married again to John FALL and lived in Lincoln Co.
NC. Martha PICKENS lived in Cabarrus County, NC when she married FALL. Mary
CLARK CORRIGAN, granndaughter of Martha PICKENS made a statement in the
settlement papers of her father, James CLARK, that she inherited from her
grandmother Martha FALLS. John and Martha FALLS sold 200 acres of land Oct. 10

CARRIGAN, a newphew of Jane CARRIGAN, wife of Samuel PICKENS, Sr. He may have
been the Rev. John CARRIGAN who served Presbyterian Churches in Rowan and
Cabarrus Co. In the final settlement of the estate of James CLARK, Martha signed
a statement that she had inherited from her grandmother Martha MCFALLS [FALLS].

Dear Terry, I got your GEDCOM file for Lucy Pickens today. Thanks.
You show John Falls wife as Martha Pickens. The only wife I have seen for John
Falls was Martha Clark, the widow of John Clark. On 10 Aug 1761, a contract was
made between John Falls of Rowan County and Martha Clark of Anson County
allowing her to keep the third part of the estate of her deceased husband, John
Clark.
Was this Martha Clark a Pickens? Or was John Falls previously married to a
Martha Pickens? It appears there had to be an earlier marriage since son
Gilbreath was born in 1730 (in Chester County, PA?). Where does this Martha
Pickens fit into the Pickens genealogy?

Dear Terry...Since my last request to you, I looked up your web site at our local library and saw that the Martha PICKENS who married John FALLS was the widow of Israel PICKENS. I think John FALLS must have had a still earlier wife since children were being born in the 1730s.
If you are interested in the FALLS line, there were several recent articles in the Rowan County, NC Register. Some of the information appears to be wrong, but I will be glad to S-mail them if you would like them. (Both my wife and myself descend from John FALLS.)... Regards, Ray"To: tmclean@earthlink.net From: alby6@juno.com (Ray Yount) Date: Fri, 16 O t 1998
"Dear Terry, Thanks for the additional Falls info. Could it be? Martha
Pickens, widow of Israel, marries (2) John Clark about 1761 (date of prenuptial agreement between Martha Clark and John Falls).
Martha Pickens Falls Clark marries (3) John Falls.
It is interesting that there was a marriage between Israel and Martha Pickens' daughter Hannah and James Clark. Was James related to the above John Clark, perhaps a son, and his (James) daughter, Mary (Martha?) then marries her step brother??
The Lincoln County land records about John Falls on Cathey's Creek refer to
the current Rutherford County, NC area, which was cut off from LIncoln. (It
gets confusing because there is also a Cathey's Creek in Mecklenburg near where the Falls lived.) It is not clear if he ever lived there. His estate was settled in Mecklenburg County.
I will mail you copies of the Falls articles as soon as I get copies made.

"Dear Terry, I got the microfilm of the Pickens Family of the South book
today. In my previous message to you, I had speculated that the John Clark who was the husband of the Martha Clark that married John Falls (1761 prenuptional agreement between Martha Clark and John Falls) might be the father of the James Clark who married Hannah Pickens However, the Pickens book states that the father of this James was William Clark. Perhaps John and William were relatives, though... Best Regards, Ray"
