Lyn, have you tried looking under the Pickle surname? Is that a rare name? That could be a good place to start. Also, if you are sure about the date of death you can get the death records from the government. They might have something there for you to pursue. Do you know if he was ever in the military? You could find out a lot from military records. Also, look for land grants in his name or in her name. Until you get more facts about his life, this all pretty much all that I can help you with. Since you know when and where he died, start from there and try to rebuild his life. Good luck Carol Gabriel List Admin
