The Romance of Your Name. BY RUBY HASKINS ELLIS. /4 Jameson I THIS surname is derived from the +™ personal name James, the first appearance of which, in England, was in the Domesday book. The name James gave rise to many other surnames, as well as being one in itself, Such names as Jempson, Jem~ mett, Jameson and Jamieson are familiar to every one. The Scottish family assumed the spelling Jamieson, while those of English extraction have adhered to the form Jameson. The coat of arms here shown was found on the will of James Jameson, which was probated in x County, Va,, in 1736. In that will he men- tioned three sons, James, Thomas and David. James, the son born in 1720, married Mildred, the daughter of Edmund and Agnes Smith. Ed- mund Smith was descended from the Martains and the Reades of York- town and through them was a kins- man of George Washington. David Jameson was a member of the Privy Council of Virginia in 1777, served as lieutenant governor in 1781 and in 1783 was & member of the State Benate. The coat of arms is blazoned: “Azure, a saltire or, cantoned with four ships under sail argent.” In the New England States we find the name Jameson represented in ‘Watertown, Mass., in 1642 by Robert; in Casco, Me, in 1685 by William.
