Morrow, Merilyn B. Fike. Christian Fike and His Descendants. Morgantown, Pa.: Masthof Press, 1996. Pages 1 and 10-12. Merilyn B. Fike Morrow, 5215 Casa Grande Road, Temple, PA 19560,
(1) Page 10: "Christian, Sr. died between 27 Aug 1771 and 20 Sep 1771. His will was probated in Chester County, PA. On 19 Sep 1775, Ann and Margaret Fike, sisters of Jacob, petitioned the court in Chester County to appoint guardians for the two younger children of Christian, Sr., namely Catherine aged twelve and Jacob aged seven. John, son of Christian and sole executor of Christian, Sr.'s will, told the court that he intended to leave Chester County for the frontier of Pennsylvania, about two hundred miles away, and was afraid the two children might lose their inheritance unless a guardian was appointed. Ann and Margaret asked for John Kinagee and Adam Richabough. The court appointed them. Nothing more is heard of Jacob until 1798, when Jacob left his Amish family and was catechised and examined before being confirmed 13 May 1789 and Batised 16 May 1789 in the Castleman River. Some churches were very strict in their doctrine governing membership and marriage. He must have married Eve Moyer within weeks of his baptism, since the 1790 census shows him having one child."
(2) Page 12: "Brother George Hinebaugh, a minister of the Bretheren from the Elk Lick church, would occassionally preach in the neighborhood. After three years, the number of baptized had increased so that in the fall of 1814, they appointed a love feast at the home of Brother Jacob Fike, one mile from Markleysburg. An election was held for one 'speaker' and one 'deacon'. The lot fell on Jacob Fike as speaker, and Alexander Thomas as deacon.
In 1827, Jacob became involved with a Mary Barnthouse, and they left the Markleysburg area and moved to Guernsey County, Ohio. Before he left he provided for Eve as long as she lived. She gave her third (dower) of the estate of Jacob Fike to her John in return for sufficient food, rainment, lodging and all things necessary for her support for the rest of her life. There is no record of her death that I have found, but we - the descendants of Jacob - feel he waited until Eve died before he married Mary Barnthouse. That marriage occurred on 29 Dec 1836 in Guernsey County, Ohio. I don't know when Mary died, but she was still living in 1848. Jacob's will was dated 21 Jun 1841, and probated 21 Sep 1841. He apointed his wife Mary Fike and his son Jacob, Jr. as sole executors. ..."

From Christian Fike & His Descendants: (pg. 10):

Christian, Sr. died between Aug. 27, 1771 and 20 Sept. 1771. His will was probated in Chester Co., PA. On 19 Sept. 1775, Ann and Margaret Fike, sisters of Jacob, petitioned the court in Chester County to appoint guardians for the two younger children of Christian Sr., namely Catherine aged twelve and Jacob, aged 7. John, son of Christian and sole executor of Christian Sr.'s will, told the court he intended to leave Chester County for the frontier of Pennsylvania, about two hundred miles away, and was afraid the children might lose their inheritance unless a guardian was appointed. Ann and Margaret asked for John Kinagee and Adam Richabough. The court appointed them. Nothing more is heard of Jacob until 1798, when Jacob left his Amish family and was catechized and examined before being confirmed 13 May 1789 and Baptized 16 May 1789 in the Castleman River. Some churches were very strict in their doctrine governing membership and marriage. He must have married Eve Moyer within weeks of his baptism, since the 1790 census shows him having one child.

(pg. 12):
Brother George Hinebaugh, a minister of the Brethren from the Elk Lick church, would occasionally preach in the neighborhood. After three years, the number of baptized had increased so that in the Fall of 1814, they appointed a love feast at the home of Brother Jacob Fike, one mile from Markleysburg. An election was held for one 'speaker' and one 'deacon'. The lot fell on Jacob Fike as speaker and on Alexander Thomas as deacon. In 1827, Jacob became involved with a Mary Barnthouse, and they left the Markleysburg area and moved to Guernsey Co., Ohio. Before he left he provided for Eve as long as she lived. She gave her third (dower) of the estate of Jacob Fike to her John in return for sufficient food, rainment, lodging and all things necessary for her support for the rest of her life." The descendants of Jacob feel he waited until Eve died before he married Mary Barnthouse. That marriage occurred in Guernsey County on 29 Dec. 1836.
