Elam Pike, farmer and stock-raiser, was born in Stokes County, N. C., Feb. 5, 
1827, a son of Nathan and Mary (Nubey) Pike, who were natives of North 
Carolina, of Irish origin. They were the parents of eight children, of whom 
five are deceased. Mrs. Pike died in 1830, and in the fall of 1831 Mr. Pike 
emigrated with his family to Wayne County, Ind., and a year later purchased 
the farm now owned by our subject. He was again married in 1832 or 1833 to 
Mary Baldwin, a native of North Carolina, who died in 1845. Nathan Pike 
resided on the farm till his death, in 1866. He was an active minister in the 
Society of Friends. Our subject was reared on the farm where he still resides, 
and received a limited education in the schools of New Garden Township. He was 
married Oct. 25, 1854, to Anna, daughter of Isaac and Tamar (Hawkins) 
Reynolds, who came to Wayne County from South Carolina among the early 
settlers. Of the six children born to this union four survive---Phoebe Ann, 
Lydia Ellen, Mary and Linley. Nathan and Wilson died in infancy. Mrs. Pike 
died Aug. 2, 1879. Mr. Pike and family belong to the Society of Friends.
