I am unable to tell you where I got this. My collected materials on Picketts all came from published sources in historical, not genealogical, magazines. We've just moved, and so I can't scrounge around for the articles,but I can type out what is on my computer file for you here: Col. James Chamberlayne Pickett b. 6 feb 1793 Fauquier Co, VA - d. 10 Jul 1872 Washington, D.C. married on 6 Oct 1818 at Maysville, KY to Ellen Deshathe dau. of Joseph Desha Governor of Kentucky from 1824 to 1828 and his wife, Margaret Bledsoe. I believe this is the couple you are looking for in your posting. James is son of Col. John S. Pickett b. 4 Dec 1768 Fauquier Co, VA and his wife Elizabeth Chamberlayne;> Col. William Sanford Pickett b.c. 1731 + Elizabeth Metcalfe >James Sanford Pickett b.1709 + Mary Mildmay >George Pickett b.c.1681 + Ida Martin > Henry Pickett b.c. 1640 Lancaster, England + 1st wife, Sarah who are also the ancestors of General George Pickett of Pickett's Charge fame, Confederate Army. Now, I noticed on some other descendancy lists for Henry, this George is not shown. So, if this is a connection you are after you will need to document the links or be sure to record them with the notation/disclaimer that they are not documented. I have not sought public records to do so. Good luck with your research. I am sorry I don;'t have the sister, but if you find her you can email her data to me. I's like to ad her to my collection of thiis family. I am at [email protected]
