Timothy Pickering

Last updated

In 1799 Fort Pickering in Salem, Massachusetts was named for him. [19]

In 1942, a United States Liberty ship named the SS Timothy Pickering was launched. She was lost off Sicily in 1943.

Until the 1990s, Pickering's ancestral home, the circa 1651 Pickering House, was the oldest house in the United States to be owned by the same family continually.
