Grandparents of our William Henry and bro. John/Johannes Pickard:

How in the world did the Pickard family get to America?

Bartholomew PICKERT [PICKARD] Bartholomew was a soldier and emigrant to the colony of New York. He was born at Leicestershire, Leicester, England, and baptized in St. Martin’s, September 18, 1676. His parents were Bartholomew and Dorothy Dorothe-PICKARD.

In 1697, Bartholomew joined His Majesty’s Army and shipped out of Leicester, England with three companies of troops consisting of two hundred men to New York. They were deployed to protect the Northern Frontier from raids by the French and their Indian allies.

He was transferred to Schenectady near the end of 1698. It was here that he met and married a Dutch girl, Eechje [Eva] CLAES on November 12, 1698.

Eechje (Eva) CLAES had been born near Schenectady about 1680. Her father may have been Nicholas Claes. They were members of the (Quaker) Reformed Church of Schenectady County, New York.
