Samuel JAMESON

1789 - 1867  (77 years)

• Name	Samuel JAMESON  [1]
  Birth	22 May 1789	Dunbarton, Hillsborough (now Merrimack) Co., NH   [2]
  E.O. Jameson has Samuel born in Canandaigua, Ontario Co., NY. [1] Samuel's place of birth is not really known. It is unlikely to have been in the Canandaigua area of New York state, as the family was not though to have arrived there until about 1790, after Samuel's birth. On the other hand there does not seem to be any record of his birth in New Hampshire, either. It could be that Samuel was born someplace between New Hampshire and their arrival in New York.

• Notes

  Samuel Jameson came to Northern Illinois As a grown man, prior to the Black Hawk War (1830-33) with the Indians and to get free land. He served as a Federal officer during the conflict with the famous Indian chief and his warriors. He and his family were no doubt, all at Apple River Fort when it was attacked on June 24, 1832 by about 150-200 warriors led by Black Hawk, himself. Samuel had located his land before the war?s outbreak and returned to it after laying aside his musket. He had secured it from the government, and there had not been turned a furrow upon it when he settled thereon. This land remained in the family until the 1970's when Paul Jameson, son of Samuel C. Jameson died. Samuel C. Jameson, son of Samuel and Matilda and known by our family as "Uncle Sam'' farmed the land as long as he lived. The family farm lay to the west of Hanover about one and a half miles, and the railroad passed very near it. On the Platte Map of the township in 1873 Mrs. Jameson's land is shown as 126 1/4 acres, laying to the east of W. Dean and J. Craig, southwest of Hanover, between the Mississippi River bottoms and the Apple River.
