Caution

While this person is NOT a direct Ancestor of US President Andrew Jackson, the lineage of this person is regularly conflated as people try to make a connection to the president. For that reason, the US Presidents Project will be managing the profile. A majority of people use the book ANDREW JACKSON THE BORDER CAPTAIN, by MARQUIS JAMES^[1] as evidence of the ancestry of the Crawfords. The author acknowledges,in his Personal Acknowledgements at the end of the book, that he has made assumptions in the ancestry of the people portrayed in the book.

Biography

Jane Hutchinson's sister, Elizabeth Hutchinson Jackson was the mother of US President Andrew Jackson.

As Andrew Jackson' father died when he was very young, he and his mother spent much of his youth in the home of Jane Hutchinson Crawford.

Jane (Jennett) Hutchinson, who signed herself as "Jennett" on June 1, 1774, as per Deed Book H, Page 100, Lancaster Co., S.C., and in another deed as "Jean", married James Crawford in Lancaster or Cumberland Co.. Pennsylvania.^{[citation needed]} Her husband was a native of southeastern Pennsylvania, son of Col. John Crawford, who in turn was a native of Ayrshire Scotland. James Crawford and his wife joined the movement of Scotch Irish from Pennsylvania to the Carolinas and settled about the year 1760 north of what is now Lancaster, S.C., near the present state line, but inside South Carolina, and about two and a half miles southwest of where Samuel Leslie settled a few years later.^{[citation needed]}
