John, a successful merchant, was the son of John Pickett Sr.,and Elizabeth Ives. He married Ruth Brewster about 3/14/1651, probably by Mr. Winthrop. Unfortunately, there are no written records to substantiate the date. The Mayflower "Birth & Death" records do document the children of John and Ruth. They had three sons and three daughters.
Sadly, John died at sea, returning from Barbados. At the time of his death, his estate was sufficient enough to rank him as one of the wealthiest merchants in New London.
After his death, Ruth married Charles Hill on July 18,1668 (findagrave.com)
