http://www.stupakgen.net/Genealogy/Spencer/00656_jami.htmJohn Jameson was born 1680 in County Galway, Ireland, and died 1736 in York County, Pennsylvania. He is a son of James . John married 1702 in Pennsylvania,
Rachael Opdyke. She was born about 1680 in New York, and died about 1728 in York Co, Pennsylvania.Opdyke is Dutch, and means “of the dike”, i.e. someone living in the low coastal areas in the Netherlands. Rachael’s family is said to have been in New York (New Netherlands) since the early 1600’s, but we have no records of her ancestry to back this story up.
John came to America in 1700 with his father and brother. They probably landed first in New York, before moving on to Pennsylvania. He married Rachael two years after arriving, in Chester County Pennsylvania. Rachael’s religion is unknown; their children were raised as Presbyterian.
John and Rachael had seven children:
(1) James Jameson was born in 1704 in York Co,Pennsylvania, and died in Essex Co, New Jersey.
(2) Samuel Jameson (~1705 PA - 1788 VA) and Jane ___
(3) Alexander Jameson was born in 1706 in York Co, Pennsylvania, and died Oct 1797 in Albemarle Co, Virginia. He married first, Phoebe Lewis. She was born about 1710, and died in 1731 in Pennsylvania. Alexander married second, in 1740 in Virginia, Rhoda Jameson. Rhoda is probably a cousin, but the exact relation is unknown.
Alexander and Rhoda had one son that we know of: George Jameson was born in 1744 in Virginia. He was a private in the Augusta County militia.
(4) Thomas Jameson was born in 1708 in York Co, Pennsylvania. He married in 1734 in Culpeper Co, Virginia, Samantha Bell Willis. Thomas served in the French and Indian War.
(5) John Jameson was born in 1711 in York Co, Pennsylvania, and died in 1788 in Albemarle Co, Virginia. He married Margaret White.
(6) David Jameson was born in 1714 in York Co, Pennsylvania, and died in Virginia. He married in 1740, Elizabeth Crawford.
(7) Jane Jameson was born in 1716 in York Co, Pennsylvania, and died in Virginia. She married Abner Bird. Jane and Abner had one son that we know of.Researcher's note: There were several children.
Abner Bird was born about 1745 in Virginia, and died in Kentucky. He married 7 Mar 1791 in Franklin Co, Virginia, Jane Jameson, daughter of Thomas Jameson and Hannah Taggart. Abner and Jane are first cousins, once removed, both descending from John Jameson and Rachael Opdyke.
Samuel Jameson was born about 1705 in York Co, Pennsylvania, and died 1788 in Woods Gap (Albemarle) Virginia. He is a son of John Jameson [656] and Rachael Opdyke [657]. Samuel married Jane (Craig?). She was born sometimes around 1705, and died 24 Dec 1803 in Albemarle Co, Virginia
Jane’s surname is unknown. Another website source guesses that her name may be Jane Craig, based on names of her nieces and nephews. I have seen nothing solid to support or refute this. Samuel left home in Pennsylvania and moved to Virginia, probably before 1730. His sister and most brothers also moved to Virginia, but the parents remained in Pennsylvania.
Samuel and Jane originally lived in Goochland County in central Virginia, but settled farther west in Albemarle County around 1740. He filed a patent for land on Moorman’s River in Albemarle County in 1741. He patented another 300 acres on Spring Creek in 1747. They were Presbyterians, and are listed as members of the Ivy Creek Presbyterian Church in 1747, pledging 1 pound per year. They were farmers, living on the edge of the Blue Ridge Mountains. They owned several slaves.
