Captain William Sanford Pickett was born in Fauquier County, Virginia to William Pickett and Martha Sanford in 1732. William Pickett was the son of John Pickett, son of Henry Pickett, the master cupper and may have been a medical man. “Old Henry” is the earliest Pickett ancestor arrival to America that we know of. Henry Pickett may have been the son of Captain William Pickett, who was exiled to America by The Church of England for his religious practices.

Capt. William Pickett had been a member of the Virginia Company and arrived in Virginia on the 15th of May 1635 on the “Plain Joan” at the age of 50.

Returning to London, he died in 1640, leaving his wife Sarah and three sons: John, who was a judge in Plymouth colony; William, born about 1600 in Lon­don and of whom we know nothing; and Henry. We know that family legends suggest one of the brothers had lands in what would become North Carolina.
