1819 Micajah K Pickett and Cinthy Middleton were married on January 14, in Franklin County, Mississippi. [1]

1820 Micajah Pickett Junior lived in Franklin County, Mississippi (incorrectly indexed as Amite County) in a household with free white males: 1 (16 thru 25); and free white females: 1 (Under 10) and 1 (16 thru 25); and 4 enslaved persons. [2] Brother Thomas K Pickett was listed adjacent.

Research Notes:

The notes above are for Micajah K. Pickett, son of Charles Pickett (son of Thomas Pickett (son of John Pickett and Mary Mess)) and Selah King. We have attempted to identify notes regarding this person. However, there were several men named Micajah Pickett who may have been living in Mississippi and/or Louisiana at the same time. I would appreciate receiving clarification, if you have information.

Micajah Pickett (1777-1847), son of Micajah Pickett and Kizanna Hinson.

Micajah K. Pickett (1812-1898), son of William Pickett (son of Micajah Pickett and Kizanna Hinson) and Mary King.

This Micajah K. Pickett (about 1789- after 1810), son of Charles Pickett (son of Thomas Pickett (son of John Pickett and Mary Mess)) and Selah King.

Micajah Pickett (1765-1833) of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, son of Thomas Pickett (son of John Pickett and Mary Mess)

1828 Micajah K Pickett and Louisa Vardeman were married on December 29, in Adams County, Mississippi. [4]

1816-1820 Micajah Pickett Senior (age 45+), Micajah Pickett Junior (age 26-45), and Micajah K Pickett (age 16-24) were all listed in the 1820 census for Franklin County, Mississippi, (Amite County, according to Ancestry.com). The margin is labeled as Franklin County, so Amite County is an error. 1816 Micajah Jr and Sr were named in an 1816 listing of Franklin County. I suspect that: Micajah Pickett Senior was a son of Thomas Pickett; Micajah K Pickett was a son of Thomas Pickett and Selah King; and that Micajah Pickett Junior (age 26-45) might be the spouse of Rodah King.

There were two, largely duplicative, records made for Micajah (Sr) Pickett:

1820 Micajah Pickett Senior lived in Franklin County, Mississippi in a household with free white males: 4 (under 10), 1 (10 thru 15), 1 (16 thru 18), 1 (16 thru 25), and 1 (45 and over); and free white females: 3 (10 thru 15) and 1 (26 thru 44); and 42 slaves. [5] [6] John K Pickett (26 thru 44), perhaps a son of Charles Pickett, was listed nearby.

1820 Micajah Pickett lived in Franklin County, Mississippi. John K Pickett was listed nearby. [7]

Micajah K and Micajah Jr were listed on the same page as each other:

1820 Micajah K Pickett lived in Franklin County, Mississippi in a household with free white males: 1 (16 thru 25); and free white females: 1 (under 10) and 1 (16 thru 25); and 4 slaves. The adjacent listing was for Thomas K Pickett (perhaps a brother of Micajah K Pickett). [8]