Samuel and Jane had five children:
1. Alexander Jameson (1731 VA - ) had descendants
2. Thomas Jameson [164] (1732 VA - 1830 IN) and Jane Dickey.
3. Mary Jameson was born 26 Dec 1742 in Woods Gap (Albemarle) Virginia.
4. John Jarman Jameson was born 21 Feb 1746/47 in Woods Gap (Albemarle) Virginia.
5. Samuel Jameson (1753 VA - 1805 VA) had descendants.http://www.stupakgen.net/Genealogy/Spencer/00328_jami.htm

* Died: Sep 1788, Fredericksville Parish, Albemarle Co., Virginia about age 78
General Notes by Scott Jameson:Mr. Jamison settled in Albemarle county in 1747. On June 25th, he and wife, Jane, agreed to an indenture with James McHaney on 300 acres on a branch of Spring Creek, patented to Samuel Jameson; witnesses- John McColloch, and John and Alexander Jameson.
It's possible that Samuel and his father, John Jamison, followed the Scotch leaders Michael Woods and William Wallace across the Blue Ridge in 1734 and settled into what was then Goochland county, VA. The Mountain Plains Presbyterian Church was built at Mechum's River and in 1746 the same group built the Rockfish Church in 1747. Those who subscribed a pound annually to the church's coffers were Michael Woods, William Woods, Archibald Woods, William Wallace, Davis Stockton, Samuel Jamison, Joseph Kincaid, and John McCord.
On August 10, 1752, Mr. Jamison and wife, Jean, of the first part, made an indenture with James Wharey, of the second part for the "consideration of forty pounds Current money of Virginia" for a 300 acre tract in Albemarle county on the branches of Spring Creek. This land was bounded by Charles Miller and Samuel Jammerson and granted to Jamison by a patent dated June 25, 1747. Witnesses: John McColloch, John Jamison, Alexander Jameson.
In 1755 he purchased 62 acres on the north side of Moorman's River. Five years later he purchased 90 more acres at the same spot. In 1765 he purchased a deed from Archibald Woods at a site called Woods Gap and bordering alonside William Macord's. He also was indentured October 8, 1764 to Archibald and Isabela Woods for a tract at Old Gap on top of Blue Ridge. The land lay on the eastern slopes of the Blue Ridge Mountains and that Wood's Gap was later called Jamison's Gap and finally Turk's Gap. Jamison's Gap laid upon a spur called Jamison's Mountain which later became Pigeon Top. Witnessed by John Dickey, Andrew Leachey, Alexander Jemason, and Andrew Wallace.
Mr. Jameson received from his father for forty pounds a tract on the north side of Moorman's River March 13, 1765, a part of a patent sold to John Jamison June 1, 1741. Recorded March of 1765, it was witnessed by Alexander Jameson, Nathan Woods, James McHaney, and Thomas Jameson.
In 1776, a Petition was signed by the Albemarle and Amherst dissenters: Thomas Wherry, John Jameson, Samuel Jameson, Thomas Craig, and Thomas Jameson. On August 11, 1785, an indenture between Samuel Jameson and Thomas German was made and witnessed by Maxey Ewell, Samuel Jamison Jr., and William Jameson.
Mr. Jamison's will was dated June 2, 1787 and probated September of 1788[5]. He names sons, Alexander, Thomas, Samuel, and John; sons Alexander and Thomas and Robert McCulloch, executors. Jane's will was dated December 4, 1796 and probated in court in June of 1804[9].

(15). Albemarle county, Virginia was settled by the followers of Michael Woods and William Wallace. They traveled across the Blue Ridge in 1734 and built a Presbyterian Church at Mountain Plains, near Mechum's River. In 1746 these same people erected the Rockfish Church and a school, and in 1747 a call was sent to Rev. Samuel Black, V. D. M. of Pennsylvania by the curch of Mountain Plains and the inhabitants of Ivy Creek. Those contributing a pound or more each were Michael Woods, William Woods, Archibald Woods, William Wallace, Davis Stockton, Samuel Jameson, Joseph Kincaid, and John McCord. Mountain Plains was later taken over by the Baptists. Only five Baptist churches were in Albemarle county, these were: Albemarle, aka Buck Mountain or Chestnut Grove, 1767; Totier, 1775; Prethis, or Priddy's Creek, 1784; Hephzibah, 1802; and Whitesides, or Mount Ed, 1788.John Jamison and his son, Samuel, resided in the vicinity of Moormans and Mechums River. See Index #30433, ref. [11] patent book 19, p. 1058; John Jamison's land bordered the eastern part of Thomas Moorman's, whose land encompassed the lands to the north and west of Moorman's River and Jamisons and along the Mechum River. Later, the Jamisons branched out from here west toward Woods Gap and south to Ivy Creek.
