Mary Hayden Pike

Mary Hayden Pike (née Green) (30 November 1824 – 15 January 1908) was an American author born in Eastport, Maine, to Elijah Dix Green and Hannah Claflin Hayden.

She was educated in Calais, Maine, and acquired religious convictions at age twelve, when she went through baptism in an icy stream. She graduated from the Charlestown Female Seminary in 1843. In 1846 she married Frederick A. Pike, who was later elected to the 37th United States Congress.

Pike's paternal grandfather, Thomas Green, was the first pastor of the North Yarmouth and Freeport Baptist Meetinghouse in today's Yarmouth, Maine. He died in 1814, ten years before Pike was born.[1]
