• John C. Jamison, retired farmer, Biggsville. In writing the history of Henderson county it is rarely the privilege of the biographer to sketch the life of one having a continuous residence in the county since 1829. Nevertheless that man is found in the person of Mr. Jamison. He was born in Grayson county, Kentucky, February 3, 1811, on the same day which gave birth to the venerable Horace Greeley. His father, Samuel Jamison, was born in Pennsylvania, and his grandfather, James Jamison, was a native of Ireland. He, with his parents, emigrated to America about the middle of the seventeenth century, being then but a boy. He, with his son Samuel (the father of our subject), emigrated from Brownsville, Virginia, via the rivers, to where Louisville, Kentucky, now stands, though at that time the place could boast of only one log cabin. Here Samuel married Sarah Rowland, by whom he had born to him three sons. Lost his wife by death; remarried, and in 1819 removed to Perry county, Indiana. His second marriage was with Mrs. Melinda (Richards) Short. His mother, before marriage, was Miss Elizabeth Ewing, a lady whose family were noted for their rare moral and intellectual worth. In 1830 he emigrated to Henderson county, Illinois, where he died August 20, 1845. Having spent the greater part of his life in the tall timbers of Kentucky and Indiana, he attained to a great degree those characteristics and great physical powers so honored and loved among the true pioneers. Of his three sons, John C. may be mentioned as the pioneer of the family in Henderson county. His father sent him here in 1829 prospecting for a suitable locality, with a view to settling the family, which was done the following year. He was married in this county September 15, 1836, to Miss Sarah Stice, a native of Montgomery, Illinois. She died August 8, 1879, where she so long lived and reared her family. The children are Martha (wife of Wm. Bell), James W. and Tabitha, living; Caroline, Thomas and William H., deceased. By industrious labor and good management Mr. Jamison has secured a competency of this world's goods, owning, besides his residence in Biggsville, a fine farm of 250 acres, in Secs. 6 and 7.
