Indians down. This Andrew was the s. of the elder Andrew and first cousin to the
DAVIS boys. Five of the DAVIS brothers joined his company that time. George,

p. 7-8. "Moses DAVIS. The first mention of him is as a private, unmarried in
the Anson Company of Milita commanded by Capt. Andrew PICKENS in 1755. The
journal kept by William CALHOUN - one of the original four brothers who came
from Augusta Co. to Abbeville county in 1758 - states that when he made his
journey back to Virginia that he spent the night on Dec. 29 with Archibald
CROCKETT, and the night of Dec. 30, with Moses DAVIS, and at 12 Mile Creek on
the 31st.
Miss Eliza CALHOUN who prepared one of the earliest and most comprehensive
accounts of the CALHOUN family stated that Moses DAVIS married Jane NOBLE,
daughter of John NOBLE and Mary CALHOUN. Mary CALHOUN was the sister of the
CALHOUN brothers who came to Long Cane Creek. John NOBLE died in Augusta Co., VA
in what is now Rockbridge County, but his widow and children came on to South
Carolina.
Moses DAVIS received a South Carolina land grant on Long Cane Creek in 1763
and another in 1774. He was living in the Waxhaws when the CALHOUNs fled back
there after the Indian Massacre in 1760, and may have married Jane NOBLE at that
time. It is known that at that same time Andrew PICKENS, the future General, met
and wooed, Rebecca CALHOUN, daughter of Ezekiel CALHOUN, and married her in 1765
in the Long Cane Creek community in SC.
The old Mecklenburg Co. NC deed of 1773 shows that brothers, John DAVIS and
wife Mary and Moses DAVIS and wife Jane, sold 380 acres on Waxhaw Creek to
brother, Capt. Robert DAVIS.

Charleston SC and in a shipwreck lost all their goods; then Geo. McW. Sr.
moved to the Waxhaws and began farming. He lived near Capt. James WALKUP on
Waxhaw creek according to deed records and they exchanged some land. His first
mention of NC was around 1769 when he bought about half of the plantation of
Robert CALDWELL. I think this was the Robt. CALDWELL mentioned as son in law of
the old Robt DAVIS in his will of 1770 in Mecklenburg; and I would not be

