 Jam?son Family Shields, Crests and Coats of Arms

In the heraldic traditions of England and Scotland only an individual, rather than a family, can have a coat of arms. In those traditions coats of arms are legal property and can only be used undifferentiated by one person at any given time. Other descendants of the original bearer could bear the ancestral arms only with some change, usually a different color or the addition of a distinguishing charge.

Arms, as displayed here, are not necessarily connected to any one person or family within our direct family(s), or our database. Rather, these are included here as a way of showing the arms of people with the same (or variant) surname as a way of background and amusement. It will be noted if any of the arms is known to be connected with a specific ancestor or family.




There are many different Jam?son Coats of Arms and Shield designs - here are just a few.

  The best known Jameson Coat of Arms would be that used by the Jameson Whiskey Company in Ireland (as reproduced here), which is said to be based on arms of John Jameson's Scottish ancestors. More here and here.

  This is the Coat of Arms as embossed on the cover of E.O. Jameson's book "The Jamesons in America."
