Title	General Andrew Jackson's Mother Did Not Die on the Roadside
Description	Nashville Banner print giving details of the death and burial of Andrew Jackson's mother. The broadside refutes the rumor that Mrs. Jackson was buried on the roadside.
Historical Note	Elizabeth Hutchison Jackson (ca. 1740 - November 2, 1781) was the mother of U. S. President Andrew Jackson. She was born in Carrickfergus, County Antrim, Ireland. She married Andrew Jackson, Sr. in Carrickfergus about 1765. After seeing her son, Andrew, through a near-fatal case of smallpox, she went to Charleston to nurse captured American soldiers languishing on British prisoner-of-war ships. She contracted cholera in Charleston and died when the future president was 14 years old.
