Untitled[edit]

Restored edits made before The Mystery Man's erroneous changes.General Bradley 00:17, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Feb. 3 edits restored. These changes are based on new scholarship by Dr. Mark R. Cheathem, Donelson's biographer.

Please be aware that The Mystery Man's edits of Feb. 2007 restored a version of this page that is inaccurate.

The Whig party did not exist in 1856; thus, it did not nominate Donelson as its VP candidate.70.20.55.242 23:36, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Inaccurate Bio[edit]

The Mystery Man has reverted this article to a previous version that is inaccurate and incorrect.General Bradley 13:12, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment[edit]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Andrew Jackson Donelson/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

This article is, for the most part, factually correct. It does not, however, reflect the current scholarship on Donelson, as contained in Mark R. Cheathem's biography, Old Hickory's Nephew: The Political and Private Struggles of Andrew Jackson Donelson (2007).

For example, Donelson did not retire politically after the 1856 election; rather, he continued to be involved in national politics through the Constitutional Union party and, after the Civil War, in Tennessee politics.

For whatever reason, The Mystery Man has repeatedly reverted my attempts to correct the article to the one that you see now. Individuals interested in a more complete and accurate article should see my edits. General Bradley 00:23, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Adoption by Jacksons[edit]

Neither Andrew Jackson Donelson (1799-1871) nor this two brothers were adopted by Andrew and Rachel Jackson. The nephew the Jacksons adopted (and that is a loose term historically) was another Andrew Jackson Donelson, whose twin brother was Thomas Jefferson Donelson. The adopted Andrew Jackson Donelson is known as Andrew Jackson Jr. (1808-1865).General Bradley (talk) 22:34, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
