After thhis time, the history has many references to the Doans and the Pikes. For example, the earliest marked grave stone in the Cane Creek cemetary is that of Ruth Dixon Doan with the date of 1764 clearly visable. I don't know if Abagail Overman Pike was an ancestor to your husband, but their are many stories about her. She and and my ggggggggrandmothe Rachel Wright rode 200 miles on horseback in 1751 to the NC coast to get approval to establish a monthly meeting at Cane Creek. Today there are Pikes still living at Cane Creek. Abagail Pike was a Friends minister and would ride to the camps of the British and tthe Americans to preach to the troops. Legend has it that she was the only minister allowed within the lines. We know she was friends of General Nathaniel Greene, a Quaker and 2nd in command to George Washington. She later established New Garden Meeting in Greensboro, NC. I have many personal stories and history about her. But was she an ancestor of Elizabeth Pike? You will have to do a family tree to prove that. One of the histories of Cane Creek reads that both the Doans and The Pikes removed from Cane Creek to Indiana in the 1811 to 1840 time period. The slavery issue was the reason for the moves to the midwest in this time period. Howard Cook ************** A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!
