Like a lot of you, I have an Andrew Jackson. I am fairly certain he was not related to President Andrew Jackson. My Andrew was born July 14, 1815 in Ohio, died March 5, 1892 in Westboro, Atchison County, Missouri, buried in Tarkio Cemetery, Atchison County, MO. He married Caroline Applegate, born September 17, 1810 in New Jersey, died April 24, 1904 in Westboro, Atchison, MO. They had children:Eliza A., Joseph, Mary Mulvina, Sarah Jane, Daniel Dippo, John Simpson (Simple), and Thomas. Looking for parents of both Andrew and Caroline. Have most of the descendants of Daniel Dippo and John S. Any additional information appreciated and will share what I have on this family.

Would appreciate help in separating the above Jacksons to family groups - - have yet to do in depth library research as to deed records - have map of area on order Believe (I think) that these are from the same ancestral line with some Texas in mid 1850s to tie into Joshua Moses Jackson who was massacred by Indians. Andrew migrates to Jackson County, TN - had proven bros. William and John with indications of poss. bros David/Davis, Joseph and Thomas Evyonne

I just started researching our family lines. I have most of the Reddell family line from the aid of many on the net, and family members who have published two books. I am hoping to go back farther than John Reddell from 1730. I am interested in finding his roots from England, or Ireland. I will also have to do most of the research on my husband's mother's side as we divorced and the aunt who researched this information feels we are not privileged to receive this information. Ida Mae McGuire married Harvey Burke Reddell in Ferris, Tx and had four children, Charles Larry, Billy Eugene, Cecil Kenneth, and Ruth Lee. I do not know if this research is for McGuire alone or if this was processed for Crawford and McGuire as Margie McGuire married Mr. Crawford, this information is suppose to be at the main library in Dallas and from what I have been told is listed as Private. I am not asking you to research this information, just informing you of some of the problems I have encountered. I have found my grandfather's family through the help of the net. We are 5th generation German. My gggrandfather came from Hessen Germany. I had only my grandfather's name and my grandmother's first name. I asked for help with the Ellis Island listings and received this response back. My understanding was my grandfather came from Germany during WWI and instead it was my ggf born in 1814 and is on the 1880 census. I am also having a problem with my mother's maiden name being spelled 3 different ways on her social security papers. As I become familiar with places to look and how to get around membership obstacles, I should be able to find this information. Again, I am not asking you to research, just letting you know my obstacles, which you have called walls, and yes they are coming easier with people like yourself, thank you very much.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Xgk.2ACEB/5949.1.1.1.1.1.2.2.1 Message Board Post: Shirley - In researching the Jackson surname for some 30 years, I have found very few who HAVEN'T indicated that from family tradition they were of Native American ancestry and related to Andrew Jackson and/or Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson. (even handed down within my ownline). I have proven my Andrew Jackson (1770-1858), but it wasn't the President, as well as my Native American heritage, not once but twice and possibly a third time by marriage - Andrew married a Native American as did his father. DNA substantiated the findings with my Jackson line as 75% Indo European; 25% Native American (which is high); 0% Asian and 0% African. The Native American ancestry of my Jackson line had to come by marriage. I have gone back to some of your earlier postings and found where you stated "my grandfather, Walter E. Jackson, died in 1945....in Grayslake, Ill. #1 Tip - Always find out within what county your ancestor. In checking it out for you I found out it's Gray Lake (part of Avon twshp), located in Lake County, Illinois. #2 Tip - Write to the County Clerk of said county or to the State of Illinois (addresses below) requesting a birth and/or death certificate of your grandfather. You will need to provide specific information i.e. date of death, date of birth if known, his wife's name, county in which he died (if contacting the state), etc. His death certificate COULD (not always) give his parents name as well as his place of birth. This could give you informaiton for the next step - searching for your g.g.grandfather. Knowing that he died in Lake County, Illinois, read the 1930 census if you know he was there within that particular census year - the census information will tell you not only what state he was born, but also the state in which each of his parents were born. Lake County Illinois was created in 1839 from McHenry County, Ill. The County Clerk has birth records from 1877; marriage records from 1839 and death records from 1877. He could have been born within the county where he died, but I've found very few who stayed within the same "spot" from birth to death (unless they were children). Write to Lake County, County Clerk; 18 North County St. Waukegan, Illinois 60085-4399 (this may be an old address, so you might want to call to check) If you contact the state- contact the Office of Vital Records, State Department of Public Health, 605 West Jefferson Street; Springfield, IL 62702 (to verify current fees call 217-782-6553 - again these are old addresses & phone # - call info & confirm same) Tip #3 - With your grandfather's death being in 1945, he may have been a WW II veteran - Contact The Department of Veterans Affairs; 208 West Cook St., Springfield, IL 62706 - they have files with names of about 600,000 veterans buried in Illinois, in alphabetical order by war. A cemetery listing, by county,lists veteran burials. Soldiers' discharge records are available at county courthouses. To prove by primary documentation (birth/death records, wills, Bible Records, court records, census records (be sure you read the images [printed census returns help a lot, but they don't give full data on your ancestor], etc) of your relation to your goal of Andrew Jackson and/or Thomas Jonathan Jackson, you're going to have to prove each generation going back to their individual time periods. Tip #4 Check with your local library to see if they have a statewide link to Heritage Quest - usually provided by a State Library & Archives for use by patrons of local libraries. We have such in Texas. All census years are available, but your state may not have them all indexed. Texas is still in the process of indexing the 1830, 1840, 1850 and 1880. Remember, the 1890 federal census was lost (except for a few isolated pages). The LDS has the free 1880 online, and Ancestry.com has most of the others. Ancestry.com requires a membership. Tip #5 the US state/county GenWeb sites will become most helpful to you via online information. Some sites are more in depth than others. Nothing will take the place of on-site research of county courthouses, visiting cemeteries, and good ole book research at a large library. Genealogy is one fantastic hobby - you will be so proud of each generation you find, and will look forward to finding the next generation. Your greatest challenge will be getting past the 1840, 1830, 1820, 1810, and 1800 census readings. You learn along the way who, what, when to look for. You'll hit a stump or two - you could find what you might call a big brick wall along the way, but always remember - it's a wall, in time, you'll be able to crawl over, around or under - but you WILL get past it! As you proceed, always collect cemetery information, marriage records, birth/death records will avail, Bible Records when found, etc. etc. on each generation - something that will prove beyond a shadow of any doubt that you are correct that the person found connects to your previous ancestor. Along the way, you will "meet" wonderful sharing persons who will help along the way, and you in turn will be able to help others - that's the name of the game. Do your research and pat yourself on the back all along the way - you and your family will be soooo proud of you. Good luck with your research, take it slow & easy, but with a steady speed - the speed limit will increase little by little. Evyonne

