• Notes

  Australian Dictionary of Biography Not to be confused with another John Jamieson (1762-1850) of about the same time, also in Australia. It seems that during the 1820's there were several John Jam?sons in this part of the colony. The one that spelled his name with an 'ie' was not a Sir but rather a storekeeper at Parramatta and in 1800 was appointed as 'Superintendent of Government Herds' a position he held until 1813. He was also ?Assistant to the Commissary' at Toongabbie and later became a land holder at Parramatta and Liverpool. This John Jamieson married Mary, maiden name unknown and they had at least two sons, William in 1796 and John in 1799. Also Not to be confused with another John Jamieson (1799-1843), son of the above John Jamieson. of about the same time, also in Australia. It seems that during the 1820's there were several John Jam?sons in this part of the colony. The one that spelled his name with an 'ie' was not a Sir but rather a grazier who took up land near Goulburn in the parish of Wollondilly. He called his property Greenwich Park which recently sold for 8.1m to an overseas buyer. This John Jamieson married Sophie Burgin? and they had 3 sons, John in 1826 Philip 1827 and William in 1829. They also had a daughter Mary. The three boys attended Kings School Parramatta during the late 1830's and 1840's. Their address is stated as Wollondilly. [6] Jamison fathered a number of illegitimate children by several mistresses. These mistresses included Mary Griffiths - the daughter of Regentville's dairyman. Jamison married Mary a few months before his death, thus enabling her to be styled Lady Jamison.
