Kate Pickens Day, COUSIN MONROE'S HISTORY OF THE PICKENS FAMILY
p. 121. JAMES TARPLEY PICKENS, son of Rev. Andrew and Catherine Weaver
Pickens, was born August 17, 1816, in Anderson County, S. C. and died December
29, 1885 at Swannanoa, N. C.
He was named for a Presiding Elder of the Methodist church who was a special
friend of Rev. Andrew Pickens, his father. James Tarpley grew to manhood in the
North Carolina mountains and his life work was performed there. He was a useful
and infiuential member of the community in which he lived.
When Buncombe County was being settled, two families arrived at about the same
time and took up their homes in the Swannanoa valley on adjoining farms. The
name of one was Patton, the name of the other Patten; one came from Scotland,
the other from Ireland. The eldest son of Patton married the eldest daughter of
Patten. They reared a large family of sturdy sons and daughters.
Matilda Caroline Patton, the fourth daughter, born Feb. 18, 1821 became the
wife of James Tarpley Pickens on Jan. 20, 1842. She was the typical offshoot of
her Scotch-Irish ancestry and bequeathed to her descendants a rich vein of
Scottish thrift mingled with Irish humor.
For a number of years after their marriage they lived on Reem's Creek but
established their permanent home on the Swannanoa River, nine miles east of
Asheville, N. C."Posted on GenForum by: carolee, cccccc524@aol.com, August 17, 1998
