  Notes	There seems to be no trace of William or Jane Jameson, apart from the record of their 1851 arrival in Philadelphia. The only records of this family in America, appear to be in the 1860 Federal Census where returns exist for only the teenage sons, Jonathan, William and Alexander, all living north of Pittsburgh, in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, each in separate households with other families. This suggests the parents are no longer around, possibly having died.

• Notes

  The exact parents and ancestors of this William Jameson are not known. However, descendant Y-DNA testing (#816905) is a direct and complete 'match' with other known and earlier emigrated Jameson families from the very same part of Ulster, Ireland, suggesting almost certain close family connections. The baptism record for son Jonathan in 1841 gives William of Movanagher, occupation farmer, as father.
