William Jameson emigrated from Glasgow, Scotland probably as a young man looking to his fortune and future. Passenger & Immigration records show no indication of him having arrived between 1760 to 1768 when he married Anne Reade or of his having left on his final voyage to England.

In writing his will, Jameson knew the dangers of the ocean and his undertaking a voyage just after writing his will appears ominous and prophetic in retrospect. For
obviously a year and several months later he died at sea. Mrs. Anne Jameson married two years later, second, August 7, 1787, Charlotte co., VA., Col. Richard
Elliot. They had several children from this marriage: (a) Julia Elliot, m. Joseph Friend Jr.; and (b) George Elliott. Mr. Elliot was Clerk of the Committee of Safety in
charlotte county in 1775 and 1776. He was a Captain during the Revolutionary War and took the Oath of Loyalty in November of 1779.

Life went on a pace, but on March 16, 1801 an indenture between Anne Elliot, Clement R. Jameson and Edmund Jameson and that of Philip Good all of the county of Charlotte regarding a tract of land owned by William Jameson and divided between Edmund and Clement Jameson known as Horsepen Plantation comprising 911 acres. Philip Goode purchased said tract for 908 pounds located on Horsepen Creek originally purchased by William Jameson from Abraham Martin and then consisting of 963 acres (52 acres later sold to John Collier).

On August 28, 1815, Anne Elliot made out her last will and testament "in the presence of Clement Carrington and Anne M. Read".


"In the name of God Amen, I Anne Elliot of the County of Charlotte, being in perfect health and usually sound mind, do make and ordain this as my last Will and testament, after recommending my Soul to God, my redeemer, My just Debts being first paid, I give and bequeath to my daughter Julia Friend, my silver case during her life and after her death to her daughter, Anne Eliza Friend, being a family piece, I wish it to remain in the family.
