Thanks for the info Homer. I have seen info on Andrew Pickett, actually its his obit, on one of the forums. I am trying to tie his father, Frederick, to my 4xgreatgrandmother, Sarah Pickett, who married Hezekiah Grant in Duplin Co., NC. Frederick was born c. 1788 and Sarah was born c. 1793 in Duplin Co. But I have no indication that they were brother and sister. Maybe counsins.

Frederick was a large landowner in Bullock Co., beginning in 1834. I have also been told that he owned a cotton gin in Bullock County.

Wilson Grant, Hezekiah's oldest son, and William Pickett, Frederick's son, came to Bullock/Pike in 1836 and both purchased land through FBLM.

The Augustus I am inquiring about who served in the 37th Ala. Infantry is Wilson's oldest son.

Again, any help is appreciated.
