Am looking for parents and siblings & descendants of my earliest known ancestor, who are shown in the 1830, 1840, 1850 McNairy Co, Census. John is with his son Jacob in 1850 Henderson Co, TN Census.

PIKE, John b. 1807 TN 4. PIKE, Joseph b abt 1810 TN 5. PIKE Jacob b 1816 TN 6. PIKE, Rhoda (?) b 1822 TN There is finally a PIKE DNA Project in the works. David PIKE of Newfoundland has taken on this project. If anyone is interested, go to website and read all the information. Then send for your DNA kit! http://www.math.mun.ca/~dapike/family_history/pike/DNA/index.php?content=intro.html The DNA test will help us to learn for sure which PIKE line we belong to. No doubt there are many lines of PIKE families and you can spend lots of time trying to find the connection to the wrong line. My brother, John PIKE, had done the PIKE DNA Testing and it has proven that we are related to John PIKE, "The First" who landed in the Bay Colony in 1635. Trouble is, we need that paper trail to find our connection. Can anyone help? Peg Peggy Pike Gordon San Angelo, TX gordonclan@cox.net
