Mary (FESTER) PIKE. James is in the household of his son-in-law and daughter, John & Telitha C. (PIKE) NEWSOME at Clapp’s Factory in 1850. Is he the James PIKE indexed on p. 168 of the 1860 census of Muscogee Co, GA? Henry MORRIS is also indexed on this page – is this Henry MORRIS who m. Adeline PIKE, and is James in their household? When and where did he die and where is he buried? Evidently, James is a widower as of the 1850 census. When and where did Mary die and where is she buried – could she be in the Clapp’s Factory Cemetery? [Winston PIKE says that James, father of Esau (b. 1805) also had sons Daniel (b. 1791) and Ezekiel (b. 1795). He shows this Daniel’s children as Z. C. PIKE (b. 1827), Y. W. PIKE (b. 1833), and R. PIKE (b. 1834), and that Ezekiel, who m. Malinda? (b. ca. 1817, had children as M. J. PIKE (b. 1836), Susannah PIKE (b. 1848), and George PIKE (b. 185! 3).] Esau PIKE (Sr.) – said to be a son of James above. Winston PIKE shows Esau’s dates as 1805-1878 – where did he die and where is he buried? Esau was married to Telitha (Esther?) “Leethy” (UNKNOWN) PIKE. They are said to have been in Carroll Co, GA, in 1850, per Charlotte (PIKE) CONWAY. Is she the Esther PIKE indexed p. 387 on the 1860 census of Muscogee Co, GA, and if so, is she a widow at that time? Also indexed on this page are their sons Liddleton and Pinkard. When and where did Leethy (Esther ?) die and where is she buried? Littleton and his brother William F. were detailed at the Grant Factory (formerly the Coweta Falls Factory) in Columbus in late 1863 and early 1864 during the Civil War. M. Adeline PIKE – (1826 Crawford Co, GA-1897 St. Clair Co, AL?), dau. of Esau and Talitha, m. 1844 in Muscogee Co, GA, to Henry MORRIS (1820 Elbert Co, GA- 1890 St. Clair Co, AL). If Esau and Talitha are in Carroll Co. in 1850, why did Adeline marry in Muscogee Co. in 1844 – was the family living there at that time? Are Adeline and Henry buried in St. Clair Co, AL? Mary C. MORRIS (1848-1852) - her parents, Henry & M. Adeline (PIKE) MORRIS, were residing at Clapp’s Factory in 1850. In 1860, they are indexed on p. 168 in Muscogee Co. (where in the county is this? – the upper 150s and lower 160s are known to be Clapp’s Factory, but the precise extent of the community is not clear, and it’s also not known if parts of the CF community appear in more than one section on the 1860 census). If Henry and Adeline were still at Clapp’s Factory when Mary died, it’s likely she is buried in the cemetery there. Henry served in Company E (Columbus Factory Guards) of the 19th Battalion of State Guards, which was formed in JUL or AUG 1863 for six months, so he would have been detailed at Clapp’s Factory at that time, and perhaps later. Note that Henry’s first cousin Richard Ivey MORRIS was buried there in 1888, and Richard’s son William Osborne MORRIS had been buried there, evidently between 1846 and 1850. If a MORRIS family plot had already been established in the cemetery before Mary died in 1852, she may have been buried there, even if her parents had already moved away from Clapp’s Factory by that time. James P. MORRIS (1855-1871) – son of Henry & M. Adeline (PIKE) MORRIS, who were in St. Clair Co, AL, by 1880 – I don’t know when they moved there or where they are on the 1870 census. If they were still in Muscogee County in 1871, it’s possible that James is buried at Clapp’s Factory. Patsy Jane (ALLGOOD) MORRIS – (1783-1869), wife of Daniel MORRIS (1780 Kent Co, DE-1866 Coosa Co, AL) – the parents-in-law of Adeline (PIKE) MORRIS. Did Patsy also die in Coosa Co, AL, or elsewhere? Where are she and Daniel buried? Joseph MORRIS – (b. 12 APR 1793 in Wilkes Co, GA), m. ca. 1818 Nancy ALLGOOD (b. 12 JAN 1781 Mecklenburg Co, VA). Joseph is thought to be son of Daniel’s brother Joseph and Nancy perhaps sister to Patsy. When and where did they