Individual Details
Joseph Pike
(1694 - 16 Feb 1730/31)
At the time of his father's death in 1714/5, Joseph was still of an age to select a guardian and he selected his uncle Nathaniel Pike as his guardian. I am not sure why a man in his 30's would need a guardian, so maybe the Joseph who was born in 1683 had died and this was a later child named Joseph. There is another child Penelope who is in the will but not in the birth records, so perhaps that is possible. The death record for this Joseph is in 1730 and gives his age as 36 on the gravestone, so I am going with this being a later born Joseph. The death as 1730/31 is confirmed by the will which names Elizabeth, his four children, brother Zebulon, and brother-in-law Richard Cutter.
