JOHN C. PIKE, son of Hugh and Mary Ann (Crawford) Pike, was born April 12, 1810. He was the third in a family of ten children, - six boys and four girls, - eight of whom are now living. John C. spent his youth on his father's farm in Elk Run township. His father emigrated to this country about 1796, and settled in Washington Co., Pa., where he was engaged at his trade as weaver for eight years. In 1804 he removed to Columbiana County, and settled in Elk Run township on a section of land which he cleared up and brought under a state of cultivation. Here he resided till his death, which occurred May 20, 1835.
     On Feb. 13, 1834, John C. was married to Maria, daughter of John and Sophia C. Frederick, of Centre township. She was born Nov. 29, 1810. By this union six children were born to them, namely: De Lorma F., born July 17, 1835 (married Cora Arter, of Hanover, - two children, Georgia and Grant Omer); Mary Ann, born March 6, 1838 (married Aaron Arter, of Hanover, have three children - Artemus, John S., and Olietta); Sophia C., born March 5, 1841 (married Jesse B. Frost, of Centre township have three children, - Wilbur L., Fanny E., and Frank O.); Robert T., born March 9, 1843 (married Louisa Springer, have five children, - Linda M., Jenny R., Mary L., John T., and Olive S.); Maria M., born Jan. 23, 1845; died Dec. 26, 1848; Hannah J., born Oct. 29, 1847 (married William Rudisill, of Centre, have two children, - Maria R. and John C.).
     After his marriage John C. purchased a farm in Elk Run and worked it two years, when he sold out and moved to Paris, Stark Co., Ohio, where he went into a mercantile business, which he followed four years, then sold out and removed to Centre township, and purchased a farm of two hundred and sixty acres, to which has been added at different times three hundred and forty, making a farm of six hundred acres where he has resided since.
     Politically, he was originally a Whig, but since the organization of the Republican party, has been a staunch Republican. For the past eighteen years both he and his wife have been members of the Methodist church, he having been a class-leader in the same for several years.
