Samuel Wyatt Jamerson was born in 1846, in Franklin Co., Va., the oldest son of John Jamison and Fannie Smith. He was named for his paternal and maternal grandfathers, Samuel Jamison and Wyatt Smith. He was with his parents and siblings on the 1850 and 1860 censuses in Franklin Co., and his parents were named on his marriage record and death certificate.
Samuel fought in the Civil War with the Confederate Army; this is confirmed on his 1930 census. He may have enlisted with his father in the 21st Reg't., Virginia Cavalry, but I have found no record for it. He may have been the Samuel W. Jimmerson of Big Lick (Roanoke), Va., who enlisted as a Private in Co., F, 37th Infantry, in Mar 1864 at Camp Vance, N.C. By the 1870 census, however, he was back in Snow Hill, Franklin Co., farming with his widowed mother and siblings.
On 25 Feb 1875, in Henry Co., Va., he married Sarah Frances "Fanny" Turner (1854–1937), daughter of William Hunter Turner and Margaret Jane McGhee. (His sister Martha Elizabeth married Fanny's brother John Wesley in 1886.) Samuel and Fanny's children were John Willard, William Ottie, Andrew Corban, Fannie Lula, Samuel Henry, Margaret Adell, and Annie Elizabeth.
On the 1880 census in Snow Creek, Franklin Co., Va., he and Fanny were farming with two children and his brother William. In 1900, they were farming in Reed Creek, Henry Co., Va. They reported seven children born, seven living. In 1910, they were in Danville City, Va., with their seven children, and Samuel was a grocer. In 1920, they were on a farm in Tunstall, Pittsylvania Co., Va. They were still there in 1930, and Samuel was retired.
He passed away on 19 Feb 1933 in Pittsylvania Co. His death certificate said he was a retired merchant. Fanny died on 28 Feb 1937, also in Danville.
Note: The spelling of the family name varied into the 20c. It has been recorded as Jamison, Jimmerson, Jamerson, Jamieson, and Jameson. Samuel and his children consistently used the spelling Jamerson.
