Elizabeth Barksdale marriage edit

Latest comment: 5 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

Some sources seem to think that Pickens was married twice and that his second wife was named Elizabeth Barksdale. I'm not certain that is true; looking at other sources, it looks like there might have been a different Ezekiel Pickens who married someone by that name, and the two are being conflated. For one thing, one source said that they married in 1800, which is before Pickens' first wife Elizabeth Bonneau died. Brianyoumans (talk) 16:30, 8 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

Actually, I have found better sources for the marriage. For one thing, Elizabeth Barksdale Pickens apparently died in 1859 at Hopewell Plantation, which would certainly indicate a connection with Gen. Andrew Pickens' family. Brianyoumans (talk) 16:59, 8 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
