It is alleged that this Jackson family were 1st cousins to Andrew Jackson, 7th President of the United States.  That rumor is false.  Andrew Jackson had no siblings, 1st cousins or children of his own.  It is only possible to be related to him distantly as he had no direct descendants.  Thomas ‘Stonewall' Jackson was his 4th or 5th cousin.  It is also claimed that this Jackson family is related to him, but that has never been proven, so it is doubtful if it is true either.
