      Edward (1) was born in the State of New Jersey, place unknown in 1806.   Nothing is known about his parents or siblings.   He first shows up in New Hope in the 1840 census (which notes his birth and that of his wife's in New Jersey).   The last census in which he appears is the census of 1880 which recorded that he resided on Main Street in New Hope.   He married "Catharine Conover" who was born in 1809 in New Jersey. She is believed to be the dau of either Albert or Thomas Conover, and she also appears in the 1840 thru 1870 census' as his wife.   Nothing further is known about her mother or siblings.
      Edward (1) was employed as a Ship Builder.   According to his estate settlement he owned his own Boat Yard Lot in New Hope.   His buiness must have been profitable since he not only owned his own Boat Yard (which comprised three separate lots) but also four houses and three other lots.
      Catharine passed away in 1875 and was interred in the Mount Hope Cemetery, Lambertville, NJ.   Edward (1) died on Friday, October 12, 1888 in his home in New Hope.   He was interred in the Mount Hope Cemetery, Lambertville, NJ on Tuesday, October 16, 1888 beside his wife.   He was 81 years old at the time of his death.   ( A short obituary, his Estate Settlement and funeral costs can be seen in "Appendix A" - Click Here ).   In the 1880 census Edward (1) notes himself as a widow and also that his son Joseph (8) along with his 1st wife Ema were living with him.

      Sarah, (5) was born the 4th child & 2st dau of Edward (1) & Catherine (Conover) Pickett in ca. 1837 presumably in PA.   She married "Samuel Buchanan".   She purchased a house and lot fronting on the west side of New Street in New Hope, Pa. from her father Edward's (1) Estate.  ( see Edward's (1) estate settlement - "click here" )  Nothing further is known on this family.

      Jacob, (6) was born the 5th child & 2nd son of Edward (1) & Catherine (Conover) Pickett in Sept, 1841/42 presumably in PA.   He was married twice.   First to a "Margaret" or "Carry _____" who was born in 1851 in PA.   Margaret presumably died prior to December, 1890.  He then married "Clarissa H. Saxton" who was born in Mar, 1850.   The parents of both women are unknown at this time.
      The census of 1860 shows Jacob (6) at age 19 & being a "Boat Builder" with his father Edward (1).   The census of 1880 shows him residing on Main Street in New Hope.   Clarissa is shown as purchasing what was known as "The Homestead Lot" fronting on Main Street in New Hope, Pa. from her father-in-law Edward's (1) Estate during that settlement in December, 1890.

      Joseph, (8) was born the 7th child & the 4th son of Edward (1) and Catherine (Conover) Pickett in March, 1848.   He was born in New Hope based on the census of 1850.   He was married twice.   He first married "Ema _____" who was born in ca. 1855.   It is unknown what happened to his 1st wife however she and Joseph (8) were living with his father Edward (1) in 1880.   He later married 2nd to "Emily Mary Terry" on February 4, 1890 in Vincentown, NJ.    Emily was born the dau of Walter W. & Sara Jane (Flood) Terry in January or early February, 1848.
      During Joseph's (8) early life he was a canal "boatbuilder", learning the trade of carpentry from his father.   He resided on Main Street according to the Census of 1880, with his father Edward (1) and his 1st wife Ema.   He probably lived with his father until his father's death in 1888.   He later became a "Storekeeper" or merchant in a store on Bridge Street that was along the canal, in a building still standing (2005).   He moved to a house, also on the canal on Mechanic Street which is also still standing, & serves as a store (2005).   Joseph is said to haunt that house to this day.  ( "See Appendix B" - click here )
      While running his store on Bridge Street, Joe (8) started, without ever having a lesson, to paint landscapes.   It is believed that he started painting in his late 50's or early 60's.   Joe's (8) paintings are basically in the style used by Grandma Moses, that is, most things painted were simplistic & out of scale, however they were rich with colors.
      Joseph's (8) 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 (8), 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" & "Washington under the Council Tree".
      Other paintings that have surfaced that are claimed to be his work include "Red House on the Hill" & "Sunset on the Lehigh Canal, New Hope".   These two have not, as yet, been verified to the satisfaction of the author as Joe Pickett (8) originals.
      In the 1890's, Joe (8) 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 & parks around the county until his marriage.   After his marriage, he led a more stay-at-home life.
      Joseph (8) inherited some money of an unknown amount from his father Edward's (1) Estate.  ( see Edward's (1) estate settlement - "click here" )  Joseph Pickett (8) died on December 12, 1918 at the age of 70.  His funeral was held in New Hope, with interment in the Hulmeville Cemetery in Hulmeville, Pa.   His wife, Emily, died in 1929 at the age of 81 & is interred next to her husband.   They also have a footstone on their grave. There is no known photograph of Joseph, however he & his brother "John S. Pickett" (7) were said to look just like twins.   A photo of "John" (7) is shown above.   Joseph & Emily never had any children.

      Isabella, (9) was born the 8th & last child & 4th dau of Edward (1) and Catherine (Conover) Pickett on September 14, 1851.   She appears to have been born in New Hope based on the census of 1860.   Isabella (9) was married twice.   She first married "John C. Holcombe" who was born in ca. 1838.   They had two known children together. John died on April 18, 1872 at the age of 34 and was interred in the Mt. Hope Cem., Lambertville close to his dau Matilda (31).
      Isabella (9) then married "Charles T. Kitchin" as the book titled "History of Bucks County" [written by Battle, page 1095] shows.

She must have married Charles in ca. 1873.
      Charles was a soldier during the Civil War and is believed to have been a 1Lt. in the 38th New Jersey Infantry.   Charles died on November 23, 1887 at the age of 40 and was interred in Mt. Hope Cem., Lambertville near Isabella's (9) first husband John.   Isabella (9) died on April 8, 1930 at the age of 78 and was interred by her second husband Charles.
