The estate papers of Albert Gallatin Jameson. File #471 – Date of Letters of Administration Nov. 16, 1857. Albert Gallatin Jameson was the son of George W. Jameson and Mary Ida Clay. I believe he was more than likely the 3rd child and born about 1819, died 1857. I don't have any record of marriage for him. His brother John Jameson (m. Catherine Cassidy) was the administrator of his estate. I have been unable to find any other record about Albert Gallatin Jameson. His list of heirs includes his father and his siblings: George Jameson, father, Clay Jameson, Robert Jameson, Thomas Jameson, George W. Jameson, Paulina A. Kidder, Green Jameson and John Jameson. Albert's name is referred to as Jamerson, Jemerson and Jameson, as Albert Gallatin, as A. Gallatin, as Albert Galenton, as Albert G., and as A.G. There is a story in both my line (descended from his brother Clay) and the Green Jameson line that there was a falling out in the family and that is when Clay and Green both added the "r" to Jameson to make it Jamerson. Whether it is true I don't know. But it was about the time that Albert died that Clay decided to pick up and move to Arkansas. Green eventually moved to Kansas after the Civil War. The spelling of the last name has changed througout the years and is spelled many different ways in records. It was often pronounced as "Jimmerson" by people in the area and I think just because of the pronunciation is how the "r" eventually was added into the name. People would spell it as it sounded. Clay appears in the 1860 Scott Co., AR census listed as Clay Jimmerson. I do however believe that in order for the story to have been handed down by two different lines that there was a falling out in the family, that portion of the story is true. We always heard that the family was mad at Clay for marrying an Indian girl, so he moved to AR and changed the spelling. If Clay's 2nd wife, Mary Ann McGuire was Indian, she must've only been partial with a name like McGuire.
