Hi Jean,
I have that Jefferson Jeptha (1895-1939) was Jeptha and Julia's grandson.
Jefferson's parents were Theodore L (1867-?) and Irene E [Simpson] (1877-?) Pickett.
I found a slightly different date for Jeptha and Julia's marriage, 8 April 1853. This would be only two months after Sarah Jane Allen died on 3 Feb 1853. So, I hope your date is correct. Either way, the 1860 census shows that Eugene M Pickett was born (Dec 1849 or March 1850) during Jeptha's marriage to Sarah J.
Nancy Scott was Jeptha's mother, not his wife. Younger married Nancy Scott around 1812 (some report 1832).
DNA testing can be done on any of the male descendants of Jeptha; all of his direct male descendants have the same DNA. So, any of your male Pickett cousins could be tested.
I'll look forward to your posting more information.
