Notes from JamisonForever.com:
Alexander Jamison moved to the Wyoming Valley, near the Susquehanna River with his parents in about 1776. He was 14 years old when he survived the Wyoming Valley massacre at the Wilks-Barre / Plymouth Fort on July 3 1778; and hew about 16 when he was the only survivor of the later Indian ambush which killed his brother John Jamison and their neighbor Asa Chapman. In both instances it would seem that his life was possibly saved by the actions of his older brother John. Alexander fought against the British, the Indians and the soldiers of William Penn's descendants. Three of his brothers were killed by Indians. After living, fighting, and defending the family home stead near Hanover which was only several miles from Wilkes-Barre. Alexander settled in Salem Township, Luzerne County along the Susquehanna River just North of Bewick and South of Shickshinny at or very near the present location of the Nuclear plant and owned large tracts of land, for which his family had paid dearly in defending the claims of the Connecticut Susquehanna Company in the Wyoming Valley. His nearest neighbor and good friend was Nathan Beach for whom Beach Haven was named. Appropriately Alexander and many of his family are buried at Beach Grove Cemetery. When the North Branch of the State Canal was being dedicated on the 4th of July 1828 at Berwick a large ceremony attended by all. it was Alexander who "Broke Ground" by driving his splendid oxen before the crowd. The plow was held by his good friend and neighbor Nathan Beach, Esq.
Alexander fought in the Pennamite Wars between Connecticut settlers and Will Penn's settlers as well as in the Revolutionary War. he became a leader of the Salem Township community of Pennsylvania and it's spokesman for many years. he held a number of different offices and acted as a lawyer and judge / approved magistrate. Alexander became quite wealthy and died peacefully in 1859 after the loss of most of his family in settling the early frontier in Pennsylvania
Benjamin was a member of Captain Mason Alden's Company, Luzerne Militia, and died of Consumption after driven from Wyoming.
Reported to be born on December 17, 1812, however, his mother died in 1806 making this or her date of death wrong.
Daniel was reported born in 1812 in Beach Haven, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. Daniel was the grandson of Captain Lazarus Stewart, the leader of the "Paxtang Rangers". AKA the "Paxton Boys" who was killed at the Battle of Wyoming Valley after advocating and leading a perhaps unwise charge against a numerically far superior force of Indians and British. Daniel Jamison married Judith Bomboy. He was a well known farmer and businessman and lived for most of his life in the Village of Centre ( aka Lime Ridge ), Columbia County, Pennsylvania, just a couple of miles South of Berwick, Pennsylvania. He owned and operated the well known Half Way House (an Inn and Tavern) which was midway between Berwick and Bloomsburg until he "got religion" and shut the place down. Daniel Jamison died in 1900.
Notes from JamisionForever.com:
Benjamin F. Jamison lived his whole life in the Berwick, Pennsylvania area. Little is known about his wife, but she is belived to have been Mary C. Glasmoyer or Glassmeyer or Glasmer. Benjamin enlisted in the 35th Regiment of the 6th Pennsylvania Volunteers under his older brother Albion B. Jamison who became a Captain of his unit, Company A. (note: at times the unit is referred to as Co A 6th Regiment Pennsylvania Reserves Infantry (35th Volunteers). Benjamin fought in every major engagement during the Civil War including New Market Cross Roads, Bull Run, South Mountain, Fredericksburg, the Wilderness Campaign, Antietam, and at Gettysburg. The two brother's unit served in support of Col. W. Wallace Ricketts unit in most battles. Col Ricketts had been the original Commander of the 6th Regiment when it was organized in June or July of 1861. However, Albion was severely wounded in the leg at Antietam and after his recovery, he was semi-crippled and could not return to his unit. Albion then enrolled in medical school at the University of Georgetown from which he graduated and became a doctor on March 5, 1867. Later Albion was prominent in the GAR ( Grand army of the Republic ) and an original signer of documents in Philadelphia swearing allegiance to the United States after the death of Abraham Lincoln ( MOLLUS ). After the Civil War he was appointed to a high Government position settling Civil War accounts. It is believed that Benjamin's unit at the Battle of Gettysburg fought in the line of battle directly against the Confederate unit of Louisiana Tigers which contained one Victor D. Braud of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, who would later switch sides in the war after he was captured the second time, changed his name to George C. Duke, and become the maternal great grandfather of Richard A. Jamison. In fact, the possibility exists that Benjamin's company was the unit that captured Victor Braud, along with a dozen or so other Confederates at Falling Waters during Lee's retreat from Gettysburg on July 14th. If in fact this is the case, the descendants of Richard A. Jamison should be eternally grateful that his paternal great grandfather didn't shoot his maternal great grandfather, but rather allowed him to surrender, otherwise, they would not exist. At the Battle of Gettysburg, the 6th Pennsylvania Reserve Regiment was part of the 5th Corps ( Sykes Commanding ), 3dr Division ( Crawford Commanding ). 1st Brigade ( Col. William McCandless Commanding ). The first Brigade also included the 13th Pennsylvania Reserve Regiment which was known as the Pennsylvania Bucktails. In any event, Benjamin fought with his unit until it was disbanded at the end of the war and he returned to the Lime Ridge, Pennsylvania area. he had many children, including Albert Brittain Lynn Jamison and eventually died in Shickshinny in 1926.
