William JAMESON: Our Family History

1728 - Yes, date unknown

Generation: 1

1. William JAMESON was born in 1728 (son of William JAMESON and Sarah COLLINS); and died.

Generation: 2

William JAMESON was born in 1697 in , Ulster, Ireland (son of John JAMESON and Janet KEEN); died on 21 Mar 1753 in Rockbridge, Augusta, VA.

Notes:

They appear to have moved from Ireland to Pennsylvania before 1722 and from Philadelphia, PA to what was to become Augusta Co., Virginia in 1725/1726 if the birthdates are correct for their children. I'm not sure if they had pairs of children named Katherine, George and William or if there was a simple mix-up of their birthdates making duplicates show up in various person's trees up on the Internet.

William Jameson and wife are the only common ancestral line I've found with a DNA cousin match named Morgan Barker. If I can verify matching DNA with other Jameson descendants, this will prove that my William D. Clark is correctly descended from Ferguson's and Jameson's/Jamison's as currently charted on ancestrees. However, it must be noted that his William Jameson's son John does not match the info I have on his son John at all or John's descendants so I'm not holding my breath that this William is the father of my John Jameson.
