Antrim County is part of Northern Ireland in the map left.  Belfast, Ireland, is shown in the lower right corner of Antrim County in the map at right.  A Jamison is listed with the elite of the LaMant clan from the Glasgow area that were massacred by the Campbells in the late 17th century.  The Jamisons were probably Scotch-Irish--inhabitants of Scotland that fled to nearby Northern Ireland--as were the McCartneys and Lemons/Lemmons/Lemans/Lamons.

1. Francis¹ Jamison was born Bet. 1726 - 1728 in Belfast, Ireland, and died 1792 in Pleasant Unity, Westmoreland County, PA. He married Margaret.

Notes for Francis Jamison:

from http://www.jamison.oilcreekgenealogy.com/:
       "...[Francis and Margaret are] buried in Middle Church Cemetery, north of Mt. Pleasant, Mt. Pleasant Township...

"Francis Jamison's ancestors might have been associated with the Clan Gunn in Caithness, in northeast Scotland. The circumstances for the move to the north of Ireland is not known. Probably they were part of the seventeenth century resettlement of lowland Scots to northern Ireland, the so-called Scottish plantations. The Jamisons were eventually located in Buckna, probably the Parish of Racavan, County Antrim. Buckna is about 5 miles northeast of Ballymena and about 40 miles northwest of Belfast. There is no evidence that the Jamisons were landowners. One account suggests they were linen weavers. But they could have been tenant farmers and hence possible subject to extravagant rents. Perhaps this 'rack-renting' or differences between the established Church of England and the Presbyterian Church or both influenced their decision to emigrate to North America. Regardless, a certificate, dated 17 July 1764, Buckna, attesting to the family's good standing in the the Presbyterian Church and 'wherever it may please providence to cast their lot' is good evidence that the      family shortly was to emigrate to North America.
       "The certificate...was given to the great grandfather [Francis] of Joseph Jamison. 'That Francis Jamison, his wife and family lived within the bounds of this congregation from their infancy, always behaving themselves in a sober, regular and Christian manner, free from all public scandal or church censure, and may by admitted to church privileges in any Christian soviety wherever it may please providence to cast their lot...'
       "The family was probably in North America by late summer, 1764, landing in Philadelphia. One account states they first settled in Maryland, near the location of the 1862 Battle of Antietam. But most accounts infer they went directly to present-day Franklin County, Pennsylvania. The family settled in western Franklin County, the Conococheague area which at one time consisted of several settlements including Conococheague Station. According to Jamison (1992), page B-5, the Conococheague area...was a few miles west of Mercersburg... However, since the Conococheague area would encompass any part of the Conococheague valley, and the stream heads west of Mercersburg (flowing southeast), the Jamison site could be west of Mercersburg, in which case it would be in Montgomery Township.
       "The opening of the Land Office in Westmoreland County in 1769 probably induced Francis's two oldest sons, Robert and John, to take out claims in Westmoreland County. Regardless, John and Robert apparently came to what would in a few years (1773) be Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, in 1769. Robert's claim was in the Pleasant Unity area and John's was further north, on Dry Ridge, between present-day Greensburg and Latrobe. ...the land was improved with the brothers returning to Franklin County in the autumn. In 1773, both Robert and John married in Franklin County.
       "Apparently the remaining brothers and sisters soon followed Robert and John west, but not Francis, Sr., and Margaret. However, both Francis and Margaret died in Westmoreland County, either while visiting their children or after coming to Westmoreland County to live with their children. According to the Kepler letters (1979-80), Francis, Sr., and Margaret continued to live in Cumberland or Franklin County, but died while visiting their children in Westmoreland County. And then this from the Kepler letters: 'our family story hints at drowning in an accident--fording a river.' "

Jamison/McCartney info from "Francis Jamison of Franklin County, Pennsylvania," mcquoidg.tripod.com/frm216.htm:              

     '...the son of Scottish immigrants. He and his wife died in 1792 on a trip to see their children in Westmoreland County. Mr. Jamison married Margaret ??? and they resided in Buckina (Buncrana?), Antrim Co., Ireland and Westmoreland Co., PA.

     "Mr. Jamison emigrated about 1764 to Philadelphia settling in eastern Pennsylvania before removing in 1766 to Franklin Co., PA. A document exists [3] which states that "Francis Jamison, his wife, and family of four sons and three daughters had lived in the bounds of that Congregation from their infancy and that this would admit them to church privileges in any Christian society where it might please providence to call their lot. Signed, Buckina Buncrana?), this 17th day of July 1764 by me John Logan, Moderator."

