Jerry,´uª0 ´uª0 just a minor point´uª0 ´uª0 and a little pedantic,´uª0 ´uª0 but something´uª ´uªyou´uª0´uª ´uª0 might´uª ´uªwant to´uª ´uªcheck´uª0 ´uª0 out, is that´uª0 ´uª0 as far as I´uª0 ´uª0 know there is no´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªBridgewater in´uª0 ´uª0 Wiltshire´uª ´uª(unless it´uª0 ´uª0 was a small farm or´uª0 ´uª0 something).´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªThe´uª0´uª ´uª0 most likely location´uª0 ´uª0 for´uª ´uªBridgewater´uª0´uª ´uª0 would be´uª0 ´uª0 Bridgwater (without´uª0´uª ´uª0 the e) which is in´uª0 ´uª0 Somerset. :)

´uª0 Pike was born in Wiltshire, England. He came to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uª1635´uª0´uª ´uª0 with his father, John Pike (1572-1654), who first settled in Newbury. In 1665,´uª0´uª ´uª0 acting on´uª0´uª ´uª0 the invitation of Governor Philip Carteret, a number of Newbury´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªresidents formed a´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªcorporation to settle in Woodbridge, named after Rev. John´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªWoodbridge, a Newbury´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªclergyman.[1]
´uª0 The younger John Pike, one of the original nine "associates" of Woodbridge, was´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªgranted´uª ´uªsome 300 acres (1.2 km2) in Woodbridge in 1665, more than the common´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªfreeholders. He´uª ´uªwas "the prominent man of the town" in its early years. He was´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªelected´uª0 ´uª0 President of´uª ´uªWoodbridge, and in 1671 was appointed to the Governor's´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªCouncil. After´uª0 ´uª0 1675, he was´uª ´uªappointed captain of the militia, and afterward was´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªknown as Capt.´uª ´uª0 Pike.[2]
´uª0 In 1684, together with his son John, he was charged and convicted of possession´uª0 ´uª0 of´uª0´uª ´uª0´uª ´uªstolen goods, a felony. After his death, the New Jersey assembly passed an act´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªclearing´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªhis name, as well as one allowing his family to sue for defamation.[2] He´uª0´uª ´uª0 was well´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªrespected despite the felony conviction. After years of local leadership,´uª0´uª ´uª0 Pike was chosen´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªto represent the township in the colonial General Assembly ´uªthree´uª0´uª ´uª0 times: 1692-3, 1696,´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªand 1697-8
´uª0 Of the first group of New Englanders coming to their new home, the majority´uª0 ´uª0 came´uª0 ´uª0 from the vicinity of Newbury, Massachusetts. They named their new home´uª0 ´uª0 Woodbridge´uª0 ´uª0 in honor of Reverend John Woodbridge, the assistant pastor of their´uª0 ´uª0 Congregational´uª0 ´uª0 Church.
´uª0
´uª0 "An acknowledged author of early New Jersey history relates that Reverend John´uª0 ´uª0 Woodbridge came to the then unnamed Woodbridge area accompanied by five´uª0 ´uª0 men from´uª0 ´uª0 Massachusetts in the year 1661, three years earlier than any other´uª0 ´uª0 related incident´uª0 ´uª0 pertaining to our Township."
´uª0
´uª0 "The men who accompanied Reverend Woodbridge were John Martin, Hopewell´uª0 ´uª0 Hall,´uª0 ´uª0 John Pike, John and Charles Gilman. They built five log cabins and a many´uª0 ´uª0 sided log´uª0 ´uª0 house to he used as a church meeting place. These houses were´uª0 ´uª0 constructed in an area´uª0 ´uª0 which several years later was known as the "Kirk Green".´uª0 ´uª0 When the building activities´uª0 ´uª0 were completed, the group returned to´uª0 ´uª0 Massachusetts."
´uª0
´uª0 "ln 1663 they returned to this area bringing their wives end children. They sailed´uª0 ´uª0 by´uª0 ´uª0 boat to Elizabethtown and then set out on foot carrying bedding, furniture and´uª0 ´uª0 household equipment. It was a difficult journey over very rough overgrown´uª0 ´uª0 terrain.´uª0 ´uª0 Darkness overcame them before their arrival and when they reached the´uª0 ´uª0 log house,´uª0 ´uª0 weary and worn they retired forfeiting an evening meal."´/uª
