John Jameson (Beverley Manor NW, 104 acres on "Back Creek" in Beverley Manor, 27 Feb. 1749 from Chalkley's), this is probably John Jamieson (b.c. 1715, d. March 1776, Augusta County, VA), possible son or brother of William Jamieson/Jameson and Margaret Martin? who also settled in the county; he married Jean Erwin, daughter of Matthew Erwin and Elizabeth Hobson?. This John is not the son of William Jameson and Sarah. Their son John (b.c. 1723) married Mary ______, not a Jean/Jane. William (m. Sarah) left land along Jackson River to his "eldest son" John, and when John and his wife Mary sold that land in 1765, they left the county (Annals of Bath Co., VA). He died sometime after 1774, likely in Virginia or Kentucky. John that married Jean/Jane remained in Augusta County, dying there in 1776. There is some atDNA results that seem to link those from William (m. Sarah) to John (m. Jean/Jane) though, possibly indicating that this older William could be an uncle or great uncle to John. If a male Jameson descendant of this John (m. Jean/Jane) would YDNA test, then the relationship could be more conclusive in whether he belongs in some way to the William (m. Sarah) bunch.

Gibbons Jennings (Beverley Manor NW, 650 acres, granted by William Beverley in 1738, but not fully conveyed to Jennings. This tract was later patented to William Nutt (McNutt) in 1747) (b. Est. 1705-1715, apparently migrated from the Pennsylvania-Maryland border area to Augusta County, then left to parts unknown before abt. 1752. Need more information on his family).

William Johnson (Johnston) (Beverley Manor NE, 269 and 156 acres (adjoining), 23 Feb. 1749) (b. abt. 1712, prob. Ireland, d. bef. 12 Aug. 1756, Augusta County, VA)

William Johnstone (Johnston), (Beverley Manor NE, 100 acres in Beverley Manor on Cathey's River, 27 Feb. 1749 from Chalkley's), same as above.
