I have recently come across new information that might be helpful. I found out that the birth year of 1811 might not be very accurate. A cemetery listing listed him as being born Nov. 29, 1798/1800. Will this fit in anywhere? Also, a relative did the DNA test, and when searching for Pickering's in matching family trees, one had William and Barbara Woodley as ancestors. However, the relationship could be more distant than that.
