Happy New Year everyone!
I am searching for any information on John Cheek and Martha Patsey Perdue.
John Cheek was born sometime in 1810, I believe in TN. Martha Perdue was born
sometime in 1817 in Sumner County, TN. Martha is the daughter of Daniel Perdue
and Prudence Ward. Daniel originally lived in Virginia and moved to Sumner
County, TN in August of 1815.
I also have a marriage date for John Cheek & Patsey Perdue in Sumner County,
TN of April 26, 1837.
I believe that John is my g-g-g-grandfather. His children with Martha/Patsey
Perdue were Lucinda Cheek, Cornelius Cheek (my g-g-grandfather) and William
Cheek.
If anyone has any information on John Cheek or Martha Patsey Purdue I would
love to hear from you! Happy Searching!!

Hi Cheeks
'The family I am searching started with Amos Cheek, b NC 1805 who married Ann
M, also of NC In mid 1840" c. 1846 they moved to Chattooga County Ga. Their
children were; Mahala 1835, Benjamin 1837, James M 1840, Margaret E
1844-married Charles Turner - Lydia 1845 - married Wiley Bridges - William B
1847 and Thursey 1852. Benjamin married Martha Hawkins and moved to Hill
County Texas. He was wounded in the war of Northern Aggression in 1864. I
have info on Ben's descendants, he was my ggrandfather, and some on the
Hawkins. Am looking for more on Amos. He seems to have spontaneously
appeared in GA. He does not show on any census, and rumor is he was part
native American - Cherokee? Also, Ben joined a Tennessee Cavalry unit so
perhaps they moved to Chattooga (on the TN border) via Tennessee. If any of
this sounds familiar let me know.
Regards,
John Cheek Norman
Hi Folks,
The oral tradition in my Walker family says that one of my g-g-gf's sisters,
Betsy Walker, married a Cheek. No further information. I hope that one of
you can recognize a name or two in what follows and maybe help me get onto the
right branch of the tree.
In the 1850 census of Greene Co. GA (where my Walker family was living at the
same time) there is this household:
Joel Cheek 22, b. NC
Elizabeth 23, b. SC
Arena (female) 7, b. GA
James 1, b. GA
There is no Greene Co. GA marriage record for them. In 1860 this couple was in
Henry Co. GA, where Joel was a rock blaster. Younger children in the household
then (all born in GA) are
Samuel L. (?) 5
Sarah A. 8
Eliza J. 6
Carrie 1
Joel's parents may be Frederick (44) and Edah (33?)Cheek, both born in NC and
living next door to Joel and Elizabeth in 1850 in Greene Co. GA.
Do any of these names ring any bells? Thanks in advance for your help. Good
Luck in your searches.

Hi ya'll,
These are my husband's CHEEKs: Anderson Cheek was born ca 1760-1770 in NC
and moved to Campbell Co., TN area (east Tenn.) in the late 1790's. His
wife's name was Sarah (some say she was a full blood cherokee, but I've
found nothing to confirm this.) Anderson Cheek and his son Anderson Cheek
moved to Marion co., TN in the 1820's where Anderson Cheek, Sr. died and is
buried. I know of 2 of his children: his dau. Sarah Cheek born 1797 NC;
marrried Barnabus Alder ca 1810 in Campbell Co., where they lived and died.
And his son Anderson Cheek, Jr. born 1798 NC; married Sarah Chaudoin in
east Tenn; moved to Marion Co. with his parents. I am trying to find out
who Anderson's parents were and where they were in NC before moving to TN.
Is anyone familiar with these Cheeks?

Sorry, me again. I see that you & Debra both list Elisha Cheek 7 his children,
only you list more children & different wife. Was Elisha married twice?
Barbara Cheek

Still looking for my connection of Cheeks that ended up in AR.

have hit a hard brick wall. Hope someone in this list will have some info I
need
Happy Hunting,

To all subscribers to the Cheek list.
We now have more than fifty subscribers to the Cheek list and I think some of
us could obtain some much needed information if we could generate some mail.
So I am suggesting that each of us post a list of the Cheeks that we have or
the ones we are looking for. I will start by posting what I have. I am doing
this research for my friend Robert Cheek of St. Louis Missouri, so I am
posting the information that he has given me. He is looking for information
on:
William L. Cheek b. Sept. 20, 1827 In Illinois (Perry County?)
He has information on:
Wife Anna McCrossen b. March 10, 1836 d. Dec. 25, 1876
Children:
Mary b. Jan 24, 1850
Margaret b. Jan. 25, 1853
John S. b. Nov 15, 1854 d. Dec. 8, 1855
Robert T. b. Nov. 13, 1856 d. Mar. 15,1926
William L. b. Oct. 1, 1859 d. May 16, 1945
Andrew P. b. Feb. 19,1862 d. Dec. 1894
Rebecca b. Apr. 13, 1865
Alexander b. Aug. 26, 1867
Rosana b. June 17, 1870
It is rumored that William L. Cheek was a full blooded Cherokee Indian.
Thank you very much.
Dale
