AARON was only six years old when he was bought by (President) Andrew Jackson in 1791 and HANNAH was less than twelve years old when purchased in 1794. Hannah was Rachel Jackson’s “personal companion” and later became head of the “house servants.” Aaron was trained as a blacksmith, an important position on the plantation. Hannah and Aaron married around 1820 and raised ten children. They took the surname “Jackson” following Emancipation.
