Mary Jamesone

About MeMary was daughter of George Jamesone, the Scottish portrait painter, and grand daughter of the master mason Andrew Jamesone.

In the later 17th century George Aedie owned the Jamesone's House on Schoolhill, Aberdeen (having inherited it from his brother David who was killed at the Battle of Justice Mills on 13 September 1644) George married Mary Jamesone on 28 October 1677.

Mary Jamesone's name is associated with four embroidered hangings which hang at the west end of the West Kirk of St Nicholas (at the time of writing), showing scenes from both the Old Testament and the Apocraphya. These hangings may well have been part of the internal decoration scheme after Mary married George (her second marriage). It has been suggested that George Aedie sold them to the town council in the late 1680s for £400 Scots after Mary's death.

Mary Jamesone was married three times and by one of her husbands, Professor Gregory, she had three daughters: Helen, Janet & Mary.
