The following biography of Thomas Jameson, Sr., was posted to findagrave.com.  I am not the author.

 

From "Jameson's in America" by E.O. Jameson and transcribed by James Monroe Jameson.

Thomas Jamison was born Nov. 7, 1732 near Philadelphia,in York County Penn. 
Thomas was a Northern Virgina Planter. Thomas Jameson in his early manhood served in several engagements during the Indian Wars and he went with the Albemarle County militia under Washington throughout the campaign that ended on July 9, 1755, in Braddock's defeat. Soon after his marriage to Jane Dicky in 1756 in Loudon County, Virginia they removed to Georga. While a resident in Ga. four children were born, they were Samuel, John, Martha, and William. After his wife Jane died there in Ga. he removed to a place near Charlottesville, Albemarle County, Virgina where his brother Alexander Jameson was residing. Thomas then married Hannah Taggart in Lancaster, Pennsylvana about 1764. Their children are ;Mary(Mrs. Thomas Shelton), Jane(Mrs. Abner Bird), Nancy L.(Mrs. John Holcombe), Katherine(Mrs. Charles Perrin), Eleanor "Helen"(Mrs George Kirby), Margaret(Mrs. Samuel Glasgow), Alexander, Thomas, Hannah(Mrs. Samuel Ross), and Rhoda(Mrs. Samuel C.

With his three sons from his first marriage, Samuel, John and William joined in the Revolution and with his son John took part in the battle of Guilford Courthouse, North Carolina. In the early 1800's he brought his family to Jefferson County.

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