die and where are they buried? (Their son Richard Ivey MORRIS is buried at Clapp’s Factory.) Joseph MORRIS – (24 MAR 1822 Walton Co, GA-aft. 1870 St. Clair Co, AL?), son of Daniel & Patsy (ALLGOOD) MORRIS, m. 1844 in Muscogee Co, GA, to Almenia R. CRAIG (b. ca. 1831 Jasper Co, GA). This couple were in Muscogee Co. in 1850 and had removed to St. Clair Co, AL, by 1870 – is this where they died and are buried? Talitha C. PIKE – (1827 Clarke Co, GA-aft. 1900), dau. of Esau and Talitha, m. 1845 in Harris Co, GA, to John NEWSOM (1820 Warren Co, GA-ca. 1895). Were Esau and Talitha living in Harris Co. in 1845? Talitha and John are said to be buried in the Clapp’s Factory Cemetery, according to family tradition. Other NEWSOM family members are known or believed to be buried there. John PIKE – b. ca. 1829 GA, son of Esau and Talitha, m. 1850 in Carroll Co, GA, to Caroline RUTLEDGE. Did this couple remain in Carroll Co, GA, or remove elsewhere? Lucinda PIKE – b. ca. 1828, said to be daughter of Esau and Talitha, m. 1847 in Upson Co, GA, to Elder SAWYER. Were Esau and Talitha residing in Upson Co. in 1847? Could Lucinda instead be daughter of Daniel and Sarah (WEBB) PIKE, Daniel having headed a household there in 1840 and having died in Upson Co. in 1845 (per Sharman HOPKINS)? Elder SAWYERS served in the 19th Battalion, Company A. “Eagle Guards” in late 1863 and early 1864, so he was detailed to the Eagle Mills in Columbus during that time. Erwin (or Ervin) PIKE – b. ca. 1830, son of Esau and Talitha. I have no further information on this individual after the 1850 census – what became of him? William F. PIKE – (ca. 1832-aft. 1880), son of Esau and Talitha, m. 1861 Muscogee Co, GA, to Lavinia THOMPSON. He is evidently the W. F. PIKE who served in the 19th Battalion, Company D “Grant Factory Guards,” so was detailed to service at the Grant Factory in Columbus 1863-64. William F. and “Louvenia” appear with their children on p. 385A of the 1880 census of Rock Mills, Randolph Co, AL – what became of them after that? James PIKE – b. ca. 1834, son of Esau and Talitha. He is apparently the James PIKE assigned to the 1st City Battalion, Georgia State Guards, Company F, so he was serving in Muscogee County. Could he be the James PIKE (age 45, b. GA) a laborer who heads a household on p. 12C of the 1880 census of Beulah, Lee Co, AL, with wife Mary (44, GA) and sons William (17, GA) and Willson (9, GA)? When and where did James die and where is he buried? Pinkard (Ansel?) PIKE – (ca. 1836-aft. 1880), son of Esau and Talitha, m. 1854 in Muscogee Co, GA, to Eliza Ann (C.?) BRANDON/BRANNON. Pinkard served in Company B of the 37th Georgia Infantry and in Company F of the 3rd Battalion of Georgia Infantry. He is transcribed as “Peter,” heading a household on p. 77A, in the 761st Georgia Militia District in Heard Co, GA, in 1880. What became of Pinkard and Eliza? Littleton “Litt” PIKE – (ca. 1836-aft. 1880), son of Esau and Talitha, m. 1854 in Muscogee Co, GA, to Julia Ann BRANDON/BRANNON. Litt served in the 19th Battalion, Company D “Grant Factory Guards,” so was detailed to service at the Grant Factory in Columbus 1863-64, and also served in Company F of the 3rd Battalion of Georgia Infantry. I have not located Littleton or Julia on the 1880 census – what became of them? Esau PIKE (Jr.) – (ca. 1838-bef. 1880), son of Esau and Talitha, m. 1860 in Muscogee Co, GA, to Rebecca THOMPSON. Esau served in Company B of the 37th Regiment of Georgia Infantry. He was dead by 1880, when Rebecca heads a household as a widow on p. 680A in Columbus, Muscogee Co, GA; the youngest child is six years old, suggesting that Esau died no earlier than about 1875. In 1888, Rebecca and her son Daniel were both residing on Van Buren St. in Brownville, Lee Co, AL (per city directory of Columbus, GA, for that year). The name of Brownville was