Does any one have any info on a JONAS Cheek? He is listed in the 1850 Lee Co
Va as one year old with James & Nancy Cheek and siblings
Issac
Delila
Mary F.
Then he shows up in McMinn Co TN in the 1870 with wife Amanda & son William 2
years old.
Could this be my long lost parents of My William M Cheek b 1868 in TN?

Hi Mavis & Jeff
Interesting to note Mavis's comments about Cheek's in New Zealand, I have a letter from descendants of the New Zealand Cheek's with the following comments:
Two families of Cheeks emigrated to New Zealand in the 1800's and had 3 or 4 children each, they then swapped wives and had about another 5 children each, then they all changed their names to CHICK and if you look up the New Zealand phone book today there are plenty of CHICK's and, I think 3 CHEEK's.
Just interesting gossip on the way through, however, I do have the letter.
Further apparently our mob in Australia has some links with the Falklands mob, too.
Best regards
David Cheek - Adelaide - Australia
Hi Jeff
This is a great web-site - lots of info on the UK Cheeks and many thanks for
all this. Over the years I have been in touch with a lot of UK Cheeks who
all think they are descended from the Mottistone Cheeks, but none of us have
been able to find the missing link! Have you found a link I wonder? I was
interested in your reference to a Miss Kathleen Draycott, whose mother was a
Cheek and was apparently descended from the Mottistone Cheeks, especially
as she lived in East Sussex - I had a distant Cheek relative in East Sussex
(now sadly deceased) and wonder if there was some connection.
Sir John Cheke's sister Mary did, indeed, marry the first Lord Burghley -
the Exeter line of the Cecils (the other being the Salisburys of Hatfield
House). By a strange coincidence I spent two weekends ago at Burghley House
and was singing in the local parish church at Stamford on the Sunday - I was
sitting in the Burghley Chapel of the church right next to the tomb of
"Mariam: sororem Ioannis Cheek" (surname spelt like that, which was a
surprise in those days). The rest of the inscription was also in Latin which
I'm working on!
I was also interested in the reference to Andrew Aguecheek (Shakespeare's
Twelfth Night) as I had also heard of this. I haven't come across a Phillip
Cheek recently in England, although this was a common name in my family in
the past. Any contact address for him would be much appreciated.
Incidentally, the Cheeks seem to have emigrated to many parts of the world.
I have recently discovered branches of my own Cheek ancestry as far apart as
the Falkland Islands and New Zealand.
Thanks again for the info.
Regards,
Mavis Warner

IHello David and Mavis both,
I first find my Cheek ancestors in America only. A man from Isle Of
Wight, England wrote me one time tho and said "Your Cheek ancestor came from
the Isle of Wight. They lived in Merstone Mansion for over 400 years". He
sent me a bit of lineage and story. Did you know of this Cheek?

Hi David
Welcome to the list. I have been on it for quite a while and have also come
to the conclusion that it is all American as I can't recall ever having seen
a message relating to Cheeks outside the USA. Like you, my Cheeks were in
the UK - but in Hertfordshire. I know there was a Somerset family but cannot
help I'm afraid as I don't think they were related.
However, good luck and I would be interested to know if there are any other
UK lurkers out there, particularly with a Herts connection?
Cheers,
Mavis Warner

Hi All, I am new to this list and wonder whether its the right place or not. I have been reading various messages and it looks to me like an All American site.
Well here goes, I am from Australia and the only CHEEK doing family tree research on CHEEK's in Australia with our line from John CHEEK who married Elizabeth GILL on October 17, 1732 in Milverton, Somerset, England.
Our line goes direct to Halse and Milverton from my GG grandfather Robert CHEEK who married Jane FRY in Halse, Somerset on October 10, 1832. John CHEEK was Robert's GG grandfather.
Has any one researched around through these families in Somerset?
After spending quite considerable time trawling through the Parish Registers of both towns it would appear that John CHEEK was the first CHEEK so entered in the Milverton Parish Register with his marriage. Where did he come from??
The first CHEEK name that I can locate in the Halse Parish Register is a John Cheek in 1762 issuing his Marriage Banns to marry an Anne LOCK. This Robert was the second son of John CHEEK from Milverton.
Further where did all the CHEEK's go after the late 1880's from this area. Did they all go to America never to be seen again or what?
Any kind person with some thoughts or information I would be most grateful if they would advise

