David Pike's Family History & Genealogy Resources

I am in search of some people willing to do genealogical DNA tests as follows:

Any great-grandchild (either male or female) of Charles Quinton and Sarah White who married in 1847 and later resided at Pincher's Point in Bonavista Bay. I would like to arrange for their great-granchildren to do the "Family Finder" test at Family Tree DNA. So far, 22 of their great-grandchildren have done this test. More specifically, the great-grandchildren of Charles and Sarah include the grandchildren of:
- Mary Ellen Quinton, who married James Matthews in 1869. Included among Mary Ellen and James' children are Charles Edward Matthews (who married Effie Lethbridge), Leah Matthews (who married Eleazer Weir, and Sarah Jane Matthews (who married Mark Newman).
- James Quinton, who married Ann Maria Crane in 1878. Included among James and Ann Maria's children are Julia Quinton (who married Samuel Noseworthy), Edward Quinton (who married Martha Crewe), Sarah Quinton (who married Edwin Wheaton), and Mary Esther Quinton (who married Nathaniel Parsons).
- Elizabeth Quinton, who married John Fry in 1879. Included among Elizabeth and John's children are Charles Fry (who married Ida Elizabeth Bursey), Amelius Fry (who married Ella Stevens), and Sarah Fry (who married Sidney Rideout).
- Hannah Quinton, who married Thomas Fry in 1875
- Charles Henry Quinton, who married Martha Jane Wheeler in 1889
- Ann Grace Quinton, who married Elijah Smith in 1893
- Edward Quinton, who married Elizabeth Quinton in 1900. Edward died in Massachusetts in 1946.
- Herbert Quinton, who married Lydia Greening in 1894
Several of these people's descendants lived at or near Charleston and Princeton, Bonavista Bay.
A male PRICE who descends from Charles Price of Champney's, Trinity Bay. I would like to arrange for a Y-DNA test at Family Tree DNA for such a person.
A male WHITE who descends from Victorious White (born about 1791) of Catalina, Trinity Bay. I would like to arrange for a Y-DNA test at Family Tree DNA for such a person.
Males with the surname PIKE or PYKE, especially those whose lineage is not yet represented within the Pike Surname DNA Project.
A carrier of the mitochondrial DNA of the following women:
- Sarah Quinton who married Samuel Prince in 1839. Potential carriers of Sarah's mtDNA might be among the descendants of Nettie Matthews who married Charles Wilbert Day in 1925 at Windsor, Ontario.

And if you have ancestry from Newfoundland and Labrador, consider joining the Newfoundland and Labrador Family Finder Project which uses autosomal DNA testing to identify relatives.
