JAcKSON'S BIRTHPLACE.
Mr.. Salley Again Proves that
Andy Was Born in South
Carolina

In connection with Editor
Wallsce'e structures on the edi-
tofial in the Anderson Daily
Mail about Jackson and Calhoun
let me say that Mr. Wallace is
entirely in error when he says:
'Ms. A. Sailey, the latest
investigator, sought a few years
ago TO prove that the McKenny
house was in Sou h Carolina"
In the first place "Mr. A. S.
Sailey" has never looked into
the matter at all, so far as tie
general public is informed. The
undersigned, who has given
some study to the subject and
has published three widely real
papers thereon, has not, ia either
o; those papers, sought 10 prove
that "tbe Mckenuy house was
n South Carolina he has
shown by the mesne conveyance
records of Mecxlenburg county
that at the time of Jackson's 8
birth one George McKenay, mot
"Mckenney") owned ,rac, of
land in that county, In the pro-
: vince o! North Carolina. That
IL all that has yet been shown
oy the other side TO the contro-
versv. Those people who be-
!ieve that Jackson was born in
North Carolina base their belief
oa a tradition that Gen. Walkup
OF North. Carolina WORKED up in
1858 and gave to James Parton,
who published a life of Jackson
in 1860. Gen. Wslkup found
several old people who stated
that other people older than
themselves had told them many
years before that Jackson was
oorn In TIC house of Georce Nc
hemey. There was ~; -ingle
witness to testify of his or her
own knowledge The hearsay
Witnesses had never heard any
one who was present make
statement, save one old woman
who was but seven years old at
the time Of Jacksons birth.
Every item Of evidence offered
by Parton from Waikup from
r'her people is hearsay IF the
flimsiest character, the hearsay
testimony OF uneducated people,
not one of whom knew where
the boundary line between the
Carolinas was in 1867, rs it had
not been run. Then, after ac-
cepting the tradition that Jack
son was bern in McKemsy's
mouse ss true, there has To b. a
bold presumption that Mckemey
had house upon that trac, OF
land in North Carolina and that
ne lived in that house at the time
that Jackson was born. That is
all there is to the North Carolina
claim, and none OF the claimants
has ever shown ANYTHING more
substantial than that.
On the other hand We have
direct testimony, such as is ad-
missible in courts, that JACKSON
vas born on the plantation OF
Robert Crawford in South Car
olina Jackson himself stated
IN writing a. least a doZsu times
that he was native OF South
Carolina. He stated on par'icular
occasion, when appealed 10 to
give the place OF his birth, tina. he
was born on Robert C.awford's
plantation in the Wsxnaws in
South Carolina. The land re-