If President Jackson did not have any children, then the Indian Heritage ends there unless we are related through his brothers. Who are they and how can I research them? It has to be a direct decendent to claim heritage. I am having trouble getting passed my grandfather Wallace Eugene Jackson as he passed when my mother was 12 or 14 in 1943 or 1945. He married Edith K. Christensen (?) there are 3 spellings in my mother's social security papers. As usual, word was passed she was related to either President or General Jackson.

My pat gg'f George W Jackson b. VA abt 1823, m. Frances Bickers in Phillips Co AR in 1858; had at least 5 children in AR: Edgar,George F.,John A.,Ophelia A, & William A., born 1859-1866. George W. died after 1870 census and family ended up in central OH, scattered. Ophelia was living in 1880 with cousin Madora (Jackson) Franklin in Delaware Co, OH. Madora was born in VA abt 1847 and came with her father John S. Jackson and mother Dorotha + 5 siblings from VA to OH between 1856-1860. One of Madora's nephews (s/o James W.) was named Strother B.

I know that a George Jackson m. a Nancy Strother in Fauquier Co VA but haven't been able to tie them yet. My g'f (Edgar, b. 1864 AR) had "blue black" hair, "Roman nose" and dark eyes.Family trad. als! o adds that many Jackson men were late in marrying and rather young in dying, stubborn + restless/adventurous--adding to elusiveness for genealogy. I have found no living Jackson's from this family other than in my immediate family so far, tho there has to be some; I do not know who the g'f of George W. was, nor other siblings, etc. PLEASE can anyone make suggestions here???

