     Patience Pike was born cir. Apr 1758 at Bere Ferrers, DEV, ENG.3,2 She was baptized on 29 Apr 1758 in the Par. of Bere Ferrers, DEV, ENG; entry shows Patience as the daughter of "Robt & Eliz Pyke.2"
     Patience Pike married Richard Matters on 17 Jul 1783 in the Par. Ch, Bere Ferrers, DEV, ENG, writing their names themselves as Richard Matters Patience Pike Wit: Joseph & Nicolas Langman (a surname that would become common in Taranaki, NZ).1 Patience Metters was buried on 27 Oct 1829 at Bere Ferrers, DEV, ENG, aged 72.3
     Patience Pike and Walter Pyke at the Ch of St Andrew, Bere Ferrers, DEV, ENG, in 1752 were possibly related, as I'd like to think that Walter is Patience's grandfather, purely because I like his headstone
     "By a fall I caught my death
     Which no man knows his time nor breath
     I might have dyd as soon as then
     Had I been with phisitian men."4 As of Jul 1783, her surname was also spelt Pyke by the marriage clerk, and her married name became either Metters or Matters, both versions being found.1
