     Aaron Moore was born on 5 March 1831 at Bart, Lancaster Co, PA.¹ He married Mary Ann Blackbourn on 16 October 1859.^1,2 Aaron Moore was Type: Milit-Serv was a private in Company G, 104th Regiment of the Ohio Infantry Volunteers during the Civil War. He enrolled 9 Aug 1862 and was discharged 17 Jun 1865 at Greensboro, NC. between 1862 and 1865.³ He was a farmer at the time of his enrollment in the army on 9 Aug 1862. on 9 August 1862.³ He died on 10 September 1893 at Lancaster, Grant Co, WI, at age 62.¹

     Her married name was Moore. Mary Ann Blackbourn was born on 23 May 1843 at Swinehead, Lincolnshire Co, England.^1,2 She was baptized on 26 September 1844 at Lincolnshire Co, England.² She married Aaron Moore on 16 October 1859.^3,1 Mary Ann Blackbourn died on 7 October 1919 at San Fransisco, CA, at age 76.¹

     James Carson Jamison was born on 12 August 1778 at NC.^3,4 He was the son of John Jamison and Nancy (?). James Carson Jamison married Rosanna Dawson on 26 December 1798.³ In the 1810 Federal Census for Cabarrus Co, NC, we find a Jas Jamison with the following family: three males under 10; one male 10-15; one male 26-44; one male 45 & over; three females under 10; and two females 26-44. This is close to the ages I have for this family at this time with the exception of one male 45 & over; two females under 10; and one female 26-44. It almost looks like two families are living together. If you consider the fact that his father John and mother Nancy could have been living with them, and allow for the possibility that the second female in the 26-44 range really should have been in the 45 & over range, this looks like a good match. On the next page we find a Sam Jamison. Is he a brother to James?⁵

In the 1820 Federal Census for Cabarrus County, NC, page 142, line 29 is James Jamison with the following family: three males under 10; two males 10-16; one male 16-18; two males 16-26; one male 26-45; one female under 10; one female 10-16; one female 16-26; one female 45 & upward. These would be the exact ages of James and Rosanna and the children I have for them with the addition of one extra female age 16-26 who I don't have any record of at this time.⁶

The family moved from Mecklenberg County near Charlotte, NC in 1827 to Missouri, making the trip in covered wagons and arriving there on Christmas Day. They settled in Pike County on Guinn's Creek, three miles southeast of Paynesville. According to the article "James Carson Jamison" in the March 1943 issue of The Chronicles of Oklahoma, "James took up practically all the wild land on both sides of the creek from Smith's Mill to the south where it spread over the prairie."^1,2 Rosanna died on 23 Sep 1833.¹

James Carson Jamison married Elizabeth Wilson on 27 May 1835 at Pike Co, MO.^3,7,8 In the 1840 Federal Census for Pike County, there is a James Jamison Sr. listed with his household containing one male age 60-69 and one female age 50-59. This would be the age of James and I believe this to be his entry.⁹ James Carson Jamison died on 25 March 1845 at age 66.^10,11 He was buried at Jamison Cemetery, Lincoln Co, MO.¹¹ On 4 Feb 1846 the following Bond of Administrator was filed with the State of Missouri, Pike County:

James Jamison Estate. Bond of Administrator

Know all men by these presents that one James R. Patton is principal and James Anderson and Samuel Jamison as his sureties, are held and bound unto the State of Missouri in the sum of one thousand dollars for the true (?) payment of which we do hereby bind ourselves our heirs, Executors, and Administrator. Witness our hands and seals this second day of February in the year 1846. The condition of the above bond is, that if James R. Patton, Administrator of the Estate of James Jamison deceased, shall faithfully administer said Estate, account for, pay, and deliver all money and property of said Estate, and preform all other things touching said Administration required by Law, or the order of any court having Jurisdiction there (?), the above bond to be void, otherwise to remain in full force.

Jamison, Samuel Jamison of the County of Pike, Adam Jamison & the heirs of Joseph Jamison in Wisconsin Territory and the heirs of Jane Carr die (?) Of Rock Island City, Ill to the best of his knowledge and belief are the only heirs of James Jamison deceased, that said deceased died without a will, that he will make a perfect Inventory of and faithfully Administer all the Estate.

Considering the heirs mentioned above, it is apparent that sons William Jackson and Ephraim Washington died without heirs and before their father.¹⁰

     Rosanna Dawson was born on 2 March 1775 at NC.² She married James Carson Jamison, son of John Jamison and Nancy (?), on 26 December 1798.³ Rosanna Dawson died on 23 September 1833 at age 58.^1,2

I do not know if he actually did move to Montana or if he is dead by then.

     Adam Jamison was born on 15 August 1803 at Cabarrus Co, NC.¹ He was the son of James Carson Jamison and Rosanna Dawson. Adam resided there until 15 years of age when he moved to Pike Co, MO with his parents and siblings.² Adam Jamison married Nancy Sherwood, daughter of William Sherwood and Mary "Polly" Bradly, on 8 April 1830 at Pike Co, MO.^3,4 In the 1840 Federal Census for Pike County, there is an Adam Jamison listed with his household containing two males under 5; one male 30-39; and one female 20-29. These would be the ages of Adam and his family and I believe this to be his entry.⁵ In 1845 Adam and Nancy moved to Johnson Co, IL and in 1848 they went to Grant Co, WI and settled in the village of Beetown. Adam was a miner and farmer for many years. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church; was Justice of the Peace for two terms; Constable for two terms; and School Director for two terms.

     Elizabeth Jamison was born on 12 July 1805 at Cabarrus Co, NC.^1,2 She was the daughter of James Carson Jamison and Rosanna Dawson. Elizabeth Jamison married James R. Patton on 14 December 1825 at Pike Co, MO.^3,4,5 Elizabeth Jamison died on 18 July 1894 at age 89.²

     Samuel Jamison was born on 1 July 1807 at Cabarrus Co, NC.^1,2 He was the son of James Carson Jamison and Rosanna Dawson. According to one source, Samuel came to Missouri with his family on 25 Dec 1820, settling in Pike County where there were only seven other families within a range of ten square miles.² Samuel Jamison married Eliza Jane Bradley circa 1832.^3,4 Samuel Jamison married Jane Caroline Sherwood, daughter of William Sherwood and Mary "Polly" Bradly, on 13 October 1836 at Pike Co, MO.⁵ Samuel Jamison appeared on the 1840 Federal Census of Pike Co, MO, with a household listed as two males under the age of 5 (sons William Washington and Joseph Linn), two females between 5 and 10 (daughters Emiranda Sarah Jane and Margaret Melvina), and one female 15-19 (his wife Jane Caroline Sherwood).
