John Jamison b.c.1750 was also out of Botetourt Co., VA, went to Fayette Co., KY, married his 2nd wife, Rhoda Cook Bohannon, widow of Joshua Bohannon in Madison Co., KY (where my Robert was!), and then moved to Barren Co., KY (where my Robert’s brother John moved to later in about 1813, and where the descendants of our John b.c.1723 settled). He and Rhoda even went back to Botetourt Co., VA for a time. This John (m. Rhoda) stayed in Barren Co. until about 1801/02 when he moved to Wilson Co., TN and died in Maury Co., TN in 1811. My thoughts are that this Robert H. and John could be great nephews or cousins to my William.
John Jameson b.c.1750 VA d.1811 Maury Co., TN. This John is likely a brother to the Robert H. Jamison of Botetourt Co., VA/Logan Co., KY. John married twice. We do not know his first wife’s name. Children with his first wife were: John b.c.1772 (m. Elizabeth Douglass?); Elizabeth; George; and Rebecca (m. Mr. Finlay). John moved from VA to Fayette Co., KY in the 1780s. He married Rhoda (Cook) Bohannon, widow of Joshua Bohannon, on 10 Oct 1781 Lincoln Co., KY. The marriage record says John Jamison to Rhoda Buchanan. I’m told the Buchannan name and the Bohannon name are interchangeable in records. Could be that the above John J. Jameson’s wife Rebecca Buchannan, was really a Bohannon? Something to keep in mind. We also see that in Rhoda’s mother’s will she leaves inheritance to her grandchildren “born of her daughter Rhoda’s body”, indicating she was not leaving anything to the children of John’s first marriage, George, Rebecca, Elizabeth or John. John and Rhoda’s children were: Samuel D. b.c 1783; Robert b.c.1785 d.22 Sep 1840 KY (m. Elizabeth “Betsy” Haley); Margaret b.24 Jan 1788 Woodford Co., KY d.17 Mar 1856 IL (m. John Douglass); Hosea b.c.1790 d.btw 1853 and 1860 Maury Co., TN (m. Jane Witt); James Berryman b.25 Sep 1795 Barren Co., KY d.12 Feb 1862 Sumner Co., TN (m.1. Permelia Haley; m.2. Jane Parrish); Frank; and Caria Allen “Cary” b.1798 Barren Co., KY d.1884 Greene Co., MO (m. Jane Matthews). Cary appears to be the “Allen” listed in his father’s will in 1811 as still of school age, which would fit with his 1798 birth. There is a persistent thought that this Caria Allen Jamison was a son of John Jameson and Martha Cook. That someone handed the name Martha down as the mother of Cary, not Rhoda. But you can see I mentioned earlier that John James Jameson (m. Martha Cook) was b.1710 d.1759 NC. He could not be Cary’s father with that age difference. I believe this John (m. Rhoda) is his father. John left Lincoln Co./Woodford Co., KY area and in 1783 they are in several land deeds in Botetourt Co., VA. Then about 1795 (or earlier) came to Barren Co., KY settling at Prewett’s Knob. He sold items in about 1801 indicating he was about to leave the county. An 1806 sale of land in Barren Co., KY states that John and Rhoda Jamison of Wilson Co., TN sold to Henry Haley (their daughter in law Betsy’s father) 530 acres, 3 surveys in Barren. Henry had been a neighbor to them in Barren County prior to their move. But at this time John and Rhoda were already living in Wilson Co., TN. John died in Maury Co., TN in 1811. Rhoda and son James B. came back to Barren County. His will indicates his children were as I have them listed above. Would love to have someone from the Caria Allen Jameson line YDNA test, as well as one other son of John to YDNA test. Would love to see a comparison of the YDNA with the Robert H. Jamison line and to our Jameson line.
