Accounts of President Andrew Jacksons arrival in Davidson County, Tn., put the year at 1789. He would have been abt 22 at that time and had previously taught school, clerked in a store and studied Law in North Carolina.
What did he do during the early years
of his Davidson Co., residency? I have
read he bought and sold land, which
would have been a very good business.
Are there any accounts of him
practicing Law in Nashville?? Are there
any Court records?? Are there records of
land transfers?
Did he come to the area as a part of
a Migration pattern with a group of
people?? I've found his proven genealogy
to be somewhat sketchy and wondered
if he had relatives in Davidson Co.,when
he arrived. Andrew Jackson was born in
1767, his Mothers maiden name
was (Nancy?) Hutchinson, he had relatives on his Mothers side, surnames Crawford, Leslie and others. What of his Fathers relatives? Did Andrew Jacksons Father have siblings? Were there any of his Paternal relatives in the early Davidson Co., area?? Information I have read indicate, Andrew Jacksons Father also Andrew came to America from Ireland, yet, at least in the infomation I've read there is no record of his arrival Port or year, he died shortly, before the future President was born in 1767.
Andrew Jackson had two older brothers, Hugh and Robert, both just a couple of
years older then he, both dying tragically before reaching adulthood, as very young children Andrew and his Brothers along with his Mother moved in with relatives. an Uncle James Crawford and his family, I believe he was married to Andrews Mothers Sister. Hugh, Rrobert and Andrew would have spent years with cousins on their Mothers side. They resided near the North & South Carolina line in the Waxhaw Settlement. Andrews Mother Nancy or Elizabeth Hutchinson Jackson died when he was a teen.
The future President Andrew Jackson was
an intelligent, strong, brave and daring
young man and when he met his future
wife, Rachael, their love, was true,
deep and lasting.
Their may be errors in this as I am
trying to learn more of this man and
his early life. Any information is
welcome.
Several Earhart family members moved
near the Hermitage, home of Andrew
and Rachael Jackson, they were related,
some cousins, some Inlaws, to the Donelsons through Prisilla Earhart Henry, she was marrried to David Henry,
a member of the "Donelson Party" and
a blood relative of John Donelsons.
Any information on President Andrew
Jacksons Ancestors would be welcomed.
Lookng for Ancestors in early Middle
Tn. Earharts, Felkers,Jacksons,Koens, Stuarts, Guess, Taylor, Hoopers and others
