THE PICKENS FAMILY
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,
C Andrew
Miller,
C Ebenezer
Miller,
