[or-roots] Wm. G. Pickett - Junction City, Oregon

[Leslie Chapman]

Pretty sure no connection to my line or Dale's. WG is listed as born in Tenn in 1880 census which finds him in Prineville as a "money lender"

apparently he must be WC listed in 1870 in Monmouth? Something doesn't add up, he is ten years too young to have been born in 1827. But in 1880 he has a wife Rachel. Confusing.
