The Jamisons are said to originated in Scotland in the extreme north ofthat country in the area Sutherland and Caithness, where they weremembers of the clan Gunn. The founders of the cla n were Norse man. Thefounder of the clan was said to be a pirate who settled at Ulbster inCai thness. His descendants and the Keiths were continually at war witheach other. The daughter o f Lachlan Gunn was carried off by a Keith toAckergill, where she threw herself from the to p of the tower. In 1426 thetwo clans fought a indecisive battle near Thurso. Another encounte roccurred on the Muir of Tannach in 14 38; the Gunns were defeated. In1426 the clans agreed t o settle in a friendly way. The Keithstreacherously attacked and cut the Gunns to pieces. Th e greater part ofthe clan afterward migrated to Sut herland. From Henry Gunn theHendersons o f Caithness descended. Sir William Gunn of this clan foughtvaliantly under Gustavus Adolphus . In 1636, on the Plains Weslock, he waschiefly instrumental in t he defeating the Austrians . Charles I knightedhim for bravery. The Chiefs of Clan Gunn were Hereditary Coroners ofCaith ness, and the Official Badge of the Coroner was a great buckle ofCeltic design . The Clan Sea t is at Clyth Castle, Caithness. TheJameson/Jamieson/Jamison family is connected with Gunn, S tuart of Bute.(extracts from The Scottish Tartans with Historical Sketches of the Clansand fa milies of Scotland revised by Sir Thomas Innes of Learney,published by Johnston & Bacon, Edin burgh.)

Alexander Jameson (b. Abt. 1590, d. June 20, 1659)
Alexander Jameson was born Abt. 1590 in Alloa, Clackmannon, Scotland, and died June 20, 1659 in Alloa, Clackmannon, Scotland. He married Elizabeth Chrystie on 1615 in Alloa, Clackmannon, Scotland.

Includes NotesNotes for Alexander Jameson:
After the death of George, the Crowner, and his sons at Ackergill, the Clan split into three distinct families -- James or Seumas, the Crowner's eldest son who survived the battle, moved with his family to Kildonan in Sutherland, subsequently known as Gleann na Guineach or Gunn's Glen, where he obtained lands from the Earls of Sutherland. (I believe this was the beginning of Jameson (Jamieson) as a name. The foregoing refers to the Clan Gunn which was the progenitor of our forebears.)
The Hendersons and Williamsons and Wilsons of Caithness are said to be descended from Henry and William, two of the Crowners' younger sons. Other Gunn families established themselves at Crosskirk, near Forss, on the North coast of Caithness and in Reay, Strathy and Strath Halladale in the MacKay country. The various chieftains leased their lands from the Chiefs of Clan Sutherland and Clan MacKay and in turn sublet these to their immediate families who subdivided them among their families. There was, however, a surprising amount of movement from one part of the country to another and so it cannot be assumed that all Gunns in one area were necessarily all of the same branch of the family.
enry and William, two of the Crowners' younger sons.
Indeed many clansmen do not bear the surname of Gunn. Surnames were not commonly used until comparatively recent times. They would have been of little use where everybody was of the same clan. A man or a woman was therefore known as John or Jean mac Sheumais or mac Dhaidh, son or daughter of James or David, of Clan Gunn, and when a surname came to be used many adopted their father's name and hence John or Jean Robson, Georgeson, Williamson etc.

The Jamisons left Ireland some years after the minor emigration ofScotch-Irish that sailed i n 1734-35 and settled in the southwest portionof Adams county, Pennsylvania.

