E-Mail from Bill Coup to Mitch Fincher, forwarded to Terry McLean, Feb 1997:
I am looking for any descendants of Thomas Pickens and Sarah Brown. Thomas
lived in Montgomery County and Tazewell County, Virginia. His parents were
William and Ann Pickens. Thomas appeared on the New River in Virginia about
1773. He was in Montgomery County until about 1794 and he shows up in Tazewell
County from 1795 through about 1807. I've been told that he may have gone to
Tennessee but that's conjecture as far as I know. Thomas and Sarah had these
children: A.B. Pickens, Phillip Pickens, James Pickens, Elizabeth Pickens.
A.B. may have died in Missouri.REF Enc #316 for a Thomas Pickens [bond, 1784, Camden Dist., SC]

Pension Deposition - Livingston Co., KY: "William G. PICKENS gave a deposition 9
Aug 1832 in Livingston Co., (Court Order Book 1830-36, pg 72). He was born 18
Oct 1760 Camden Dist., SC but was raised principally in Abbeville Co., SC
formerly 96 Dist. He joined the service as a volunteer about 2nd day of Jul
1776. He was under the command of Capt. Robt. ANDERSON and remained in this
service better than a yr. While in this service was engaged in repelling the
incursions of the Indians into the area. He also guarded Fort Independence under
the command of his brother, John PICKENS.
After this he was engaged in waggoning from Charleston to White Hall until
sometime in 1780. Later was called to be a spy, but was reluctant to do so as he
had the support for a widowed sister, whose husband, Joseph PICKENS, was killed
at 96. Also had the support of his mother. He is confident he served as much as
2 yrs. He is now almost blind. Came to this country (KY) in June 1805. Patrick
CAIN, who is old and decrepid is the only one who might verify his service; also
John DRENNAN, who lives in Caldwell Co., KY. PICKENS has a record book showing
his birth; he brought it to this country." (I believe his pension # is 1244. The

in Abbeville Dist SC and in 1803 moved to Livingston Co., KY where he obtained a
pension in 1833. In this pension application he told much family news, and aided
in establishing our own PICKENS lineage with certainty. We are indebted to him
for giving so much family data. He told that Capt. Joseph PICKENS who was killed
at Ft. Ninety-Six in 1781 was his brother-in-law. Also told of being in service
under his brother Capt. John PICKENS at Ft. Independence. He left descendants,

"The Family of Immigrants Samuel and Nancy Alexander Wauchope
Samuel Wauchope was most likely born in about 1692 or 1698 and was probably
from Strabane, Ulster (south of Londonderry). As tradition holds, three
Wauchope brothers from Scotland who served in Cromwell's army settled in the
area in the mid 1600's. Samuel would most likely have been one of their
grandsons then. Another tradition holds he was born in Scotland. Either way,
he may well be a descendant of the Clan Wauchope of Annandale, or the Wauchopes
of Niddrie. He is said to be buried near Lexington, Virginia, having died at
about age 90. He had supposedly moved near his youngest son Arthur. His wife,
Nancy Agnes Alexander, was said to be of French Huguenot stock and born in about
1702. She either was from Carrick-Fergus and/or they left from there in 1724 or
1727... their purported (i.e., not proven) children: [names Joseph,
Margaret/Mary, James Alexander, Arthur **, Elizabeth, Florence]..."
** "...Arthur, the last son, was born in about 1734 or thereafter. He died in
1834. He first Married Elizabeth Lockbridge. He then married Esther Mackey on
August 8, 1797, who was born in about 1776. He had children with both spouses.
Arthur settled near Lexington, Virginia. His property was where the legendary
Virginia Military Institute now stands. [Note: As witnessed by his year of
death, it is highly unlikely that Arthur was actually a son of Samuel and Nancy

