Micajah Pickett and Susannah Johns were never legally married. Check out Greenville SC Equity Court file 1824 #8 which is a suit between the children of Cassandra and the children of Susannah. The suit states that Micajah DESERTED Cassandra in 1800 and "took up" with Susannah Johns. Cassandra's children are listed as Jephtha, William, Isaiah, Elizabeth Mobley (wife of Samuel), Mary Jones, James, Charles, Reuben, Micajah Jr.; son John was not listed for some reason. The children of Susannah were Susannah McKenny (wife of James), Malachi, Joseph, Matilda, Benjamin, & Eliza. The suit states that James McKenny had married the illegitamnet dauther of Micajah. There is a reference to Micajah Pickett's will being made in Buncombe Co. NC. Also to current residence (1824) of late Micajah Pickett's widow Cassandra as Franklin Co. MS.
