NW Okie's Ancestrial Lineage

Well! It appears I have found another interesting ancestry that has crossed this NW Okie's ancestry path! This time it is the 7th President of America (Maj. Gen., Senator, Representative, Attorney General, attorney of Tennessee) Andrew Jackson, Jr. (1767-1845).

Jackson's relationship to me is 1st cousin of husband of 1st cousin 1x removed of husband of 2nd great grand aunt. Got that? Let me see if I can add some clarity to that relationship.

Agnes Nancy Craighead (1740_1790)

Nancy Craighead, born 17 March 1740 in Octarora Pennsylvania and died 9 November 1790, with a memorial in the Old Waxhaw Presbyterian Cemetery, Lancaster, Lancaster County, South Carolina. Nancy Craighead married her first husband, Rev. William Richardson (1729-1771), in 1759. Nancy Craighead married in 1772 to George Dunlap (1736-1796), shortly after Nancy was acquitted in the "Witchcraft trial" for the death of her first husband.

George Dunlap (1736-1807)

Agnes Nancy Craighead's second husband, George Dunlap (1736-1807), is thought to be descended from William Dunlop (1650-1700), known as "William Dunlop the Covenanter," who founded the ill-fated colony of Port Royal in South Carolina. George Dunlap (1736-1807) was quite possibly (but not certainly, proven) to be a son of Capt. Alexander Dunlap (1712-1744) and Jean Ann McFarland. Capt. Alexander Dunlap is a son of an elder Alexander Dunlop (c1672-1742) who was a Professor of Greek at Glasgow University.

Waxhaw Settlement of South Carolina

The Waxhaws Settlement took its name from an affluent of the Catawba River, and the creek itself was named after a band of Indians who had villages on its banks a century earlier. The Crawford brothers bought land on the creek within the bounds of the settlement. But Jackson went about six miles farther and "took up a claim" on anther stream known as twelve-mile Creek.

Biography of Andrew Jackson by Philo A. Goodwin, Esq.

Andrew Jackson was born at Waxhaw, District of Marion, in the state of South Carolina, 15 March 1767. His father was a native of Ireland; emigrated to America with his family, a wife and two sons, in 1765, to escape from oppressions which were heaped by the English government upon the middle and lower classes of that ill-fated country. Jackson's father was also known as one of the "United Men" and died about two years after his emigration, and escaped British tyranny.

DUNLOP Surname Origins

The Origin of the surname Dunlop, Dunlap, DeLap is of a Gaelic locality. Dunlap is derived from the lands of Dunlop in the District of Cunningham. It is a well known Ayrshire (SW Scotland) surname. The first part is derived from the Gaelic word "dun" which means "a fort or strong place" (all Iron Age fortresses in this language were called "Duns", i.e.: Dun Aidenn, Dunadd, Dumbarton, Dunbar, Dunkelt, etc). The second part probably derives from the Gaelic word "laib" or "lug" meaning "the winding or bending."

Davy Crockett (1786-1836)

Remember the Alamo? Remember "Davy! Davy Crockett! King of the Wild Frontier?" Remember Davy Crockett? Did he really wear a coonskin cap? Did he kill a bear when he was three? I believe that last to be only a myth.
