Henry3 Pickard was born about 1788 Chatham Co NC.19 He may have first married (--?--) [Pickard];probably two children. He married Nancy Petty about 1817 in NC,21 probably Chatham Co; probably sevenchildren. All the children were born Chatham Co. Nancy's parents were John Petty and Martha Sanders,daughter of William Sanders and Agatha [Sanders].Henry and Nancy moved to Smith Co TN about 1831, and to Highland, Greene Co IN by 1841. Bornabout 1794 in NC, Nancy died Highland, date not known to us.Henry married "Mickey" Hodges 19 Dec 1844 Greene Co;45 no children known to us. She was bornabout 1798 in NC. He died about 1860 Highland, Greene Co, age about 72.With the marriage of Henry Pickard and Nancy Pettyour PICKARD lineage is joined by our PETTY lineage– see {Section 3a} --We know very little, unfortunately, about Henry and Nancy. Only recently we found out that they wentto Indiana rather than remaining in North Carolina or Tennessee.With regard to reasons why they left NC and TN, we know that many Quaker families in the area didso in the 1830s. This may have been because of religious disagreement with slavery, a desire to be elsewherebefore war came, urging of friends and relatives, etc. We believe Henry's great-uncle John, page 3b-18,became a Quaker, and we think it likely that Henry and Nancy may also have been members.Recently we received information from Barbara Pickard,45 which includes two children of Henry andNancy we had not known about, and three others we had thought probable. Although we have not picked upher data about previous generations, we have added some of her information about the children of Henry andNancy. Incidentally, Barbara believes Henry and Nancy were married about 1811.a) John4 Pickard, born 15 Apr 1810, married Mary "Polly" Light-- see page 3b-6.b) Thomas4 Pickard, born 1 Mar 1812, married Lucretia Johnson [Jordan]-- see page 3b-7.Ann4 Pickard, born about 1818, married Joseph Johnson 4 Nov 1841 Greene Co IN.He was born about 1821 in IN.19c)d) Jesse4 Pickard, born 27 Nov 1818, married Elizabeth Melinda Crowell-- see page 3b-8.06/05, 03/06PARTLY UNVERIFIED DATA FOR STUDY/REVIEW ONLY, PLEASE SEE {PREFACE} TO THIS DOCUMENT

"All-People" -- Section 3b{Table of Contents}page 3b-8JESSE PICKARD (b 1818) and ELIZABETH MELINDA CROWELL (b 1831)and their descendantsfrom page 3b-4Jesse's parents were Henry Pickard and Nancy PettyMelinda's parents were Charles Crowell and Elizabeth [Crowell]b) Jesse4 Pickard was born 27 Nov (or 27 Apr) 1818 in NC.26 He marriedElizabeth Melinda "Lindy" Crowell about 1848; eight children born Smith Co TN. She wasborn 17 Oct 1831 (or 1830) in NC.45 Her parents were Charles Crowell and Elizabeth [Crowell].Lindy died 26 Dec 1906, age 75. Jesse died 18 Nov (or 8 Nov) 1894 Smith Co TN, age 75. They wereburied Dr Gross’ Cemetery, Possom Valley, Smith Co.27,59We assume Jesse and Lindy were married in Tennessee. We believe he stayed behind when his parents wentto Indiana. It's possible, however, that he had gone with them and then returned to Tennessee to settle permanently.With travel so difficult in those days, however, we think Jesse may simply have decided not to continue on at all.He would have been grown when his parents and all his siblings moved, and in Tennessee there were relatives andformer neighbors to stay with and/or to work for. He didn't marry until he was 30.Jesse and Lindy probably didn’t own the land they farmed. The 1850 census indicates that it was owned byhis uncle, William Petty. In the 1860 census, the land was owned by William’s son, Stephen Petty. We may bemistaken, however, as we haven’t researched land records. See Section 3a for more about the Petty family.Very little about Jesse’s adult life before about 1848 is known to us. All we are sure of is that he and Lindywere in Smith Co, Tennessee, in the summer of 1849 when their first child was born. We can't help wonderinghow different their life might have been if they had gone to Indiana with his parents and siblings; surely it wouldhave been better. They were so poor and isolated, and had so little opportunity, in Smith Co.