JACKSON AS A DUELLIST Fred JL, Old Writ of Old Hickory' Meeting? With Col. Avery NO PRESIDENT of the United States was more in the public eye than Andrew Jackson, who fairly won his popular title "Old Hickory." Be ginning as a boy, when he struck a British offi cer who wished him to pull off his boots and black them, he al ways showed high spirit, daring, bravery and coolness of the most unquestioned kind throughout his career. For many a year there has been a con test as to the birthplace of this great American. It was in the Waxhaw settle ment, on the border between North and South Carolina, a sort of debatable ground, so to speak. South Carolina has been very zealous in claiming the loca tion, but within the past ten years, it has been settled beyond question, by govern- him that he had but recently moved to that section and had so far built nothing but rough log cabins for his people and hence was in no condition to take boarders. lie recommended Jackson to go to Salisbury, then the most prominent town in Western North Carolina. Jack son took his advice, studied, got his license and opened an office, remaining until Tennessee began to be opened. Avery and Jackson had become well acquainted while Avery practiced law at Charlotte, in Mecklenburg county. Avery was very prominent, having been elected in 1777 the first attorney general of this state. He lived for a time in the eastern part of the state and was made a colonel of a regiment in Jones county. His mili tia did not, however, serve actively dur ing the revolution, save in some occasional brushes with Tories, though it was called out when Cornwallis came into North Carolina and fought the battle of Guil ford Court House. It was Avery, who a SZZAvL tc - 1 4 ANDREW JACKSON'S CHALLENGE TO COL. AVERY ment and state surveys of the boundary, that the cabin in which Jackson was born and indeed the whole of bis father's little farm was on the North Carolina side. Tennessee claims Jackson as her own child by adoption but not by birth, while North Carolina regards her own claim as to his birthplace as being secure beyond question. Quite recently a mem orial in the form of a slab of native granite has been placed on the site of his birthplace in this coui try. The memorials of Jackson in this state are but few. His law office, a little one story affair, which would be called almost a shack nowadays, stands in Salisbury and within the not distant past his "shingle" swung at its front : "Andrew Jackson, Attorney at Law." Jackson, when the revolutionary war ended, went to the county of Burke, which had but recently been established, with Morgan ton as the county seat, to study law under Col.Waightstill Avery, who had a country place in the suburbs. He asked Avery to take him as a boarder, but Avery told had great influence, his family being one of the most notable in the state, then and now, who secured the enactment of a law by the legislature, creating the county of Washington, which then embraced all the territory which is now Tennessee, and Jonesboro was made the county seat. Jackson went from Salisbury to Jones boro and remained there until the new county of Davidson was created out of about half of Washington county, Nash ville being named as the county seat; that place later becoming the capital of Tennessee when that state was formed. The counties of Davidson and Washing ton were under the jurisdiction of North Carolina, though for a time the "State of Franklin" was attempted to be fixed on the map by John Sevier, a North Carolina pioneer who had pushed across the great Blue Ridge mountains into the new ter ritory, his principal assistant being James Robertson, but this State of Franklin had but a brief existence, and i3 now only a memory. At one time it had its own