"...Geo. McWHORTER, Sr. 1730's-1805 met and married Eliz. WALKUP, sister of
James WALKUP of the Waxhaws who m. Margaret PICKENS....
It is my idea the WALKUPS lived in old Augusta Co., VA, when they first moved
south.. At least we find some of them there in the records...
MORTON'S HISTORY OF ROCKBRIDE COUNTY VIRGINIA (formed from Augusta around
1777) says, "Five WALKUPS; James, Joseph, Margaret, and the wf of John GRAHAM
Jr., were brothers and sisters and came to Little River (Calfpasture section
apparently) around 1748. Capt. James WALKUP moved to the Waxhaws in SC about
1755. You see there is no mention of the MCWHORTERs here, and scarely anything
more is told of the WALKUP family... he [James] m. Israel PICKENS daughter
Margaret, who was baptised in Augusta Co., by Rev. John CRAIG, 18 Dec 1740
(Tinkling Spring History)...
I have found also in chester Co., PA tax records at the Historical Society
there, the tax listing of Samuel WALKUP, around 1730's said to be the pioneer,
with his wf Nancy ALEXANDER. The MCWHORTERs then lived nearby and Geo. McW. Sr.
is said by descendants to have had a son named Samuel Walkup MCWHORTER, killed
in the Rev.
I am somewhat doubtful of the story of the Irish immigration of this Samuel
WALKUP, since the WALKUP family was found much earlier on the 1660's on the
Eastern Shore of Maryland, and many Marylanders moved up the Susquehanna into
PA. Thre is an old outer bank WAHAB family (near Cape Hatteras, NC) and
genealogists say it was an offshoot also the old Maryland WALKUPs. I have never
been able to find the estate records of the old Samuel WALKUP. With so many
children in Augusta Co., one would think he moved there. Dau. Margaret in some
accounts is said to have m. Wm. HAMILTON, and the son Joseph is said to have
gone to KY around 1790. You will find plenty of references to Joseph WALKUP in
Chalkley's Annals of Augusta. One account says that Samuel's son John lived in
Franville [Granville?] Co., NC. I have tried but found no proof of this.
There were some HUEY's and connections in Abbeville District SC. In Young's
abstracts, is the will of James HUEY in 1845. He refers to "Brother Robert's
children in Chambers Co., Ala.," and to "sister Jane B. WALKUP's children in
Union Co., NC." He also bequeathed to his own children and Martha P. HUEY...
Like Mr. MCWHORTER, I doubt the tradition that Samuel WALKUP (that is your
Samuel WALKUP 1758 - 1851) was born in Ireland. The tradition, I think, would
apply to Capt. James. The generations are mixed up. It could refer to the
elder (Pennsylvania) Samuel, but is also a fact that the WAHABs (WALKUPs) were
an old, old family on the Eastern Shore of Maryland then in the 1600s.
The ALEXANDER family of Mecklenberg Co., NC have traced themselves very
thoroughly, and they go back to Somerset Co., MD, which is on the little
peninsula of the Eastern Shore that extends down into VA which is across the bay
from the mainland. The history of this area show it was settled by a lot of
Scotch-Irish quite early and came about as follows: Soon after Jamestown was
founded and the Established Church was the legal one, some Puritans from
Massachusetts came and settled in VA. They got rather cold treatment and so
crossed the bay and lodged on the Eastern Shore and many Scotch-Irish settled
there in the years following. When the lands at the "head of the bay" in MD was
opened for settlement around 1700 (Cecil Co. MD) these ALEXANDERS, MCKNIGHTS,
and other families on the Eastern Shore of VA., & MD migrated north and settled
there. This tract of land, a huge one, was called New Munster, and it was a
block of territory including NE MD & SE PA., including Chester Co.
Later the ALEXANDERs, POLKS, KNOX, MCKNIGHTs and other families that you can
find on the Eastern Shore, who went to Cecil Co., MD turned south to Mecklenberg
Co., NC.
When you are familiar with the patterns and trails of migration in those
years, it becomes quite easy to understand how people of apparently widely
separated areas followed each other. Hence the WALKUPs seem to have followed
the same general pattern. Now -- I would not be dogmatic and say that Samuel
WALKUP was not born in Ireland, he may have been. If so, he had kin folks
already in America on the Eastern Shore, and as we know from the PICKENS and
other families, they kep migrating for generations, each generation sending over
successive waves of cousins.
It could well be that Samuel WALKUP Sr., came to America with his parents when
he was but a baby and that would certainly put you way back in the 1600s. Then
he seems to have grown up and m. Nancy ALEXANDER (the ALEXANDERs again). And he
raised a family to be about grown before they ever got off down into Virginia,
and may be accounted for in Augusta Co., and Capt. James even following Israel
PICKENS over to Cub Creek [now Charlotte Co., SC] because he loved the daughter
Margaret...."

