==Biography==
===First Generation===
[https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Dike-26 Anthony Dike] was likely born in Ireland<ref>Based on a patrilineal descendant testing R-M222.</ref> about 1605, date, place and parentage currently unknown. He died at sea (Cape Cod Bay) 15 Dec 1638. He married by 1631 Tabitha ____<ref>After Anthony's death, she married Nathaniel Pittman/Pickman of Salem.</ref> and they had two children: Charity (c1631) and Anthony (c1636).

==DNA results R-M222==
===Previous testing===
The [https://www.familytreedna.com/public/Dykes?iframe=ydna-results-overview Dykes surname DNA Project] Group "Family C" lists one individual claiming Anthony Dike as their Most Distant Known Patrilineal Ancestor (MDKPA). This individual has tested Y-67 STR markers and had an autosomal test from another company transferred to FTDNA. From his autosomal test, FTDNA states the family falls under R-M222.

This haplogroup is extremely common in Ireland, and uncommon anywhere else. Given this haplogroup assignment, it appears likely Anthony Dike (or his father) was a native of Ireland.

===NGS/NGS results===
NGS/WGS testing would refine the haplogroup assignment. Individuals who believe they are Y-DNA descendants of Anthony Dike are encouraged to take a NGS/WGS test (like the Big Y-700 test) and to contact Raymond Wing email: MayflowerDNA1620@gmail.com