     "One source indicates that Francis Jamison and family resided for a time in Maryland, but this should not be confused with the Francis Jamison who emigrated [sic] to Maryland settling in Frederick Co., MD in 1769 with his two sons, John W. and William Jamison. These folks removed first to Cumberland Co., PA and then went on to Indiana Co., PA, the county north of Westmoreland, while our subject settled in Westmoreland county dying in Pleasant Unity. Mr. Jamison (5 d) along with his children Francis J. (single, 6d), John (1s, 6d), Marmaduke (single, renter, 3s), and Robert (3s, 1d) were listed in the 1798 taxes for Unity.'

from "History of Westmoreland County, Volume II Pennsylvania," by John N. Boucher New York, The Lewis Publishing Company, 1906, pp. 37 & 38:
     '...The family history in this country begins with Francis Jamison, SR., who with his wife, four sons and two daughters emigrated from the north of Ireland in 1764, and settled in Franklin county, Pennsylvania. His children were: John, Robert, Margaret, Roseanne. Marmaduke, and Francis. Mr. and Mrs. Francis Jamison, Sr., lived to a ripe old age, and both died while on a visit to their children in Westmoreland county and are buried at Ridge Church.
     'Robert S. Jamison was born near Greensburg, Pennsylvania, July 13, 1835, and died March 14, 1903, at Redlands, California, where he had gone a few weeks before on account of ill health. In his youth he received a fair common school education, and having been reared on the farm became a land-holder almost as soon as he was of legal age. Although devoting much time to other pursuits, he was a farmer all his life, and was a leader in scientific methods for improving the land, using labor-saving machinery and introducing new and better strains of live stock. He took an active part in establishing the Westmoreland Agricultural Society, being its president for a number of years. In early manhood his mind was attracted to the growing importance of the coal and coke industry of western Pennsylvania. With keen foresight of the needs of the future, he began to study the coal basins of his own locality. In 1880, associating himself with others, he began buying coal lands extensively in Westmoreland county and continued to do so for more than twenty years, and time has amply proved the wisdom of these ventures. All the properties purchased by him have become incorporated into large and flourishing industries. At the time of his death he was president and large owner of the coal and coke company that bears his name. In private life has was genial, fair, uniformly courteous and charitable. He was a member of the Second Reformed Church in Greensburg, and one of its officers of many years. He married Caroline Wible, also native to Greensburg, who died May 24, 1905. Both are buried in St. Clair cemetery. The names of their ten children are: Mary Emma died 1877; William W., Joseph Henry, died 1865; John M., Thomas S., Charles M., Robert S., Hugh D. Richard H., and Jay C. Jamison
     'John Jamison (1749-1819) came to Westmoreland county in 1769 with his brother Robert, and each took patent to about three hundred acres of land. Robert Jamison located in Unity township, and his grandson, Joseph Jamison, owns and still lives at the old homestead. John Jamison located in Hempfield township, and after remaining for more than one hundred years in his family the land is now owned by the Westmoreland Water Company, the present reservior covering the site of the original buildings. In 1774 John Jamison married Janet Martin*, daughter of John Martin, of Big Cove, Fulton county, Pennsylvania. She was a sister of Hugh Martin, who also came to Westmoreland county about that time. The children of Mr. & Mrs. John Jamison were: Francis, John, Hugh, Robert, Benjamin, James, Margaret, Janet, Mary, and Martha. Hugh and James inherited the old homestead and spent their lives upon it.
     'Hugh Jamison (1785-1873), father of Robert S. Jamison, married Jane Stuart in 1817. A farmer by occupation, he taught for many winters in the public schools near his home. He was a soldier in the war of 1812. His children were: John *1818-1902), Daniel Stuart (1822-1891), Hugh Martin, now living in the state of Texas; Margaret J., now living in Greensburg, and Robert S. Jamison (1835-1903).'

2. Mary "Molly/Mollie"² Jamison (Francis¹) was born March 23, 1758. She married James McCartney 1774 in Pennsylvania, son of Isaac McCartney. He was born April 11, 1745 in Londonderry, County Londonderry, Ireland, and died 1835 in Concord Twp., Ross Co., OH.

