Birth Notes: Husband - President Andrew JACKSON Jr
==========================================================================================

His exact birth site is unclear because he was born about the time his mother was making
a difficult trip home from burying Jackson's father. ... The Waxhaws region is in the
Piedmont region of North and South Carolina, southwest of the Uwharrie Mountains. The
region encompasses an area just south of Charlotte, North Carolina, to Lancaster, South
Carolina; and from Monroe, North Carolina in the east to the Catawba River in the west.

General Notes: Husband - President Andrew JACKSON Jr
==========================================================================================

   Jackson had three adopted sons: Theodore, an Indian about whom little is known, Andrew
Jackson Jr., the son of Rachel's brother Severn Donelson, and Lyncoya, a Creek Indian
orphan adopted by Jackson after the Creek War. Lyncoya died of tuberculosis in 1828, at
the age of sixteen.
   The Jacksons also acted as guardians for eight other children. John Samuel Donelson,
Daniel Smith Donelson and Andrew Jackson Donelson were the sons of Rachel's brother
Samuel Donelson, who died in 1804. Andrew Jackson Hutchings was Rachel's orphaned grand
nephew. Caroline Butler, Eliza Butler, Edward Butler, and Anthony Butler were the
orphaned children of Edward Butler, a family friend. They came to live with the Jacksons
after the death of their father.
   The widower Jackson invited Rachel's niece Emily Donelson to serve as host at the
White House. Emily was married to Andrew Jackson Donelson, who acted as Jackson's private
secretary and in 1856 would run for Vice President on the American Party ticket. The
relationship between the President and Emily became strained during the Petticoat affair,
and the two became estranged for over a year. They eventually reconciled and she resumed
her duties as White House host. Sarah Yorke Jackson, the wife of Andrew Jackson Jr.,
became co-host of the White House in 1834. It was the only time in history when two women
simultaneously acted as unofficial First Lady. Sarah took over all hosting duties after
Emily died from tuberculosis in 1836. [Wikipedia]
   Tall and lanky with red hair and piercing blue eyes, Jackson was known for his fiery
temper, fearlessness, playful personality and daring spirit. [theHermitage.com]
   Andrew and Rachel had no children of their own. However, in 1808, Jackson and Rachel
adopted her nephew, the son of Rachel's brother Severn, naming him Andrew Jackson, Jr.

Notes: Marriage
==========================================================================================
