Child-naming conventions. The names of
James Liddell’s sons should indicate James’s paternal ancestry.
Possible ancestors are therefore limited to the names George, James,
John, or Robert only.
Prehistory. Some sources state the
Liddell family sprang from Strathclyde Britons, Celts who migrated
from Ireland to southeast Scotland, and who gave their tribal name
to the whole of Great Britain.
1400-1500 Most Europeans
received surnames. “Liddell” came from the Dell (valley) of the Lid
(loud) river about this time
1603 Scotland and England
unified under one king, James Stuart VI / I. Scotland was the junior
partner from the start, since England had 10 times more people and
wealth. Lowland Scotland absorbed into U.K. in 1707.
1600 to
1800 James Liddell’s ancestors for a half dozen generations almost
certainly lived in northern England or southern (lowland) Scotland.
An arc drawn 100km (60 mi) from the Liddell River includes every
ancestor family 1600-1800. (Ancestor family defined as two or more
adults named George, James, John, or Robert in a single county or
parish.
As pure speculation, possibly James and his family
are on this list, every Liddell in the Scottish Book Trades Index
(SBTI):
James Liddell apprentice printer 1676 Edinburgh
John Liddel bookseller 1728 to 1736 Falkirk
John Liddell
bookseller 1779 to 1782 Glasgow
Robert & James Liddell paper
makers 1787 near Glasgow
Robert Liddell paper maker 1792 near
Glasgow
Robert Liddle coffee house (newspapers and
food/drink) 1791 Glasgow
ca. 1766 (1765-1775) James born,
probably southern Scotland. Gentry (middle-class) education in
English grammar, spelling, penmanship, arithmetic, accounting, and
other practical subjects.
1783 American Revolution ended with
Treaty of Paris. Peacetime overseas trade resumed.
08-Jan-1788, Tuesday. After traveling to London, James age 21
received expensive two-volume Bible and inscribed his name and the
place. This strongly suggests a father’s parting gift just before
James emigrated to America.
All events 1788 to 1805 New York
City NY unless specified.
ca. 1788 to ca. 1805 James employed
as accountant (middle class status similar to CPA in 2002.)
Research question: Possible employer Bank of New York (est. 1784 by
Alexander Hamilton.)
1790 to 1850 U.S. Federal Census, all
states. No head of household matching James, Rebecca, Cornelia,
Ebenezer, George, John, Robert, or Jimerson (except as below.) No
records of marriage or death found (so far) except for Jimerson
ca. 1790 (1788-1792) James married Rebecca Verplanck

Dec-1791 Rebecca
pregnant.
05-Aug-1792 Robert John Liddell born. No Bible
inscription page, probably removed after Robert John’s death.
Possibly RJ named for James’s father, uncle, and grandfather.
Aug-1793 Rebecca pregnant.
26-Mar-1794 Wednesday. RJ
baptized at Trinity Anglican Ch.
29-May-1794 Cornelia
Verplanck Liddell born. Bible entry “the 29 May 1794 at 35 minutes
past 9 A-M” and Trinity Ch. records both agree on this date, but
Trinity recorded her baptism with RJ’s the previous March.
CV
named for Rebecca’s mother.
1794 or later. CV baptized at
Trinity Anglican Ch. Date 26-Mar-1794 must be in error. Witnessed by
Maria Verplanck, possibly Rebecca’s sister.
ca. 1795
(1794-1799) Robert John died.
ca. 1795 (1794-1797) James &
Rebecca left Trinity for unknown sect. Long step down, socially.
Possibly death of RJ a factor.
Jun-1796 Rebecca pregnant.
25-Mar-1797 Ebenezer George Liddell born. James’s entry “the 25
March 1797 at 20 minutes after 7 oClock P.M.” made at this time.
05-Jun-1797 Monday. EG baptized by Rev. George Wall, possibly at
Ebenezer Meeting House. Wall not found (so far) in any list of
American or British clergy 1790-1810.
Possibly EG named (by
Rebecca?) for clergy Ebenezer [lnu] and George Wall.
16-May-1799 James Liddell, accountant, and Rebecca Liddell witnessed
will.
Jul-1799 Rebecca pregnant.
18-Apr-1800 James
Junior (Jimerson) Liddell born.
Spelling “Jimerson” is taken
from the first entry in his own Bible, his 1836 MS wedding, believed
by this author to be his own hand. Other entries and documents
suggest Jimerson would accept any variation of the literal “son of
James.”

house on the property. Outcome not known, but likely Jimerson lost
his new house and land. Ned, Nancy, and Nancy’s unnamed child seem
to have been sold, while Sarah and her child George were not.