Notes for Mary "Molly/Mollie" Jamison:

from "Francis Jamison of Franklin...":

       'She [Molly] died August 25, 1846 Cass Co., IA. Miss Jamison married about 1778, Westmoreland Co., PA, James McCartney, born April 11, 1745, Londonderry, County Londonderry, Ireland, died 1835, Concord [Twp.] Ross Co., OH, the son of Isaac McCartney, b. Glasgow, Scotland. They resided in Westmoreland Co., PA; Ross Co., OH, and Campbell Co., KY.'

James McCartney's father Isaac was from Glasgow, Scotland. The map above shows Glasgow as just across the Irish Sea from Belfast, Antrim Co., Ireland.  Londonderry and Buncrana, Ireland, are to the north on the coast of Antrim County.

Notes for James McCartney:

from "Francis Jamison of Franklin..."

       'James McCartney was a Revolutionary soldier with the 4th PA Regiment and claimed a pension. He emigrated as a young man in 1770 from Ireland and after landing in Philadelphia settled out west in Westmoreland Co., PA. He was listed in the 1786 tax list with Jonathan Begg Jamison. William and Robert Jamison were purchasers of several tracts of land up for sale in 1836 after Mr. McCartney's death.

       'Revolutionary War Pension Claim #52772, 10/10/1832; State Papers, Ross Co., OH, v. 9, p. 196...'

from "Ross County, Ohio Families, Bicentennial Edition": 'James McCartney came to the colonies about five years before the Revolutionary War.  He fought in Westmoreland Co., PA; went to Bourbon Co., KY, in 1793, then ca. 1804 came to Ross Co., OH, where he resided until his death.

Henry Mallow's Company from Ross Co., OH.  their brother Isaac McCartney served in Capt. John R. Lemmons Company...'

from Stephen McCartney at RootsWeb.com, Message Boards, Ireland:

       "James served in the Revolution and received a pension... He stated that he arrived from County Londonderry in 1770-1771. A woman joined the DAR using him as her ancestor... James lived for 28 years in Bourbon County, Kentucky... He mentions a daughter Mary [middle or knick name?] and her husband, and the family bible with information in it. He died in Chillicothe, Ohio."

       "My research show that the name [McCartney] can mean: 'son of the bear,' 'son of the stone' or...'son of the argumentative one.' Most accounts which I have seen discounts any relationship to the MacArthys of Ireland. the name seems to have arisen...in both Scotland and Ireland. My ancestors were Ulster Scots, from County Londonderry..."

from Carol Livingston at GenForum.Genealogy.com:

       "James McCartney of Ross Co., Ohio, made the following statements in his application for pension for his service in the Rev. War. '...and he was born in the Co. of Londonderry, in Ire. on the 11th day of Apr. 1745 as appears by the record of his age in the old family bible of his father now in the possession of some of the heirs of John Tagart and Sarah, his wife, late of the Co. of Belmont in the state of Ohio dec/d, that he came to American about 4 or 5 years before the commencement of the Rev. War, and landed at Philadelphia, and afterward removed to Westmoreland Co., PA, from which place he was drafted to serve as a private soldier in the Militia...' This application was started on the 10th day of Oct. 1832."

from Cindi Schmerber at comcast.net:
"...Hattie Wooten Roberds [was]a relative who began researching the Lemon line back in the 1910's. Her husband eventually became a Mississippi State Supreme Court Justice, and she travelled with him to Washington, D. C. extensively to research at the National Archives as well as other areas in VA. She wrote many letters to people in the family, libraries, etc., and kept them all. In fact, she eventually became a professional genealogist and founded the first DAR chapter in MS.... Many of her letters are to and from relatives who were my Robert's granddaughters. I have already seen and scanned quite a few of them and placed those scans on the online site. There are 33 boxes of materials altogether, which are now in the possession of Hattie's granddaughter, a urologist in Austin, TX. She is allowing me to go through them at my own pace. I've got the first six that I am working on now. So far, there is nothing specifically about Joseph except one handwritten chart of all the brothers (it shows ten) and the one sister. The only thing it says about Joseph is "[went] to Kentucky."

