I believe that the namesake of the town is related to my ancestor. My g-g-great grandfather was Samuel Pickett, originally from Ashford, NY, he lived in the Washington/Dodge County area and then moved to Clark County in 1871. Samuel's heritage is traced back to Connecticut in the late 1600s. I would say 85% or more of the Picketts came from the same common ancestry as well. I have found several of Samuel's brothers and cousins in Wisconsin and believe that Pickett's namesake was one of his cousins as well. Do you know any more history about the town's founding and early years? Thanks!!
