My gg-grandparents were Joseph Pickett and Mary Jane Yates. Joseph was born Aug. 28, 1819 in NC to Aventon Pickett and Susannah Evans. His siblings were: Feriby married to Henry Ader, William married to Rachel Collings, Hiram married to Eliza Weesner, Sabra married to Benjamin Ader, Mary Lillyana married to Joseph G. Collings, Rachel married to Isaac Jackson Duree, Avington married to Feriby Duree and Rosanna married to Harvey C. Yates (a brother to Mary Jane Yates who married Joseph Pickett.) Mary Jane Yates was born July 5, 1818 in Bullitt County, KY, the daughter of Isaac Yates and Rachel Collings(from the Spencer Collings family of Kentucky.) Joseph Pickett married Mary Jane Yates in approximately 1838 and they had 8 children: Feriby, Susan "Catherine", Mary Ellen, Sarah Elizabeth, Surilda Ann, Hester, Prisilla, and William Harvey (my great-grandpa). Mary Jane Yates Pickett died Oct. 10, 1858 in Mercer County, MO. On Nov. 26, 1863 in Mercer County, MO Joseph Pickett remarried to Harriet (Robinson) Booker and he had 8 more children with her: Rachel Rosella, Ladonna, Mary Jane, Abigail, Christina, Joseph A., Susannah and Obed Pickett. Joseph Pickett died July 6, 1882 and is buried in Mercer County, MO along with his second wife, Harriet who died in 1835. I have more information about the ancestors of both Joseph Pickett and Mary Jane Yates if you'd like to contact me directly.
