I am looking for information on John M Pickett and Sallie A Pickett who came to Texas in 1852-1854. Sometimes the name is spelled Picket. I am trying to locate them in the Texas 1860 census and cannot find them. Sallie is in the 1870 Texas census in Grayson County with her children and is the head of household since John was killed in 1865. Any assistance would be appreciated.

I am not related.

The Pickett's may have been in Indian Territory at time of 1860 census ? Grayson county borders Oklahoma. Post Indian Territory OK counties that border Grayson are Marshall, Bryan and Choctaw.

Texas death certificates 1890 - 1976 and most US Census records.
