History:

Pike family spread happened because of people choosing to move and also because they were forced to. People might have moved to find better jobs or escape bad situations, like families looking for new farmland or a fresh start. Sadly, wars and other problems also forced some Pikes to move. Both choices and forced moves explain why this surname is found in so many places.
