The following was brought to us and transcribed by Peggy Reid,

From the book: A Gathering of Picketts by Rosemary Beckham Hill and Dixie
Johnson Clark, 1998, but here goes with the shorter of the two, which is
Vol. I, Virginia and Kentucky.

Here are the names found:

Rhoades
  Edmond, page 93
  John, p. 308
  Theodosia, p. 373

Rodes
  James C.  366, 167

Here are the references:

Essex Co., Virginia (now Essex Co.):
The Essex Period, More Families Living on Piscataway Creek, names the
authors found in their search for a marriage partner or family connection to
John Pickett.  (Piscataway Creek is somewhat near Millers Tavern in my Rand
McNally atlas.)

Rhoades
  Edmond, page 93 -
1695  Samuel Henshaw vs. Edmond Rhodes, debt.  Estate appraised by:  William
Constantine, William Price & Jeffry Dyer.

  John, p. 308 -

Rhodes & Joseph Jones, SCC (SSLG 91-A)  [Ed. note:  see also N. C. Patent
Book 14:406].

  Theodosia, p. 373
Page 373 is missing from my book.  Page 372 & 374 related to Orange Co., NC.

Rodes
  James C.  366, 167
Indenture dated 15 April 1839.  Jeremiah Pickett and Rebecca, his wife, of
Fayette Co., KY sell to Peter Evans of Fayette Co., KY . . . . .  Produced
to James C. Rodes, County Clerk, Fayette Co., and Dower Released and
Recorded 15 April 1839.

Under Related Famlies, p. 373:

Orange Marriages before 1800:

James Riddle & Theodosia Rhodes  27 Nov 1788  B. Charles Neal.

The last page of this section, p. 390, indicates this is Orange Co.,
Virginia.  Perhaps if I was reading this from the beginning of the chapter,
it would have been clear this was Virginia.
