Jackson married Rachel Donelson Robards. She had been the wife of Lewis Robards, a man subject to intense jealousy and fits of violent rage.

Mrs. Robards separated from her jealous husband in 1790. She began living with Jackson and calling herself Mrs. Jackson. Jackson and Mrs. Robards were finally legally married in 1794.
