Then landed and settled in South Pennsylvania on River Susquehanna not far from York. His parents lived and died in Glasgow, Scottland. Enroute to America, he was held up by Blackbeard the pirate, in mid-ocean, and divested of his coat-of-arms, which, unfortunately, was ornamented with metallic substances resembling gold and silver, which attracted the cupidity of the freebooter, and, tradition says, that James Jamison grieved more over the loss of his outer garment than all his property, and, when he arrived at" the land of the free and the home of the brave," he was a "poorer, but a wiser man," about fifty years old, bearing the simple cognomen of James Jamison.
