Robert Jameson/Jamison came from Botetourt Co., VA. According to the Bible Records listed in Ref #11 Robert and his family migrated September 26th, 1786, from Chester Co., PA and settled in Botetourt co., VA[11]. The family left Virginia on September 17th, 1798 and settled in Logan co., Ky. He may have had a brother, John Jamison, who was also residing in Botetourt county as well. In Logan county in 1800, there were three men: Andrew Jamison, Robert Jamison, and William Jamison, probably all brothers and all from Botetourt(Rockbridge) county, VA. The Andrew Jamison taxed in 1800 is apparently not the same Andrew Jackson Jamison listed for Robert and Ruth Jamison since he would have been only 13 years old at the time of the 1800 Tax list in which the Andrew Jamison was listed on. Robert Jamison may also have had a brother, John Jamison, residing at the same time in Botetourt co., Va as he. This John Jamison had a son named John Jamison who married Elizabeth Douglass(4). These marriage returns are as follows:

" (page 5, Vol. 2) # 30--Robert Jemison{Jamison} and Agnes Edgar, 22 March 1791.[5]

(page 45, Vol. 3) # 352-- John Jamison and Elizabeth Douglas, daughter of John Douglas, , Bond, 24 February 1807. Minister's Return shows marriage March 5, 1807, by D. Blair, dated January 8, 1807, Lexington, Va. [5]

(page 83, Vol. 4) #785--Reubin Walker and Elizabeth Jamison, widow of John Jamison, deceased, and daughter of John Douglas, bond 12 June 1815. Minister Returns shows marriage 15 June 1815, by John Helms."[5] Further information provides the following: "John Jamison and Elizabeth Douglas, 24 Feb. 1807; bondsman-James Lockhart; con-John Douglas, father- 24 Feb 1807; wit. James Lockhart & Charles B. Rhoades, minister D. Blain(Lexington, VA.) 5 Mar 1807."[7] James Lockhart, also of Rockbridge co., VA, was a son of Jacob Lockhart and may be the James Lockhart in Botetourt county providing the bond for marriage. There were two contemporary Robert Jamisons in Botetourt co., VA. Both appear in Rockbridge county, but one settled in Georgia while his brother, William Jamison, also of Botetourt co, migrated to Woodford and Warren counties, KY. This Robert Jamison{Jemison} married Nancy Kirkham, a daughter of Henry, who resided on the James River near Lexington, Rockbridge co., VA. William married Nancy Kirkham, a grand daughter of Henry Kirkham. The point to all this is to separate some of the Jamisons and to point out that in Belleville, Washington co., MO another "John Jamison, b. Virginia came to Black River before 1830 from Kentucky. Purchased land from the government in 1831; rem, to Searcy co., AR shortly afterward."[8] This John Jamison who stopped in MO before going on to Arkansas, was the one who married Susannah Cape in Cumberland co., KY.

Jamison's will was dated December 12, 1825 and proved February of 1826 in Todd County. Twelve years later a John Jamison, same spelling, had a will proved in 1837, Todd County. In Robert's will mentioned was wife, Nancy; sons-Enos, Sidney, Ephraim, Andrew, Permelia, Presley M., Rose Alinda Ring, and Sarah. Executors, wife & son, Enos; witnesses were Spotsworth Smith, S. W. Varney{Carney}, and Richard Bowlding. In 1814-15, Spottswood Smith of Virginia settled in the section near Spring Creek. Contemporary arrivals were Henry Jetter, Squire William M. Terry, William Willis, Samuel Taliaferro, William King, John Roach, Daniel Hasser, Frank Eddington, John P, Balor and Hock Madison. Hon. D. B. Smith was born January 8, 1827, in Todd County, Ky., he is a son of Spotswood Smith and Martha A. (Terry). The father was born December 14, 1800, in Louisa County, Va.; he came to Kentucky in 1816, and two years later settled in what is now Todd County, and at present living with his son.

A Robert Jamison is listed for Logan Co., KY. In his will and probate records are the following people: Maxamilian, son, Juliana Davidson, daughter, son Robert, Elizabeth and Martha, daughters, unnamed Wife. An additional probate records Mason Jamison as administrator of Estate on the following November. These people may not be related[9,10].
