Biography

Andrew was born in Pennsylvania in 1764. He served during the Revolutionary War and served again in 1813 as a recruiter during the War of 1812. He married Elizabeth McCoy. When Elizabeth died in 1810, he remarried to Nancy Carnahan in 1811. They lived in the town of Deer on the Ohio River in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. Andrew was one of the first riverboat captains on the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. He died of yellow fever in Natchez, Mississippi in 1844. His body was returned to his home town for burial with his first wife, Elizabeth, in Bull Creek Cemetery in West Deer Township, Pennsylvania.

Excerpt from Allegheny County history by Thomas Cushing ^[1]

Andrew Jack, grandfather of James P., came from east of the mountains during the early part of the present century, settling at Jack's run, which was named after him, and here he built a gristmill and a stone house. He was pilot of the steamer New Orleans (the first steamer on the Ohio, or built at Pittsburgh), which made her first voyage to New Orleans in 1811; he continued on the river for many years, making many trips to New Orleans and returning on foot. He died at Natchez, Miss., of yellow fever.
