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.

President Andrew JACKSON's mother was Elizabeth HUTCHINSON (1737-1781), the daughter of Cyrus & Margaret (LISLE) HUTCHINSON. Elizabeth had a sister, Jennet "Jane" HUTCHINSON, who married Edward Alexander CRAWFORD. Edward and Jennet had a son Edward Alexander CRAWFORD Jr. (1770-1846).

Edward CRAWFORD Jr. married Margaret Jane DUNLAP (1774-1841), who was the daughter of Agnes Nancy CRAIGHEAD (1740-1790) and George DUNLAP (1737-1807). Agnes Nancy Craighead was the daughter of Rev. Alexander Holmes CRAIGHEAD (1706-1766).

Rev. Alexander H. CRAIGHEAD also had a son, Capt. Robert CRAIGHEAD (1751-1821). Capt. Robert CRAIGHEAD had a son, William Craighead (1778-1835), and that leads us back William's son, Samuel Geddes CRAIGHEAD (1814-1889), who married Nancy MCGILL (1814-1898), the daughter of William Nathan MCGILL Jr. (1783-1832). AND . . . You know the rest of the story if you have been following NW Okie's Ancestrial Lineage for the past few weeks.
