Notes for ABRAHAM PICKERING:
Pickerington ---originally called Jacksonville in honor of Andrew Jackson. It was laid out by Abraham Pickering and established on September 11, 1815. In 1827, by a special act of the state legislature, the name was changed to Pickerington. It was incorporated May 30, 1881.
Abraham Pickering who laid out Pickerington, Fairfield County, Ohio giving a site for a church, schoolhouse, and cemetery, was the eldest son of William Pickering and Barbara Woodley and was born near Newmarket, Rockingham County, Virginia, July 8, 1776, only four days after the signing of the Declaration of Independence.His Wife, Ann Looker was born in Rockingham County, Virginia.Ann was his first cousin, once removed.Their common ancestor was Thomas Looker.They were married in 1799 in Rockingham County, Virginia.They emigrated to Ohio in 1806 and settled in Fairfield County. They brought with them their little daughter Elizabeth and son James, the latter being but six years old.To them were born eight children: Elizabeth, who became the wife of Thomas Morton; James who married Catherine Williams, Mary, who became the wife of Mathias Swayze; Jonathan, who married Cyrene Miller; Jacob and Daniel, both of whom died in early manhood; and two others who died in childhood.
In 1815, Abraham Pickering acquired the land that Pickerington was laid out on from James Looker, his father-in-law who had acquired the land 1 May 1811.After it had been sufficiently cleared, Pickering proceeded to lay out the town.For a time the town had no name, but when news came to the settlement of General Andrew Jackson's victory over the British at the Battle of New Orleans, Pickering promptly gave the village the name of "Jacksonville" in honor of "Old Hickory."The first plat of Jacksonville was filed at Lancaster, Fairfield County, Ohio, on September 15, 1815.The 1820 census found 49 people in Jacksonville.Twelve years later, the citizens of the village, wishing to honor Abraham Pickering for his generosity and his regard for the public welfare, petitioned the state legislature to change the name from "Jacksonville" to "Pickerington."This was done by a special act of the state legislature in 1827.
For a time, the people of Pickerington, Fairfield County, Ohio met to worship in log cabins.In 1811 Methodism was recognized in this area by the Ohio conference.In 1833 a lot was donated for two dollars by Abraham Pickering and Ann Looker.On this lot the First Methodist Church which was the first church in Pickerington and Violet Township, Fairfield County, Ohio was constructed.A second church was built in 1883.The present building was completed in 1951 and the same glass window which was in the 1883 church is in the present church and is used as a night light.
Ann Looker was the daughter of James Looker whose children established homes along Sycamore Creek.The Pickering homestead is now owned by the village of Pickerington, and the municipal office for the village is located on this property at 500 Hereford Drive.It has subsequently been destroyed.
