Notes for Micajah Pickett and Winnifred Beasley

Although there is no known direct evidence that Micajah Pickett was a son of John Pickett and Mary Mess of Caroline County, Virginia, coincidence of time, place, and interactions with other persons suggest that John and Mary were the parents of Micajah. Micajah Pickett was involved in several legal disputes during his lifetime, which help identify his wife Winifred Beasley and which provide some of the evidence suggesting that he was a son of John Pickett. We suspect that Micajah Pickett of Caroline County, Virginia was the same person as Micajah Pickett, who appears in records of old Craven County [Camden District], South Carolina in 1766. Micajah may have owned several tracts of land in Virginia and South Carolina, and perhaps North Carolina, during his lifetime, as did a son and grandson, both also named Micajah Pickett, which creates some ambiguity about which Micajah lived in each of these places. Land, slaves, and tobacco were all important aspects of Micajah Pickett's finances. We have found no records from Micajah's childhood, so his documented place in history starts with several legal cases in Caroline County, Virginia.

Micajah Pickett apparently moved from northern Virginia to Orange County, North Carolina. The notes above are largely from Caroline County and Orange County, Virginia, which are close to each other, although not adjacent, in northern Virginia. The notes below are from Orange County, North Carolina. Orange County, North Carolina is not close to Orange or Caroline Counties, Virginia. However, note that court cases involving Micajah Pickett and wife Winifred were reported in both locations and that there is a clear switch, with no overlap in time, between the locations.

1755 Micajah [Cager] Pickett was taxed in Orange County, North Carolina. [42]

Micajah Pickett apparently moved from Orange County, North Carolina to South Carolina. The notes above are for Orange and Anson Counties, North Carolina. The notes below are from South Carolina.

1766 in June, Micajah Pickett was Justice of the Court in Craven County. South Carolina. Soon after, "Old Craven Co." was discontinued and the area became a part of the new "Camden Dist." [58]

Uncertainty: By 1766, Micajah Pickett had purchased land northwest of Camden, South Carolina (then called Craven County/judicial district) on Dutchman's Creek and Wateree River. Micajah Pickett, by Wateree Creek, was named on several documents through 1774. In 1810, an adjacent tract was sold by Ambrose Mills to Micajah Pickett. In 1768, Micajah Pickett Jr purchased land at Cartledge Creek, a tributary to the Pee Dee River north of Rockingham, North Carolina by Blewett Lake. I assume here, without much evidence, that the original purchase on Wateree River was made by Micajah Pickett, Sr born about 1709, who lived there till at least 1774 and that documents dated after 1810 for Micajah Pickett on Wateree River or in Fairfield County, South Carolina refer to son Micajah Pickett born 1748 or to grandson Micajah Pickett born 1777. [59]

1766 A survey, dated September 28, shows land in Craven County, South Carolina granted to Ambrose Mills bounding on Wateree River, Patrick McCommicks, Frances Laton, Pickett, and Richard Kirkland. [60] See 1810 sale to Micajah Pickett (Jr) by Ambrose Mills.

1766 Michael [perhaps an error for Micajah?] Pickett was granted 200 acres of land on Reedy Branch of the Wateree River in Craven County adjacent to land of Joseph Cates. [61]

1768 Son, Micajah Pickett Jr., married Kizannah Hinson, daughter of Phillip Hinson. Land of Phillip Hinson (see 26 October 1776 and 1784 deeds in Hinson marriage notes) was near land of Micajah Pickett Sr (see 1766 survey of Ambrose Mills in these notes) about this time, so they lived near each other.

1768 A grant was made to William Mitchell for land in Craven County on Taylors Creek branch of the Wateree River adjacent to lands of Micajah Pickett and Francis Laton. [62]

1768 Micajah Pickett continued a suit brought originally by John Pickett against Philip May. This suggests that Micajah was John's son. [63]
