The Pikes like the Greers were involved in the linen industry, the family home was Beechgrove in the townland of Farlough, in the parish of Tullyniskan, Co. Tyrone. The linen business was Jonathan Pike and Sons, Jonathan being the father of Richard Pike. The family were members of the Society of Friends (Quakers) and marriages of Richard's children tended to be to members of other linen families and in the Quaker faith. The years of birth quoted above are approximate as they depend on ages quoted on death certificates which can be inaccurate. The only marriages and children that are followed up on other pages are those of Elizabeth Barrington Pike and Lilian Ethel Pike, who married into the Greer family.
Wilhemina Pike married Benjamin Glasgow of Drapersfield, Dungannon on 16th February 1864.
Charlotte Pike married Rev. William Henry Greer on 5th September 1867. He was the 4th cousin of Henry Francis Greer and Francis Henry Greer. Following his death Charlotte then married Robert William Scott youngest son of the late James Scott, Bloomhill on 26th April 1876.
Margaret Pike married Jonathan Hogg Barcroft, fifth son of John Pim Barcroft of Stangmore House, Dungannon on 25th August 1869.
Sarah Pike married James Wood, only son of James Wood of Hill Head, Cullybackey on 16th November 1869.
Anna Maria Pike married her cousin Joseph Richard Pike, son of James Nicholson Pike of Clifton Street, Belfast on 22nd January 1872. Following his death she married John Barcroft, eldest son of John Pim Barcroft of Stangmore House, Dungannon on 3rd July 1878.
Marion Pike married Robert Daniel son of Samuel Daniel, The Oaklands, Timperley, Cheshire on 19th April 1873.

James Pike and Richard Pike have proved harder to track down, there is an article in the Ballymena Observer in 1894 that mentions a James Pike returning to Farlough from Canada to promote emigration to that country. The 1891 Canadian census has a James Pike with wife Annie listed there, and in 1901 census there is a James A Pike in Marlborough Street, Derry with wife Annie born in Toronto.
