- John Jameson acquired 280 acres in the Cowpasture area of Augusta County, near Jackson's River, 26 Sept. 1760. (Source: From "A Centennial History of Alleghany County, Virginia", By Oren F. Morton, B., Lit. Dayton, Virginia, J. K. Reubush Company 1923, Transcribed by Nancy Piper for Genealogy Trails) Note: it appears that John Jameson's son John may have ended up on this land, since he died later in Rockbridge County, VA, where most of the Cowpasture was located.
