Hi, guess you know Jackson,s first law office was in the living of Amy Artis Wyly Taylor & Capt. Kitt Taylor , where he boarded.This is in the Wyly Saga by Johnathan K.T.Smith, Esq. of Tennesse. Also, guess you know about Sevier appointed Jackson to office and later fighting a duel with Jackson over remarks Sevier made about Jackson's wife, or was she? The North Carolina Legislature granded her permission to file for a divorce. Jackson, as an attorney, should have understood that. She and Jackson thought it was a final divorce, married illegally, and honeymooned in New Orleans. Jackson removed his gloves and slapped Sevier with them and challenged him to a duel. Jackson had killed one or more men in other duels. Later Grandpa (8 generations back) Sevier and Jackson met well out of town. Sevier was there first with his second. He placed his holster and pistols across his saddle. When Jackson rode up , dashing wrecklessly about, and waving his sword, he scared Sevier's horse, which ran away with the pistols. The seconds talked a n excited (Drinking?) Jackson down and stopped him from killing Sevier. In Tennessee they had their differences, but when Sevier was a U.S. Representative he and Jackson worked together for the good of Tennessee and protection for the overmountain country. North Carolina did not always pay in full to Frontier Militia, The Indians thought when Jackson started the Trail of Tears he was going back on his word and either was drinking too much (in his cups) or developing Altheimer's or whatevet it was called then. Sevier was contacted by the President to lead the Artmy in the War of 1812, but declined because of his age. His statue represents Tennessee in the Hall of State in Washington, D.C. and he , not Georgr Washington, is the central figure in the Mural DISCOVERY in the Tennessee Capitol, which is copied widely in textbooks and on calendars in the past. Take care, Charles Wyly
