Pickens family of South Carolina

Note: This is just one of 410 family groupings listed on The Political Graveyard web site. These families each have three or more politician members, all linked together by blood, marriage or adoption.

Some families traditionally (and perhaps properly) considered separately are joined together here if linked by marriage or otherwise. These groupings -- even the names of the groupings, and the state or lists of states of main activity -- are the result of a computer algorithm, not the choices of any historian or genealogist.
