Pickens, Jr; David Pickens; Thomas JReed; Beryl Reid; Ginny Reynolds; Tom Richardson; Jack Rowe; Blake Smith;Bev Sullivan;REFERENCE NOTE: the following is given for geographical reference only:From Kay Borden's CARLILE family website:
"The Charleston, S.C. Court of Ordinary recorded the proceedings asfollows: 'Citation granted to Samuel Paxton and Jane Carlile daughter ofJames Carlile of Long Canes to Administer the Estate and Effects of JamesCarlile late of Long Canes, Prince William Parish, Craven County asnearest of kin. To be read in the Parish Church aforesaid and returnedcertified (by the minister), granted 6th December 1770.'
This statement shows that in 1770, the area of Long Canes in Abbevillewas considered to be in Prince William Parish, Craven Co. - tmc.QUESTION: In 1790 there was a Rachel HARRISON living near Jonathan andAbraham PICKENS in Abbeville Dist. Could she possibly be their sister,and daughter of Gabriel - tmc.
!BIRTH: Possibly born in PA, or on the way to PA from Ireland? In theLymon Draper interview w/Andrew Pickens, Andrew stated he thought Gabrielmay have been born in America. If so, I believe the birth date would becloser to 1720 - tmc.CHILDREN: Sharp, in some of his earlier research (pre 1963) has a notethat "Some descendants of... Andrew PICKENS of Fayette County seem tothink he was a son of Gabriel and Zerubiah PICKENS of Abbeville County,who lived on Great Rocky Creek. This indeed may be true. It is certainthat he is the son of either Gabriel, or John Sr." (see Enc #P-772 -tmc).

That your petitioners are daily troubled by John O'NEAL, a person ofevil fame, who, being ill natured, evil, designing, citigious, wickedman, he often takes occasion to come to the houses of some of yourpetitioners and then designedly raises and foments disputes with them inwhich he makes use of the most opprobrious and abuseful words he caninvent, and as he is bound to the peace, dares any one to strike him,therefore, should any of us strike or beat him we know not what might bethe consequences as we are
unacquainted with the law and his usual manner threatens to shoot us ifhe sees any of us out of our own plantations, that he will do us all thedamage he can by killing our horses, cattle, &c., and when reproved ofhis misbehavior he tells us that if he does any action, be it ever sobad, that he will be cleared by this Court for two pieces of eight. Hisbehavior is such that your petitioners are afraid to leave their familiesto go about their lawful affairs, not knowing but he may fulfill histhreats before our return by killing our wives or children, burning ourhouses, or doing some other irreparable damage, and, as doubtless yourWorships is well acquainted with the behavior of this malicious man, wehope you will take our case into consideration and fall upon some methodto hinder him from being guilty of such outrages and irregularities forthe future. That we, being subjects to his Majesty and the laws of theDominion, may be no longer abused by such a person in the above manner,and your petitioners, as in duty bound, shall ever pray.--DanielHARRISON, James MAGILL, Daniel SMITH, John MCGARRY, Robert HARRISON,Gawin BLACK, John LONKILL, Patrick CAIN, Aaron OLIVER, (erased), RobertGRAY, Henry SMITH, Benjamin KINLEY, John SMITH, John MCCLEWER, GabrielPICKENS, John HINTON and Robert PATTERSON.

He was in the Augusta Militia in 1742 showing he hadcome of age. He must have married about 1744. He remained in Virginiauntil 1764 when he obtained patent to 200 acres of land in AbbevilleDistrict located on Great Rocky Creek. (Appendix XII) His land adjoinedthat of his brother John who that same year moved there from Lynch Creekin South Carolina's Camden District. Gabriel and his brother JOHN are theonly Pickens who obtained land on Great Rocky Creek. Their two familiesgrew up together, entered revolutionary service from there, and allmention Fort Independence in their pension papers later. They eachmention being "own cousins to General Andrew PICKENS". After the war theyobtained grants for land in Abbeville and Pendleton Districts, and fromthere moved to Tennessee. There are no extant records of settlement ofthe estate of Gabriel PICKENS. Many early estates were destroyed in courthouse fire in Abbeville Court House. Only four children of Gabriel areknown with some degree of certainty. They are:

Diane- My g-g-grfather was John Patterson GILLESPIE, born in 1802. Hisparents were Lowry GILLESPIE and Frances PATTERSON. We think Frances wasdau. of John PATTERSON and Margaret BASKIN. Does this go with yourinformation? Margaret BASKING (born probably around 1750 in VA) was dau.of William BASKIN. Does this fit your info?
Lived Abbeville Dist SC. To GA after the Rev. War, living acrossSavannah River, opposite the mouth of Rosses Creek. Lived Elbert Co., GA.
1790, 14 Aug - bought land of Joseph Woodal, on 12-mile Creek.

The following list of members of Long Cane Church is from thehistorical sketch prepared and delivered by Dr. Nora Davis in connectionwith the historical meeting at old Long Cane Church on October 27,1940...The history Dr. Davis presents is very interesting and anyonewhose ancestors were members of this church might want to get a copy ofthe entire sketch. My copy was ordered many years ago from The SouthCaroliniana Library at the University of South Carolina. I wish the nameswere in alphabetical order, but I will type them as they appear in thesketch, which perhaps is the order in which the individuals actuallysigned.
