Abigail Overman Pike
A charter member of the Cane Creek Meeting and a recorded Quaker minister, she lived her Christian faith as she practice her Quaker beliefs. The Pike home stood about two miles west. She and Rachel Wright were part of a delegation that traveled on horseback to Perquimans County to request the Quarterly Meeting's permission to establish a Monthly Meeting at Cane Creek. She traveled extensively to promote the growth of other Quaker Meetings and to represent Cane Creek at various meetings. Cane Creek relied on her judgment in many areas of the Meeting. She and John Pike married in 1731 and had 8 children. After John's death in 1774, she moved from the area and joined New Garden Meeting. She is buried at Muddy Creek burial ground. This marker made possible by the efforts of Cane Creek Quaker Men and Friends.
