Lydia? Pike
(circa 1790 - )
4th great-grandmother of Darrell Allen Martin.

Lydia? was born circa 1790.1,2 She married Enoch Nelson say 1806. The best I can do fitting this family together suggests that Lydia? was married as young as 15 years old, and bore her first child very soon thereafter. The estimated dates of Enoch and Lydia?'s children are based on fitting the recorded birth order into a very limited time span. Lydia? was probably age 40 to under 50 in Enoch Nelson's household in the 1840 Census taken in Newbury, Orange County, Vermont.3