His Confederate Pension application #29536 is available. The Widow's
Application by ANNIE ELIZA PICKENS, b. 13 Feb 1859, Mississippi, d. 22 Jun 1950,
Corpus Christi, TX, is also available. It contains the same basic information,
along with a lot of collateral information, and an interesting sequence of
events, following below.
On September 14, 1927, the Comptroller's Department, State of Texas, wrote
Mrs. Annie E. PICKENS asking her to reconsider the statement on her application
for a Widow's Pension [#43393] that her husband had never drawn a pension. Her
answer from Corpus Christi on 3 October 1927 set the records straight:
'In reply to your letter of September 4th, which is enclosed, I wish to state
that there was no mistake made in the answer to question 7. in my application
for Confederate Pension.
'I am the widow of J. A. Pickens of Mullin, Mills County, Texas, but he never
at any time drew a pension. He did write for an application blank, and had it
drawn up and secured the proper witnesses; I suppose this was placed in his file
in your office. However, I am not positive about it. But he did not ever fill
out and send in all necessary papers, and consequently never drew any pension. I
am very positive about that. I know for a definite fact that he never at any
time drew any sort of pension. The mistake is in your records some way, for I
know I am correct in this matter.
I hope it will soon be adjusted and I will receive pension as applied for.
Truly Yours,
Annie E. Pickens'
-----------------------
On 7 October 1927 Annie was given a reply:
"We have your letter of October 3rd. From further investigation, we find that
we were probably in error in the statement made in our letter of September 14th,
that J.A. Pickens of Milam County was a Confederate Pensioner, and drew a
pension under file No. 29536.
As his application was filed in this Office on October 1, 1914 and was
approved December 1, 1914, we simply assumed under those facts that he was a
pensioner. However, this does not make any particular differance [sic] and we
are today approving your application for Pension and your name will be placed on
the rolls under the service record of your husband, J.A. Pickens which is a part
of your application above mentioned."
-----------------------
Annie wrote again on September 12, 1935:
"Am writing in regard to recent pension law passed recently by our Federal
lawmakers at Washington & amendment carried by vote in Texas as to whether those
on Confederate pension roll will be required to make application for pension if
congress enacts law for old age pension in Texas. Will appreciate very much
information in this regard. Please change my address from 1511 Craig Avenue,
Corpus Christi, Tex. to 306 E. Milam St., Mexia, Tex." -----------------------
And the State of Texas responded the same day [the mail and bureaucracy were
faster then, even if they were cheaper]:
"This will acknowledge receipt of your letter of September 12 in regard to you
making application for an old age pension since you are a Confederate pensioner.
Up to the present time the State of Texas has no old age pension law,
therefore I cannot give you any information as to what would be required of
applicants for such a pension.
On August 24, 1935 the citizens of Texas voted to give the Legislature of
Texas the power to pass an old age pension law if they saw fit and also to pass
such laws for raising revenues for the payment of such pension. As to whether
the Legislature will pass any such laws, I am unable to say.
You are further advised that I have not been informed as to what the Federal
Government will do in regard to old age pension matters as I am of the opinion
they will not make any provision for Federal Aid until the State of Texas makes
some provision. The old age pension matter will probably be submitted to the
next session of the Texas Legislature."
-----------------------
On September 26, 1944, J.A.'s daughter, Mrs. L. H. Davis [judging from
handwriting, NOT his daughter Clyde-see below] wrote:
"My mother, Mrs. Annie E. Pickens, receives a Confederate Widow's pension from
your office. She is considering making application for admission to the
Confederate Woman's Home and must have certain information concerning my
father's record in the Confederate Army. Her memory is very poor and I am sure
you had to have this same information before her name was added to the pension
roll. My father was John Andrew Pickens and the following information is needed:
Company---
Regiment---
Brigade---
Time & place of discharge---
If you can supply this information for us, we shall appreciate it very much.
Thanking you, I am
Truly,
Mrs. L.H. Davis"
-------------------------
Texas responded on September 28, 1944.
"I acknowledge receipt of your letter of September 26 requesting certain
information for Mrs. Annie E. Pickens, a Confederate Pensioner who desires to
make application for admission to the Woman's Confederate Home. The records of
this office show J.A. Pickens was a private in Company B, 20th Texas Cavalry,
Confederate States Army. He enlisted in March 1862 and served until the close of
the war in 1865. The application for pension of J.A. Pickens does not give the
names of the officers under whom he served, neither does it give the place of
his discharge. He enlisted in Limestone County, Texas.
The records show that Mrs. Annie E. Pickens receives a Confederate Pension
under Pension File No. 43393, Nueces County.
If Mrs. Pickens desires to make application for admission to the Home she
should write to Mrs. Susan Butler, Superintendent, Woman's Confederate Home,
Austin, Texas. Mrs. Butler will furnish blanks and all information you might
desire in regard to the rules and regulations of the Home. If Mrs. PICKENS
should be admitted to the Home her pension payments will be one-half the amount
she has been receiving out of the Home, which will be $15.00 a month."
--------------------------
On June 27, 1950, Texas received a letter of June 26th from the Attorney for
[and son of] Annie Pickens, J. L. Pickens, of Lometa, Texas:
"This is to advise you of the death of my mother, Mrs. Annie E. Pickens, who
was a Confederate Pensioner, on June 22. If you will advise me the form of
affidavit required to secure the mortuary warrant I will have it made and
immediately mailed to you."
------------------------
On June 22, 1950, Briggs-Gamel Funeral Home of Lampasas, Texas, presented a
statement of funeral expenses for Annie Pickens amounting to $689.00.
"Before me, the undersigned authority, a Notary Public in and for Lampasas
County, Texas on this day personally appeared Porter Briggs, who upon being duly
sworn upon his oath states: That he is one of the partners of the Briggs-Gamel
Funeral Home of Lampasas, Texas; That said funeral home handled the funeral
services of Mrs. Annie E. PICKENS who died in Corpus Christi, Texas June 22,
1950, and that services were held by said funeral home in Mullins, Texas on June
24, 1950 with the interment in the Mullin Cemetery on that date."
-------------------------------------
In his original application, John Andrew Pickens and two witnesses swore that
John had served in Company B, 20th Texas Regiment, as a private, serving for
about three years in Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas. He was captured during the
Battle of Shiloh, near Fort Smith, Arkansas, and imprisoned at Fort Delaware
until the end of the war.
--------------------------
John's and Annie's daughter, Clyde, corresponded with the Comptroller on October
10, 1956.
"Mrs. BURNETT suggested that I write you for information concerning my
father's service in the Confederate Army making me eligible for the U.D.C.
He served in the Confederate Army under name of John Andrew PICKENS, real name,
of course, in a Texas Division which I do not know. He was captured in Battle of
Shiloh near present city of Ft. Smith Ark., and served 22 months in Ft. Delaware
as a prisoner of war. He passed away June 1921 or 1923.
He had his "papers fixed up" and my mother Annie Eliza PICKENS, drew his
compensation from late 20's or early 30's until her death in June 1951--or 1952.
Her pensions went to her at 453 McLeod Drive, Corpus Christi, Texas for a few
years and were reaching her at that address when she passed away. The last one
came after her passing and it was returned to your office. I am sending Mrs.
Purnell's letter to you. Please send this information soon as I'd like to join
U.D.C. in Dec. Thank you.
Cordially, Miss Clyde Pickens
--------------------------
The Texas Comptroller answered Clyde's letter the following day:
"The records of this office show J.A. PICKENS filed application for a
Confederate Pension in the State of Texas October 3, 1914, at which time he was
a resident of Mullin, Mills County, Texas. Mr. PICKENS stated he was 68 years
old at the time of executing the application in 1914, and that he was born in
the State of Kentucky. He had resided in Texas since 1852. He enlisted in March,
1862 in Company B, 20th Texas Cavalry, Confederate States Army and served until
the close of the war in 1865. A private. The application for pension of Mr.
PICKENS was approved under Pension File No. 29536 on the affidavits of Jack
RASCO of Limestone County, Texas and Solon RASCO of Groesbeck, Limestone County,
Texas. These witnesses made affidavit that they served in the same organization
with Mr. J.A. PICKENSs. His death occurred June 23, 1921 in Mills County. He
drew a pension until his death.
The records also show Mrs. Annie E. PICKENS, widow of J.A. PICKENS, filed
application for pension on September 3, 1927. She stated she was born Feb.
13, 1859 in the state of Mississippi, but had resided in Texas 58 years.
Exact place in Mississippi is not given. She was married to J.A. PICKENS Feb.
15, 1877 in Limestone County, Texas. Her application was approved under File No.
43393 and she drew a pension until her death in June, 1950."
-------------------------------
Clyde answered the Comptroller on October 12, 1956:
"Your letter of Oct. 11, '56 giving official record of my fathers, J.A.
PICKENS, record service in Confederate Army has been received. There is one
error. He had his papers fixed up for pension but HE NEVER DREW IT. My mother
began drawing it in 1927. So if checks were issued & cashed it was some one
else. Please correct.
Miss Clyde Pickens"
