     D  SARAH PICKENS, daughter of Col. Joseph and Caroline Henderson Pickens was born at Cahaba, Alabama, at that time the capitol of the State, September 29th, 1831, and died at the Battery Park Hotel, in Asheville, North Carolina, where she was spending the heated term on the 22nd day of September, 1909.
     (A correspondent furnished us this description of her).
     "In person, Sarah Pickens was above the medium height, with finely formed features, hear of glossy blackness, full intellectual brow, and large, magnificent gray eyes, shaded by long, dark eye lashes. In manner, she was easy and graceful, at all times and all circumstances, a natural heritage through generations of aristocratic ancestry. She was a most entertaining and fluent conversationalist, and her voice was that of a cultured woman of the "Old South." She traveled extensively and mingled with the Nation's most learned and great of both sexes, and her presence graced two nation capitols --Washington and Richamond. It was a great pleasure and source of information to hear her recount the scenes and incidents, and describe the famous characters with whom she had met. During her last years she was always vivacious, sprightly, and an admirable companion.
     After her marriage to a Mr. McQueen, she lived in her native town, and was the mother of five children, viz.:
    E  Carolina McQueen,
    E  Joseph Pickens McQueen
    E  Flora McQueen,
    E  John McQueen,
    E  James William McQueen.
     The two girls, Caroline and Floria, died in infancy at the age of about six months.
     "With all her property swept away by the calamitous war of the sixties, leaving her practically destitute, she took her three little boys to start life anew. She never wavered for an instant but with undaunted heroism, fought their battles, cared for them, shouldering their sorrows, until they grew up as giant monuments to commemorate a mother's love."

     B  JOHN PICKENS, son of the old pioneer Andrew Pickens, from the best information obtainable, was lost at the siege of Ninety Six during the Revolutionary war.
     The estate of John Pickens was paid for his services in the war as stub entry No. 193, book S, of payments for services rendered in the war. The entry reads as follows:

THE PICKENS FAMILY


     "Issued the 10 of June 1785 to _______________for estate of Mr. John Pickens for Forty One Pounds, Eight Shillings and Six Pence three farthings Sterling for duty done in the Militia and a Mare lost as pr. Account audited"________
     Evidently from the fact that payment was made to the estate of John Pickens, he was killed during the war, and was a married man with family.

     B  JANE PICKENS, daughter of Andrew Pickens, married Rev. Robert Miller some time prior to 1758, while the family was living at the Waxhaw Settlement, and when the Pickens families moved t the Long Cane settlement, Rev. Robert Miller and his family moved there also.
     Rev. Robert Miller was a Presbyterian minister and came from Scotland. For a short time after he came to the Waxhaw settlement he served as pastor of the Waxhaw Presbyterian church; and he and his wife gave the ground on which the church was located. After they had moved to the Long Cane settlement in Abbeville county during one of General Andrew Pickens' expeditions against the Indians, in the Revolutionary War period, he was serving as chaplain of the army.
     Upon one occasion when only a few men were in advance of the main army on the march, they were surprised by the Indians and were in great danger. General Pickens arranged these few men who were in the advance so as to hold the Indians in check until the main army arrived, and dispatched runners to hasten the advance of the men in the rear. While waiting for their advance, General Andrew Pickens and members of his staff, retired to a private place for prayer, and when the soldiers of the main army came up, they found their leader and his officers being led in devotions by their chaplain, the Rev. Robert Miller.
     The children of Rev. Robert Miller, and his wife, Jane Pickens Miller, were:
    C  Robert Miller,
    C  Annie Miller,
