Elizabeth "Betsy" Jamison was born in/near Dromore to George and Elizabeth Kinnear Jamison in May 1810, and baptized 3 May 1810 in Dromore Parish (likely the Church of Ireland Cathedral). She married Joseph Martin about 1829, as their first child, Elizabeth Jamison Martin Little was born in 1830/32. Betsy and Joseph had 3 children:
Elizabeth Jamison (1830/32 Dromore - 1898 Oakland, MD
Thomas Martin (1833-1917 Oakland, MD)
George W Martin (1834-1898 Benwood, WV)

Tragically, Betsy died young in 1836. Gravestone in 1st Dromara not located, but it's likely that she was buried there. (FindAGrave incorrectly places 1st Dromara in Dromore!)
