Lyncoya Jackson (c. 1811 – 1828)[2] was the second adopted son of American President Andrew Jackson.[3] Born to Creek (Muscogee/Red Stick) parents, he was orphaned during the Creek Wars following the Battle of Tallushatchee. It is more widely thought that Lyncoya was brought to the Jackson house in 1813[2][4] meaning he was most likely found after The Battle of Talladega. Lyncoya was brought to Jackson after the surviving women in the village refused to care for him.[1] Jackson took pity on the orphan, writing that he felt an "unusual sympathy" for the child, perhaps because of Jackson's own past as an orphan.[1] Lyncoya was educated along with Andrew Jackson's first adopted son, Andrew Jackson Junior,[2][4][5] and Jackson even had aspirations to send him to the American military academy, West Point, but this proved impossible. Instead, Lyncoya was apprenticed to be a saddle maker until he died of tuberculosis in 1828.[2][4][5]
