travel to the nearest courthouse, and to ensure trials were held fairly, and among friends rather than strangers. The first court session in Rockbridge County was held at the home of Samuel Wallace on April 7, 1778.
