He married " Elizabeth Dunlap " on October 4, 1806 in Salem County, New Jersey.
She was born the daughter of " Edward Dunlap & Mary Parret Dunlap ". The date of her birth is currently unknown. Together they had one known child but more than likely there were more.

Was born in 1807
in Pelesgrove Township, Salem County, New Jersey
the son of :
" William Pickett ( 1 ) " and " Elizabeth Dunlap Pickett "
" Edward " first shows up in the New Hope, Pennsylvania area possibly residing between Lumberville and New Hope in the 1840 census ( which notes his birth and that of his wife's in New Jersey ).
In 1828 he married " Catharine Conver " who was born on October 5, 1809 in New Jersey the daughter of " Peter Conver " and " Elizabeth Remer Conver Strawn ".
" Edward " apparently came to this area to use his skills as a carpenter / boat builder to build boats to be used on the newly completed Delaware Canal ( completed in 1832 ) that was a 60 mile long canal that connected Bristol, Pa. to Easton, Pa. where it connected with the Lehigh Canal. " Edward " soon became one of the most successful canal boat builders in the area.

" A Shipwright is a carpenter skilled in ship construction and repair ".
It would also appear based on the 1850 census that possibly " 2 " of " Edward's " neighbors were working for him since neither of them had any real estate value: James Crothers ( age 45 ) who was also noted as a " Shipwright " and George W. Wilson ( age 32 ) noted as a " ship carpenter ".
Also in the 1850 census it is noted that they had " 7 " of their children residing with them :

He apparently was born in New Hope, Pennsylvania
" John " married " Louisa Jane Everitt " on October 3, 1866 in Lambertville, New Jersey. She was born on January 13, 1846 to Jonathan and Mary Ann Naylor Everitt in New Jersey.
( See the " Everitt Family History " also created by " Russ Pickett ( 200 ) " dating back to " 1612 ! " )
The 1870 Federal Census ( Recorded: July 7, 1870 ) was the first census that they showup in as a family and they were residing in New Hope, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. " John " was noted as a 24 year old " Boat Builder " and was more than likely working with his Dad " Edward " in his Boat Yard. " Louisa " is noted as a 23 year old housekeeper raising their " 2 " oldest children :
Eliza ~ ( Age 2 )
and Jacob ~ ( Age 3 months )
In the 1880 Federal Census ( Recorded: June 3, 1880 ) they are shown living on Waterloo Street in the north side of a double house that was owned by his dad " Edward ". His brother " William ( 4 ) " lived in the south side of this double house which was also owned by their dad " Edward ". " John " was noted as a 35 year old " Laborer " and " Louisa " is noted as a 33 year old housekeeper raising their " 3 " oldest children :
Eliza ~ ( Age 12 )
Jacob ~ ( Age 10 )
and Sarah ~ ( Age 6 )
Sadly ..... most of the " 1890 Federal Census " materials were destroyed in a 1921 fire and none of the information for the State's of New Jersey, Maryland, Pennsylvania or Delaware survived the fire.
" Louisa ", however in 1890, purchased their home on the north half of the double house fronting on Waterloo Street from her father-in-law Edward's ( 2 ) Estate in New Hope, Pennsylvania.
