President Andrew Jackson. Andrew Jackson is traditionally reported to have been born on March 15, 1767 near Waxhaw, SC. His father was an Irish immigrant, who had died shortly after his birth. Jacksons mother, however, continued on in the true frontier fashion of the day and raised Andrew and his three brothers in the backwoods of early America. At age nine, Andrew and his family were swept into the passions of the Revolutionary War.