Ivy Creek, March 29, 1747-

The Jamesons were settled at an early day on Moorman's River, both above and below Whitehall. John Jameson took out a patent for land on the north side of that stream in 1741, and Samuel, his brother or son, on the branches of Spring Creek in 1747. In 1765 Samuel purchased the land in the old Woods Gap from Archibald Woods, who had entered it in 1756. His son Alexander sold it in 1809 to David Stephenson of Augusta. Samuel died in 1788. He and his wife Jean had nine children, four of whom were Alexander, Thomas John and Samuel.
Samuel Jr., died about 1805. His wife's name was Margaret, and his children were Hannah, the wife of William Harris, Jane, the wife of William Maupin, Elizabeth, the wife of a Harris, Catharine, the wife of Nathan Mills, Mary, the wife of Nehemiah Birckhead, William and Samuel. Some of the sons of this family were mighty hunters, as is manifest from their frequent reports of wolf scalps to the County Court.
Researcher's note: The following Thomas Jameson appears to be the son of Alexander Jameson (1731-1798) & unknown wife. Thomas was born in 1765 in Albermarle. He married Evelina Alcock, and died in Washington, VA in 1823.
It is supposed that Thomas Jameson, who was a physician in busy practice in Charlottesville the early part of the century, was a scion of this stock. In 1806 he lived on the lot on which the family of J. J. Conner resides at present, and which he purchased from William G. Garner. In one of his conveyances it is described as being "on the upper street leading out to Jameson's Gap," that being evidently the name of what is now called Turk's Gap. He married Evalina, daughter of William Alcock, and sister of the second wife of John Kelly. In 1815 he sold his residence to Mr. Kelly, and it is believed emigrated to the West.
Pg. 129, Presbyterian
Presbyterians were settled in the county while it was yet a part of Goochland. The colony of Scotch Irish who came over the Blue Ridge in 1734 under the auspices of Michael Woods, brought with them the faith of their fathers. Among these were the families of Wallace, Kinkead, Stockton, McCord and Jameson. Further to the south along the base of the Ridge were the Morrisons, McCues, Montgomerys, Reids and Robertsons. These last were the founders of Rockfish Church, located in the forks of Rockfish River. About 1746 James McCann, who had patented the land in 1745 , conveyed to John Reid, James Robertson and Samuel Bell one acre and thrity-five poles, for the Rockfish Church, and for a school for the inhabitants of that vicinity.
Among the families first mentioned two churches were established.

Jacob Boehm, born circa 1693 in Zweibrücken, Palatinate, was an early Mennonite immigrant to Pennsylvania. He is traditionally stated to have arrived in Conestoga Township (present-day Pequea Twp., Lancaster Co., PA) in 1712 or 1715. It is more likely that he arrived with the second group of Mennonites in 1717. Jacob and his wife, Barbara Kendig, had twelve known children. The descendants of this immigrant family number in the tens of thousands today and are located throughout North America.
"Reminiscences, Historical and Biographical, of Rev. Henry Boehm", Rev. J. B. Wakeley, D.D., 1875, pp. 10-11.
Written by his grandson Henry:
He had several children, of whom Jacob, the third, was my grandfather. He was born in 1693, and emigrated to this country in 1715. Many of the Mennonites emigrated from Switzerland and Germany.My grandfather was induced to come to America from the glowing description given of this country by Martin Kendig, one of the seven families who had settled in what is now Lancaster County, PA. He landed in Philadelphia, from thence went to Germantown, then to Lancaster, and finally settled in Pequea, Conestoga Township. Soon after he married a Miss Kendig. My grandfather was a lay elder in the Mennonite Society.
Soon after his arrival he bought a farm and built him a house. He was also a blacksmith, the first in all that region.
