[ref 49:535] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Captain John Pike, second from American lines, settled in Newbury, Mass., where he married Mary Tarville or (Tarbell). (See Coffin's history of Old Newbury where he asks a grant of land for his brother, Thomas Tarville) Well educated, he soon became one of the leading men of the place, was educated a lawyer, was elected selectman in 1647-1648, was chosen to end small causes in the town during the years 1651-1654-1656-1657-1660; was elected deputy to the General court in 1657 and 1658, which position he most ably filled. He was educated a Congregationalist, but later in life became a Presbyterian. Quoting from the history--"When in Newbury there was a contention in the church regarding church discipline because the pastor and teacher had changed their minds after the first few years, from the Congregational to the Presbyterian form. It seems the matter was carried into court for adjustment, and he being summonsed as a witness testified 'That he was present at the gathering of the church of Newbury, and that he heard the pastor, Mr. Parker, preach from the eighteenth chapter of Matthew and 17th verse, wherein the preacher held forth that the power of discipline belonged to the whole church and he (John Pike) strongly favored his doctrine, he taking notes of what was said.'" Early in 1665 he removed to Woodbridge, N. J., and on May 21, 1866, articles of agreement were signed between Governor Carteret, John Pike, Abraham Tappan and Joshua Pierce in behalf of themselves and associates of Woodbridge and Piscataway, whereby a colony was established over which he was chosen Judge and Governor which position he held for many years. After his return to Newbury in 1671 he was chosen a member of Governor Cateret's council and in 1675 was appointed captain of the militia and by this appellation he was generally known. His first wife having died, he married, June 30, 1685, Elizabeth Fitz Randolph of Piscataway. He died in January, 1688-9, and his remains are buried in the Presbyterian cemetery at Woodbridge. His children were: Joseph, John, Hannah, Mary, John, Ruth, Samuel, Thomas, Sarah, a son.
