  • Notes 
    • Hearing that the British were approaching, Andrew Jackson, being older than Ann and Thomas McCuistion's children, helped his Aunt carry a little keg of gold coins down to the creek where they let it sink far out of sight among some fallen trees. It was while they had taken refuge in the smokehouse that a British officer ordered Andrew, then 13, to polish his boots. Andrew refused, and the officer struck him across the cheek with his sword, leaving a lasting scar. Andrew wrote home that 'Dear old great-aunt Ann bandaged it.

      Ann Moody is the great aunt of General Andrew Jackson, 7th president of the United States. Ann was the 'Dear Old Great Aunt' referred to in Andrew Jackson's writings, who took him and sent him to school in Guilford. His parents lived in the wilderness on the line between North and South Carolina at the Waxhaw Settlement.
