He was of Salisbury when he died, May 26, 1654[S]; will May 24, Oct. 3, 1654. JOHN1 PIKE, of White Parish, Wilts, m. Jan. 17, 1612-3, Dorothy Day, of Landford, at White Parish, Wilts., Eng. Children*: John, Robert, Dorothy, Israel, Ann. "Langford" may be Landford. [ref 36:285,864] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - John Pike, first of the line in America who came to this country, sailing from Southampton April 6, 1635, in the ship "James," Capt. Cooper, arriving in Boston on Monday, August, 1635. James S. Pike in "The New Puritan," says with wife Sarah. What authority he has for making the statement his wife's name was Sarah or that his wife came with him, I do not know. I believe it was based upon the record of the death of Sarah Pike at Newbury, Nov. 19, 1659, and she was presumed to be his wife because her name was not given among his son's, Capt. John Pike's children, but as he died May 26, 1654, and having made his will not mentioning any wife, such presumption cannot be maintained. The early Newbury records are quite complete and they do not record the death of his wife, so without any further evidence one would conclude she died before he came to this country. He settled at first in Ipswich but after a short stop at that place removed to Newbury and settled on the banks of Parker river and was made freeman in 1642. He was a highly educated man and wrote a fine hand, unknown among the uneducated of his times and left his country at the time of the great Reformation, and has often been classed as among the many "dissenters" who left their native land for the "Freedom to worship God." Quoting from the history of the Pike family-- "He was a man of pronounced opinions, bold in his assertions, but as history has shown, educated a lawyer, he undoubtedly knew how to keep within the bounds of prudence in his intercourse with the element of the times. It must be remembered that the Church and State were practically the same in those days and that the laws of the land were largely scriptural, and that law was argued from a Bible standpoint; he was conversant with theological reasonings and as the theological reasonings for the preservation of peace as adopted by the lawyers and the theological reasonings for the salvation of souls as adopted by the ministry, must differ in some of their essential points, is it to be wondered at that on May 5, 1638 after having listened for a time to a certain discourse, "It is ordered that John Pike shall pay two shillings and six pence for departing from the meeting without leave and contemptuously," and before this, Feb. 24, 1638, John Pike, Robert Pike and three others were fined two shillings and six pence apiece for being absent from town meeting at eight o'clock in the morning, having had due and fit warning." But he must have risen high in the esteem of his fellow citizens, for in 1647, he was one of the chosen to administer "the prudential affairs of the town," and in 1648 to "end small causes" which he did in an exemplary manner as the court records show. His will was probated Aug. 3, 1654, in which he mentions daughters Dorothy, who married Daniel Hendrick, Ann who married John Fiske, Israel, who married Henry True, and sons John and Robert.
