Эндрю Джексон родился 15 марта 1767 года в семье колонистов, имевших шотландские и ирландские корни. Эндрю и Элизабет Хатчинсон-Джексон эмигрировали в США из Ирландии за два года до рождения сына Эндрю. Двигаясь в общем потоке переселенцев из Пенсильвании в Каролину, они остановились в местечке Воксхоу — в 160 милях северо-западнее Чарлстона, где заняли около 200 акров земли рядом со своими родственниками. Эндрю Джексон-отец в течение двух лет пытался создать ферму, но в январе 1767 г. неожиданно умер, а через два месяца, в марте, Элизабет родила сына, названного ею в честь мужа. Старшие братья: Хью (родился в 1763) и Роберт (родился в 1764) — родились ещё в Ирландии и переселились в США вместе с родителями.
Andrew Jackson was born on March 15, 1767 in a family of colonists who had Scottish and Irish roots. Andrew and Elizabeth Hutchinson-Jackson emigrated to the United States from Ireland two years before the birth of their son Andrew. Moving in the general flow of migrants from Pennsylvania to Carolina, they stopped in the town of Vauxhaw, 160 miles north-west of Charleston, where they occupied about 200 acres of land next to their relatives. Andrew Jackson-father tried to create a farm for two years, but died unexpectedly in January 1767, and two months later, in March, Elizabeth gave birth to a son, named after her husband. Older brothers: Hugh (born 1763) and Robert (born 1764) were born in Ireland and moved to the USA with their parents.
