Hi gang, and Happy New Year (again)!
In the 1870 Wallace, Jackson, Fountain census, the Henry Wert family had two
extra people living in the household. One was John Picket(t), age 13 and one
was Martha Bell, age 17, both born Ohio. I have never been able to figure out
the relationship, and it occurred to me that people on the Fountain Co Board
might already know all about them.
I have a general question: Henry Wert was 65 years old in 1870 and I
wondered if a thirteen year old boy was a help on the farm? Or would he be more
trouble than help? This might help me answer if they took him in as an orphan or
if they sort of hired him for food and board.
There is a tree on Rootsweb, and it looks promising, but I can't get it to
correspond to census images.

Is anybody researching the Picketts, and if so, can you tell me when John
Pickett b,. 1857-or 1858 Ohio died? (He is buried in the Alamo Cemetery) Who
he married or anything?
His brother was supposed to have been William, and his mother and father
were supposed ot have been Samuel and Charlotte (Craig) Pickett (maybe on all of
it).
I am interested in him (and Martha Bell) because I believe one or both is a
niece and a nephew of Henry Wert's wife, Isabella, and I have never been able
to figure out her maiden name.
Any help is appreciated,
Suzy Wert
