Notes |
- Census and other records are unclear and very confusing regarding names and places. As a child Andrew Jackson Hume's name was sometimes provided as Andrew and sometimes as Jackson. As an older adult he was widely known as "Uncle Jack". Census records consistently recorded his parents as both being born in OH (except 1920 listed the mother as IA). Andrew Jackson's birthplace was provided as OH in the 1850 census (as was John's whereas Jane, Sarah/Huldah, & Samuel/James were provided as IA). It was provided as IN in the 1860 census (as it was for Huldah/Sarah, James/Samuel, & Margaret). How ever, thereafter it was provided as IA in military, census, etc. records. Burt indicated on his father's Certificate of Death that their birthplaces and the name of the mother were not known. Subsequently, the mother has been identified by family members as Elizabeth Turner; but no evidence of his father having married in OH before Andrew Jackson's 184 0 birth has been uncovered. His father apparently returned to Athens Co, OH from IA in 1843 to marry Nancy Harrington and in 1847 was married in Van Buren Co, IA (also by Matthew Crawford) to Elizabeth Harrington. The latter could well be the Elizabeth Turner who was married in Athens Co, OH in 1838 to James Harrington. Thus, Elizabeth Turner would have been a step-mother--unless ??.
Areas of land owned by Andrew Jackson and others are identified on copies in the preparer's files from Plat Books for an earlier undated time as well as 1877 and 1920 and in a Powersville Centennial publication.
