I'm rather surprised that until now Andrew Jackson was left out. Check http://www.ulsterscotssociety.com/about_the-roots.html and http://www.scotchirish.net/US%20Presidency.php4 concerning his being Scotch-Irish American.

[edit] Sources

Does anyone have a source that Ronald Reagan is Scots-Irish-American? he had one Scottish great-grandparent, that's all.[1] Mad Jack 06:56, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

I take it that the term 'Scots-Irish Americans' includes anybody living / or who has lived in America having Irish or Scottish roots.

No, Scots-Irish means "Ulster Scots" in American English. The descendents of Scottish settlements in Ireland.GordyB (talk) 21:50, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
