Andrew Jackson Hutchings, The Last Adopted Child of Gen. Andrew and Rachel Jackson
The last of the children embraced by the Jacksons was Andrew Jackson Hutchings (1812-1841). Hutchings was the grandson of Rachel's sister and the son of a former business partner of Jackson's. Both of his parents died by the time he was five. So in 1817, little Hutchings, as the family called him, came to live permanently at The Hermitage.
He attended school with Andrew Jr. and Lyncoya. He then attended colleges in Washington and Virginia while Jackson was president. In 1833, he married Mary Coffee, daughter of Jackson's friend John Coffee, and moved to Alabama. Hutchings died in 1841.
