AN ARTICLE
from an unknown publication has been in my possession for many years. Dated Weaverville NC, it appears to have been a local newspaper account of a large PICKENS family reunion of the area. It offers some tantalizing comments, and is related to the comments made by Charles Pickens, above: [the copy I have is a handwritten transcript - tmc]"Weaverville, NC, Aug 4, 1955. A Professor of genetics today traced the PICKENS Family History back to its beginnings in Ayrshire, Scotland through 15 generations. The geneticist, Dr. Andrew L. PICKENS of Queens College, Charlotte, addressed 200 fellow members of his family and their guests at 48th annual PICKENS Family reunion at Frank PICKENS home here.
Dr. PICKENS has been to England and to Scotland and examined court records there to find the first Andrew PICKENS, then spelled 'PICON'. He traced the accomplished of the family under King Henry IV of France and then the migration of three brothers to the U.S. and the part they played in the Revolutionary War. Later he showed how members of the clan were allied on either side in the War Between the States, mentioning several places in the south where a PICKENS had been in action.
Mrs. Asbury BARNETT, State President of the United Daughters of the Confederacy spoke on days in her girlhood in Alabama when the government [sic] of the State was a PICKENS.
Miss PICKENS recognized Troy PICKENS of California as the one who traveled the greatest distance to attend the reunion."
If anyone has old family records to share that may shed more light on the report that Dr. PICKENS presented at this gathering, it would be of great interest, and sincerely appreciated - tmc.

The Jackson County Pioneers Project -
http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~bbriggs/index.htm Betty Briggs has a great, easily searchable site where she is compiling families of Jackson Co., WV. There you will find links to census, photos, and maps, among other records. These families are connected to North Carolina, Virginia, and Ohio families. An ongoing project, it is continually growing. She welcomes corrections and additions.Links to sites with connections and / or resources for those PICKENS who have Black/Freedman heritage - many of these also have American Indian heritage also.
Many of these lines are difficult to prove and records are non-existent or full of discrepancies and inconsistencies. Many families have extremely strong traditions of their PICKENS heritage. In most cases, the 'preponderance of evidence' is all there is to support these family lines, but it may be all there will ever be. Strong family tradition, tied to time, locality, known slaveholders, and family association, offer the best evidence available in many cases.
