HISTORICAL NOTES ON PICKENS NAME, as prepared by a descendant, W. V.MONTGOMERY, who lived until last year at Selma Ala. [this document wasproably prepared in the early 1940's, as the accompanying correspondenceMr. Smith had bears the date of 1943]
W. V. MONTGOMERY was a descendant of Israel PICKENS, brother of CaptainAndrew and his wife, Martha....
There is evidence which seems to prove that there were five brothers;
Israel PICKENS
Andrew PICKENS
John PICKENS
William PICKENS
Gabriel PICKENS. These five were the sons of William PICKENS whosettled in Bucks Co., PA in 1719....NOTES OF E. M. SHARP, as found in the Mississippi Dept. of Archives.

I. "In the records of the Dutch Reformed Church, Bensalem, Bucks CoPA, under the heading "Entries made by Elder Christophel Van-Zandt,during the Ministry of Rev. Malachi Jones, 1719-1722" there is a listof 'Newcomers from Eerlandt' who joined the church in which we find,
'1719 William PECKINS and his wife by certificate' and further downin the list is:
'1720 Isrell PECKINS by profession'
'1722 Margaret PICKEN by profession'
From the fact that William PECKINS (PICKENS) and his wife joined thechurch by certificate we believe that he was the head of the family andfather of about half a dozen teenage children, the oldest of whom IsraelPICKENS joined the church by profession when he became of age.
The records of Bucks County Penn., show the death of a William PICKENSin 1735.
II. Lancaster County Pennsylvania was formed from Chester County in1729. Just before or shortly after 1729 several PICKENS young men movedto Paxtang Parish, or Township in Lancaster County, which is in that partof the County which in 1875 was cut off to form Dauphin County,Pennsylvania.
Between 1729 and 1739 there are many records of Israel PICKENS, AndrewPICKENS, John PICKENS, William PICKENS, and Gabriel PICKENS. All of thesewere brothers, we believe, and sons of William PICKENS who joinedBensalem Chruch in Bucks County in 1719.

Modern History Sourcebook:
Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, October 22, 1685
Louis, by the grace of God king of France and Navarre, to all presentand to come, greeting:
King Henry the Great, our grandfather of glorious m emory, beingdesirous that the peace which he had procured for his subjects after thegrievous losses they had sustained in the course of domestic and foreignwars, should not be troubled on account of the R.P.R., as had happened inthe reigns of the kings, his predecessors, by his edict, granted atNantes in the month of April, 1598, regulated the procedure to be adoptedwith regard to those of the said religion, and the places in which theymight meet for public worship, established extraordinary judges toadminister justice to them, and, in fine, provided in particular articlesfor whatever could be thought necessary for maintaining the tranquillityof his kingdom and for diminishing mutual aversion between the members ofthe two religions, so as to put himself in a better position to labor, ashe had resolved to do, for the reunion to the Church of those who had solightly withdrawn from it.
As the intention of the king, our grandfather, was frus trated by hissudden death, and as the execution of the said edict was interruptedduring the minority of the late king, our most honored lord and father ofglorious memory, by new encroachments on the part of the adherents of thesaid R.P.R., which gave occasion for their being deprived of diversadvantages accorded to them by the said edict; nevertheless the king, ourlate lord and father, in the exercise of his usual clemency, granted themyet another edict at Nimes, in July, 1629, by means of which,tranquillity being established anew, the said late king, animated by thesame spirit and the same zeal for religion as the king, our saidgrandfather, had resolved to take advantage of this repose to attempt toput his said pious design into execution. But foreign wars havingsupervened soon after, so that the kingdom was seldom tranquil from 1635to the truce concluded in 1684 with the powers of Europe, nothing morecould be done for the advantage of religion beyond diminishing the numberof places for the public exercise of the R.P.R., interdicting such placesas were found estab lished to the prejudice of the dispositions made bythe edicts, and suppressing of the bi-partisan courts, these having beenappointed provisionally only.
God having at last permitted that our people should enjoy perfectpeace, we, no longer absorbed in protecting them from our enemies, areable to profit by this truce (which we have ourselves facilitated), anddevote our whole attention to the means of accomplishing the designs ofour said grandfather and father, which we have consistently kept beforeus since our succession to the crown.
And now we perceive, with thankful acknowledgment of God's aid, thatour endeavors have attained their proposed end, inasmuch as thebetter and the greater part of our subjects of the said R.P.R. haveembraced the Catholic faith. And since by this fact the execution of theEdict of Nantes and of all that has ever been ordained in favor of thesaid R.P.R. has been rendered nugatory, we have determined that we can donothing better, in order wholly to obliterate the memory of the troubles,the confusion, and the evils which the progress of this false religionhas caused in this kingdom, and which furnished occasion for the saidedict and for so many previous and subsequent edicts and declarations,than entirely to revoke the said Edict of Nantes, with the specialarticles granted as a sequel to it, as well as all that has since beendone in favor of the said religion.
