  	The official date for the 1800 Census is 4 August, 1800. On this census his name was spelled 'William Pickle.' There is one male between 16 and 25; William would have been 24. There are three females: one under 10, one between 10 and 15 and one 16-25 (this was probably Elizabeth Wilson Pickle who would have been 18). Three lines down there appears to be a James Wilson. If so, could this have been Elizabeth's father? Click here to read 1800 Census.

• Notes

  William Chesley Pickle, left the Anderson District of South Carolina before the Civil War, on October 11, 1859 and "landed" in Anderson County Texas on November 25, 1859 some forty-six days later according to written notes by his grandson. Several additional family members and other founding families of Anderson County made that same trip. Fortunately for his descendants, that journey by wagon trail was just the beginning of the bold investments in Texas made by the Pickle clan. William Chesley first purchased land near what is now called Pert where he farmed and opened a way station for an early stage line, building a bridge across Brushy Creek that is still known as Pickle Bridge. William Chesley was an also an accomplished blacksmith and secured a patent on a seed planter. William Chesley had a large family of fifteen children. His fourth child, James Albert Pickle, moved further west to what was then known as Liberty Springs on Otter Creek (now Bois d'Arc) and purchased several hundred acres of land. James Albert had thirteen children, many of whom also settled in this area. The second of James Albert's children, Albert Welborn Pickle born in 1874, acquired several tracts of land in the Springfield community (two miles west of his parents' land). Each generation has continued to add to that parcel of land. Albert Welborn's property was passed along to his only son, Hampton Pierce Pickle. Hampton and his wife Ruffie Brasfield Pickle farmed the land, and it flourished and grew under their hard work and determination. The land continued to pass along to their heirs, and now, Albert Welborn's grandson, Mike Pickle, and his wife Lyzz still live on a portion of the original property, their own 117-acre Pickle Farms. They are adjoined by tracts of land still held by Mike's siblings.
