Their two sons were John W. PICKETT and Beal PICKETT. There could possibly be a PICKETT-BEAL marriage somewhere, as BEAL/BEALL/BEALE is a well-known surname. Beal's marriage license stated he was born in Kenton Co, KY. Hezekiah & Mary moved to Randolph Co, IL, where both sons and a daughter were married. No death or burial records can be found in randolph Co, IL for Hezekiah or Mary Ann/Alice PICKETT. John W. PICKETT walked out on his wife, Eliza (WILEY), and four children in the 1890's and was never heard from again. Would love to know what happened to him. Willing to share any info I have with anyone researching the same names or family.
