Survey of James Pickett tract, showing the wagon road from Micajah Pickett's tract to North Carolina, perhaps the road that Isaiah Pickett used to elope with Nancy Cochran
These research notes refer to James Pickett, son of Micajah Pickett and Kisanna Hinson. However, there may have been several men with this name whose notes might be conflated, below.

Notes for land surveys in Union County [east of Greenville, now North Carolina] are also included.

The notes below also follow people (Austin Peay and Philemon Starke) named in a slave ownership case of 1829 in Fairfield County, South Carolina, because the case involves both James B Pickett (James Boulware/Beasley Pickett?) and Elijah Hinson (relative of Kizannah Hinson, wife of Micajah?). See also the will of Robert Hinson, [74] whose 1820 will names Austin F Peay and Elijah Henson. [Photocopy] Map: Locations of Pickett deeds in Greenville (A) and Fairfield (B) Districts, South Carolina.

1829 Elijah Hinson and wife Jane Caroline Starke (just married), daughter of Philemon Starke, versus James B Pickett contested the ownership of several slaves. The slaves were bequeathed by James Perry to Philemon Starke and wife Margaret (Peggy), daughter of James Perry, who had children Baldy Starke and Jane Caroline (later married to Elijah Hinson). Philemon died and Margaret inherited the slaves. Margaret's slaves were seized in 1823 due to a debt to Austin F Peay and sold to Colonel Peay. On 1824, Mr Peay sold the slaves to Baldy Starke. In 1824, Baldy Starke sold the slaves to James B Pickett, although Baldy continued to rent the slaves from James B Pickett. Baldy died in 1829 without having paid for the slaves and John J Myers administered Baldy's estate. In January 1829, Jane Caroline married Elijah Hinson, who later administered the estate of Philemon Starke. James B Pickett had a bill of sale for the slaves in 1829 and sold them to James A Knighton, who carried them out of state, although the sale was deemed to be a pretence to avoid the claims of Hinson.
