President Andrew Johnson was born 125 feet east of the marker on December 29, 1808. The cabin has been relocated to Mordecai Historic Park in Raleigh. Johnson became a tailor and eventually moved to Tennessee where he became involved in government, serving in the legislature, the U.S. House of Representatives, as governor of Tennessee, and in the U.S. Senate. He stayed in the U.S. Senate after Tennessee seceded. Although he was a Democrat, he was selected as Abraham Lincoln's vice-presidential running mate on a unity ticket in 1864, and became president after Lincoln's death. Johnson served as president 1865-1969 and died in 1875. More information can be found at wikipedia (visit link)
