Margaret Catherine Jamison Gill
Margaret C. Jamison, a native of Kentucky and a pioneer of 1850 in California. The family of which she is a member settled in Virginia during the colonial period and one of the valued possessions of the subject of this article is a deed given to them in 1772 bearing the signature of Lord Fairfax of Virginia.
Her father, Reverend Milton Jamison, a native of Virginia, went to Kentucky in an early day and from there migrated to Missouri and thence to Iowa, in these various states laboring in the ministry of the Methodist denomination. The discovery of gold in California turned his thoughts toward the Pacific Coast. Accompanied by his family in 1850, he started overland for the gold mines, but died on the way and was buried on the plains.
The widow and her children pursued their journey with their ox teams and landed safely in California; the former, who was Nancy Light, a native of Virginia, died in Colusa at seventy-six years of age. Mrs. Margaret C. Gill is still living and is now sixty-nine years of age. In her family there are five daughters and four sons, namely: Martha E., Mrs. Montgomery, of Los Angeles; Nannie, Mrs. Metcalf, of Mendocino County; Milton G., attorney at law, of Red Bluff; Charles W., a stockman residing in Shasta County; Edward S., who conducts a mercantile store in Ono; Laura E., of Shasta County; M. B., who is engaged in farming and stock raising near Ono; Alice, Mrs. Cox, of Mendocino County; and Margaret P., a teacher.