They took in many to raise, but officially adopted only one child, an infant in 1808, one of a set of twins of Rachel's brother Severn Donelson and his wife Elizabeth and raised him as their own. They named him Andrew Jackson Jur (1808-1865). Andrew Jackson, Jr. and his twin Thomas Jefferson Donelson, remained close all of their lives. In addition, Andrew Jackson served as guardian for numerous children although not all of them lived with the Jacksons. Some of these included the children of Rachel's brother, Samuel Donelson. Samuel's sons, John Samuel, Andrew Jackson, and Daniel did live part time at The Hermitage. Andrew Jackson took a strong interest in all of these children, with Andrew Jackson Donelson (1799-1871 becoming his protege, and served as Jackson's personal secretary during his presidency. Andrew Jackson, Jr., married Sarah Yorke of Philadelphia, and assumed management of the Hermitage farm during his father's presidential years. Jackson also took a a strong interest in the Indian child he sent home in 1813. This Indian child, named Lyncoya (1811-1828), was found on battlefield with his dead mother. Lyncoya was educated with Andrew Jr. Andrew Jackson, Sr. had aspirations of sending Lyncoya to West Point. Political circumstances made that impossible and Lyncoya went to train as a saddle maker in Nashville. Andrew and Rachel also raised Andrew Jackson Hutchings, the grandson of one of Rachel's sisters and the son of former business partner of Jackson's. Both of his parents died when Andrew Jackson Hutchings was about five years old. You can much more information on "The Hermitage Children" as well as Andrew and Rachel by visiting The Hermitage website. Just do a search for: The Hermitage (be sure and visit each and every link provided within the site. Additional informaiton on Andrew as well as Rachel Jackson may be found contained within: http://whitehouse.gov/histry/life/ (you'll find more family information visiting the link on Rachel Jackson with more political history within the link on Andrew Jackson. Since you're searching for Native American heritage, did you know it is highly possible that Andrew Jackson's mother, was of Native America descent? - This will take you back to the Kershaw area of South Carolina - the exact birth county of Andrew Jackson is unknown.

