George Jamison , according to the Bible records migrated to Breton,( now known as Potosi) Washington County, Missouri and arrived there May 3rd, 1814. From there they removed to William Hills Saw Mill in Pinery, Missouri October 21, 1817, but by May of 1818 they were in their own home on Bate's Creek, Washington County, Missouri. By March 13 1820 they moved once again to Mill Creek.

Mrs. Jamison's parents Jonathan and Frances Logan set out from Christian County, Kentucky to St. Francis River in Lousiana November 27, 1808.
0bit: THE TIMES, CITY OF LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS, APRIL 18, 1836
DIED: In Johnson County, near Morrison's Bluff, on Saturday, the 26th of March, after an illness of only seven days, George Jamison, of pleurisy, in the fifty-sixth year of his age. Judge Jamison emigrated to this Territory from Missouri, previous to the deluge of the Arkansas River, which laid waste a beautiful farm, swept off his houses, and drowned all his horses, cattle, hogs, etc., leaving him for a while almost destitute of the conveniences of life. A few short months later, and he sustained a still greater loss - the bereavement of his bosom friend and partner. Since which his life has been up to the moment of his death, a series of misfortunes. His greatest solicitude was for his children, whom he has left to mourn his speedy departure. Innumerable friends have been deprived of a generous, high-minded and sincere friend.
SOME THOUGHTS:
What an awful time the family must have had when the terrible floods wiped them out in 1833. Then Polly died two or three months after giving birth to Frances Thurman, who followed her mother in August of that same year, 1834. The children, at their mother's death, ranged in age from three to twenty-five. Then their father died two years later. Who cared for them after that? The 1840 Pope County Census shows that both R. W. Jamison and J.R.H. Scott, Nancy Evans husband, had young household members who could not have been their own children. Where were George Washington and Sally Jamison living in 1840, after having been married in 1839?
