Yorkshire, not Scotland????

Great grandmother (from Scotland) said she was his second cousin. Probably not. :)

"Andrew Jackson (1767-1845), the seventh President of the United States, most probably belonged to haplogroup I1 based on results from the Jackson DNA Project. His genealogy shows that he is descended from Richard Jackson (1505-1562) from Killingsworth, Eske, Yorkshire, England. Several members (e.g. 93323, 188015, 222633) of this lineage have been tested and they all belong to I1-M253."

I wouldn't rule it out, just yet, Erica. There are so many cross connections between England, Scotland and Ireland etc... ;-)
But very interesting. More tests! More testers! :-)!
