D/o Jonathan Hathaway. Abagail 1st married Samuel Spooner who died prior to
1793, as that is when she remarried.
At the death Sabra, in Kendall, New York, he remarried Charity Woodbeck.
This family has been in doubt but several records tend to prove the
relationship. A Will of Jacob Briggs states that Andrew was at the time of the Will living in Claremont, N.H. He had 3 children by Sabra, the rest were by his second marriage, Charity Woodbeck.
In 1792 Andrew Pickens, of Claremont, N.H. sold some property located in
Middleboro, Mass.
We do not have the names of the children of Sabra.
This family moved to Michigan and Andrew Pickens is buried in Albion, Mich.
The in-laws include Thayer, Pierce and Hindes. These are common families of the Pickens, and further work needs to be done to see what relationships exist to the earlier families.This family is one of the better documented families. Andrew was born in what was then Montgomery Co. Montgomery Co was comprised of Otsego, Montgomery, Herkimer and Onieda Co.s until about 1796 when the State of New York started dividing it up in smaller counties.
Andrew first married Sabra Murry who was responsible for part of the child-
ren. After Sabra's death Andrew married Charity Woodbeck in Kendall, Montgomery Co.Andrew joined the Civil War where, in a Military Hospital, he died. Charity latered married a Douglas and after his death she moved in to her son William's house, where she lived until her death. Unfortunately this is where the records get very confusing and are in no way complete. If/and I am correct then L P Tanner's listing is actually wrong and Charity is not really THIS Andrew's wife, but actually his son's wife and that the son really died in the Civil War.
