Memoranda

Mr. Jameson, possibly, may have been the oldest son of James [1] and Sarah Jameson of Boston. Mass. He was a tailor by trade, an inhabitant of Charlestown, Mass. In 1676 he served as a soldier in Turner's company.

"William Jamison and Sarah Price were married Oct. 18 1677 by Daniel Gookin, Magistrate."

"Goodman William Jimmerson became a Church member Oct. 16th 1681."

"William Jamison, tailor, Charlestown, Mass., became a member of the Scots' Charitable Society Oct. 25, 1684."

"William Jamisone was chosen Feb. 24, 1685 one of the four Assistants for careing on of this good worke in order to the relief of oure poore. "

"William Jameson was chosen May 5, 1702 one of the two key-keepers and May 4, 1703 he was chosen Vice President of the Scots' Charitable Society."

Mr. Jameson's children were all of the first marriage. Mrs. Jameson's father, Matthew Price, was a tailor from 1654 to 1660, of Charlestown, and later, in 1668, of Salem, Mass. It is quite probable that Mr. Jameson learned his trade of his future father-in-law.

Mr. Jameson by trade was a tailor. He was made sole executor of his father's will and heir to one half of his estate, by paying £15 to the widow.
