Janice, Sam, and all others interested I was not aware that Nancy went to Attala County. Which husband did she go with (Lee, Dill, or Jenkins)? Janice, you make a valid point about Jacob and Catherine and the children. The name Catherine is only definitely used by Robert (first child born) and Greenberry (second child, first female). Mary, who stayed in Fayette County, had no Catherine. James, another Fayette County Pickle, had no Catherine (I have only been able to identify three male children). As you pointed out, John "Jack" Pickle had no Catherine. Jacob Lewis had a daughter named Mary C. "Katie" Pickle. Do we know what the C stands for? Nancy's first child with Mr. Dill was also named Mary C. Back in Monroe County, Henry Pickle had a daughter named Eliza C. Pickle. Once again I have no indication of what the C stands for. The name thing intrigued me. I can honestly say it had never crossed my mind. So, I did some more checking. Robert, Henry, Greenberry, and Jacob Lewis all had boys named Jacob. Mary, James, John "Jack" failed to use the name. Nancy only had one boy and his name was Lewis J. (do not know about the J). The question is seldom asked, but how did we formulate the list of the children of Jacob and Catherine? I know that there was a list given in the Mother Monroe book (or it History of Monroe). However, it never gave any corroborating evidence. Is there any hard evidence linking each child to Jacob and Catherine. For example, Robert is named as a child of Jacob and Catherine Pickle in the bible of Jacob "One-eyed Jake" Pickle, son of Robert. Kathy Wilcox, a descendent of Robert has some pretty convincing evidence that a Jacob Pickle married a Catherine Berry (it is posted at my website). While there are many questions we need to answer, I think it is probably the most critical question that we should answer. Janice --BTW - I was going through my file cabinet a few days ago and found a folder of letters that you sent me a few short years ago (or atleaset is seems not so long ago). Is it not amazing that we used to do this all by pen, paper, and postage stamps. Greg Green <A HREF="www.geocities.com/greenweeks">www.geocities.com/greenweeks</A>

My mother's oldest sister always listened to the family talk and she handed down to me all she remembered. She stated that two brothers and a sister came to Attala Co and their father was named Jake. About 25 years ago I searched everything and could NOT find any listing for these other Pickles as being Jacob's chidlren. So in my history I state as the first three children Jack (John, my ancestor), Louis or Lewis, and sister Nancy. Nancy married first Jasper Henry Lee, then Mr. Dill, and then Henry Milton Jenkins. I have been researching family history since 1957. When I was researching the Pickle history I read everything in the MOnroe Co courthouse and could not find any evidence that these others were his children, but they probably are. My idea is that Catherine is possibly NOT the mother of all his children. In 1870 she was living between two Pickles and with the JOhnson family - there is always the possibility that this Cassandra or Kizannah was her daughter - but she was not with Jacob and Catherine in the 1850 census. But how will we ever know for sure! Over the years I have picked up several more who could be Jacob's children but no proof! We are fortunate that old Jacob "Jake" was the only old Pickle in this area of the country!!!! I have never found any proof that old Jacob came to Attala County. Only found Catherine here in 1870. I think the census taker missed an area of Monroe Co or Attala Co in 1860 as there were so many Pickles that did not appear in the census of 1860.
