Orphaned at age fourteen, Andrew had only distant maternal relatives to supervise his continuing education, which he resumed after a brief residence in Charleston. In his late teens, Andrew read law, was admitted to the bar in 1787, and became an outstanding young lawyer in Tennessee.

In a letter, Andrew Jackson later wrote about his mother:

I knew she died near Charleston, having visited that City with several matrons to afford relief to our prisoners with the British – not her son as you suppose, for at that time my two Elder brothers were no more; but two of her Nephews, William and Joseph Crawford, Sons of James Crawford, then deceased. I well recollect one of the matrons that went with her was Mrs. Barton. If possible, Mrs. Barton can inform me where she was buried that I can find her grave. This to me would be great satisfaction, that I might collect her bones and inter them with that of my father and brothers.
