They married in Anderson Co., after F. M. came to the county in 1851. He engaged in farming and served through the war in Arkansas and Louisiana, as a Corporal in his Company.

William was born at Bradford, Anderson County, Texas, 4 June 1854, and lived within five miles of the spot ever since. His schooling facilities were poor, but he was a man of observation, and learned much from experience. He lived with his parents until his marriage, when he went to farming for himself. In 1875, he bought a farm, where he lived, adding 320 acres to it in 1882. He cleared and improved the land, adding good buildings, fencing 100 acres and putting 80 acres in cultivation and renting a portion of it out. In the years 1888 and 1889, he operated a mill and gin. He made an average of fifteen bales of cotton, plenty of corn, cane and stock and grew ample vegetables and meats for family use, and for the support of the farm.

His mother, Mary, died in 1883, dying in the faith of the Methodist Episcopal Church. His father remarried in 1887 and two children are of this union.

405 Willam and Elizabeth Wilson Pickel (spelling of his surname taken from his gravestone in the Big Creek Cemetery, Williamston, S.C.)

William Pickel was born in 1776, probably in Edgefield District of South Carolina. He married Elizabeth Wilson in that same district in 1800. William's ancestry is unknown, but may have been Low German, Dutch or Irish. Elizabeth's father is said to have came from Ireland, and served as a doctor during the American Revolution. William and Elizabeth had eight children, at least three of whom were born in Anderson County, where sometime after 1815 the family settled in Williamston.

William built a large two story house in Williamston, which later became a hotel. The house was on the street from town to the tannery and mill that the Pickel family owned. The house stood until sometime in the mid-20th Century. It was across the street from the Presbyterian Church. A new post office is built on the lot.

The Pickel families in Williamston were William and sons: Jacob, James Elbert, Crawford Wilson, William Chesley and Obadiah Ayres. Their daughters were Esther, Theresa, and Jane. Between the children, they owned most of the southern part of the town. Ownership of the tannery and mill is not clear. Eventually, the second son, James Elbert, owned the business, based on records found of real estate transactions.

The mill was powered by water from a canal that had been built alongside Big Creek which had been dammed. The tannery was downstream of the mill. Shoes were made for the Confederate Army during the War Between the States. According to the 1860 Census, two of William Pickel's neighbors were shoemakers.

William and his family were active in the Big Creek Baptist Church near Williamston, where both he and his wife are buried in an above-ground red brick vault in the cemetery. They lived to be ninety-one and eight-eight years of age respectively.

The family name has taken on spelling variations over the generations, with some lines going by "Pickell" or "Pickle." William and Elizabeth's name on their own tombstone in Big Creek Cemetery is spelled "Pickel."

In the late 1850's, three of William and Elizabeth's youngest sons and their families moved to East Texas, where they, along with several other Anderson County families, settled near Palestine, Anderson County, Texas, where many of their descendants live today.

William's two eldest sons, Jacob and James Elbert, remained in South Carolina, with their parents and continued the family tannery business. Jacob's descendents are mostly in Pickens County today, while James Elbert's descendents, with a spelling change to "Pickell," are in Greenville and Charleston. William and Elizabeth's daughters Esther and Theresa married William M. and James Anderson Cason respectively and Jane married Franklin Cobb. They all remained in the Anderson County (South Carolina) area.

416 A Lieutenant in the Revolutionary War from North Carolina, James EDMUNDSON, is listed in North Carolina Revolutionary, Soldiers, Sailors, Patriots, and Descendants Vol 1 page 69.

James married Penelope Stanton, and they had 13 children. Elizabeth, Mary (Polly), Patsy, Burrell, John, Cullen, Bryant, Martha, Laney, Penelope, Theophilus, Pearce, and Wright.

------------------------------

James and wife Penelope had a plantation of 1500 acres in Dobbs County south of Nahunta swamp now in northern Wayne and in Greene Counties. James Edmundson was appointed a 2nd Lieutenant of the 2nd Bn. From Dobbs County, volunteers to be raised for the aid of South Carolina. He later served in the American Revolution.

Bullhead, the name of James Edmundson's plantation, came about in an interesting way. When Cornwallis was coming through the county on his way to Peacock's Bridge and Yorktown, he and his troops approached the Edmundson plantation. Hoping to disperse the troops, the family turned out a large bull. However, the sight of the redcoats sent the bull into a frenzy. The soldiers killed him in the front yard, skinned him, took the meat and defiantly hung the bull's head to a large ash tree with iron spikes found in the blacksmith's shop near the house. Henceforth the plantation and now the township have been known as Bullhead.

After Jame's death in 1799, Penelope continued to manage the plantation and engaged in considerable buying and selling of land. In one deed in 1826, reference was made to "Penelope Edmundson, Planter". James and Penelope had twelve children, six sons and six daughters.

418 A Manning family researcher reports that Virginia's death was "due to tuberculosis." CORDON, Virginia Cecilia (I9674)
 
419 A Manning family researcher reports, "You might have noted that in the 1880 census, Robert is listed as Robert "G" Manning instead of the Robert "J" Manning found later.  This was not an error.  Per my understanding ,his name was actually changed, as you will find out this was not unusual in this family earlier on.  Children in the Manning family were allowed to choose their own middle names when they reached a certain age or maturity.  I'm not sure how long this continued though.  His original middle name was Gardner - but later, it was changed to James, presumably in honor of his father.  I have direct evidence of this Gardner name found in the probate records for his half-great uncle who was very interested in the  welfare of his nephew's children.

Robert was about 9 when his father appeared to have died rather unexpectedly and only left the family an estate of about $250.  The family had it rough, given some help by the county in the way of provisions.  He plied several blue-collar trades during his life including that of a salesman in a mercantile store, a carpenter and a fisherman.  For a short time, he lived in Texas with his son, William Robert Manning, but I have no other details concerning when or where... "
