In this posting and a subsequent one, I will share information about the children of Andrew Pickens (1739-1817) and Rebecca Calhoun (1745-1814) of Abbeville County and Pendleton District, South Carolina. This posting will discuss Andrew and Rebecca’s first six children Mary, Ezekiel, Ann, an unnamed son who died in infancy, and Jane, a name given to two daughters in a row after the first Jane died in infancy.

Now that I have completed a series of postings tracking family lines descending from John Green (1768-1837) of Abbeville and Pendleton District, South Carolina, and Bibb County, Alabama, a series that began with this posting, I’m going to begin a series tracking the Calhoun ancestry of John Green’s wife Jane Kerr, who was the daughter of Samuel Kerr and Mary Calhoun of the Long Cane settlement in what became Abbeville County, South Carolina, in 1785. The posting that follows will focus on Jane’s mother Mary Calhoun Kerr.

1800-1810

As my last posting tells you as it examines Pendleton District, South Carolina, records for John Green from the 1790 federal census, which suggests that he and wife Jane were living on and managing the Keowee Heights plantation of her uncle John Ewing Colhoun, to 21 December 1798, when he had a plat for 500 acres east of the Keowee in addition to the 838 acres he acquired in 1793, there were a number of men named John Green living in Pendleton District or found in its records in the 1790s. The 1800 federal census for Pendleton District presents us with yet another challenge of sorting John Greens.
