Research Notes

There are multiple Birth Sources for Henry Pike's children, born in Shrewsbury, Vermont, with no wife listed, with birth years from at least 1815- 1837.

There are multiple Henry Pikes in the area because there are multiple Civil War Soldiers sources with different middle initial, ie Henry A., Henry C.

There are multiple census records for Henry Pike, in both Shrewsbury, Vermont and Grand Isle, Vermont. If this person had children in Shrewsbury, then the census would be correct for Shrewsbury, but the multiple locations proves that there are multiple Henry Pikes in Vermont at the same time
