Birth26 Birth place State of Massachusetts from NYS census records; Williamstown is assumed as Williams's place of birth since his mother's parents were residents of Williamstown and Joseph Pike owned land in Williamstown prior to 1800. it appears that both the Robert Hawkins and the Joseph Pike families were living in Williamstown in the early 1790's. They were in Sunderland, VT in the 1800 census and the Joseph Pike was back in Williamstown, MA for the 1810 census. By that time his father-in-law Robert Hawkins had already moved to NYS. Death27: William Pike's place and date of death were initially learned from the Greene town historian; eventually letters of administration were located in the Broome County Court house which listed death date; however, his place of burial was not indicated on them. Burial: The Chenango Co. "Red Book of Burials" in the Norwich library lists William as buried in the Chapel Cemetery in Coventry, NY. When the DAR chapter enumerated the tombstones in the Chapel Cemetery about 1930-31 William's was present. However, it cannot now be located nor was it there when Mr. Lloyd made his map in 1976. Mrs. Elliott, town of Coventry historian, said that in the 1920's and 1930's people raided tombstones from the Chapel Cemetery to use for sidewalks. Evidently tombstones were also placed into cellar walls. The type of marker is unknown. We do know there was money ($28) allotted in the Letters of Administration for a grave marker. On Mr. Lloyd's map there are a number of graves that have foot stones but have no head stones with names attached to them. William apparently was of English descent (noted in the No. Minnesota Compendium of History and Biography). He worked as a farmer, teacher, carpenter, builder of houses. He was described as a farmer in 1850 census. He apparently moved to Colesville in Broome Co., NY from Williamstown, MA between 1810 and 1813. He and brother Elisha may have moved there before their parents and the rest of the family. Tax assessment rolls from Windsor, NY (including Colesville) indicate he and Elisha Pike owned land together in 1813. William and Persis had 14 children though several died at birth or in early childhood. Seven grew up to marry and have their own children. Garrit died a young adult, but unmarried. Mary was 24 and a teacher, Orville was 17 and a farm laborer, Frances E. a 3 year old granddaughter was a child of son William Crawford. They lived in Colesville, NY in Broome County apparently close to where Hiram and Robert had their farms. William kept enlarging his farm and had just built a new barn and bought another farm about 10 months preceeding his death. From the context of William's journal it is assumed he buried his young children on the family farm. There is no indication they were buried in the Hawkins Pike cemetery with William's mother. During William's early adult life he was apparently quite poor, although he was better off in later life. Their land was valued at $900 in the 1850 census. Two adult children and a granddaughter were with William and Persis at the time of the 1860 census. William kept a series of diaries which give interesting insights into his life and circumstances. He was a religious man and much of the content of the 1817-1831 diary describes his spiritual journey and struggles. William apparently died of the cancer he described in his 1865 diary. On March 26, 1665 he wrote that "it is now more than 10 months since this sore first made its appearance in the shape of a pimple or little boile. It is now nearly or quite the size of a silver dollar." He was treating it with a plaster of grafting wax and taking Dr. Jaynes's Alterative. In his 1865 journal he described several possible treatments.