from Nancy Royce, a researcher for McCartney and James Lee families:
       "I had checked the Ross Co., tax lists for Lees finding James Lee first listed in 1824 with Entry #408 of 100 ac. on Nf, of Paint, orig. proprietor Edward Duff. Listed with the same land as Lee is Elizabeth Lemon. Also on this tax list were Joseph Lemon, Andrew Lemon, Thomas Lemon, and James Lemon all with the same land listing of Entry # 2901 orig. Ntl. Massie, west of Scioto. Each one had a 27 ac. share of this property (this equals a total of 108 ac. ) I decided that the land most likely originally belonged to Elizabeth's husband Joseph Lemmon and at his death she got a portion and the boys got a portion...I went back to the tax list... 1826--tax for the Lemmon boys is the same but they are in Union Twp. and Elizabeth Lemon is in Concord... 1829--Thomas must have sold or died and left to brother James his 27 ac as James now has 56 ac. and Joseph and Andrew on the 27. Thomas is not on the list. [This may be the Thomas Lemon who is listed as a pioneer in the 1820s to Anderson Twp., Madison Co., IN--where Andrew and Joseph moved to in the 1830s-- by Samuel Harden in The Pioneer.]
       "...My take on this is she [Elizabeth "Betsey" McCartney] married Lemmon Mar 1799 and had the first child in 1800, then 1802, 1804, 1806, 1808, and possibly 1810 after Joseph died in 1809. Andrew shows his age as 42 in 1850 which puts him born 1808. A James Lemmon with a son Andrew is on the 1850 Sangamon Co., IL census age 48 born Ohio, so born 1802.
"I think Elizabeth had these four boys and possibly others though only these four got land. James Lee already had children when they married. And they had 3 children together, Francis Lee being the youngest."

 

from http://www. scioto.org/Ross/locations/townships.html:

       "Ross County was formed by proclamation of Governor St. Clair, 20 Aug 1798, being the sixth county formed in the Northwest Territory... In 1800, the seat of government of the Northwest Territory was removed by law of Congress from Cincinnati to Chillicothe. Chillicothe was incorporated 04 Jan 1802, and became the capital of the State of Ohio from 1803 to 1812..." (Chillicothe in Scioto Twp.; Christie-Rowe-Young Cemetery, Concord Twp. to the northwest of Chillicothe;)

Theory: Most likely Joseph Lemon's father was James/John Lemon/Lemmon, Sr., who died circa 1782. James, Sr., immigrated from Tyrone County, Ireland before 1760 with his sons, and he and his nine sons--John, James, Robert, William, Samuel, Joseph, Thomas, etc., were all Revolutionary War veterans, according to other researchers of this family. The family was from Cumberland-Westmoreland Co., PA, area. Westmoreland County was made in 1773 from Bedford County which was made in 1771 from Cumberland County which was made in 1750 from Lancaster County, PA. In this regard, Joseph Lemon is found along with other members of his family living in the region populated by other families who eventually had connections to the settling of Ohio-- the names of Seller/Sellar/Zellar, Finley, Hinkson, McCartney, Johnston, McDonald, etc.
It is my working theory that our Joseph Lemmon/Lemon was the son of James/John Lemon/Lemmon, Sr., that he participated in the Revolutionary War and was in, among others, the Crawford/Sandusky Campaign and possibly was a member of Hinkson's Rangers, that after the war he moved with some of his brothers to Bourbon Co., KY, and then around 1798-99 moved to the north fork of Paint Creek, as land records show, northwest of Chillicothe, Ross Co., OH, and that this is the Joseph Lemmon who married Elizabeth McCartney in 1799 in Ross Co., OH--according to records--and who fathered our Andrew Lemmon/Lemon, b.c. 1809-10 and his brothers.

"James [sr.] immigrated with his family from County Tyrone, Ireland sometime in the early 1750s. He apparently served in Captain John McClellans Company of the 7th Company, 6th Battalion, Cumberland County Militia in 1770 during the Revolution along with his sons William, James, Joseph, and Robert."

5. from Lemon researcher Cindi Schmerbers, schmerbers@comcast.com:
       "William Lemmon's father's name was James. They came from County Tyrone, Ireland, sometime in the early-to-mid 1750s. William and Robert, my ancestor also had brothers named John, Joseph... I have found the name as Lemon, Lemons, Lemmon, Lemmons, Lamon, and Lemmun. James, Sr., and William, Robert, John, Joseph, and James, Jr., all fought in the Revolution. My father owns the sash that Robert was given during the Revolution when he was promoted to the rank of orderly sergeant...
       "If I am right, the brother named George was also married in Berkeley County VA (now WV) three years after my Robert married Mary McCown, by the same minister. If so, this George was the grandfather of Ward Hill Lamon, who was Abraham Lincoln's best friend, law partner, and bodyguard on the trip from Illinois to Washington, DC, when Lincoln had to sneak into town to be inaugurated. Ward Hill chose to spell the name Lamon, since he believed that was supposed to have been the way it was originally spelled."
