KANISTEO VALLEY CHAPTER
Pages 277 thru 279
John Jamison (formerly Jenningson): Born at Durham, Bucks County, Pa., Dec 3, 1755; died at Canisteo, N. Y., March 23, 1836. He was two years captain in the Pennsylvania troops. A part of the time he served under Colonel Robert Robinson. He was at the battle of Fort Washington, being taken prisoner at that time, and sent to the prison ship in New York harbor. At the commencement of the war he raised a company and for the expense of this, and for the relief of himself and others under his command, he had to draw upon his father. This was charged to his personal account and when his father's estate was settled, John Jamieson had nothing. Thus did he sacrifice his time, health and fortune for his country.
