As my previous posting tells you, you will find the engraved portrait of Ezekiel Pickens you see above featured at one website after another and in one family tree after another, and identified as Ezekiel Pickens (1768-1813), son of Andrew Pickens and Rebecca Calhoun. But this is not Ezekiel Pickens. This is Ezekiel Pickens (1794-1860), son of Andrew and Rebecca’s son Ezekiel by that Ezekiel’s wife Elizabeth Bonneau.
