MICHAEL BICKETT
Michael (Elizabeth Erskine), who lived on the flat-topped mountain which
bears the family name, was probably a son of an older Michael, who died in
this county in 1814. Thomas (Mary) and John (Margaret), who also lived in
this neighborhood between 1800 and 1810, seem to have been other sons.
Michael, Jr., was found in a dying condition in his field early in May, 1858.
C: James H. (b. 1798)-William-Catharine (Joseph Perry)-Henry-John
L.-Jean-Benjamin L. (b. 1814). These births took place between 1798 and
1814. James H. (Polly Tapscott) lived on the homestead but had no family.
C. of William (Nancy Boyd) : Catharine (1836-1857) (s)-Elizabeth (Joshua
Leach, Matthew Walkup)-Michael (1831-1888) (s)-James D. (s).
Thus by failure in the male line the surname has become extinct. Michael, son
of William, died an hour before his mother and both are buried in one grave.
