Rachel Donelson Robards Jackson, born Rachel Donelson, (June 15, 1767 – December 22, 1828) was the wife of Andrew Jackson, the 7th President of the United States.〔(National First Ladies' Library )〕〔(White House History biography )〕 She lived with him at their home at The Hermitage, where she died just days after his election and before his inauguration in 1829—therefore she was never First Lady, a role assumed by her niece, Emily Donelson. ==Early life and education== Rachel Donelson was born near the Banister River, about ten miles from Chatham, Virginia in Pittsylvania County on June 15, 1767.〔〔 Her father was Colonel John Donelson (1718–1785), co-founder of Nashville, Tennessee, and her mother was Rachel Stockley Donelson (1730-1801).〔 Her great-grandfather, Patrick Donelson, was born in Scotland about 1670.〔 She had seven brothers and three sisters:〔 *Alexander Donelson (1749-1785) *Mary Donelson Caffrey (1751-?) *Catherine Donelson Hutchings (1752-1835) *Stockley Donelson (1753-1804) *Jane Donelson Hay (1757-1834) *John Donelson (1755-1830) *William Donelson (1756-1820) *Samuel Donelson (1758-1804) *Severn Donelson (1763 or 1773 -1818) *Leven Donelson (1765-?) From about 1770 to 1779, her father operated the Washington Iron Furnace at Rocky Mount, Franklin County, Virginia. With her family, she moved to Tennessee at the age of twelve.〔 Her father led about six hundred people from Fort Patrick Henry to Fort Nashborough, down the Cumberland River.〔 The Donelson family were among the first white settlers in Tennessee.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rachel Jackson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
