Pickett-2487 and Pickett-269 appear to represent the same person because: Although the birth and death information is different, these two profiles definitely represent the same individual. William Pickett was married to Agnes when he married a second wife, Susanna Rogers (Rogers-3274) probably sometime in 1847. William later abandoned Susanna and went to California with Agnes. Susanna was pregnant with his son, Horatio Pickett (Pickett-39) at the time. William has a large posterity through his son Horatio, who is my great great grandfather. Susanna’s life story is documented in the book “In Search of Living Water,” by Jane Topham.

Pickett-979 and Pickett-269 appear to represent the same person because: Pickett-269 and Pickett-979 represent the same individual. This came to light when two profiles for Susanna Rogers were merged. (Susanna was William Pickett's wife.)