-- See page 11 for some information about the CROWELL family -THE HOMEPLACE IN 1942 -- Jesse and Lindy lived about as far out in the country as it's possible to get. BFErecalls JWF talking often about what a beautiful spot it was, and how she loved "going to Grandma's house" morethan anything. She always heard of it as being in Buffalo Valley, which is a huge valley of the Caney Fork River,with its many small tributaries, and includes the town of Buffalo Valley. But it turns out the little stream near theold homesite is officially named Opossom Creek so, more specifically, the Pickards lived in Possom Valley, orPossom Hollow, within the greater Buffalo Valley. (Enormous herds of buffalo ranged there long ago.)When she went there in 1942 with her mother and sister, they drove over a dirt road as far as we could, andthen walked. When we got to the top of a hill it began to rain, and a family let us sit on the porch of their smallhouse, and gave us some biscuits with peach preserves. This was delicious, but so sweet it made us very thirstyand they didn't offer us any water. To this day, peach preserves always make me think of that visit. After itstopped raining, we walked the rest of the way.At that time, the house was in terrible shape, with part of the floor falling in. She doesn't remember muchabout it, except that it had a huge fireplace. It was one rather large room, with a leanto kitchen, and was madeof logs (good hardwood ones, which she was told later had been stolen and carried away). Jesse and Lindy's sonJeff (Jefferson Davis Pickard) still lived there, but in such miserable conditions she didn't see how he could. Ofcourse he had kept the house up much better before he became old and feeble.THE SITE IN 1992 -- A real highlight of their visit 50 years later was her cousin John Douglas Wall taking themthere. This meant a great deal to her. They drove all the way to the end of the valley on good gravel roads. The"road" she walked on in 1942 was barely visible (it's on private property and evidently hasn't been used for quitea while). In 1992 the old house was completely gone, but they feel they reached the site. John found the flat placein the rocky creek bottom where Jesse would have driven a team across to the house and barn.Dr Gross’ Cemetery is almost at the lower end of the valley. It’s off the road, under some trees in a fieldoverlooking the Caney Fork River. Before the cemetery was fenced, whoever used the field hadn't cared for itas a cemetery at all, and animals had wandered freely. As a result, many of the stones have been knocked out ofposition, broken, etc. Also, many of the graves evidently never had durable markers, just wooden or weak cementwhich has crumbled away, so there's no way to tell how many people are buried there, or who many of them are.06/05, 03/06PARTLY UNVERIFIED DATA FOR STUDY/REVIEW ONLY, PLEASE SEE {PREFACE} TO THIS DOCUMENT

"All-People" -- Section 3b{Table of Contents}page 3b-9The Pickards placed tombstones on each grave until Jeff died (when no one was left to do so). We foundtombstones for Jesse and Lindy and several of their sons, all in a row. But it just didn't seem right for Jeff to haveno marker so, a few years ago, several cousins got together and placed a stone in memory of him, at the spotwhere we believe he must have been buried.We were struck by the beauty of the site. Sort of a cul-de-sac location, surrounded by trees and rolling hills,it was the epitome of natural serenity, peace and privacy. The only drawback is that now, way down at theapparent end of the valley, you can glimpse trucks on I-40. It's probably fortunate that, from the highway, youcan't really tell where the cemetery is, at least without looking awfully hard. But it's still a truly beautiful place.Some pictures of the cemetery, referred to as the Pickard Cemetery rather than as Dr Gross’ Cemetery, arenow available on the Internet.58 Located at the end of Opossum Valley Lane, off Clubb Springs Road, nearBox 736, it can be found at 36-08-57N, 85-49-65W. Now sometimes called The Pickard Cemetery, it’s not aformal cemetery, just a burying ground used in the past by the neighbors around it. Owned by Dr