Note on Husband: Richard PICKETT
On August 17 1816 Richard Pickett seems to have been made Freeman of Exeter by order of the mayor and council of Exeter. He was master of the Blue Boys, and had been so since about 1812. The Blue Boys were pupils of St. John's Hospital School., a charitable institution which stood near the present day corner of High Street and Princesshay, near the site of the old East Gate. Richard gave evidence to a Parliamentary Commission examining Corpoate Offices and Charitable Funds. his evidence was given in February 1821, and was published in 1834.. He stated that he was respomsible for the education of the charity children, and that there were a further 50 boys who were educated by his son.
