Pickett Family Genealogy Forum
  
Are you sure your ancestor was James (H) Pickett? My ggg-grandfather Aventon Pickett had a brother by the name of James Martin Pickett, (born approx. 1809 who reportedly married someone by name of Tabitha.) Regarding the early Pickett emigrations, check out the web-site for Palatines of America: http://www.genealogy.org:80/~palam/ia_index.htm
Under the letter "P" you'll find:
Pickett, John, Thomas, Caleb
1666 from England
I also understand many French Hugeunot ships arrived in Virginia in about 1700 and at least my branch of the Pickett family were supposedly French Hugeunots (name probably originally spelled Piquot.) My first known ancestor was Ralph Picket (one T) on 1790 Census Records in Rowan County, NC. I have information about various other Picketts/Piggotts who moved from New England to North Carolina in early 1700s. E-mail me for more details.
