Angela,
If you are still interested I can give you some additional information on Robert & Margaret McCutcheon Jameson & family.I work for the city which oversees the cemetery where they are buried, which was first known as Jameson Cemetery, since the land was donted by Robert.
There are also local accounts of the building on his property which was once a fort, to protect the settlers from indians around the War of 1812, then a schoolhouse, and a church.There is also a local story of an indian who patroled the fort at night to keep the settlers safe.
I provide a copy of Robert Jameson's will (dated 1849) and a list of all 15 children, along with birth dates, although I've found some errors in it.All are on file at the public library.
There was also a Robert McCutcheon who settled here shortly before Robert Jameson, reportedly coming from Augusta Co, VA.I think he may have been Margaret's brother.
If interested, you can contact me at [email protected] or [email protected] and time are free, just like to help out when I can.
