General Notes: Husband - Alexander Jamison


He and his wife were of Scotch extraction, but were natives of county Antrim. The family came to America in 1842, settling on a farm twenty miles south of Shenango, Mercer County, Pennsylvania. They were members of the Cumberland Presbyterian church. He lived to be fifty years old, and his wife survived him many years and died at eighty-four.

He and his wife came to America in 1847, landing in New York April 14. In July of the same year they, with three of their children, came by canal as far as Buffalo, NY, and from there to Erie in a boat, then on foot to Irishtown, Mercer County, Pennsylvania. They purchased a farm in Lake Township. They reared a family of nine children.

He was a stonemason and a farmer.