valuable farm at Tamassee where he died in Oconee County. He served as Capt.,
Major, and Col. of SC Militia and as Brig. Gen. of the SC State Troops

p. 94-95. "Gen. Andrew PICKENS - Hon. F. W. PICKENS writes to Chas. H. ALLEN,
Abbeville, SC.)
Edgewood, 26th March 1848. Dear Sir: - On my return I found yours inquiring
when the Block House near Abbeville, was built - and by whom? And you also
inquire when my grandfather left Abbeville District, and how long he resided in
it?
"Gen. PICKENS built the Block House himself, about the year 1768. In 1761 the
settlement on Long Cane was nearly exterminated by the terrible massacre of the
Indians, and you will find the old tombstone near Long Cane Bridge, on the road
leading from CALHOUN's Mills and the old Hopewell Church to (sic) Hacolalor (?).
Upon that you will see many of the names of those who were murdered, rudely
inscribed. That old place that used to belong to Wm.
CALHOUN, South of Dr. REED's (but formerly Col. NORRIS, my uncle) was amongst
the first, if not the very first settlement made in Abbeville District; and next
to it was Patrick CALHOUN's old place, where nearly all the CALHOUNs were born.
After that massacre in 1761, Ezekiel CALHOUN fled to the Waxhaws, the nearest
white settlement, for protection.
My grandfather lived there, and then got acquainted with my grandmother, who
was the daughter of Ezekiel CALHOUN, and came back to the CALHOUN's settlement
with them, and married there. He then settled there in 1764, but in 1765 he
moved to and settled at the place where the Block House is standing near
Abbeville C. H. He built the Block House about 1768 - perhaps 1767 - and made
it a resort for the neighbors to fly to in order to protect themselves from the
Indians, he always taking command. He owned all the lands about the place where
the present village stands, and I think sold to Maj. HAMILTON, who was also a
gallant soldier of the Revolution...
My notes indicate that he left Abbeville in the year 1787 - if so he resided
in Abbeville from the first of 1764 to 1787, or 23 years.
In 1782 he raised and commanded 500 men, and made for them short cutlasses
from the common blacksmith's shops of the country, and overrun and conquered the
Cherokee nation in six weeks..... He formed with them the Treat of Hopewell,
1785, November...
The State gave him the place where the treaty was held (I believe), and in
1787 he settled there on the banks of the Seneca River, about three miles from
old Pendleton C. H. After he removed to Pendleton, he and Col. CLEVELAND, of
Greenville, constitued a court, and tried all cases, and executed their own laws
for all that country for several years...
The other parts he performed in the battles of Kettle Creek, Stono, Cowpens,
Augusta, Ninety-Six and Eutaws, etc, etc, you know as they are recorded
generally in history...."

