I am not familiar with any of the names you included but am thrilled to see 28 McPike references on the website you listed. The McPike name seems to be fairly rare, at least in the sources I've been able to access as yet, so I always am grateful when its included in any database or book. My Hugh McPike is said to have left Ireland about 1796 (though I've found no hard evidence to support) but he certainly may be in some way related to this family. I was not aware of Hugh being a nickname for Eugene so that could be important to know also. Unless you have a Hugh/(Eugene) McPike b abt 1760-1790 or Mary Ann Crawford about the same time, or Thomas Pike b abt 1730, in your tree, I don't know that we could tie these folks together just yet. I definately appreciate the information however, and its quite possible further research will determine a relationship. Thanks very much and hopefully we can connect the dots.