changed to Phenix City in 1889. When and where did Esau and Rebccca die and where is each of them buried? Emeline PIKE – (b. ca. 1840), daughter of Esau and Talitha – no further data after she appears in their 1850 household. What happened to her? Caroline PIKE – (b. ca. 1842), daughter of Esau and Talitha – no further data after she appears in their 1850 household. What happened to her? Henry PIKE – (b. ca. 1844), son of Esau and Talitha. Probably the Henry PIKE who served in Company F of the 3rd Battalion of Georgia Infantry and was a Corporal in Company B of the 37th Regiment, Georgia Infantry. No further record – what became of him? George PIKE – (b. ca. 1844), son of Esau and Talitha. Probably the George PIKE who served in Company F of the 3rd Battalion of Georgia Infantry. My transcription of the 1850 household of Esau and Talitha in Carroll Co, GA, doesn’t show George with them – where was he then? What became of him? Zion PIKE (ca. 1821-1850), m. 1831 Butts Co, GA to Nancy MORRIS or NORRIS and said to be son of James PIKE above [if birthdates are correct, James would have been 53 when Zion was born]. His wife appears as a widow, age 40, on the 1850 census of the Ninth Land District (Georgia Militia District #921) in Muscogee Co, GA (p. 382B), and Sharman HOPKINS says Zion d. 1850 – did he die in Muscogee County, and where is he buried? When and where did Nancy (b. ca. 1810) die and where is she buried? Sarah (WEBB) PIKE, wife of Daniel PIKE who d. 1845 Upson Co, GA, is the widow Sarah PIKE, age 44, on the 1850 census of Columbus, Muscogee Co, GA (p. 320A), per Sharman HOPKINS. [Michael SULLIVAN says that Daniel is the son of John PIKE of Walton Co, GA. Winston PIKE says that James, father of Esau (b. 1805) also had sons Daniel (b. 1791) and Ezekiel (b. 1795).] Where is Daniel buried, and what became of Sarah? Zion Pate PIKE (ca. 1834 GA - d. 1895 Russell Co, GA) – is he buried there? He m. 1857 in Troup Co, GA to Sarah OWENS (1839 GA-29 OCT 1900 Phenix City, Russell Co, AL, where she is buried – at Pine Grove Cemetery?); the couple were living in Columbus, Muscogee Co, GA in 1880 (pp. 652C and 682C). Could he be a son of the elder Zion? Or of Daniel of Upson Co.? Note that their first daughter is named Lucinda – she married John A. COLE, a member of a Clapp’s Factory family, and they lived in Phenix City. Zion & Sarah’s other daughter, Elizabeth,m. Arthur O’NEIL settled in LaGrange, Troup Co, GA (see Christian Nathaniel below). Christian Nathaniel PIKE – (b. ca. 1828 GA) m1. 09 MAR 1848 in Muscogee Co, GA, to Maranda Angeline WEBB (ca. 1832 - 1857, buried at Shadow Lawn Cemetery in LaGrange, Troup Co, GA), m2. Elizabeth Jane (MOTLEY? – also buried at Shadow Lawn Cemetery in LaGrange, Troup Co, GA). Christian and Miranda appear with one child on the 1850 census of Harris Co, GA. Nearby are Thompson (29) and Vilo (29) PIKE with two children living with or next door to a MOBLEY household. Also nearby, William T. (45) & Elizabeth (47) [BROWN] PIKE are with or next door to John (22), Charles (17), and Annette (11), perhaps working on the farm of a GUERRY couple. Charles subsequently married my aunt, Elizabeth LAND. Christian fought with the 1st Light Duty Men, Company A and was said to have been killed – does anyone know where? Could he also be the C. N. PIKE who served in the City Battalion (Columbus), Georgia Infantry, Company B, during the War? Did he come down to Musc! ogee County from Troup County, and later go back up? His children are said to be living with William and Elizabeth PIKE in Harris Co, GA, in 1870. Again, I welcome any corrections or additional information on the above. I am working on a chronology of PIKE families and kin, which I will distribute when it is ready. Thanks for everyone for their contributions in the research of these folk. John Mallory Land 205 N.
