Excerpt´uª0 ´uª0 from Bradbury´uª0 ´uª0 Memorial:
´uª0 "His biographer says´uª0 ´uª0 of Robert Pike that´uª0 ´uª0 he was engaged in´uª0 ´uª0 three´uª ´uªconspicuous´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªcontroversies during´uª0 ´uª0 his life. The first´uª0 ´uª0 was his arraignment´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªby the general court´uª0 ´uª0 in´uª ´uª1653, for his´uª0 ´uª0 hostility to the´uª0 ´uª0 persecution of the´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªQuakers. The´uª0 ´uª0 second was his´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªresistance to the´uª0 ´uª0 dogmatic authority´uª0 ´uª0 of the´uª ´uªclergy,´uª0 ´uª0 in the´uª0 ´uª0 person of his paster´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªRev. John´uª0 ´uª0 Wheelwright. The´uª0 ´uª0 third´uª ´uªwas his bitter´uª0 ´uª0 opposition to the´uª0 ´uª0 witchcraft´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªprosecutions in´uª0 ´uª0 1692. In all of´uª ´uªthese´uª0 ´uª0 controversies, Mr.´uª0 ´uª0 Pike stood practically´uª0 ´uª0 alone.´uª ´uªHe´uª0 ´uª0 was a´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªcentury in advance´uª0 ´uª0 of his time, and a´uª0 ´uª0 century more than´uª0 ´uª0 vindicated´uª ´uªhis´uª0´uª ´uª0´uª ´uªadavanced positions.´uª0 ´uª0 The historian of the´uª0 ´uª0 Salem witchcraft´uª0 ´uª0 delusion says that´uª0´uª ´uª0´uª ´uª"not a voice comes´uª0 ´uª0 down to us of´uª0 ´uª0 deliberate´uª0 ´uª0 and´uª0 ´uª0 effective hostility to´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªthe´uª ´uªmovement,´uª0 ´uª0 except that of Robert´uª0 ´uª0 Pike..""

John Pike, at the age of 62 (app.), one of the first settlers of Newbury, Massachusetts, arrived in America with his five children: John, age 22; Robert, age 19; Dorothy, age 18; Ann, age 14; and Isreal, age 12 (ages are app.) having been two months since leaving Southampton, England.
They came on the ship, "James of London, three hundred tons, William Cooper, Master. She sailed from Southampton 5 April and arrived 3 June 1635 with 86 passengers and cattle. (Banks, p. 135ff) (Winthrop in his journal 1, 156 calls her master "Mr. Graves" and says that he "had come every year for these seven years.")
Until recently there was a question whether or not his wife Dorothy accompanied the family to New England. Charles E. Banks (The Planters of the Commonwealth, p. 138) lists "John of Langford, Co. Wilts, Mrs...Pike" and the five children by name. James Savage (Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England, p.435) does not list her as arriving with the family. Information from the Pike Family Association maintains that the wife and mother did not come with the family to America (Pike Assoc. 1939, p. 27). (Banks in the preface of his book gives a comprehensive explanation of the research into these early records in England. He states: "The compiler of the lists which follows in this volume, during a residence of nearly five years in England has examined personally the originals of all the lists heretofore printed by Drake, Savage and Hotten, and subjected them to analytical study with a view of presenting them in an intelligible form.") We now know that Dorothy, wife of John G. Pike died between 20 June 1631, when she and her husband were named in her father's will, and 28 March 1632, when her mother's will did not mention her but included a bequest to son-in-law John Pike.
There is a legend passed down, especially by relatives in Salisbury, that John Pike is buried in the Old Burial Ground (established in 1639) located on Beach Road, Salisbury, Massachusetts. The story is that early settlers, including John, as well as other Pike members including Major Robert, were buried in unmarked graves due to the fact that the Indians would dig up the graves.
John Pike was probably born in Whiteparish, Co. Wiltshire, which is located about 90 miles southwest of London, a short distance from the great city of Salisbury, with its 13th Century Cathedral. It is recorded: "The earlier name must have referred to the color of the original church" (Grover, Mawer, & Stenton, p.388).
John Pike's parentage is unknown. "The Pike wills in the P.C.C. and in the Sarum (Old name for Salisbury) courts fail to show his parentage; perhaps he was from the adjoining county of Hants, for which there are wills at Winchester" (NEHGR, Vol. 66, 1912, p. 257-261.
He married 14 January 1612, Whiteparish, Co. Wiltshire, England, Dorothy Day of Langford (recorded as Dorothie Daye in the register. Whiteparish WRO, M/F 830/1).
John Pike is said to have been registered in the "Customs House" in Southampton as a "laborer of Langford" (Savage, p. 435). To quote Savage this was certainly done "to evade the despicable tyranny of the regulations" governing emigration or a deception to conceal a more noted person from such regulations. Joshua Coffin writes "No laborer of those days had two such educated sons as Robert and John Pike, Jr.; both were men of marked prominence in the Colony. We might say that no laborer of those days was himself such an educated man. The probabilities are that he certainly was a man of liberal education and much natural ability not only from his having two sons, who ranked so high in later years in the history of the colony and that of New Jersey, but from some evidence of his personal ability."
James Shepherd Pike, grandson (7th generation), of John Pike wriiting in "The New Puritan" stated "The listing of his being from Langford may have been erroneous, for at that period it was sometimes found expedient for persons of pronounced opinions, hostile to the governing powers, to leave the authorities in the dark as to the places of residence of the zealous Dissenters who were hastening out of the country. The description of John Pike as a laborer from LAngford may be therefore mythical. It is clear that a part of it, at least, is inaccurate." (The New Puritan, reprint, p. 25)
John Pike and his children landed in this country, presumably Ipswich, Massachusetts in 1635 and took up residence on the bank of the Parker River in Newbury.
The court records show that he acted as attorney in two cases and successfully on each occasion. Several times in the records of the Quarterly Courts we find him appearing as counsel for his friends. This fact probably accounts for the family tradition that he was a lawyer. He served in 1645 on the Grand Jury and on the Jury of Trials in 1653, and on 28 March 1654 he appeared for the town of Newbury against John Merrill.
In February 1638 he was fined two shillings and sixpence for "departing from the (town) meeting without leave and contemptuously." He endears himself to us by very humanness. When in an argument with Thomas Bloomfield he laid hold of his coat, the latter slipped out of it and ran away. Whereupon, John Pike, enraged by such cowardice, calmly cut the coat to ribbons.
He seems to have made his home in his last years with his son, Robert in Salisbury where he died on 26 May 1654, leaving property to the amount of £230, comprising nearly £15 in clothing. [It is estimated that an early pound would have been in later years worth $3.32 American currency. In 1988 an English pound was worth $2.80 American currency. Therfore, John's worth may be calculated as approximately $750, of which $50 was in clothing; not to mention his land holdings.]
His home and land in Newbury, and land in the new town, Salisbury, comprised his possessions.

The will of Thomas Daye can be found in the July 1999 edition of NEHGR.

He arrived, with his family, in Boston on June 3, 1635 on the Ship "James" which sailed from Southampton April 5, 1635, and on April 9, settled in Newbury with his family. He is listed as being a laborer on the ship's passenger roster, but soon after he acted as an attorney in a debt case. They had settled along the Parker River but found it unsuitable and in 1642 relocated a few miles north of the mouth of the Merrimack in Salisbury, then Norfolk Co., now Essex Co.
