Picketts in WI, NY, CT
I am looking for the parents of Ira Pickett.I have been told that the parents names were Benjamin and Susanna.Ira was born in NY in 1804 and moved to WI between 1840 and 1850. In 1840 he was in Cortland Co., NY and in 1850 he was in Rock Co., WI. I have him pretty well documented from 1840 until his death in 1891. Ira married Lydia in NY, their children are: Martin (b. abt 1835 in NY), Orren (b. 1837 in NY), Amelia (b. abt 1839 in NY), Oliver (b. 1845 in WI), George R. (b. 1848 in WI), Lydia (b. 1850) and Julia Ann (b. 1851 in WI). In all the census documents it states that Ira's parents were born in CT. I believe I found the right Benjamin in the 1830, 1840, and 1850 census also in Cortland Co., NY. If this is the right Benjamin, then Ira had 2 brothers and 3 sisters.Two of the sisters are Mary (b. 1813) and Sarah(b. 1818, this might be the Sarah that married someone with the last name Hunt).The other sister's name might be Amy, and the brothers names might be Ery (or Eri) and Jeremy. I would really appreciate any help that can be given on any of these people in any of these states.I am pretty new at this so any hints as to where I might look or what else I can do are also welcome.