Col. Andrew PICKENS, the emigrant...
At the age of twenty-one years [by this time living in the Waxhaw settlement]
he joined in an expedition to put down an Indian uprising and was made Captain.
He soon became a leader among the settlers...
In 1760, when the Long Cane Massacre occured [SC]... Ezekiel CALHOUN escaped
to the Waxhaw settlement with his young daughter, Rebecca, aged fifteen years.
Soon she and Andrew became friends, then in 1763 the CALHOUNs returned to Long
Cane after the Indians had been driven back to their own territory.
Not long after this, Captain Andrew secured 260 acres at Long Cane, and his
uncle Robert did likewise and the two took up residence there. Again Andrew and
Rebecca were near each other and on March 19, 1765 they were united in
marriage...the wedding celebration was long talked of as the most important
social event of that decade...[12 children here named]... General Andrew PICKENS
died August 11, 1817. Rebecca Floride CALHOUN PICKENS died December 19, 1814.
General Andrew PICKENS and his wife were buried at the Old Stone Church
Cemetery, between Clemson College and Pendleton, South Carolina."THE HISTORY OF EDGEFIELD COUNTY [SC?], by J. A. Chapman: [as quoted in Day's book, p. 31]"
"General Andrew fought at Augusta and received the surrender of that place; he fought at Ninety-Six and was often before the celebrated Star Rebout. A brother of his was killed there. Another brother was taken prisoner and delivered to the Tories. But indeed, all the garrison were Tories, and they took him to Georgia and gave him to the Indians, who burned him to death on a pile of 'lightwood'."
General PICKENS had chief command and gained a glorious victory over Colonel BOYD at Kettle Creek. He had a command at COWPENS and gave General MORGAN great assistance in gaining that victory, he fought Colonel PYLE on Ham River and destroyed his command of 300 men. He was shot from his horse by a ball at the battle of Eutaw and was picked up as dead, but he recovered.These and other services to the state and country mark him as one of the most active, energetic, and useful men of his time. He sat in the first County Court ever held at the old Block House in Abbeville County."

HOPEWELL. Revolutionary war hero General Andrew PICKENS bought land in 1784 on the Keowee River, later called the Seneca River and now a part of Lake Hartwell.
In 1785 he constructed a log lodge, later weather-boarded over, and this is the house which stands today. In the winter of 1784-85, PICKENS' home, called HOPEWELL, was the site of the first treaties with the Southern Indian tribes. A site across the highway today marks the location of the 'Treaty Oak' where papers were signed with the Cherokee, Choctaw, and Chickasaw tribes.Andrew PICKENS, Jr and Francis Wilkinson PICKENS - the general's son and grandson - were born at Hopewell and both became governors of South Carolina. Another son, Ezekiel, became a lieutenant governor of the state.
Hopewell became the home of Andrew PICKENS Jr. when the General and his wife Rebecca moved to Tamassee. Both died there, but the remains were brought to the Old Stone Church near Hopewell.
By 1835, after Andrew Jr. had moved to Alabama and the house changed hands, Hopewell came to be known as the Cherry place...
The home is now on Clemson University property and is a private dwelling..." OLD STONE CHURCH. The Stone Meeting house, known today as Old Stone Church, was constructed in 1787-1802 to replace the log Hopewell-on-the-Keowee Presbyterian Church which had burned after being founded by General Andrew PICKENS.It was built on land given by Printer John MILLER...
Notables buried in the cemetery include General Andrew PICKENS, members of his family; General Robert ANDERSON; and Major Thoms DICKSON, who with PICKENS and ANDERSON was one of the first elders..."PICKENS FAMILIES OF THE SOUTH, by E. M. Sharp (priv. pub. 1963). p. 36. "...So much has been written and is available about the life and services of General Andrew PICKENS that it will be merely mentioned here. ...
The family of General Andrew PICKENS was the first PICKENS family to be traced. Many people have tried to prove themselves descendants with no success. All kinds of family traditions have been handed down about kinshiip to General Andrew PICKENS. Many of them have found their way into print and may are false. However it will be noted that most of the Revolutionary War PICKENS were first cousins of the General, and several so state in their pension applications, notably, Andrew PICKENS of Fayette Co., Tenn, William Gabriel PICKENS of Livingston Co., KY, and others..."