Gross untila few years ago, the property is now maintained as a game preserve, and the land around it is farmed.FAMILY LIFE -- It really is sad that we have so little to tell about BFE's great-grandparents. They must havebeen interesting people. From the facts that they emigrated from North Carolina to Tennessee, and successfullyraised eight children, one can infer ambition and courage to try new things, plus determination and strength ofcharacter. However, they and most of their children were quite poor and lived in isolation. The Civil War andits aftermath were major factors, contributing to a lack of opportunity, but we sometimes wonder what elsemay have been involved.We are intrigued with the fact that they didn't go on to Indiana with Henry's parents and siblings. We don'tknow why there would be such a complete break; there were absolutely no family stories about the Pickards whowent to Indiana. In the case of the Wall family (Sections 4a and 4b), BFE's mother never mentioned anythingabout her cousins in Carroll Co, but we now know that at least some of her older siblings were aware of them.In the case of the Pickard family, a few of the older relatives might possibly have been able to tell me a littlemore but, alas, BFE didn't know the questions to ask while they were alive.(1) Thomas Fain5 Pickard, usually known as Fain, was born 10 Jun 1849.20 He marriedSerena Martha Carlen 15 Aug 1880; no children. She was born 17 Apr 1852. Her parents wereWilliam Barnard Carlen and Sarah Caroline Holliday. Fain died about 1939, age about 90.Serena's beautiful name was pronounced S'rene and, when BFE was little, she thought it was Screen, like adoor. Several researchers have been interested in Fain's name because they have connections with a Fenn or Fannfamily in Orange and Chatham Counties of North Carolina. So far, however, we haven't found a common link.Fain and Serena were very poor but were wonderful people. BFE has one memory of going to see themwhen about four or five. She recalls their house as being a long way out in the country, but John showed us thesite (with a modern house on it now), within the Cookeville TN city limits, not far from his parents' house.Cousin Donald Pickard Wall said that Serena, in spite of having so little, was a gracious lady. JWF said thatFain and Serena, despite their poverty, had a very happy life together. JWF also said that the Carlen family (activein local society) was very disappointed when Serena married Fain, that he and his family weren't good enough forthem. But, JWF said, Fain was one of the best men she ever knew.Cousin James Thomas Wall told us some little stories about Fain's ideosyncracies. Serena would makecornbread and Fain, disdaining a knife, would tear it apart "because the Lord said to break bread, not cut it."When he was full he had "et sufficient." When asking about dessert, it would be "Is there any hereafter?"James said that Serena's brother "Old Jim" Carlen (probably James Anthony Carlen, born 24 May 1854)owned lots of property and had interests in various local enterprises such as the CocaCola bottling company,First National Bank (now First Tennessee), and the GM dealership. The Carlens' connection with CocaCola mayhave come through J A Carlen's grandmother, Martha Pemberton, who may be related to John Stith Pemberton,inventor of CocaCola. We note that John Stith Pemberton was a descendant of Richard Kennon andElizabeth Worsham, BFE's sixth-great-grandparents, Section 2.Fain and Serena took care of Serena's crippled sister Bett (probably Sarah Elizabeth Carlen, 11 Dec 1857-12 Jan 1924). James said Fain had to lift her and she was not a small woman. Despite their apparent ability todo better, for taking care of Bett the Carlen family only let Fain and Serena live in the house (James called it ahut) rent free.One of JWF's stories was that the one thing she wanted, and had been promised by Serena, was thespinning wheel. Fannie Lou Carlen, daughter-in-law of Old Jim, rushed over and got it as soon as she heardSerena had died.06/05, 12/05, 07/06PARTLY UNVERIFIED DATA FOR STUDY/REVIEW ONLY, PLEASE SEE {PREFACE} TO THIS DOCUMENT