( See Edward's ( 2 ) estate settlement - " Click Here " )
Their daughter " Elizabeth A. 'Eliza' Pickett " married " Samuel Updyke ", a widower, on May 21, 1891 in Lambertville, Hunterdon County, New Jersey and he had " 2 " children ( Arthur and Frederick ) with his previous wife prior to their marriage.
In the 1900 Federal Census ( Recorded: June 4, 1900 ) " John " is noted as being a 56 year old " Restuarant Keeper " in a building they were renting at 47 South Main Street in New Hope. Quite possibly they resided in the same building. " Louisa " is noted as a 54 year old " housekeeper " but was also more than likely helping in the restaurant. " 2 " of their children were living with them at this time :
Their youngest son " Elmer " ~ ( Age 13 ) who was noted as attending school
and " Jacob " ~ ( Age 30 ) who was noted as a " Paper Bag Maker ".
Their son " Jacob " was also married at this time however his wife " Minerva " and their 3 children
were living with her parents in East Raritan, New Jersey.
" Grief overcame the family " when their daughter " Elizabeth A. 'Eliza' Pickett Updyke ( 25 )" passed away on November 20, 1903 at the age of 36 years, 4 months, and 9 days. She was interred in the Thompson Memorial Cemetery, New Hope, Pennsylvania. At that time she had four young children that are Pickett Family Descendants :
Russell Updyke ~ ( Age 9 )
George Updyke ~ ( Age 8 )
Wilmer Updyke ~ ( Age 6 )
Louise Updyke ~ ( Age 4 )
and Blanche Updyke ~ ( Age 3 )
In the 1910 Federal Census ( Recorded: April 15, 1910 ) " John " is still shown as owning his own restaurant on North Main Street in New Hope, Pennsylvania and is 66 years old. Very possibly, as already noted, he either lived over the restaurant or behind it in the same building. They also possibly resided in the home that they purchased on Waterloo Street from " John's " Dad " Edward's " estate in 1890. " Louisa " is noted as a 64 year old " Homemaker " but was also more than likely helping in the restaurant as well. Also living with them in 1910 were :
their step-grandson's " Arthur Updyke ( 70 ) "
and " Fred Updyke ( 71 ) "
who more than likely moved in with them
when their daughter " Elizabeth A. 'Eliza' Pickett Updyke ( 25 ) " passed away in 1903.
At the time of " Elizabeth A. 'Eliza' Pickett Updyke's ( 25 ) " passsing her step-son " Arthur Updyke ( 70 ) " would have been about " 17 years old " ... and ... " Eliza ( 25 ) " had been his step-mother since he was about " 5 years old " ...
And " Fred Updyke ( 71 ) " would have been about " 14 years old " ... and ... " Eliza ( 25 ) " had been his step-mother since he was about " 2 years old " ... so basically " Eliza ( 25 ) " was the mother that had raised them both .....
" However " when " Arthur Updyke ( 70 ) " joined the army on January 5, 1918 due to " World War I " having started he had changed his last name to " Arthur Pickett " and that was the name he carried until he passed away .....
And also due to " World War I " ... when " Fred Updyke ( 71 ) " joined the army on June 24, 1918 he had changed his last name to " Fred Pickett ( 70 ) " and that was the name he carried until he passed away .....

