Elizabeth Ross

Elizabeth Jackson was born 1792 “of” Nashville, Tennessee, USA, and died 05 May 1847 in Lincoln, Tennessee, USA (n.b. probably born NC.)

Parents: as of Sept 2017 DNA test evidence suggests Hannah Jackson and Private Samuel Jackson, Jr. From Stokes County, North Carolina, USA as parents. It appears Elizabeth may have accompanied her brother John G. Jackson to Nashville, Davidson, Tennessee, as many of the rest of their siblings emigrated west to Indiana and Missouri.

Family tradition states that Elizabeth Jackson was a cousin of President Andrew Jackson. Andrew Jackson, known as "Old Hickory" 1767 - 1845; Seventh President of the US; of Scotch- Irish descent; had an estate near Nashville; "Let the people rule" was his motto. He was elected president in 1828 and 1832. Samuel Jackson was a cousin of Andrew Jackson, 7th President of the USA

”Her burial in Lincoln County is unknown. Most list her birth as being in Nashville, Davidson, Tennessee. I do not believe that to be the case, and instead believe she was born in Stokes County, North Carolina and immigrated to Nashville, Davidson, Tennessee with a brother, and maybe some other family members in about 1809/1810. There are no Jackson surnames appearing in any US Census in 1790, 1800, or 1810. The first Jackson's to appear on record in Tennessee were on the 1820 US Census. DNA evidence connects Elizabeth Jackson to both Samuel Jackson and Hannah Gibson.”
