Andrew Jackson ~ 1767-1845 ~ American statesman and
7th President of the US. He married Elizabeth Hutchins
(or Hutchinson), and claimed to have been born somewhere
between Carrickfergus and the US and was brought up in
the back country of the Carolinas. He was probably born
in Waxhaw Settlement, SC. Tennessee was admitted to the
Union in 1796 and Jackson was sent as its representative
to Congress. He was elected to the senate in 1797 but
resigned his seat in 1798 to become judge of the
Tennessee Supreme Court, where he served six years. When
the War of 1812 broke out, he offered his services with
2,500 volunteers of Tennessee militia, of which he was
commander-in-chief. In 1814 Jackson was made a major
general and put in command of the Department of the
South. He repulsed the enemy at Mobile, took Pensacola
by storm, and then marched to New Orleans, where he
fortified the city against the British. His victory of
Jan 8, 1815, made Jackson the hero of the nation.
Neither side knew at that time that a peace treaty had
been signed in Belgium two weeks before. When in 1819,
the US purchased Florida, Jackson was appointed
governor, and in 1823, he was elected to the Senate. In
1824 he was nominated for the Presidency; but the
election went to the House of Representatives which
chose John Quincy Adams. In 1828, Jackson was again
nominated, defeating Adams by a large electoral and
popular majority. He introduced the theory that "to the
victors belong the spoils", and made wholesale removals
of Federal officials to make room for his own
appointees. He attacked the US Bank, opposing the
renewal of its charter, which would expire in 1836. He
was reelected in 1832 and opposed the South Carolina
nullification movement. After his second term, Jackson
lived in retirement at "The Hermitage" near Nashville.
Old Hickory, it has been said, is the most famous
Ulster-Scot of them all.1,5,14

Thomas Jonathan 'Stonewall' Jackson ~ 1824-1863 ~ Confederate General born in Virginia. He graduated from
West Point and served with distinction in the Mexican
War. Veteran of the Mexican War and lecturer at the
Virginia Military Institute gained the nickname
'Stonewall' for his dour and determined approach to
warfare (this reference from 1) (Ref. 14 says he won the
name at the first battle of Bull Run because his brigade
stood "like a stone wall" against the Union troops.) In
1861 he became a brigadier general in the confederate
forces. The firm stand of his brigade at Bull Run won
him the nickname "Stonewall" (this reference from 5).
Jackson's Shenandoah Valley Campaign of 1862 is one of
the classics of military strategy. He defeated three
separate Union armies and prevented the Western Federal
Army from reinforcing McClellan. Later in the same year,
Jackson aided Lee in the Seven Days' Battles, cooperated
in the strategy that resulted in the brilliant
Confederate victory of Second Bull Run, and captured
Harper's Ferry. Jackson was accidentally shot by his own
men after having executed a flank march which surprised
Hooker and contributed to Lee's victory at
Chancellorsville. Pneumonia set in, and his death
resulted.1,5