Also still living with them in 1920 were their step-grandson's :
" Arthur Updyke Pickett ( 70 ) " and " Fred Updyke Pickett ( 71 ) ".
" John S. Pickett ( 8 ) " preceded his wife in passing away on December 27, 1925 at the age of 81 and was interred in the Riverview Cemetery, Lambertville, New Jersey on December 31, 1925.

 " Manchester Valley " By: Joseph Pickett ( 9 ) |
of the art of Joseph Pickett
that made New Hope, Pennsylvania
the town it is today !
 March 27, 1848 ~ December 12, 1918 ( 70 years old ) |
Was born the 7 th child and the 4 th son of :
" Edward Dunlap Pickett ( 2 ) " and " Catherine Conver Pickett "
on March 27, 1848
in New Hope, Pennsylvania.
He was married twice.
He first married " Emma ????? " who was born in ca. 1855 in Pennsylvania. It is unknown what happened to his 1st wife however she and " Joseph " were living with his father " Edward " on the " Homestead Lot " in the 1880 Federal Census. The family story is that she died during childbirth along with the child .....
" Joseph ", when he was 41 years old, was married second to " Emily Mary Terry " on February 4, 1890 in Vincentown, New Jersey years after his first wife's passing. " Emily " was born the daughter of Walter W. & Sara Jane Flood Terry in January or early February, 1848.
During " Joseph's " early life he was a " canal boatbuilder ", learning the trade from, and also working for his dad
" Edward ". He is said to have lived with his dad until his dad passed away on October 12, 1888.
In the late 1880's through the early 1890's, after the passing of his wife " Emma ", " Joseph " ran a " shooting gallery " at the Neshaminy Falls Grove, then a well known amusement park, on the Neshaminy, just a few miles above Hulmeville. It is believed that this is where he met his wife " Emily ". He was also known to often run concession stands at multiple fairs and parks around the county until his marriage.
After his second marriage and the settlement of his dad's estate he led a more stay-at-home life. His brother's and sister's purchased home's and " Joseph " inherited some money, of an unknown amount, from their dad Edward's Estate.
( See Edward's estate settlement - " Click Here " ) .....
Sadly ..... most of the " 1890 Federal Census " materials were destroyed in a 1921 fire and none of the information for the State's of New Jersey, Maryland, Pennsylvania or Delaware survived the fire.
In the 1900 Federal Census ( Recorded: June 5, 1900 ) " Joseph " ~ ( Age 52 ) and " Emily " ~ ( Age 51 ) are shown residing in a rented home, the left side of a townhouse, and running a " Notion Store " in the front of this home on Mechanic Street next to the canal in New Hope.
 " Leigh Canal at Sunset " By: Joseph Pickett ( 9 ) |
The store, with a home attached, ( as of 2024 ) is still in operation as another type of store. It is " a known fact " that
" Joseph " painted a murial on the side of this home facing Main Street however time has sadly erased it or it was simply painted over. This was believed to have been " Joseph's " first attempt at painting ....
Between the 1900 and 1910 census " Joseph " ~ ( abt. the Age of 55 ) became a " Storekeeper ", on his own account, selling
" general merchandise and hardware " in a store on Bridge Street ~ ( still standing in 2024 ) that was also along the canal and about one block from his home on Mechanic Street. The " Notion Store " that had been in the front of his home on Mechanics street was now their living room.
It was in the back room of this store on Bridge Street that " Joseph ", at about the age of 55, started his paintings. He first started painting, without ever having a lesson, using house paints mixed with sand and plywood wrapped with " Heavy Muslin " from his store's supplies.
In the 1910 Federal Census ( Recorded: April 15, 1910 ) " Joseph " ~ ( Age 62 ) and " Emily " ~ ( Age 62 ) are still shown residing in the same rented home on Mechanic Street. " Joseph " is noted as merchant working on his own account in his " Hardware Store " on Bridge Street. " Emily " is noted as a homekeeper.
It is believed, and noted by some family members, that " Joseph " prior to his passing ended up hiring his great-niece's " Selma's ( 51 ) " husband " William Edwin Cryer " to help out in his " Hardware Store " which is noted in other census data .....
In 1918, prior to his passing, " Joseph " sent one of his paintings to the annual exhibition at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and it received three jury votes, including a vote from the well known artist " Robert Henri ".
Since " Joseph " passed away late in 1918 he was never able to send anymore of his paintings to exhibitions. It wasn't until the 1930's that his work really began to receive general recognition.
" Joseph's " paintings now hang in the New York Museum of Modern Art in New York City, & the Newark Museum in Newark, NJ. His most famous painting is that of " Manchester Valley " ( " See Appendix B " - click here ) which is a painting of the old New Hope High School.
During 1990, it was brought to my attention that a " study " of this painting was being sold by an art gallery in New York City. I believe that " Joseph ", being an untrained artist, would have never made a study & therefore feel this to be a fake. The selling price was over $100,000.00.
The titles of the other paintings that the author is sure are his works include " Coryell's Ferry " and " Washington under the Council Tree ". It is also " possible " that the work titled " Houses by a stream, Lambertville " is one of his paintings however I'd have to see the original to be sure ....
Other paintings that have surfaced that are claimed to be his work include " Red House on the Hill ", " Houses by a stream Lambertville ", and " Sunset on the Lehigh Canal, New Hope ". These two have not, as yet, been verified to the satisfaction of the author as " Joseph's " originals.
" Joseph Pickett ( 9 ) " passed away on December 12, 1918 at the age of 70 years, 8 months, and 16 days in New Hope, Pennsylvania and his funeral was held in New Hope, with interment on December 17, 1918 in the Hulmeville Cemetery in Hulmeville, Pennsylvania.
His wife, Emily, died in 1929 at the age of 81 and was interred next to her husband. They also have a footstone on their grave. There is no known photograph of Joseph, however he and his brother " John S. Pickett ( 8 )" were said to look just like twins. A photo of " John " ( 8 ) is shown above. " Joseph " and Emily never had any children.

