???? - 1845
Awarded compensation as assignee of Robert Hyndman (q.v.) and John Elliott Hyndman, and made a number of other counterclaims on compensation for enslaved people on Antigua, all apparently unsuccessful, arising from the Hyndman bankruptcy. John Jameson appears unconnected with the Jameson whiskey family. The 'Pettigrew and Oulton Dublin Almanack and General Register of Ireland' for 1836 shows John Jameson 'mail coach owner' at 17 Upper Sackville Street, the address from which John Jameson had written to the Commissioners of Slave Compensation in 1834; earlier directories of the 1830s showed him simply as 'merchant'.
T71/877 Antigua claim no. 260; E.g. The Post Office Annual Directory for Dublin and Vicinity for 1832.