Greetings fellow researchers,   For many years I have shared my genealogical research with the folks on the COWAN, WIGTON-WALKER, and SCOTCH-IRISH rootsweb lists.    The trail leads from Sterling, in Scotland, to Londonderry-Donegal in Ulster, to    Pennsylvania, the valley of Virginia, east Tennessee and points west.    If your ancestors followed a similar path then some of these documents might be of interest.    I have searched for rare, out of print source materials as both a hobby and an obsession and have offered to make copies for people from time to time.    Because of a busy schedule I will only be able to do so once a year. I have added two new items since last time and they are described with the others below beginning with the most recent history first:   Castle's Woods:    Frontier Virginia Settlement, 1769-1799, a thesis presented to the Faculty of the Department    of History, East Tennessee State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts, by James W. Hagy, 1966, 150 pages.          This covers the families who settled in Russell and Scott counties, Virginia when it was considered the frontier.    Contains information on specific families as well as the farmers, speculators, artisans, and preachers who resided there.    Lots on the Indian battles that were a daily feature of life on the frontier.   Tthe Tinkling Spring:    Headwater of Freedom, A Study of the Church and Her People, 1732-1952, by Howard McKnight Wilson, 1954, Fisherville, Virginia, 542 pages.           The BEST source of information on the Scotch-Irish of Augusta/Rockbridge Counties in Virginia.    Includes the Baptismal Records of the Rev. Craig.    In-depth study of the early families of the Shenandoah Valley.   Rockbridge County, Virginia Notebook, Compiled from articles by Dr. George W. Diehl as published in the News-Gazette, Lexington, Virginia.    Compiled by A. Maxim Coppage, McDowell Publications, 1982, 242 pages.           "In many instances information may be found showing where families originated in Scotland or Ireland, the places lived before settling in Rockbridge County, Virginia area and relationships between the various clans or as Mr. Diehl so aptly named this phase of pioneering, "A ROCKBRIDGE SEED-BOX" This document is almost 100% pure family history and genealogy. The Rev. Samuel Houston, V.D.M., by George West Diehl, 1970, McClure Publishing Co. 125 pages      History of the early Virginia Presbyterians through the life of the Rev. Samuel Houston, kin to Sam Houston of Texas fame.   A Tribute to the Principles, Virtues, Habits and Public Usefulness of the Irish and Scotch Early Settlers of Pennsylvania, Chambersburg, Pa. Printed by M. Kiefer & Co. 1856, 171 pages.           From the preface the following:    "The writer of the Tribute contained in this work, had long desired to see from the Historical publications in Pennsylvania, a vindication of the character and principles of the Irish and Scotch early settlers of this great state and their descendants against reproach, as well as aspersion, cast upon them in some modern publications having pretensions to Historical accuracy... The Scotch-Irish in the Colonies:    1750-1790:    A Thesis Presented for the Degree of Master of Arts, by Kathryn R. Aiken, A.B., The Ohio State University, 1933, 91 pages         Chapters include:    By way of Introduction, Early Settlements, Daily Life on the Frontier, Educational and Religious Activities, Military Pursuits, Political Participation and Conclusion.    Like Hagy's Castle Woods thesis it has a wonderful bibliography, the most important part of any research document.   The Laggan and its Presbyterianism and In the Days of the Laggan Presbytery, 1905, 1908, by the Rev. Alexander Lecky, B.A., member of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland, Belfast, Davidson and McCormack, 54 Kings St.    211 pages           On our recent trip to Donegal we met J.B. Shannon, age 90, who assisted in the 1975 reprinting of this book.    He is the last living person who had anything to do with these books and he says they are still the BEST source for Ulster Presbyterian research.    From Lecky the following:    "The lists of names of former generations of Lagganeers, and their places of abode, that are given in the Appendixes, and which NEVER before appeared in print, whilst they may of necessity prove dull reading to those who have no acquaintance with the locality, will not, I hope, be altogether uninteresting to those who bear the same name, or live in the same places....   A History of the Siege of Londonderry and Defense of Enniskellen in 1688 and 1689, with Historical Poetry and Biographical notes, by the Rev. John Graham, M.A. Rector of Magilligan in the Diocese of Derry.    Includes the Battles of the Boyne, Athlone, and Aughrim and the siege and Capitulation of Limmerick by Lord McCaulay, Toronto, 1869           The historical poems are family genealogies about those who were at Derry and where they came from.    Along with "Fighters of Derry" these two sources contain more actual genealogical information than any others I have seen.   Fighters of Derry, Their Deeds and Descendants, being a Chronicle of Events in Ireland during the Revolutionary period, 1688-1691, by William Young, Eyre and Spottiswoode, London, 350 pages.           One of the most difficult sources to locate. (WorldCat Inter-Library lists seven known copies)    Months worth of reading and packed with great genealogy.    Contains the following biographical sketches:           1.    The leaders of the County Associations who, with their levies, took part in the preliminary operations and contributed much of the man power for the Defence.      2.     The Apprentice Boys and those responsible for shutting the gates on the 8th Dec. 1688.      3.     The actual Defenders during the 105 day siege ((over 12000 genealogical sketches)      4.     Those engaged in the relief of the city.   Three Hundred Years in Innishowen, Being More Particularly an Account of the Family of Young of Culdaff with Short Accounts of Many Other Families Connected with Them, by Amy Young, The Linenhall Press, Belfast, 1929, 311 pages           Some of the names included are Young, Hart, Harvey, Cary, Vaughan, McLaughlin, Skipton, Richardson, Knox, Ussher, Smith, Nesbitt, Chichester, Ball, Lawrence, Crofton, Boyd, Stuart and many others. The Laggan and its People, by S.M. Campbell, privately printed.              Ms. Campbell lived on the next farm over from my friend James Fleming in St. Johnston, Donegal.    A look at the history of the Laggan (Presbyterian Derry/Donegal) through the eyes of a local historian.    Draws on local lore, Abercorn papers, records from PRONI.   Well there you have it.    The best documents I have found during my ten years of research.    If you are interested in obtaining any of the above items please contact me privately for details.    I do charge to recover copying and postage costs which is permissible under rootsweb policy.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Xgk.2ACEB/5949.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Hello Shirley! You have some tough questions. I know that their are many Jacksons with Native American bloodlines as I am proof of that. In particular the Cherokee and Choctah and their "cousin" tribes, as my daughter`s mother had Choctah blood with a grandfather whose first name was' Rainwater' I know that Andrew and Rachel adopted a Cherokee boy and I believe they had another child that died,but don`t quote me on that as I am not absolutely sure. I believe there is a lady named Debbie Jackson who is also related to the Meeks family who has posted on this Jackson board. She is a very intelligent Native American lady and is very knowledgeable about Native America so maybe she can answer your N.A. questions.The Jacksons had 2 brothers that first emigrated to America from Ireland around the mid-1700`s. The older brothers name was Isaac and his line were direct links to Andrew Jackson while the younger brother was John J. Jackson Sr. my 4X great-grandfather who was the grea! t grandfather of C.S.A. Lt.Gen. Thomas Jonathon "Stonewall"Jackson. Andrew and Stonewall and myself share the same patriarch as a grandfather,his name is Richard Jackson and he was born in 1505 at Killingswold Grove,Yorkshire,England. His descendents eventually spread to Ireland and other points in the British Isles,before Isaac and John came to America,and the rest is history. Andrew and "Stonewall"are 2nd cousins twice removed,and "Stonewall is my 2nd cousin twice removed and Andrew my 2nd cousin 4X removed. Enter the information about Richard Jackson on Google, enter " Mc Ginty Family html" on Google,and enter DON NORMAN on Google also. If you really want to learn about Jackson relations then read my posts from today on back to August of 2002 as it is all there for the reading. Good luck Shirley. L.H.

