By 1880 Matilda had reverted to the last name Pickett for the census.

Her headstone says "Matilda (Driver) Crawford".

There is no actual town named Joppa. There is a Joppa Road, which runs from Florence up to what is now known as Beulah Beach. This beach is not far from the Cranberry Creek Cemetery. According to one knowledgeable local, there is a Venice Road which has been treated like a town. My assumption then is that the inhabitants of Joppa Road tended to use Joppa as we would use a town name.

    [Mr. Slocum must have died in 1858 or 1859, as Matilda has a one year old child with the name Eliza Slocum on the 1860 census.

    Further, they may have married sometime around 1850, as Matilda has a daughter named Mary Slocum, age 10, a son, J (or I) W Slocum, age 7, on the 1860 census.

    Of course, Mr. Slocum could have had a prior wife.]
