When William McPike was established as a new patriot it was back in the 1970's and what was accepted as "proof" back then sometimes wouldn't meet the high standard of documentation that is required today. I can tell you that William's residence was "proved" with tax records and land records and was solid enough documentation that it meets the standards of today. Hope this helps you in your research.Sheri Fenleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01720122119370691488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6592153507467992076.post-12066538726034258062017-08-02T10:47:35.582-07:002017-08-02T10:47:35.582-07:00Thank you very much Sherie!

I'll take a look at that book. <br />What I don't understand is how they came to the conclusion that the person named in the voucher was our William McPike? He likely was since McPike isn't a common name, but there isn't really any way to be sure? I'll check that book to see if they actually do have something more? Thanks again!

William McPike was paid for "services rendered" (as opposed to providing supplies) which qualifies him as performing patriotic service.<br />North Carolina Army Records, Vol 1 pg 46, folio 2, voucher #59<br /><br />William McPike's wife is named - Obedience Hallaway - but there has been no proof of her birth or death submitted in any of the 13 applications that used William as their patriot ancestor.<br /><br />There are two sources listed in DAR documentation that you did not mention in your blog post that may be of use to you:<br />Fabian and allied Families 1982<br />McPike History, "Family album - A Source Book Volume I" by Gloria Brewer Jones, Gateway Press 1984Sheri Fenleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01720122119370691488noreply@blogger.com