Just saw your post on Wm Jackson, MO, wife Margaret. My great aunt celebrated a 50th wedding anniversary a few years back. The party was covered in a Lincoln IL newspaper at that time stating the party for her was in "Grandma Jackson's " house in Lincoln. What is left of my family knows nothing of "grandma Jackson" I'm finally getting down checking all possible marriages at that time that would bring up a Jackson. My great aunt's mother was Mary Elizabeth (Marcum) Sutherland Hatfield. But HER mother was Margaret (Cartwright) Marcum. She was born Aug 8, 1832. She was originally from MO. Her husband George Marcum was born 1834 in Vermont and died 1858 in MO. I have only one daughter Mary Elizabeth of that marriage. But since the husband George died at 24 yrs of age, and widow Margaret died in 1872, I'm looking at the possibility of her marrying a Jackson. That would make her Grandma Jackson to the great aunt's anniversary party. I haven't found any fur! ther children of Margaret, but since I haven't been searching Jackson, I wouldn't know if she had further children with the possible husband Jackson. My Margaret above is 1/2 Cherokee. Her daughter above (Mary Elizabeth (Marcum) Sutherland was born in Jefferson City MO but moved to IL with her husband to have 9 children. Her mother Margaret then may have moved to IL to be with her. Can any of this lead somewhere?

My eyes are hazel also.My dad`s youngest brother`s name was Marion a name he loathed and he often threatened my father with a beating for naming him that name,so he went by the name "Tude". When he was young he was a handsome young man. A dead ringer for actor Charlton Heston,hair, body,and the identical voice. He was a prince of a guy and everyone loved him.He had Cherokee blood from his father`s mother a Meeks maiden.He had 2 children agirl who was a beautiful blue eyed blonde beauty queen named Judy Ann and a handsome blue eyed son named Wayne "ALAN" Jackson and these kids looked enough like Alan Jackson to be siblings. The strange part was when Charlton played cousin Andrew Jackson on screen it was like my uncle on screen down to his reddish hair(Andy`s)as a young man. If you trace our heritage up from Richard and Anthony to the present you and William will probably answer alot of your own questions. As a young man in my 20`s I had a touch of grey in my temp! les and dark thick wavy hair(but not now)dark brown eyes a straight proud Roman-Indian nose thin lips,and Looked alot like Merle Haggard on his first albulm,and weighed about 180 lbs,"max" and in my mid 30`s went up to 260 and 76" tall.Now I toggle between 210 & 220. I wouldn`t doubt that Alan is related to Andy or Stonewall also as he seems to have that quiet spiritual fire that both of them had. I hope this helps you as there are multitudes of Jacksons on these lists. Don Norman is kin and he has forgotten more then I will ever know about our family. See ya`cuzz! L.H.
