son was born at McKemey's house
while his mother was visiting
there. Straightway he was "of
opinion" that he owned the tract
of land upon which jackson was
born. He told Gen. Walkup of
Union county about it and Gen.
Walkup gathered a lot of hearsay
statements from old people in the
neighborhood and succeeded
Herewith in convincing over
credulous and poorly Informed
people that Jackson was born on
that Cureton tract. Not q single
one of the hearsay witnesses had
heard a statement direct from a
grown person who had been pres
ent at Jackson's birth, and no
statement was specific as to the
place. The entire evidence is
utterly unworthy of the atten-
tion of anyone having the slight
est pretensions to historical
knowledge. Granting that the
tradition that Jackson was born
in Mckemey's house was correct
land there is absolutely nothing
to sustain it) there is no proof
whatsoever that McKemey's
house stood on his own tract of
land three miles away from the
place where Jackson himself has
said that he was born.
