Hi, this is a wild shot, but i have always wonderred if Pickett and Pickens families are connected? There is a slew of Pickens families in McClennan County- some teachers and some run 3 auto salvage and recycling yards. I do know in old 1800's maps there is a Wiley's Road- the Tugaloo(Tenn-Ga) turnpike built by Gen. J.R. Wyly, so some early officials were careless about spellings.
