It is interesting to note that John Harrison of St. Philip, Barbados in his will 17 Aug. 1709 left "to my grand-daughter Mary Pickering, 20/" and "to my niece, Dorothy Pickering 20/" and the will was witnessed by John Pickering and William Pickering. How are these Pickerings connected (if at all) with Mary, wife of John?(2)

John died in Barbadoes while his younger children were small and his wife was granted the administration of his estate 4 Nov. 1707.
