Abstract:
Elizabeth Hutchinson was born in Ireland and came to America with her husband Andrew Jackson a decade before the Revolutionary War. They settled in North Carolina. She was widowed when her children were young and was largely responsible for the development of the character of her son Andrew, who would later become President of the United States. While caring for wounded American Revolutionary War soldiers in Charleston, South Carolina, she contracted a fever, died, and was buried in an unmarked grave.
