Hannah Jackson

[2] According to an 1894 interview with Hannah by the Nashville newspaper Daily American, she stated Jackson received her as payment from a client for legal services.

[3] In her interviews, Hannah recounts many positive actions by Jackson, saying that he was very kind to her and the other enslaved African Americans.

[5] The Daily American also implies that Hannah may be a source for the story that Jackson was slashed by a British officer when he was a child.

[8] In 2007, Dorothy Price-Haskins wrote a historical fiction novel called Unholiest Patrimony: "The Truth is Great and It Must Prevail.

[15] The work is presented as a "novel based on fact" that portrays Andrew Jackson as having a sexual relationship with Hannah, resulting in a daughter, Charlotte.

For example, Hannah told a story about one visitor who would use an enslaved woman for sexual pleasure while staying at the Hermitage; although Rachel was enraged, Jackson would plead obliviousness.