I. Be it known that for these causes and others us hereunto moving, andof our certain knowledge, full power, and royal authority, we have, bythis present perpetual and irrevocable edict, suppressed and revoked, anddo suppress and revoke, the edict of our said grandfather, given atNantes in April, 1598, in its whole extent, together with the particulararticles agreed upon in the month of May following, and the letterspatent issued upon the same date; and also the edict given at Nimes inJuly, 1629; we declare them null and void, together with all concessions,of whatever nature they may be, made by them as well as by other edicts,declarations, and orders, in favor of the said persons of the R.P.R., thewhich shall remain in like manner as if they had never been granted; andin consequence we desire, and it is our pleasure, that all the temples ofthose of the said R.P.R. situate in our kingdom, countries, territories,and the lordships under our crown, shall be demolished without delay.
II. We forbid our subjects of the R.P.R. to meet any more for theexercise of the said religion in any place or private house, under anypretext whatever, . . .
III. We likewise forbid all noblemen, of what condition soever, to holdsuch religious exercises in their houses or fiefs, under penalty to beinflicted upon all our said subjects who shall engage in the saidexercises, of imprisonment and confiscation.
lV. We enjoin all ministers of the said R.P.R., who do not choose tobecome converts and to embrace the Catholic, apostolic, and Romanreligion, to leave our kingdom and the territories subject to us within afortnight of the publication of our present edict, without leave toreside therein beyond that period, or, during the said fortnight, toengage in any preaching, exhortation, or any other function, on pain ofbeing sent to the galleys. . . .
VII. We forbid private schools for the instruction of children of thesaid R.P.R., and in general all things what ever which can be regarded asa concession of any kind in favor of the said religion.
VIII. As for children who may be born of persons of the said R.P.R., wedesire that from henceforth they be baptized by the parish priests. Weenjoin parents to send them to the churches for that purpose, underpenalty of five hundred livres fine, to be increased as circumstances maydemand; and thereafter the children shall be brought up in the Catholic,apostolic, and Roman religion, which we expressly enjoin the localmagistrates to see done.
IX. And in the exercise of our clemency towards our subjects of the saidR.P.R. who have emigrated from our kingdom, lands, and territoriessubject to us, previous to the publication of our present edict, it isour will and pleasure that in case of their returning within the periodof four months from the day of the said publication, they may, and itshall be lawful for them to, again take possession of their property, andto enjoy the same as if they had all along remained there: on thecontrary, the property abandoned by those who, during the specifiedperiod of four months, shall not have returned into our kingdom, lands,and territories subject to us, shall remain and be confiscated inconsequence of our declaration of the 20th of August last.
X. We repeat our most express prohibition to all our subjects of thesaid R.P.R., together with their wives and children, against leaving ourkingdom, lands, and territories subject to us, or transporting theirgoods and effects therefrom under penalty, as respects the men, of beingsent to the galleys, and as respects the women, of imprisonment andconfiscation.
XI. It is our will and intention that the declarations rendered againstthe relapsed shall be executed according to their form and tenor.
XII. As for the rest, liberty is granted to the said persons of theR.P.R., pending the time when it shall please God to enlighten them aswell as others, to remain in the cities and places of our kingdom, lands,and territories subject to us, and there to continue their commerce, andto enjoy their possessions, without being subjected to molestation orhindrance on account of the said R.P.R., on condition of not engaging inthe exercise of the said religion, or of meeting under pretext of prayersor religious services, of whatever nature these may be, under thepenalties above mentioned of imprisonment and confiscation.1 This do wegive in charge to our trusty and well-beloved counselors, etc.
Given at Fontainebleau in the month of October, in the year of grace1685, and of our reign the forty-third."

BASKIN(S): THE BASKIN FAMILY SOUTH CAROLINA -- PENNSYLVANIA WITH STEPHENSAND MARTINS NOTES by Raymond M. Bell (Washington & Jefferson College,Washington PA, 1975)
p.1-2. "... the William and John BASKIN who settled in Pennsylvaniain the 1730's came from Ireland - possibly County Donegal...
... the spelling of the name has remained BASKIN in some branches - inothers it has become BASKINS. Today the name BASKIN is also carried bymembers of another faith and origin.
"...William BASKIN of Augusta Co., VA came from Ireland, according to a1749 court record;
The first record of William BASKIN is in 1732 when his name appears onthe tax list of Nottingham Twp, Chester Co., PA. It is also listed 1733,1734, 1735, 1736. John BASKIN is listed for 1735 and 1736. John pd [1/3lb?] and William [1/9 lb?] in taxes. Both names are gone in 1737. Theylikely moved to the Paxton (PA) region just then opening. They had landedin Philadelphia.
