Children

General Notes: Husband - Francis Jamison


The family landed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and proceeded west to the Cove or Connoshaque, near Mercersburg, Franklin County. In 1769, the land office being opened for Westmoreland County, the two older brothers, John and Robert, went there to settle. Marmaduke, the third son, passed his summers on a farm in Mercer County, and spent the winter months in the families of his brothers.
He served through the War of the Revolution. Subsequently with his wife and family, in company with his brothers-in-law McCartney and Kilgore and their families, he removed to some place in Kentucky and was not much heard from afterward. It happened, however, during the War of 1812, that James and Robert, sons of Robert Jameson, John and Benjamin, sons of John Jameson, a son of Francis Jameson, and a son of Mr. Kilgore, the two last from Kentucky, all being soldiers in the army, these six cousins met at Fort Meigs, Ohio, and discovered their relationship.
