  • Notes 
    • My African heritage of 1% appears to trace back to this couple, John Jameson and his wife, Jean Erwin through John's mother, Sarah Collins. All of the Collins cousin matches to my Mom that I have checked in the 10 plus range also have some Bantu heritage. They appear to be the ancestors of both my grandfather, William E. Clark's father and mother's side from an extensive study on Ancestry. The Jamesons previous to this John Jameson show no Bantu heritage.

      John lived in Augusta Co., VA by 1749. He purchased 280 acres on Jacksons River on 26 September 1760 in Augusta County, VA. This John is often stated to be the son of William Jameson and Sarah Collins in various family trees. I've founde by a Mr. Barber that says his birthdate was in 1713 in Philadelphia and where he lists him with the same parents but much different children all living in Pennsylvania at the times of their deaths, so I'm not sure if this John has the correct ancestry as listed.

      John Jameson was in the Augusta Co., VA records often as follows.
