Elizabeth Jackson

Born in 1740 Elizabeth Hutchinson Jackson, mother of our seventh president of the United States, Andrew Jackson. She held a great value on family, she loved both her sons and nephews. During the revolutionary War. the British invaded South Carolina and captured Charleston in addition to Andrew II and her nephews. This caused Elizabeth to move to Charleston and bargain for their lives. It's assumed that her nephews and second son died of small pox  but still She arranged for a transfer because of her history with helping other prisoners and soldiers who escaped the British.

Our dear Elizabeth succumbed to cholera which is an bacterial disease that infects the lining of the stomach and cause very watery diarrhea.

Elizabeth Jackson's tomb stone 

Her headstone was actually located many other places before it was transferred here to the COFC campus. It was in Lancaster, SC and they wanted to put it by railroad tracks but the people relocating it decided to place her on the property. According to Mr. Harwood it is suspected that there is a general area where her remains are and that are is about 2 miles from the tombstones current location (outside of the Robert Scott Small building).

Elizabeth Jackson is not buried outside of the Robert Scot Small building, but her memorial tomb stone is. The reason the tomb is in cougar mall is because Andrew didn't know where her remains were, however, there are many theories as to where her remains are. Some say they just threw her into the harbor with the rest of the prisoners she was helping, others say she is somewhere in the Magnolia cemetery, I vote she was thrown from the harbor because it's an interesting way to die and people just wanted to get rid of the body. Still, her remains have never been found.
