Dear Shelta I just finish tracing my Jamison History. I am decended from Sophia Jamison, Father Hugh Black Jamison of Murfreesboro TN. They are decended from A female Jamison who was kidnapped and she had several children by him. there is a park in her name. I will get more info for you. The Jamison comes in on my dad's side of the family. She married my great grandfather peeler. ----- Original Message ----- From: Shelta Shrum Sent: Friday, May 03, 2002 10:09 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [TNMACON] New page-Native Americans Dusty, Why don't you share some of these stories with us? One at a time. I think that they would be interesting. I don't know how much Native American stuff I can dig up but I will try. I will go through some of the things I did for my Johnson Journal a few years back, we claim Cherokee heritage on that side but it's from Clay, Jackson, and Polk County, TN as well as Union, and Gilmer County, GA and Lincoln Co., NC.
