Andrew Jackson, Sr. was the father of Andrew Jackson, the 7th President of the United States. He was born in Carrickfergus, County Antrim, in Ireland. He died in a lumber accident before Andrew Jackson was born. Though listed as the birth father, his death occurred before possible conception of Andrew Jackson, Jr. Biographies list a few weeks, but vital records dispute his death in February, 1767. The name is believed to have been given as a namesake rememberance.

The house that he lived in is now preserved as the Andrew Jackson Centre and is open to the public.
