Notes |
- It is assumed that Enos and Nancy Jamison moved from Montgomery County, Tennessee to Gibson County, Tennessee sometime between 1850 and 1860.. It is also assumed that Robert Jamison (age 23 in 1850 and age 35 in 1860 ) is also a son of Enos and Nancy Jamison due to the fact that he also moved from Montgomery County to Gibson County during the same time period and that in 1860 he employed Chesterfield Jamison as a laborer. It is also assumed that Rita Vick was the mother of Ann Jamison, Robert Jamison's wife.
The J. Jamison listed in the 1860 Gibson County, Tennessee census is belived to be Josiah C. Jamison, son of Enos and Nancy Jamison, due to the fact that the ages are reasonably close, and that his youngest child is named Nancy, possibly after his mother. Nothing is known at this time about Sam Jamison.
Enos Jamison was born in Virginia and was a farmer all his life. He is listed in Montgomery County, Tennessee in 1850 and in Gibson County, Tennessee in 1860, the following people were listed in both: Jamison, Enos, 57 year of age,
Nancy 50 years of age
Elizabeth 30 years of age
