  Some of our Picken data comes from from work done by Lehlah Belle West b.1879 writing in 1957, in combination with the information in George Picken's Will from 1803. Some individual dates have been gleaned from the Internet, however. The George Picken family moved from Buckhannon, Upshur County, West Virginia to Carthage Township, Hancock County Illinois in 1867.