After a few years many settlers moved from Paxton southwest to Augusta(then Orange) County, Virginia. William BASKIN likely did this for hisname appears in the Virginia records in 1740. The Orange Co. VA OrderBook 2, p. 218 has the following entry:"
"At a court held for Orange County on Thursday the 24th day of Jul1740... John PICKENS made oath that he imported himself, Margaret,Eleanor, Margaret the younger, Gabriel PICKENS and William BASKIN fromIreland into Philadelphia and from thence into this Colony at his owncharge and that this is the first time of proving his and their right inorder to obtain land which is orderd to be certified."
John PICKENS was in Paxton in 1735. Tradition says that William BASKINmoved from Paxton to Virginia. He may have been related to John PICKENS.In 1765 William BASKIN moved from Virginia to Abbeville County, SouthCarolina. (There is no further record of John BASKIN of Nottingham. Hemay have died at Paxton about 1740, leaving sons William, James, Francis,and possibly Thomas. William's son, John was in South Carolina in 1774.)
A Robert BASKIN died in Augusta County before 1749, William BASKIN wasnamed administrator Nov 29-1750. His widow owned land adjoining JohnPICKENS 1749-59; in 1761 it was owned by Thomas, son of William. AndrewBASKIN appears in Augusta in 1752; later in Kershaw and Lancaster Co.sSC. The relation of William BASKIN to Robert and Andrew is not known.
There are many records of William BASKIN in Augusta County. His son,Charles, was baptised Mar 15-1741 by Rev. John CRAIG. William's nameappears on a 1742 muster roll. In 1745 he resigned as constable. In 1747he became road overseer. In 1747 he bought 212 acres on Lewis Creek; in1749 232 acres on Buffalo Run. He had a servant in 1752 and in 1761.William BASKIN, Sr. had married Mary STUART. There were a number ofSTUARTs in Augusta Co. William had six sons. All are listed in Virginia,except Hugh, the youngest. John is first listed in 1756 and Charles andJames in 1765.
... The land of [John] PICKENS adjoined both Widow BASKIN and WilliamBASKIN.
About 1745-55 Andrew BASKIN and John PICKENS went south to the NC-SCborder. In 1764 John PICKENS applied for land near Andrew BASKIN, beforemoving to Abbeville Co., SC - where William BASKIN was to go in 1765.
The Journal of the South Carolina Council, Oct 10-1746 tells of thereceipt of a petition "from Sundry Inhabitants of the back parts ofVirginia" asking whether there was land at Ninety-Six (later Abbeville)on which they could settle. There were thirty some signatures, headed byWilliam BASKIN, James LESSLIE (LESSLEY) and John PICKENS. These menlived on adjoining farms in Augusta Co. (LESSLEY died in Augusta 1780).The other two got to South Carolina about 20 years later. In 1746 thepetitioners said that they had "fully resolved to remove their families";that they wanted to settle in the back parts of South Carolina.
... In 1746 [William] BASKIN [John] PICKENS and others asked thegovernor and council of South Carolina to purchase from the CherokeeIndians the land around Ninety-Six and Long Cane and make it availablefor settlement. This was done in 1747, but Indian trouble discouragedsettlement. William BASKIN gave up the idea of going to South Carolinaand in May 1747 bought 212 acres from John PICKENS [in Augusta Co., VA].
John PICKENS got restless and left Augusta in 1754. By 1763 he or hissons had taken land on Rocky River and Little River in District 96. OnJun 7-1763 John, eldest son of William BASKIN Sr. of Virginia, took upland on Long Cane, now waters of Little River..
[the BASKIN family attended the Rocky River Presbyterian Church in So.Carolina - it is likely that is where the PICKENS also attended?]
... James T. BASKIN wrote in 1914 from Lowndesville:
William BASKIN, the head of the family, came from Ireland to JuniataValley, PA, thence to near historic Stone Church [Augusta Co., VA] and onto SC. William BASKIN married Mary STUART in Ireland. ....PICKENS FAMILIES OF THE SOUTH, by E. M. Sharp (1963):
p. 36. "In October 1746, John PICKENS, William BASKIN, James LESLIE,and about 30 others signed a petition to the Governor and Council ofSouth Carolina. The following is an abstract of the petition found in theJournal of the S.C. Council, Oct. 10, 1746:
'His Excellency laid before the Board the following petition he hadreceived from sundry inhabitants of the back parts of Virginia, humblyshowing the petitioners had great expectation to hear by John TURK thatthe land granted at Ninety-Six was purchased as Thomas TURK had informedthem.
