Elizabeth Jackson Headstone

Elizabeth Jackson gave birth to Andrew Jackson on the way back from her husbands funeral.  When Andrew was 14 she died from small pox in Lancaster, SC.  There have been a lot of different monuments for Elizabeth Jackson the first is at fort Moultrie the second monument was placed in the Waxhaw Cemetery in 1954 and then in 1967 it was moved to the college of Charleston because it is the  closest to the original burial site of Elizabeth Jackson.

Elizabeth Jackson along with her husband Andrew Jackson Sr. and there 2 kids are immigrants from northern Ireland.  She died in November  1781 and no one knows what she looks like exactly.  The old school president Ted Stern asked if they can display Elizabeth head stone because her body is close to the campus but they do not know exactly where it is at so he put it there to honor her.  

Andrew Jackson Jr. was born on March 15, 1767. They where raised on a plantation with there mom after there father  passed away.  He was in the american revolution when he was only 13 years old as a messenger.  During this time Elizabeth Jackson came to Charleston to care for the sick soldiers that where on a British prisoner ship.  Patrick Harwoods VIDEO says that he thinks that Elizabeth Jackson was buried  some where near Magnolia cemetery.
