The father of Margaret (McCammon) McKinstry was Samuel Mc-
Cammon. The McCammons came from the North of Ireland in 1778 and
first settled in Bucks County, Pa. He came to Fort Shirley, now Shirleys-
burg, Pa., about 1783 and bought the tract of land that he fort stockade
was built upon. Samuel McCammon built his house from the round logs of
the old fort house. He built the first flour mill. The town of Shirleysburg
was laid out by Samuel McCammon and the first to build a school house.
He served as a supervisor in 1791 and as overseer of the poor in 1792. He
died about 1798. His wife's name was Christiana. They were Presbyterians.
Their children, 1. Mary, born December 2, 1786; 2. John, born June 26,
1788, married Catherine Pardue, moved to Ohio; 3. Margaret, married
Rodney McKinstry, resided at Shirleysburg, Pa.
The McCammon-Jamison families participated in the service. John McCammon (who married Catherine Purdue) served in the War of 1812. One of McCammon's uncles was a lieutenant in the Revolutionary War, who commanded a unit called "Baxter's Flying Camp." Another relative, Hugh Baxter Jr. was a Colonel under George Washington. He was killed at the Battle of Fort Washington November 16, 1776, as he led the Battalion of Flying Camp. With him was Daniel Jamison's son, Captain John Jamison, who Washington had put in command of the garrison at Fort Washington.
A foundry on Daniel Jamison's farm made some of the first cannons and cannonballs used in the American Revolution.

Subject: [JAMES-L] Daniel Jamison/Bucks Co., PA 1700's
Date: Sat, 17 Oct 1998 16:22:44 -0400
I'm looking for any info on the desc. of Daniel Jamison and his wife Mary
Magdalene Baxter. Daniel came from Scotland and Mary from Wales. The lived
in Bucks Co, PA where Daniel had a foundry which cast some of the first
cannons and cannon balls made in this America for use in the Rev. War.
Their eldest son was Capt. John Jamison, b. 12/3/1755 in Durham, PA ( the
only one I have a date for ), other children were Thomas, Hugh, Sally, Anna
Maria, Jane, Rachel, and Elizabeth. I would be interested in any Jamison's
in Bucks Co, PA or Steuben Co., NY. in the 1700 and 1800 's.