" Edward Dunlap Pickett ( 2 ) " and " Catherine Conver Pickett "

in New Hope, Pennsylvania.
" Isabella " was married twice.
She was first married to " John C. Holcombe " who was born in ca. 1838 in Pennsylvania the son of David and Mercy P. Holcombe. They had two known children together.
" Great Sadness " engulfed this young family when " Matilda C. Holcombe ( 29 ) " passed away on September 16, 1870 at the age of 1 year, 2 months, and 27 days. She was interred in the Mount Hope Cemetery, Lambertville, New Jersey.
" John C. Holcombe " preceded his wife in passing away on April 18, 1872 at the age of 34 and he was interred in the Mt. Hope Cemetery, Lambertville, New Jersey close to his daughter " Matilda ( 29 ) ".
" Isabella " then married " Charles T. Kitchin " as the book titled " History of Bucks County " notes [ written by Battle, page 1095 ].
" Charles " was born in ca. 1847, his parents however are currently unknown. This same book mentions that " Charles T. Kitchin " had a stepson named " Joseph Holcombe ( 30 ) " which further assures this marriage. She must have married " Charles " in ca. 1875. " Charles " had been a soldier during the Civil War and is believed to have been a First Lieutenant in the 38th New Jersey Infantry.
" Charles T. Kitchin " had also been previously married however his wife's name is currenly unknown. He had one son during this marriage, " Elmer Alfred Kitchin (30x) ", and based on dates it would appear the his mother either died during child birth or shortly after. " Elmer (30x) ", who was born in 1874 and would have been 6 years old at this time, is not shown residing with them in the 1880 census. He was more than likely residing with his mom's family.
In the 1880 Federal Census ( Recorded: June 3, 1880 ) they are shown residing in a home on Mechanic Street, New Hope, Pennsylvania. " Charles " is noted as being a 33 year old " Wood Turner " and " Isabella " is noted as a 28 year old

" Charles T. Kitchin " preceded his wife in passing away on November 23, 1887 at the age of 40 and was interred in Mt. Hope Cemetery, Lambertville, New Jersey near " Isabella's " first husband John.
Sadly ..... most of the " 1890 Federal Census " materials were destroyed in a 1921 fire and none of the information for the State's of New Jersey, Maryland, Pennsylvania or Delaware survived the fire.
" Great Sadness " again engulfed this family when " Burleigh J. Kitchin ( 32 ) " passed away on November 7, 1895 at the age of 18. He was interred in the Mount Hope Cemetery, Lambertville, New Jersey.
In the 1900 Federal Census ( Recorded: June 2, 1900 ) " Isabella " is noted as a 48 year old " Widow " residing in a home on South Main Street, New Hope, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. She is noted in the census of being the mother of " 12 " children with only " 7 " currently surviving.
Two of those listed below that are not surviving are " Matilda C. Holcombe ( 29 ) " who passed away in 1870 and " Burleigh J. Kitchin ( 32 ) " who passed away in 1895 which would indicate that she had " 4 " other children whose names are unknown and possibly passed away at childbirth.
Residing with " Isabella " in 1900 are " 3 " of her children and " 1 " grandchild :
Eva Kitchin ~ ( Age 18 )
Jessie Kitchin ~ ( Age 15 )

