Research Notes:
Other researchers report that Cassandra Pickett married Lazarus Pickett. We seek documentation for this marriage, which would have occurred when Cassandra was about age 14. Other researchers report that Lazarus was a son of Thomas C. Pickett (1795-1870, died in Barbour, Alabama) and Mary Polly Oxford and that he was a grandson of Thomas Pickett (died on 30 NOV 1844 in West Feliciana, Louisiana). [65] We seek documentation for this relationship.
