Was Stonewall Jackson related to Andrew Jackson?

Answer 1

Seeing as Jackson had a TON of kids, it is hard to trace his genealogy. There are several possible connections. One, making them cousins, twice removed, is the most likely. However, the only Thomas Jackson (Stonewall's real name) in Andrew Jackson's direct family was his great grandson, a man of Ireland. While it is unlikely that there is any relation, we'll probably never know. I suppose that means you can say he was, but bear in mind it would be a very thin connection.

Answer 2

‘Stonewall Jackson’ WAS BORN NOVEMBER 6, 1932, IN TABOR CITY, North Carolina. HE IS AN AMERICAN COUNTRY SINGER AND MUSICIAN WHO ATTAINED HIS POPULARITY DURING COUNTRY and Western'S "THE HONKY TONK ERA" IN THE LATE 1950's AND WELL INTO THE MID 1970's. STONEWALL JACKSON WAS NAMED AFTER ONE OF HIS ANCESTORS, THE WELL-KNOWN "CONFEDERATE GENERAL, THOMAS ‘STONEWALL’ JACKSON." HIS NAME, STONEWALL JACKSON, IS NOT A STAGE NAME OR AN ALIAS - IT IS HIS ACTUAL GIVEN NAME. ONE OF HIS MOST POPULAR SONGS WAS "WATERLOO," RELEASED IN 1959. THIS SONG IS A HAUNTING AND CATCHY TUNE, WHICH STATES, "EVERYBODY HAS TO MEET HIS WATERLOO," DENOTATING EACH OF US WILL HAVE TO FACE OUR OWN INEVITABLE FATE. "WATERLOO," REFERS TO ADAMIRAL Napoleon Bonaparte’S DEMISE.
