1790 in Pendleton Dist. SC. She was widow of Elias DEJERNETTE of Halifax Co., VA whose will s hows that he died in 1783, leaving her with daughters: Frances, Hannah, Elizabeth, and Nancy, and one son, Reuben (not of age). Witnesses of the will: Nathanial HALL, John HALL, Wiley HALL. The widow DEJERNETTE moved with her brothers Fenton HALL, Sr., John HALL and Nathaniel HALL to Pendleton Dist. SC where she met and married Israel PICKENS in1 1790. The census of Pendleton Dist. for 1790 shows Israel PICKENS with the largest number in family of any PICKENS family. It can now be explained that they were his children and step-children. Both Frances and Hannah DEJERNETTE married Beaty TUCKER, Elizabeth married Jean MAULDIN, and Reuben married Ellender PICKENS. In an old lawsuit involving the HALLS and DEJERNETTEs, Joab MAULDIN testified that Mrs. Sarah DEJERNETTE told him on Mar 10, 1790 that she was going to marry Israel PICKENS the next day.
Israel and Sarah DEJERNETTE PICKENS had two daughters. Sarah died about 1809."
