ANTHONY PICKERING I and DAVID PICKERING youngest sons of William Sr. and Janet Anderson Pickering. Anthony Pickering I and David Pickering met untimely deaths. As the Pickerings were a sea-faring lot, one immediately considers the possibility of them being lost at sea. However, no proof exists to substantiate such a theory. All that is known in regard to David and Anthony is what is contained in an article of an August 16th, 1823 issue of the Prince Edward Island Register asking for the settlement of their estates:

ANTHONY PICKERIN G II

Anthony Pickering II, son of William I and his second wife, Mary Smith, was probably born in the late 1820’s. Like his mother, he seems to drop from view after the death of his father. It may have been William Sr.’s second marriage, and the subsequent birth of Anthony, which led

to the poor relations between William I and William 11.

CLARK, JOHN C.

In 1870 and 1873, John C. purchased two acreages from Anthony Pickering that extend- ed north from Pickering’s Point now Clark’s Point, south extending to the New London Road. In addition he purchased 71 acres from leaseholder Thomas Vincent which he later sold to John Dickieson. In all John C. Clark farmed 321 acres.
