JAMISON, JAMES H. Was born in Missouri September 26, 1830. Here he received his education and resided until
1854, when he, with his family, consisting of wife and one child, crossed the plains with ox teams, and arrived
at Bidwells Bar, in Butte County, August 20th of that year. Mr. Jamison engaged at once in mining, which he followed
about four years. He then engaged in keeping a public house on Feather River, which he followed about six months.
We next find him in Vallejo, Solano County, where he resided until June, 1859, when he came to Lake County and
settled on a stock ranch, located on the road leading from Lower Lake to Kelseyvifie. Here he followed stock raising
and keeping public house for about fourteen years, since which time he has lived in Kelseyville. Mr. Jamison has
held the office of Supervisor for three terms, first in 1861, second in 1863, and third and last in 1875. Mr. Jamison
married, March 9, 1852, Miss Mary Armed, a native of Virginia. By this union they have four living children: Sarah
A., James B., Rosa S. and Lizzie.
