This web site is established and maintained by Jameson Family Cemetery, Inc. as a service to the families and friends of the descendants of William Jameson Sr. (born December 17, 1737 in Ireland, died December 23, 1818) who immigrated to America about 1750.

Based on known records, we believe that William Jameson Sr. arrived in present-day Spartanburg County, near present-day Landrum, South Carolina, around 1760 and settled along, what came to be called, Jameson's Mill Creek, at the headwaters of Pacolet and Tyger rivers. The settlement site is also near two Revolutionary War engagements at Jameson's Station (aka Jameson's Fort, Old Fort Gowen). About 1790, he moved with his family to Pendleton District in present-day Pickens County, just north of present-day Easley, South Carolina. His only son, William Jameson Jr., with wife Rebecca Fowler, settled nearby and are buried in Jameson Cemetery. Descendants trace their ancestry from the eleven children of William Jameson Jr. and Rebecca Fowler.
