• Notes

  This James Jempison, is said to have married Sarah UNK, and had the children listed here: He is sometime thought to have arrived in Boston in 1651 and then died in 1661, ten years later. There was a Sarah Jameson how joined the Church in Boston in 1647. No other Jam?son were know to be in Boston at or around that time, so many/most genolgists conclude these Jamesons are as we have them listed here!
