• Notes

  Jamieson Scaife was the youngest of eight children born to Margaret Terry and William Scaife II. Born in South Carolina, Jamieson was living in DeKalb County, Georgia in 1825 with his father and step mother, Elizabeth Lewis Scaife. On 27 January 1831, Jamieson was married to Melissa Ann Lovejoy in Jasper County, Georgia, and they became the parents of nine children. After 1831 he was received into the Georgia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and his first assignment was as a Methodist circuit riding preacher in Meriwether County, Georgia. At the time of the 1850 Census, Jamieson and his family were living near Smith's Station in Russell County, Alabama, about a mile south of the family of Edward L. Davis. Jamieson's eldest child Mary Ann was married to Edward L. Davis's eldest child Stephen in 1851. By 1860, The Scaife's were living in Stewart County, Georgia. In 1867, he was transferred to the Montgomery, Alabama Conference. In 1870, he was minister of a Methodist church in Eufaula. Jamieson died in Camilla, Mitchell Co., Georgia in 1875, and was buried in Eufaula, site of his last church. The following information is found in a biographical sketch of Jamieson's son Jefferson Hamilton Scaife published in 1895. It comes from "Memoirs of Georgia: Containing Historical Accounts of the State's Civil, Military, Industrial and Professional Interests, and Personal Sketches of Many of Its People," Volume 2, p. 546 "His father [Jamieson] was born in Union district, S. C., in 1810, and was raised on a plantation not far from Spartanburg. His educational advantages were exceedingly limited, but by devoting all his spare time to study after reaching maturity, he acquired a good education. About this time he came to Georgia and settled in Jasper county, where he married his wife [Melissa Lovejoy], who was born in the county. Later he was received into the Georgia conference of the M. E. church, in which he remained many years, when his family had become so large his salary was inadequate to their proper support. Withdrawing from the conference he went to Alabama and went on a farm; but at the expiration of a year he returned to Georgia and purchased land in Stewart county, where he farmed extensively, and so profitably that at the close of the civil war he freed fifty negroes - the result of his accumulations. After the surrender he moved to Eufaula, Ala., where he engaged in merchandising until 1869; giving his personal attention, however, to the ministry. In 1873 he came to Mitchell county and settled - and died in April 1875. His wife died in Alabama in 1891 in the eighty-first year of her age. Thirteen children were the fruit of this union, six of whom survive: Mrs. M. A. Doris [sic], Cairo, Ga.; Mrs. Bostwick, and Mrs. J. H. Powell, Camilla; Prof. J. F. and Dr. W. L., Camilla; and J. H., the subject of this sketch. Those deceased are: Mrs. B. Noble; F. A., killed at Murfreesboro, Tenn.; J. W., and Miss Lou; and three died in infancy."
