Captain Benjamin Jarvis Pike was a Revolutionary War soldier and first settler in Floyd, Oneida, New York.

History of the Town of Floyd, New York, by Edwin C. Evans

According to this History of Floyd, New York, ” Most of the early settlers came from New England, and as there were a large family of “Pikes” that were from the area of Amesbury and Salisbury, Massachusetts, several of which gave of their efforts to the war, evidence at this time would suggest that our Captain Pike came from there.” Captain Pike lived in Punch Bowl village but relocated to an area called “The Corners” where he constructed a tavern. Captain Pike was also the first postmaster in Floyd. This history describes their experience in Floyd but also mentions Jarvis. Benjamin and Sarah had the following children:

• Benjamin Pike died September 27, 1824 in Newburyport, Essex, Massachusetts.
• Frances Haskell Pike was born February 15, 1821 in Newburyport, Essex, Massachusetts and died April 22, 1838 age 17 years same place.

Jarvis Pike born 1755 in Keyworth, Nottinghamshire, England and died April 22, 1835 in Newport Sullivan, New Hampshire.
