"This is what I know about the Jameson family: R.S. Jameson, my father, was born and raised in Tennessee,(He was actually born in Madison County, Alabama, where his father Bland M Jameson bought 82 acres Land Patent March 1, 1858) came to Texas in the early 1880's or late 1870's as a young man. He shipped out of Tennessee - he and the Dodson family together. Landed in Mansfield, Texas; from there he came to Wichita Falls, Texas, worked several years in the brick yard at Wichita. Sometime during that time, best I can remember, he was married to Louisa Dodson *(Louisa W Dodson 1861 Tenn - 1898 Collingsworth Co., Tx; Married: Jan 23, 1880 Tarrant Co., Tx). There was one child born to that union, Thomas H. *(Thomas Horton Jameson April 6, 1887 Mansfield, Tarrant, Tx - May 9, 1937 Pendleton, Umatilla, Oregon). After he left Witchita, he worked on the Matador's Ranch awhile, just how long I don't know. Later on he moved up in the flat between Dodson, Tx and Hollis, OK. I never knew exactly where that was. Stayed there awhile and then he settled a little place over here belonging now to Billie Jarvis about a mile and a half east of Dodson in Oklahoma now. How long he stayed there, I'm not sure, but he stayed there until 1898. In 1898 he bought Section 22, Block 10, H & GN Railway Survey which corners up to the town site of Dodson. In 1898 he lost his wife, and in 1901 he married Mattie Abbott Hunt, a widow, with 2 children, Belle, a daughter and Gilbert, a son."
Another reference to the family:
"Mrs. John Dodson (sister-in-law of Rufus) introduced Mattie to Rufus Jameson, a widower with a 12 or 13 year old son named Tom.
