I made a Jan. 3rd trip to the Butler County
Courthouse and found a marriage license for W. L. Harwell (Webster Levi ) and
Alice H. Pickens given 15th of May 1889 and then listed them married at the Home of Mrs. Pickens on the 19th day of May 1889 by Anselm A. Easley.
I also got a copy of the Pickens family bible page
from my second cousin when I went to Greenville on Jan. 3rd. It is very
hard to read and was hard to copy because it was black photocopy paper with
white print, I think a very poor copy made in the 60's or even
earlier. I scanned it for you but I'm not good at scanning. I hope
you can read it.
These are the dates I could read in the left column:
John C. Pickens was born 22 November 1724
Sarah consort of John C. Pickens was born March 12 1799

John Andrew Pickens born June the 19th 1834
Lizzie L. Geigler born Sept,m 15, 1837
Mary Ida Pickens was born Sept, 15th 1859
Hannah Alice Pickens born April 8, 1861
right column:
Isabella Pickens, mother of J. C Pickens birth something the 28th
1776
Hannah Pickens birth May the 22nd 1792
E. H. Pickens July born the 20th 1798

Aunt Ruth Harwell Mixon had that poor copy of the family bible and her bible, possibly the Pickens family bible. My second cousin Emma Jean Roberson in Greenville says she may still have Aunt Ruth's bible in the bottom of her cedar chest. I asked her when she has time to look and see. Will let you know if she finds it.
I am hoping to go to Greenville during my children's Christmas break and do research at the Butler County Courthouse, the Greenville Advocate and the historical society. If I turn up more info I will be happy to pass it along.
We are going to get a computer scanner. When we do, I will scan and send to you a photo of Hannah Alice Pickens and her husband Webster Levi Harwell.

Hi John. Just home today from
vacation to Destin, FL and had your message. On the way home I got to stop over in Montgomery at the Alabama Archives and History and do
some research.
When we got to Montgomery I checked with the Alabama Archives and History department and they were open until 5 pm. It is like getting into Ft. Knox to do research there...I had to sign in, get a badge, put my purse in a locker, and then to look at microfilm I had to fill out a form, show my driver's license, get a number on a card and THEN I could request a microfilm! I don't know where you live, but they do have a lot of great
information.
I also got to see the Pickens Family book "Cousin Monroe's History
of the Pickens Family", copyright 1951. Is this is book you cited
in your John C. Pickens material? If not, I can type in for you my notes from the book.
I also saw a poor photocopy of a Pickens family bible, possibly
John Andrew Pickens, in the possession of Emma Lou Harwell's daughter
Emma Jean Roberson who lives in Greenville. I need to call Emma
Lou and get the details of this photocopy and ask who has the
bible.
These are the dates I could see for sure
Hannah Alice Pickens born April 8th, 1861
Mary Ida Pickens born Sept. 16, 1859
Ruth Elizabeth Harwell (a daughter of Hannah Alice Pickens and
Webster Levi Harwell, sister to my great grandmother Lillie Dhu Harwell,
and great aunt Emma Lou Reeves) 1892
John Andrew Pickens June 18, 1834 married Lizzie Zeigler born
9-16-1837
Isabella Pickens born June 20, 1821
John C. Pickens born November 22, year possibly 1749?
Is there any of this family of Pickens relation to Fort Pickens in Alabama?

Writing to you about my great, great grandmother Hannah Alice Pickens, who married Webster Levi Harwell and had three girls and one boy. My great grandmother was Lillie Dhu Harwell Mixon. I have birth and death dates for Hannah Alice, and Webster Levi, and my great grandmother and her family, but don't have the Harwell marriage date. Do you have that?
