PIKE.
The Pikes trace their ancestry back to Maj. Robert Pike,1 an early settler in Salisbury, Essex Co., Mass., to whom a lot of land was assigned in the first division of the town in 1639. Major Pike was from England, a man of much strength of character, and very prominent in the busi- ness affairs of the new town. He had a son, Robert,2 who had a son Moses,3 who had a son Elias,4 who had a son Joshua. 5 This Joshua had a son Elias,6 who was the father of the Joshua Pike7 who settled in In-

dustry in the early part of the present century. He was born in Salis- bury, Mass., March 9, 1775. His wife, whom he married in 1800, was Miriam True, born Sept. 8, 1775, daughter of Moses True. of Seabrook, Rockingham Co., N. H., and a descendant of Henry True, whose wife was a sister of Robert Pike.1 Mr. Pike was born and brought up on the farm once owned by his ancestor, Major Robert Pike, where he lived until his removal to the District of Maine in 1802. In the spring of that year Mr. Pike came to Industry and took possession of lot No. 51, near Stark line, known as the Joseph Badger lot and now owned by William J. Gilmore. Here he made preparations for his family, which came to Industry in the fall of that year. Mr. Pike sent his household goods in a schooner from Newburyport to Hallowell, but he and Mrs. Pike per- formed the journey, a distance of nearly two hundred and fifty miles, on horseback, bringing their second child, a babe of three months. in their arms, leaving one daughter, older, with her grandmother Pike. Mrs. Pike was a very energetic woman, and frequently assisted her husband in piling logs, clearing off the burnt land, etc. He sold his farm to Phin- eas Tolman, and settled on a smaller one near the present residence of Augustus H. Swift, where he remained until the fall of 1845 and then went to live with his daughter, Mrs. Joseph Norton, of Farmington. He was an honest man and a good citizen. He died June 13, 1856. His wife died in Farmington, Aug. 5, 1865, aged 89 years, 11 months.

The following anec- lote pertains to that period of his life : In his youthful days Sammie, as everyone called him, was decidedly fond of the violin and became quite an expert performer thereon. Some years ago he was travelling in the eastern part of Somerset County soliciting orders for fruit-trees. C'alling at a house one morning he noticed a violin in a case and in- quired of a gentleman in the room if he played. The person in question replied in an indifferent tone, that he did practice a little once in a while. Whereupon Sammie asked and received permission to try the tone of the instrument. On taking it from the case he noticed that the violin was no ordinary affair, still his suspicions were not aroused. After drawing the bow once or twice across the strings and finding the instrument in perfect tune he commenced playing a lively air. This was too much for the owner of the violin, he jumped from his chair and in perfect time, with the grace of an Apollo, went through all evolutions of a familiar dance, calling the various changes as they came. " Who is that gentleman?" queried Sammie, after the music had ceased and the dancer left the room. "That? Why that is Professor A., of Boston, the celebrated teacher of violin music and dancing, who comes down here every year for a short vacation." " Then," said Sammie, as he afterward related the story, "if ever I felt my absolute insignificance, if ever I longed for the ground to open and swallow me up, it was at that moment."

REMICK.
ENOCH REMICK, from whom the Industry Remicks are descendants, was a native of England, although it is said there was Irish blood in the family. He married Sarah Trefethern, by whom he had ten children, six sons and four daughters. Two of the sons, James and Daniel, served in the War of the Revolution and were taken prisoners. James died in confinement, and Daniel soon after his release. His first place of resi- dence was New Market, N. H., but emigrated among the early settlers to Tamworth, where both he and his wife died, the latter at the age of nearly 100 years. Two sons have lived in Industry, viz. :
I. JOHN, b. in England; m. Elizabeth Nevens.
2. WILLIAM, b. either in England or New Market, N. II., soon after the arrival of his parents in this country; Dec. 17, 1771, m. Abigail, dau. of Samuel Gilman, of Tamworth, who emigrated from England with or about the same time as did Enoch Remick.
I. JOHN REMICK, son of Enoch and 'Sarah (Trefethern) Remick. married Elizabeth Nevens. He was a carpenter by trade, as were also several of his sons. It is probable that he did not come to Industry until after the death of his wife, when he made his home with his sons, Francis and True. Five children, four sons and one daughter.

H., in March, 1805, and settled on land recently known as the Amos S. Hinkley farm. There was a barn but no house on the premises at that time, and the family lived for six weeks in Daniel Luce's kitchen. Meanwhile, Mr. Remick constructed a temporary dwelling for

his family. principally from material obtained from a couple of corn- cribs. In this small cabin his family lived while he planted his corn and completed his spring's work, after which he built a convenient one-story house. This was located about twelve rods north of the buildings now on the premises. He also bought trees of Capt. William Allen, and set an orchard on his farm. He afterward brought seeds from New Hamp- shire, planted a nursery, and sold trees to the neighboring farmers. Mr. Remick was an excellent penman. He was elected clerk of the Con- gregational Church in 1812, and held the office until his removal from town in 1831. During this time the records were kept with unusual neatness and accuracy. About the time of the 1812 War, a rumor was circulated that a band of Indians were coming through from Canada to kill the settlers and burn their dwellings. Several families gathered at Mr. Remick's, in their fright, but after waiting some time and seeing no Indians. their fears were dispelled. and they dispersed to their homes. After living in town more than a quarter of a century, he sold to Moses Washburn, who also came from New Hampshire, and removed to Dover. He subsequently went to Glenburn, where both he and his wife died.

When he removed to Illinois in 1854, it was regarded one of the best in town .* His wife Abigail was born Dec. 15, 1786, and died May 12, 1815. He married for his second wife (pub. Oct. 15. 1815), Lucy, daughter of Nathan May- hew, of Strong. She was born at Martha's Vineyard, Sept. 18. 1782.
