Samuel Pike, son of John Pike and Emma Blount, was born 29 October 1678, in St. Marys, Alderberry Parish, in London, England
Some say that he was married between 1607-1700, in Pasquotank County, North Carolina, to Jean McGregor, who was born in 1680, in Orange County, North Carolina, and died between 1732-1752 in Orange County, North Carolina.
Some genealogists assert he is the son of Joseph Pike and Elizabeth Jackson of Ireland. In his will he refers to his wife Jane, not Jean, which discounts his being married to Jean McGregory at the time of his death. Not too clear
Samuel & sister Africa Pike came to the USA with their mother about 1684.
