The TN historical marker at this site reads: "About one mile southwest of this location this log house was built in 1777 by this office who was a veteran of the French and Indian War and a major in the American Revolutionary War. He is buried in the family cemetery nearby. Andrew Jackson lived here in 1788-89 while practicing law in Jonesborough. The house was moved intact to this site in 1974 to preserve it from demolition."

A week after submitting this waymark I discovered that it has been removed from NRHP on 05/08/09, although still acceptable as a waymark per the category group. Delisting notice (visit link)
