EVEN Civil War
The birthdates for this family do NOT agree with the dates published by Nellie Pickens Anderson in her book THE JOHN PICKENS FAMILY. The dates that are listed for this family were taken from the census material for Tennessee in 1860. Mrs. Anderson had Nancy's birthday as 1852. This date does not correspond with the census material. I believe that the date or 2 AUG 1852 is really the birthdate of Alexander and not Nancy's. jcp1996 pg168 et al "There is a record aat the Blount County Court House in the Register's office as quote, 'Benjamin J. Pickens, Alexander Pickens, Nancy J. Householder, James H. Pickens, M.J. Householder and Samuel Pickens of Knox County, Tennessee executor and lawful attorney for us for the estate of Mary Pickens.' The date was Feb. 12, 1883." " The property was sold at auction June 28, 1887. The purchaser was R.A. Sharp, a neighbor. The price was 1760. There were 160 acres (more or less) and the farm is mentioned as the Frank Lanter farm. He was probably the earliest or a very early owner of the farm."

pg 167-168, THE JOHN PICKENS FAMILY, by Nellie Pickens Anderson, pb 1950, ed. Elizabeth Shue, 1985: "William Pickens married Mary (Polly) Tipton about 1850. She was born about 1833 {b. 1829}, died Dec. 17, 1881, at her home in the 11th District of Blount County and is buried at Mount Olive Church Yard in Knox County. She was the daughter of Benjamin and Nancy Brooks Tipton who lived in Sevier County, about two miles from Trundles Cross Rodads or about two miles from Whalen's mill and near Post Oak Church, and back toward the mountains from Knob Creek, where they owned much land." "This information was give to me by Benton Pickens, son of William, in an interview not long before his death." " Aunt Polly Tipton Pickens was left, as many others, with a heavy load tocarry at the close of the Civil War. There were six children betwween the ages of six and fifteen years. The exact date as to when the family came to Blount County to live is unknown. Cousin Benton told me they were raised in the 11the district home that was theirs in later years, but I am certain which much search and study that the children got their start in Sevier County. Several tax receipts show payment sof taxes in the 11th district of Blount County between the years of 1870-1880. I don't know the date of the first purchase of property here by the first tax receipt on hand was for the year 1870. Samll notes are found for the years 1876-1787. One of them was a mechanics lien of twenty-four dollars for work to be done on the homestead, and was dated July 12, 1876. nancy Tipton, J.C. Ellis and Samuel Cusick were names to whom other notes for very small amounts were made." " In those days, friends and relaives were the bankers. A man's word was his bond and reputable persons borrowewd at will as was necessary. The small amounts of money needed then in comparison with the demands of ouir deflated dollar is of startling interest. A receipt was given to Mary Pickens from Dr. R.W. Goddard for six dollars and was dated Jan. 17, 1863. This, of course, was during the Civil War period. Another Receipt was given to Mrs. Mary Pickens from Rockford Mfg. Co. Jan. 29, 1874." "Mrs. Haynes, an old resident here and sister of Mrs. James Pickens, deceased, of Oregon, said she was sure William Pickens didn ot live in Blount County. She said Mrs. Pickens and family first lived in a big log house and that she is sure they built the large frame house nearby and which is still standing. It is of the ell type and is of firm construction. The place is on Roddy's Branch, near Rockford, Tenn." " I found a record of purchase on Sept. 1, 1879 of at least a large part of the Mary Tipton Pickens place. Aunt Polly bought it from H.M. Wilson(administrator of the estate of R.I. Wilson, deceased) of Knox County, Tennessee. Fifteen hundred dollars cash was paid for it and it was bounded in part by Andrew Porter and ADdison Hall." " On this farm Mary Pickens completed the rearing of her children and at this home in which she had lived for several years, she died. Notmuch is known of her life except that she had to be courageous, frugal, enterprising and a good manager to come through the difficulties of rearing her family. The home was a Christian one and the memebers of the family were Baptist."
