25 years of age. He died in Lawrence Co., Alabama around 1825. Some descendants
state that he was born in South Carolina. However, his son in 1880 census stated
his father was born in Kentucky. He went to Lawrence where he secured a tract of
land in 1818 near Mount Hope. He moved his family there in 1821. he built a
house that stood until 1928. James D. PICKENS, his son, was carried to this
house in 1821 when he was two years old. When William Reuben PICKENS died his
estate was settled under the name of William PICKENS, by Moses CUNNINGHAM as
administrator...[brother of the widow, Mary CUNNINGHAM PICKENS]"ISRAEL PICKENS, Lawrence Co, AL, by Marjorie Parsley, April 1986:
"... ISRAEL and WILLIAM PICKENS, his son, were on the 1812 tax list of Giles
Co., Tenn. Also listed were his uncle ANDREW PICKENS (his mother's brother), and
his cousins WILLIAM G. and JAMES PICKENS.
Probably in 1819, ISRAEL PICKENS moved to Lawrence Co., Ala. No land records
have been found for him (the first deed book far the county is missing). His
probable son, WILLIAM PICKENS "of Lawrence County", bought land there early in
1819, and ISRAEL may have been living on the property, Many of ISRAEL's
neighbors in the 1820 census had bought public lands in Township 7, Range 9
west, near WILLIAM's tract.
In the 1830 census, MARY (CUNNINGHAM) PICKENS, WILLIAM's widow, had some of
the same neighbors ISRAEL had in the 1820 census.
From census records and the probate records of his son, JOSEPH PICKENS,
ISRAEL's children were probably:
1. WILLIAM PICKENS, born about 1790-94, Married MARY A. CUNNINGHAM in
Tennessee about 1814, He was living in Alabama in 1819, but bought land in
Bedford Co., Tenn., from his in-laws in 1820 and was listed in the 1820

My ggg-grandfather was John F. Key born January 24, 1810 in Virginia. He was
the son of Dabney Center Key and Elizabeth "Betsy" Larson. John married
Elizabeth Ann Pickens (b. about 1812 in Tenn.) on December 22, 1836 in Lawrence
Co., Alabama. Elizabeth was the daughter of Israel Pickens. Is there anyone
researching this line who could help me with dates and places of death on John
F. and Elizabeth Pickens Key?Posted By: Joni Collopy
