• Notes

  This George Jamesone is almost always said to be the son of Andrew and Marjory (Anderson) Jameson. although there is rarely any supporting proof or source for this pairing. George is surprisingly without any O.P.R. Birth record, even though his assumed siblings do. There are several other Jamesone families in St, Nichols, Aberdeen at that time, having children, they too all seem to have O.P.R. birth records. There is however, definitive proof of George as the second son of Andro in the way of specific references to 1607 documents from the Sasines Books of the Byrgh of Aberdeen, stating the connection in no uncertain terms (#s 4 & 5 on page 188). These references can be found in the appendix section (pages 187-193) of George Jamesone-The Scottish Vandyck, written by John Bulloch and published in 1885. George Jameson is attributed to having a coat of arms as: "Argent, a fessi wavy, azure, between three anchors." Motto, " Sine Metu " (Without Fear). The crest is a ship in full sail with a flag displayed. The shield, with bearings, is emblazoned in one of the eighty-four compartments into which the roof of the Aberdeen Town-Hall is divided." These arms are displayed on the cover of the book "The Scottish VanDyck," by John Bulloch [6, 7] There is a plaque on the site where the house and studio of George Jamesone once stood, which shows a coat of arms consistent with what others say was his arms. It is probably too new to be any kind of historical verification, but does show what other people, believe is true.
