This fellow is still our top BRICKWALL: Cary Allen Jameson, b. 1798 Barren Co., KY; father may have had a mill and been named James or John or both. Mother listed only by one g-grandson as possibly named Martha. Cary Allen m. James Matthews dau of James Matthews and Elizabeth Strother. They later removed to Gallatin, TN where apparently his father had moved and then on to MO. Cary Allen Jameson d. 1884 in Greene Co, MO. He had a son, James Matthews Jameson and a grandson Cary Allen Jameson. I have sufficient info about the first Cary Allen's progeny, but no clear info about his parents. In the past I have checked out all the Jameson families who lived in VA, then KY. One is a logical choice, but his will does not mention any Cary Allen; rather he had an Allen who d. at a different time. Also, have checked military records for VA and found possibilities. Cary Allen's son's obit (James Matthews Jameson) says that his grandfather was in the military . . . VA during the separation from England . . . but doesn't say whether the grandfather is Matthews or Jameson. Matthews was in said military. If anyone out there has any further leads, would appreciate them. Jim Justeson jimjusteson@cox.net

I could try to help, but this is a bit confusing to me. I thought Cary Allen Jameson was a man, but then you say Cary Allen m. James Matthews, daughter of James Matthews and Elizabeth Strother. Is Cary Allen Jameson, b. 1798 a man or woman? Also, if a man, and Cary Allen Jameson was born 1798 in Barren Co., then he would not have been in the military in the Revolutionary War ("separation from England"). He wasn't born until after the Revolutionary War. I don't know if this helps, but in a bio about the HINDMAN family of Barren Co., there is information that Robert Hindman Sr. of near Cave City, Barren County, was a Capt. in the War of 1812, and killed at Vincennes, Ind. This Robert Hindman married Malinda JEMERSON. Malinda JEMERSON was daughter of George Jemerson, who married his cousin, Elizabeth Jemerson, both born in Louisa County, VA. George came to Barren County early, having served in the War of 1812 under Gen. Harrison. The JEMERSON family first immigrated to Fayette County, Ky, from Virginia, and about 1795 settled in Barren County. George's father, Robert Jemerson, an Englishman, was in the Revolution, and was one of the first men to enter land in Barren County, where he became an extensive landholder. Then there is a bio for George JAMESON, b. 1856 in Barren Co., the 3rd of four children of Robert F. and Eliza J. Wilson Jameson. Robert F. Jameson was a son of George and Elizabeth Jameson (see above), natives of Virginia and of English origin. Robert F. was born in Barren Co. and died Sep 1884, age 79 years; wife Elizabeth Wilson born Barren Co., daughter of John and Rhoda (Martin) Wilson, natives also of Virginia. It appears the JAMESON and JEMERSON family are the same. Hope this helps a little. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Justeson" <jimjusteson@cox.net> To: <kybarren@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, October 07, 2007 8:51 AM Subject: [KYBARREN] Jameson (still a) BRICKWALL > This fellow is still our top BRICKWALL: > Cary Allen Jameson, b. 1798 Barren Co., KY; father may have had a mill and been named James or John or both.
