Tricia: I am descended from one of the Pickett families who lived in
Athens County. Rebecca Pickett (1786-1872), daughter of James Pickett,
Sr., married John Connett in Athens Co. I have not been able to piece
together the family of James Pickett, but he might have came from NJ as
did the Connett family. Abraham Connett (1791-1819), brother to John
Connett, married Hannah Pierce (1792-1870). Abraham and Hannah Connett
had three children between 1815 and 1819, but I do not know their names.
After Abraham died, Hannah Pierce Connett married Jesse McKee and had at
least one son, John McKee, who married a Rebecca Pickett. I know nothing
else about this Rebecca, but a few members of the Pickett family are
buried in the Connett Cemetery near Nelsonville. I am looking for any
additional information I can find about these families.