Children's Notes: ~ ( other than those color coded above )
( 194 ) ~ Lawrence " Larry " Jay Gorrell was killed when a car left the road and hit him while he walking on the shoulder.
He was in the full time Navy service at the time.
A photo of him with his brother " John ( 193 ) " is shown as part of " John's" record.
My Aunt lived in a house that is close to where the current post office is located in New Hope, Pennsyvania.
Her kitchen table sat infront of a large picture window where she would sit in the evenings drinking coffee and watching the traffic coming down the hill to the west of her home.
Her son " Larry " was serving in the Navy in 1972. He got off his ship in San Francisco, California for a 30 leave. He first thought about getting a plane ticket back home but decided to go across country by bus and also by hitching a ride when he could so that he could see more of the U.S. and he phoned his Mom to let her know.
On the night of September 22, 1972 while sitting at her table she saw a car accident just after dark on the hill. She called the accident into the police and reported that someone had run off the road and hit a telephone pole. She watched as the fire trucks, ambulance, and tow truck came and walked down asking one of the firefighters there what had happened. He told her that a man that was by himself had run off the road and hit the pole and he had hit and cut his head but would be alright. She was relieved and went back home.
About 3 hours later, and after getting ready for bed, she glanced out the window and she noticed another ambulance appear at about the same area and she wasn't sure why but watched until it left. About two hours later she was woken up by a phone call telling her that her son " Larry " had been in a car wreck and that he was hurt and was at the hospital. She went to the hospital and " Larry " died not long after mid-night from his injuries.
As the night wore on she heard from the doctor that if it had not taken so long to get him to the hospital they may have been able to save him. She asked the doctor what he meant and why did it take so long. He stated that a man was in a car accident just west of New Hope and after he was brought to the hospital he asked, " How is the guy that was walking along the road that I hit? " .... The doctor, not knowing what he was talking about, requested that another ambulance go back to the scene to see what they could find. They found " Lawrence 'Larry' Jay Gorrell ( 154 ) " about 30 foot away from where the car had hit him and the pole.
" Margaret " was stunned .... she not only watched the accident but was within feet of her dying son .....

" " Russ " followed her to the front door and she said, " There is a bus of 40 senior citizens outside that want to tour the house and you are going to give some of them the tour .... there just too many for us to do them. "
So " Russ " gave two groups of them a tour through the house. The older folks, of course, thought it was cute and liked asking questions to this young man. At the end of one of the tours that he gave a man said to Mrs. Haas, " Every question we asked about the home this young man knew the answers. " Mrs. Haas replied with a laugh, " I think he actually knows more about the house than I do ... "
" Russ " has gone through his life with a love of history more than likely due to him growing up in Odessa ... whether its Odessa History, Delaware History, U.S. History, World History, Biblical History, or any history ... He has created " over a thousand webpages on this site about history ! ".
" Russ " was first married to " Diane Sue Collison " on November 6, 1971 in St. Luke's Methodist Church in Denton, Maryland. " Diane " was born on December 30, 1952 in Milford, Delaware the daughter of " Albert Roland Collison " and

Separation of this marriage took place with " Diane " leaving on July 13, 1991 and was ended by divorce on May 21, 1992. " Diane " and " Russ " had two sons together, " Christopher Scott " and " Ryan Mark Pickett ".
" Russ " then met and had a relationship with " Ruth Elizabeth Hardy " in September, 1991. Together they had twin daughters, " Kayla Grace " and " Kara Virginia Pickett ".

He was then a part time school bus driver with the " Hilton Bus Service " in Camden, Delaware for two years when he suffered a " Heart Attack " in " 2007 " ..... when the doctor talked with my wife he noted to her, " You should know that your husband's Heart Attack is pretty severe ... you should say to him what ever you need to say ! " ... But I survived ... and still here and kicking in " 2024 " !
" Russ " then, against the doctor's advice, drove a concrete truck with " Pioneer Concrete " of Cheswold, Delaware for the next 3 1/2 years.
" Russ " then worked as a driver for Westminster Village in Dover, Delaware for 4 years and " went into fulltime retirement on December 7, 2013 ". December 7th is now famous for three events ~ It's the day " Delaware " became the First State of the United States of America ~ it's " Pearl Harbor Day " ~ and " Russ Pickett's Retirement Day ! " ... Yeah ... I planned to retire on that day .....
In the past " Russ " also taught evening classes on " Introduction to Computers " and " Becoming a Manager " at the Groves Adult Education School in Woodside, Delaware for 10 years, was a Little League manager for 8 years, and a "Big Brother" for two years ( My little brother Chuckie had to move to Virginia ).

and Morgan Freeman ( who I talked with on the beach for about 30 minutes ) .....
" Sadly " I'd never do that again ..... It wasn't fun and I'm not a star struck person .....
