FRANCIS MARION PICKETT
Our scribe.
Francis Marion Pickett
Francis Marion Pickett was not a writer, and the content of his letter is not of any particular significance. Yet it is invaluable to those who secured its passage to the current Pickett generation. In this unique family relic from centuries past, is the foundation of the Scrolls of Legacy. As the founders, we wanted to build and provide a tool that would allow others to save and access personal archives like the letter that so strongly connected us to our own ancestry.
The letter that sparked the inspiration.
Francis Marion Pickett was born August 5th, 1843 in Monroe County, Illinois. He enlisted in the Illinois Infantry on March 3, 1864 as a Private. He was then captured on July 22nd, 1864 during the Battle of Atlanta and died of scurvy while a prisoner of war in Andersonville, GA.
Francis Pickett’s letter was written three months before his death and sent from Acworth Cobb County, GA, just northwest of Atlanta, to his brother, John Monroe Pickett, and John’s wife, Sarah Ann Vernatti Pickett.