Mr. Jamison was a thrifty, industrious man and greatly liked by thecommunity at large. In tim e he had razed the wooded land along thefrontier near the source of the Marsh Creek into a la rge growing farm.Two additional children born to him and Jane marked their swift progressi n a wild territory largely settled by the Scotch-Irish and swarming withIndians. In 1754 th e Jamisons moved their home a short way upon theirland settling into Buchanan Valley, then kn own as Pleasant Valley whichwas six miles in length and two miles wide. The Jamison land encr oachedupon the valley from the east and was previously owned by Joseph I. Leverand later wa s sold to Francis Cole after 1755 *(1). In that year theFrench and Indian War commenced at Gr eat Meadows when the Virginianforce, 150 men, under Lt. Col. George Washington, was driven ba ck fromFort Duquesne(Fort Necessity) by the French led by Coulon de Villiers inthe Ohio terri tory.

In Virginia a John{Jonathan} Jamison resided in Augusta county with hiswife, Jane Erwin, an d their nine children. He and Jane were both born inIreland and after emigrating to the Virgi nia Plantation married in present day Augusta county. Mrs. Jamison was a daughter of Matthew and Elizabeth (Hobson?) Erwin of Tinkling Springs, Augusta co., VA. BothMatthew and Elizabeth show up in Thomas and Jane Erwin Jamison's list of children. While evidence is not conclusive a nd considered vague concerning the John Jamison under the command of George Washington in1754 , speculation persists circumstantial ly that the John Jamison inAugusta co., VA. may have been a brother of the foregoing Thomas Jamison. Who better than relatives should the sons, Thomas and John Jamison, flee to in 1755 after the Indian massacre? In the same area as Matthew Erwin and John Jamison was a William and Margaret Jamison of Tinkling Springs.The couple in 1769 sold to John and Jane Erwin Jamison for 55 pounds a 310 acre farm. This resulted in a 45 pound lost for them having purchased the tract in 1765 from William Martin for 100 pounds. The transaction wasan "Estate of Inheritance in fee simple". Could William and Margaret have been Thomas' and John's parents? Or was William Jamison his brother? What happened to them after 1769? Did they live on their son's farm after selling it to him?

Another Account from WikiTree by Dave Rutherford:
Thomas settled his family in the Marsh Creek area of what would become Adams County, Pennsylvania. They were actually squatting on what was Iroquois land. During the Seven Years War, there were many atrocities performed upon the settlers along the frontier. In early April 1758, their farmstead was attacked and plundered and Thomas and his family were taken captive. Thomas was slaughtered along with his wife and three of his children by the French and Indian raiders who had abducted them from their farm. Only their daughter, Mary, survived.

Several family trees list William Jameson and Sarah Collins as Thomas' parents, leading back to the line of Sir James Jameson. Mary does state in her Narrative (see Mary Jemison) that her parents told her that the family had "wealth and honorable station" in their home country. But if they do trace back to the same family, I don't think it is through William & Sarah. Sarah was born in Pennsylvania about 1697 and William came from Ulster with his parents in 1713. So they must have married and raised their family in the New World. Thomas was born in Ulster and came over in 1743. So I have left his parents blank, for now.

My extensive Irish research concentrated first on Carrickmacross and Antrim then county Monaghan and Ulster Province. Then other counties. I have many details but will show only the grist of my findings:
• Many non Catholic church records destroyed in 1922
• Carrickmacross parish has no Church of Ireland records until 1795
• Carrickmacross early records from barony of Farney divided into “Bath” and “Shirley” estates show no Thomas Jemison.
• There are no Presbyterian church records for all of Monaghan county for early 1700’s
• There are numerous locations called Antrim (the mentioned place 30 miles from Carrickmacross
Could be either county Antrim or parish Antrim)
• The parish Antrim (Connor diocese Church of Ireland) has baptism and marriages ab. 1700-1756

Hiswi ll, written 20 December 1752 and proved 21 March 1753, named his eldestson JOHN, sons George , Andrew and William, and wife Sarah, who wasexecutrix (Augusta Co. will Book 1, page 472). M rs. Harbugh on page 292,also wrote that William Jamesons eldest son, JOHN born circa 1723, c amewith his parents to Augusta County and married JEAN ERWIN, daughter ofMatthew and Elizabet h Erwin.

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 theWilliam 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.
