CONFLICT: author gives the following information: "Israel PICKENS [son of Robert Pike and Miriam (Davis) Pickens] was probably born in Maryland, married a Miss Bole or Boyd and settled in Abbeville Dist., SC, and then went to Rocky River in Anderson County. He died in 1829 and his children are listed as John, William, Israel, Dilly, Rebecca, Ellender, Mary, Elizabeth, Melinda, Sally and Ezekiel Andrew Pickens." It appears from other records that Israel quoted above as son of Robert P. Pickens should actually be listed as son of John and Elenor -tmc].

LETTER from E. M. Sharp to Fannie Inglis of Jacksonville FL, dated 13 Oct 1953:
"...I feel that John PICKENS has been neglected by his descendants...
John PICKENS was quite a business man if [sic] seems and did a pretty big
volume of trade, and dealt with cattle, shipping them to Pennsylvania. I think further research in the S.C. records would reveal more of him.
His son Israel... lived and died in Anderson Co., SC, and many descendants
came from him. His son Robert PICKENS... finally came to Fayette Co., Tenn...
John had a son named William born about 1742 who went to Kentucky.....
Then there was the son William Gabriel PICKENS who also moved to Livingston
Co., KY..."

COUSIN MONROE'S HISTORY OF THE PICKENS FAMILY, compiled by Monroe Pickens,
Revised and Published by Kate Pickens Day:
p. 83-94. Israel PICKENS, son of Robert Pike PICKENS was born, we believe in Frederick County, Maryland. From the best evidence obtainable, he married a Miss BOLE or BOYD, and settled in Abbeville District, South Carolina. Later he moved up on Rocky River, in Anderson County. When the census of 1790 was taken, he had in his family, two males over sixteen years of age, including himself, three under sixteen, and eight females, which gave him the largest PICKENS family on record at that time. The census reports show that he had seven slaves. The date of his birth has not been located and it is not known whether he was among the older or younger of his father's family of children.
The will of Israel PICKENS was made January 5th, 1829, and James COSPER was qualified as executor of this will on March 2nd same year, which makes it
evident that he died early in the year of 1829. The following is a copy of his will:
"WILL OF ISRAEL PICKENS, 5 Jan 1829
State of South Carolina
Anderson District
In the Name of God, Amen!
I Israel PICKENS of the State and District aforesaid, being of sound and
disposing mind and memory, but weak in body, and calling to mind the uncertainty of life, and being desirous to dispose of all such worldly estate as it has pleased God to bless me with, I do make this my last will and testament, in the manner and form as it is underwritten.
I relinquish a deed of gift given my oldest children, I give and entail to my daughter Elizabeth STEWARD, a negro girl named Winna and all her increase, if Elizabeth STEWARD never has any children, then at her death, this negro Winna, and her increase to be sold and equally divided among my children; Likewise I bequeath to my daughter Metilda, and to my daughter Sally Williams, one negro girl named Rachel and her increase. My two daughters to have this negro girl Rachel year about, and if this negro Rachel, have children, they to have child about; likewise I give to my two daughters Sally Williams and to Metilda, fifty dollars and above this negro; likewise I do give to my son and daughter Ezekiel Andrew and Sally Williams fifty dollars for the use of schooling, Sally Williams to be sent until she can read well, then the balance of the fifty dollars to teach him as far as it will go; then my children to help him on as much as they are able. I do bequeath to my grandchildren, the off spring of Dilly and Rebecca, the tract of land where I formerly lived on Rocky River.
All the balance of my estate to be sold and my just debts paid and funeral expenses; the fifty dollars taken therefrom for the use of schooling Sally and Andrew; the balance of the money risen therefrom to be equally divided among my dear wife and children; and those of my children that have received money of my estate to be made equal with those that have received a part. My son John has received a negro man to the value of six hundred dollars, one tract of land to the amount of two hundred dollars, one grey mare to the value of sixty dollars.
Wiliam received one tract of land to the amount of two hundred and fifty
dollars, one bay horse to the value of thirty-five dollars, two cows and calves at thirty dollars. Israel received one bay horse eighty dollars, one black horse value thirty-five dollars, one gray mare value thirty dollars, one cow and calf fifteen dollars. Now what my daughters have received, Ellender has received one bed and furniture value thirty dollars, three cows and calves forty five dollars. Mary received one bed and furniture twenty dollars, two cows and calves thirty dollars. Matilda received one bed and furniture fifteen dollars. My dear wife to have a childs part during her widowhood; if she marries, then her part to fall back and be equally divided among my children. And I do hereby constitute and apoint James COSPER and David BOID executors of this will and testament and for my executors to execute the above desires. Revoking all wills and deeds of gifts by me given, I acknowledge this to be my only last will and testament, as witness my hand and seal this fifth day of January, 1829.