The evidence is consistent with the theories:
1. James did not study and annotate his Bible, nor did he take
good care of it. That suggests Rebecca as the driving spirit in
religious matters.
2. RJ died between 1794 and 1797, and
grief casued Rebecca to abandon the official Anglican church for
another worship style. Symbolic of her distress, Rebecca removed
RJ’s inscription page from the Bible.
3. Rebecca died 1800 or
1801 soon after Jimerson’s birth. Probably Jimerson did not know his
mother, instead raised by sister CV. He named both daughters after
her.
4. James and EG died during or after the War of
1812-1814. Jimerson and maybe CV moved to the three-rivers port of
Pittsburgh before 1820. CV died before 1828.
5. Possibly
Jimerson married and started a family in Pittsburgh. Young people on
the American frontier tended to marry early, 17-23 for men and 15-21
for women, for a variety of reasons and causes. Jimerson age 20 was
right in the middle. If so, his PA family died 1820-1825 and he
waited 10 or 15 years to remarry, not unusual in a culture that
celebrated grief. However, a never-married single man-of-means age
36 was an oddity. The Biblical injunction to Multiply was not taken
lightly in Protestant America.
6. Perhaps grief-stricken,
Jimerson sold his property and hopped on the boat to Natchez.
Lifetime farmers tend to migrate east and west; same latitude, same
growing season, same crops if rain and soil permit. Jimerson moved
the opposite way, about as far south as possible in the U.S.
(Florida was not a state for another 20 years.) Jimerson arrived in
Jefferson MS with at least $1200 in gold, enough hard cash to buy a
small farm.
7. Jimerson came to MS as an orphan. Courthouse
documents suggest Jimerson never left MS for any lengthy period
after 1832. No family followed him to settle in MS. His sons later
believed him born in Scotland, probably a transference from James.
No mention of siblings or family in Jimerson’s own Bible. He named
his sons after MS friends and classical figures, but he named both
his daughters Cornelia, most likely after his older sister.
8. Jimerson overextended himself financially by 1838, essentially
speculating on high cotton futures. The Panic of 1837 and resultant
cotton crash set him back severely, and he may have lost his home to
creditors.
9. After 1838 Jimerson settled down to the steady
life of a planter. The typical planter farmed his own land, bought
slaves (not land) whenever possible, and rented his excess slaves
for seasonal labor. Long-term capital growth came primarily from
natural increase, children born into perpetual slavery. When
Jimerson died in 1856 slaves accounted for 78% of his estate. At a
bare minimum, four-fifths of the family’s accumulated capital
vanished with the Confederacy in 1865.
Liddell-Brown “Negro”
slaves.
Jefferson County MS slave records relating to
Jimerson Liddell (1800-1856)
Thomas Calliham Brown
(1800-1873)
After Jimerson died, his widow married Brown. As
far as is known, when the Liddell slaves were emancipated in 1865
they were assigned the surname of the current head of household,
Brown.
The Liddell-Brown slaves were everywhere described as
dark-skinned “black” not light-skinned “mulatto,” implying a
predominantly African bloodline. Note that slave ages as estimated
by white people are notoriously unreliable.
07‑May‑1838
Jimerson sold “a Negro boy slave named Sampson aged about twenty
years” to Ross O’Quinn for $1080.
11‑Feb‑1839 Jimerson
couldn’t pay his bills, so the court auctioned his property.
Apparently sold, Nancy age 18 and her infant. Probably not sold, Ned
age 35. Certainly not sold, Sarah 16 and her child George 1.

1850 Census. Liddell slaves counted with many others under overseer
J. R. Comfort, probably to deliberately disguise ownership.
11‑Aug‑1856 Jimerson died intestate. His executor, Brown, accounted
to the court for the slaves about 1858, about 1860, and in late July
1862.
1860 Census. Liddell slaves counted with Brown’s. Brown
age 60 got the age of every (!) white person in his household wrong
except his own, and erred on names and sexes of several. Not
surprisingly, the unnamed slaves’ ages and sexes don’t match either.
