General Notes: He died before 1799 in Pendleton District, South Carolina. Nathan Fike is listed as the father of Abel Fike in the
History of St. Clair County, Illinois written in 1881. It appears that Abel was born in North Carolina 15 April 1777, and
subsequently removed to Pendleton District, South Carolina. Whether Nathan moved with him is uncertain, however, it does
appear that one Elizabeth Fike, who later married Phillip Land in St. Clair County in 1805 was born in South Carolina. It being
probable that she was at least 18 years of age at the time of this marriage, it is quite probable that she was the daughter of
Nathan Fike, and that Abel Fike was her brother. The only other person by the name of Fike listed in the Pendleton District
census of 1800 was Abel Fike, with no other persons indicated in his household. The IGI of the LDS Church, however shows
born 13 Dec 1808, both being from Abel Fike and Rachel Crownover in Pendleton District S.C.
J. Forrest in July 1998 stated that Nathan and Susan were married in Tenn, moved to .Pendleton SC then Hopkins Co.,KY then
St Clair Co.,IL, 1836 to Looking Glass Prairie 2mi ne of Mascoutah, IL. . He was married to Susan FOUSHEE/FORSHEE
between 1766 and 1776 in Granville County, North Carolina.
A Nathan Fike acted as second in a duel in 1819, and later signed a poll list and return of the first election held in the county
after Illinois became a State, but it is unsure whether this was this Nathan Fike.
