The life of Asa Pickering
Biography
Asa Pickering was born on December 19, 1765, to Benjamin and Marcy Pickering. A duplicate birth entry calls his mother Mary. He married Patience Mason on July 21, 1782. In his will of December 14, 1808, he provided for son Mason and other children and appointed his later wife Rachel executrix. The will was proved on May 23, 1809.
His death is bounded by his December 14, 1808 will and its probate on May 23, 1809; neither record establishes an exact death day.
