***I would love to maintain this memorial for Thomas Andrew Pickens if you would allow it! He was the half-brother to my GG-Grandfather. Thanks, Helen, member #47702523
Query
Hi Judy and Gary, I am curious as to whether you are a direct descendant of the Thomas Andrew Pickens noted on the memorial you created? His parents were Virginia Elizabeth Corder and James William Pickens. Virginia was the third wife to James. My Great-Grandfather was a son from James William's first wife, Della! Would love to connect with you. A mutual cousin has transcribed Virginia's obituary that I would be happy to forward to you. Warmly, Helen Pickens Murphy of Tennessee
