About Pikeville:  Pikeville, which was incorporated in 1891, was a stage coach stop which had been operated by the Pike family from the late 1700s.  Samuel Pike received a land grant from the King of England in 1763.  In 1785 the land was transferred to Nathan Pike who operated a large tavern near what is now Pikeville.  This stagecoach stop later became a railroad stop.  Most of the early settlers in the area were Quakers.  The tavern was destroyed by Sherman's Army during the Civil War.

This  is Pike Cemetery located in Wayne County  on the Pikeville-Princeton Road  about  3 miles west of  Pikeville, NC.  I started at the front which is the older section and went up  and down each row. There are about  10 graves with headstones missing or you cannot read them. Most of these are infants I believe.  If anyone notices any errors please let me know.  I am Alton Parnell and my address is AParnell@nc.rr.com.
