Maybe Jamesons

There are a few Jam?son families we think may belong to our particular Jameson family.[1] Unfortunately we are not able to prove this, either way, through traditional means or by YDNA testing.[2]

Listed below (with a link) are those we think might be part of our Jameson family.

• Edward Jamisone (1624-1704) family of Midlothian, Scotland. Edward Jamisone was a Presbyterian minister at a difficult and dangerous time for these matters in Scotland. He survivedand died there in 1704. His children (Thomas, Edward, John, Margaret) with wife Magdelene Keir, were familiar names (and appropriatebirth dates) to us in Ulster and early New Hampshire. We do not know what happened to these childres.


• James Jameson (1620s-1696) family of Scotland and then Boston, Massachussetts. This family emigrated in the 1640s, from Scotland to early Colonial New England, where they settled in Boston and raised a prolific family. There are several atDNA ' matches' with different descendants of these Jamesons and at least one known member of the New Hampshire Jameson family suggesting a strong connection with these two families. Unfortunately, any details or verasity of these possible conections are not yet known.


• Hugh Jamieson (1852-1907) family of Ireland and Chester County Pennsylvania. This family emigrated in 1873, from the Bann Valley area of Ulster, where our Jameson family was living a hundred and fifty years earlier. Hugh and Alexander (a brother) were very common names in our Ulster Jameson family.


• Robert Jamieson (c,1812-c.1864) family of Ireland. Descendants from this family emigrated in to America in the late 1800s and early 1900s. This family was living in the area where our Jameson family was living a during the early and middle 1800s, including in Coleraine. Hugh was a common name in this and in our Ulster Jameson families.
