Annie Jewell Jackson, Porter Oather Rippy and President Andrew Jackson

Time for another "presidential" ancestry post. Andrew Jackson (born 1767/d. 1845) is one of the persons whom we are indirectly related to via Miss Annie Jewell Jackson and the Rippy family.

Annie was born on 15 January 1894 in Dallas, TX to Caleb William Jackson and Eva Green Crosby.
Caleb's father, James Everts Jackson was one of the Dallas County pioneers who came to the Peters' Colony area in 1846. James Everts Jackson was 20 years old then.

James Everts married Diana Jane Davis on 10 December 1849. Annie's father Caleb was born in 1866.

Anyway, in 1900 little Jewell lived with her parents in Justice Precinct 2 (east part) which was in Dallas, TX (1).

At the age of (almost 23) Annie married Mr. Porter Oather Rippy (born in 1889 in Tennessee), our 3rd cousin once removed. Porter's mother was Mary Frances Rippy (nee Gant), our second cousin twice removed.

Porter was a farmer, a man of a stout figure, medium height. His yes were brown and his hair was dark brown (3).



Here is our Porter Oather Rippy's family line*

his mother Mary Frances Gant (b. 1 Jan. 1866, Sumner Co. TN/d. 8 March 1943)
married Robert Sydney Rippy (b. 14 March 1866) on 1 August 1888 in Dallas County, TX (4,5,6).



her father Jacob Mason Gant (b. 1 Dec 1849, Sumner Co., TN/d. 8 Feb. 1914, Richardson, Dallas Co., TX) + wife Mary Jane Graves (b. 24 July 1850, Allen, Kentucky), the daughter of  Wiley Graves and Mary Ann Charlton. Jacob and Mary married on  19 Jan. 1868 in Sumner, TN (7).


his father Benjamin Thomas Gant (b. 1812, Orange, NC/d. 1865, Sumner, TN) - on 20 May 1883 (8), he married Miss Mary (Polly) Tarpley (b. 6 Dec. 1812 in Orange, NC), the daughter of  Mason Tarpley and Elizabeth Cooke.

his brother Jacob Rippy Gant, our great-great-grandfather.

Where is President Andrew Jackson in that all?

Annie was a direct descendant of Andrew Jackson's grandfather's brother, Samuel William Jackson (born in Carrickfergus, Antrim, Ireland, in 1737). In other words, Mr. Andrew Jackson was Annie's cousin four times removed.

And this is how Annie Jewell Jackson's ancestry line goes*

his father James Everts Jackson (b. 1 April 1826, Blount, Tennessee/d. 16 July 1903, Dallas, Dallas County, Texas) married Diana Jane Davis (b. 14 Feb. 1831, Harrison, Charles, Virginia) on 10 Dec. 1849 in Dallas, TX.

his father John Hays Jackson (b. 17 April 1798, Blount, TN/d. 5 Sept. 1875, Audelia, Dallas, Texas) + wife Eliza Brown (b. 26 July 1802, Blount, TN). They married on 4 July 1822 in Blount County, TN (9).

his father Andrew Jackson (b. 7 March 1761, Carrickfergus, Antrim, Ireland/d. 31 Jan. 1815, Blount, Tennessee) + wife Jean Sloan - they married on 8 June 1797 in Blount, TN (10).

his father Samuel William Jackson (b. ≈ 1727, Carrickfergus, Antrim, Ireland/d. 1814, Augusta, Virginia) + wife Martha Vateau (b. about 1739, Dublin, Ireland) - married on 22 Jan. 1791 in Middlesex, Virginia (11).

his brother Andrew Bennett Jackson (b. 20 July 1737, Carrickfergus, Antrim, Ireland/d. 1 March 1767, Waxhaw, Lancaster, South Carolina) + wife Elizabeth Hutchinson

his son Andrew Jackson

Annie Jewell and Porter Oather Rippy had seven children - four girls and three boys.
Annie lived 70 years and one day. She died in Garland, Texas on 16 January 1967, a day after her 70th birthday.


Porter passed away ten years earlier on 15 July 1957 due to cerebral hemorrhage. Porter lived 68 years, one month and fifteen days.

Annie and Porter's home was at 310 Sallie Circle, Richardson, Texas then (12). Their house which was built only three years earlier still exists. I googled the address and found out that the house was for sale.

Both Porter and Annie were buried at Restland Memorial Park in Dallas, Texas.
