I am searching for information on Eliza Pike who married Daniel Williams in 1870. Her parents are listed as Lewis Pike and Patasey Pike. I believe that she later married Thomas Jackson. In the 1880 census Thomas and Eliza Jackson are listed with the following children: Fred L. Williams, Hattie Williams and Carl V. Williams. On Fred Williams's death certificate his parents are listed as Daniel Williams and Eliza Pike. The family story is that Fred was adopted when he was little, so this would explain the 1880 census listing him as Thomas Jackson's son. I would appreciate any help in making a connection with these two families.
