Children of Andrew Pickens and Rebecca Calhoun: Rebecca (Noble), Catherine (Hunter), and Joseph – New Information Added to Previous Posting

I’ve just added a number of paragraphs to my previous posting about Rebecca (Noble), Catherine (Hunter), and Joseph Pickens, children of Andrew Pickens and Rebecca Calhoun. This information has to do with Catherine and her husband Dr. John Hunter.

His tombstone in his Keowee Heights family cemetery now located on land owned by Clemson University’s Experimental Forest gives the 1752 birthdate: the inscription on the tombstone (which will be given in full later in my posting(s) about John), reads,[1]

He was born in the year 1752 and died on the 26th of October 1802.

This post continues a discussion that began with this previous posting of the children of Andrew Pickens and Rebecca Calhoun of Abbeville County and Pendleton District, South Carolina. The posting I’ve just linked discusses Andrew and Rebecca’s first six children Mary, Ezekiel, Ann, a son who died in infancy, and two daughters named Jane.
