Life History

Notes

• ----------------------------
  Jesse's mother was Mary Jamison.  This has been much debated, but I believe that this is accurate.  One strong indication is that he gave his first son the middle name of Jameson, Mary's maiden name.  We also know that Mary had a slave named Nancy, a dowery from her father David Jameson, and who had served as nanny to her children.  Jesse named his second daughter Nancy.
  
  We know Mary Jameson was mother to Charlote Ann Gregory because she appears as the bride's mother on February 20, 1815 when Charlote Ann married her husband Lewis Templeman in Bath County Kentucy.  Charlote Ann was born, according to several reports, in Prince William County Virginia in 1793, exact date unspecifed.  We know Mary Jamison lived in Prince William County with her husband Benjamin Gregory, where he died in September of 1798.  It is not a huge reach to name Jesse as very likely born in Prince William County.
  
  We believe Jesse and Charlote Ann were brother and sister, partly because Jesse named his frstborn daughter Charlote, and partly because Mary's brother Benjamin Jamison named a daughter Charlote.
