It is currently unknown whether there are any living Y-DNA descendants of John Pickett. All too often the male Pickett's of this line died comparatively young, and only having one or two sons of their own. Attempts to trace the family beyond the third generation have not (to date) yielded any concrete results.

Status summary

Completed as of February 25, 2021

  • Recruiting direct male-line descendants of John Pickett for further SNP testing - anyone interested in submitting their DNA for testing should contact Raymond T. Wing (email: wing.genealogist AT gmail DOT com)
  • Pickett DNA Project Administrator of this project has been contacted for information on Y-DNA Haplogroup of this family.

Still to do as of February 25, 2021

  • NGS/WGS test results for descendants of John Pickett to confirm assignment as well as test descendants to discover any subclades unique to descendants lines