Entire 1790-1920 U.S. Census to be Available Online Soon
One of the dreams of genealogists is about to come true: the ability to view
any or all of the original census records by using a home computer. You no
longer need to travel to a distant library or Family History Center during
the hours they are open. Soon you will be able to view the same images at
any hour of the day or
night while comfortably seated at home.
This isn't the first online census database. A few smaller such databases
have already appeared. However, these were quite small in comparison,
featuring only the 1790 records or census records of particular cities or
counties for a few years. Now SierraHome and their rather newly acquired
Heritage Quest division have
announced that they will be placing all the U.S. Census records online, from
1790 through 1920. Best of all, this database will contain actual images of
the original records in the enumerators' handwriting. Such records are much
more accurate than the more error-prone transcriptions made by clerk
typists.
One fact about this new database that fascinates me is its size: It will be
about 3.5 terabytes on the day it launches, making it the largest single
database on the Internet. (A terabyte is 1,000 gigabytes or one million
megabytes.) The database is expected to grow to 10 terabytes as more data is
added.
Here is an extract from the announcement from Generations and Heritage
Quest:
GenealogyDatabase.com
The World's Largest Online Family History Resource
Breaking News -- What's the Scoop?
This fall, SierraHome's Generations brand and Heritage Quest will be
launching GenealogyDatabase.com with the very first online collection of all
U.S. Census images from 1790 - 1920. (1920 was the last year released to the
public because of the 72-year waiting period. The 1930 census will be
released on April 1, 2002.) Heritage Quest is also working on indexes for
each year, and has already completed 1790, 1800 and 1870.
This is a monumental step forward for online genealogy resources and
will be of great interest to serious genealogy enthusiasts and newbies
alike. The census is widely regarded as the most important primary source
for tracing one's family heritage. GenealogyDatabase.com will be the
largest collection of primary source documents on the Web, many of which
will be searchable through Heritage Quest's painstaking efforts to extract
the names into indexes which link directly to the digitally enhanced image
pages.
GenealogyDatabase.com will also be accessible through HeritageQuest.com
and SierraHome.com. The site will be subscription-based, comparable to
other genealogy sites currently online. We will update you on the pricing
model when it becomes available. The most important thing to keep in mind
is that genealogyDatabase.com will be the ONLY site offering the entire
collection of U.S. Federal Census images for people to access from the
comfort of home.
Just How Big is This?
The sheer magnitude of the site is newsworthy in its own
right; it will be the world's largest known web-enabled
database. We will be posting approximately 3.5 terabytes of
images and data at launch, with a goal of 10 terabytes of
Heritage Quest resources being posted in the foreseeable
future. To put things in perspective, Microsoft's famed
Terrabase Server of spy satellite images is 1.5 terabytes. In
July 1999, Nature Magazine estimated the basic data in the
entire World Wide Web to constitute roughly 15 terabytes, so
this site is breaking new ground both in terms of size and
importance to family history enthusiasts everywhere.
The Census data alone is the equivalent of 12,555 rolls of
microfilm and sells for $250,000. There will be 10 million
images of Census pages at launch, representing more than 500
million Americans. Heritage Quest is committed to indexing
new names at the astounding rate of 500,000 per week!
Anything else I should I know about?
Furthermore, we intend to make this a living Web community.
One feature we're working on for the site will be a "sticky
note" technology where members can leave messages behind for
others looking at the same page of the census. Keep in mind
that census entries were done door-to-door, meaning that
families listed on the same census page were neighbors. Many
genealogists believe it's essential to research in clusters,
since people simply didn't move as often or as far back in the
18th and 19th centuries. GenealogyDatabase.com members can
leave behind messages requesting information, pictures, or
even correct errors that they know to exist on that particular
census page. NOTE: This "sticky note" technology will not be
available at launch, so genealogists should check back because
we will be adding new names and features each week once the
site launches! With a site this huge, we will be introducing
new innovations in stages.
Give me the nitty gritty details.
At launch, GenealogyDatabase.com will offer:
* Digital images of the U.S. Census from 1790 - 1920.
* The most accurate indexes for the years 1790, 1800, and 1870,
which will let site members type in the names of ancestors and
link directly to the digital images of handwritten census
pages. (Keep in mind that these are fresh extractions of the
census. It was determined that existing indexes were filled
with errors, which was unacceptable to us. Heritage Quest has
recently completed fresh extraction's of these three census
years. Other years are in the works.)
* Approximately 3.5 Terabytes of images and data - possibly the
largest single database on the Internet, and definitely the
largest genealogy database in terms of size
And much more to come. . . Heritage Quest is the world's
largest private supplier of genealogical data and we fully
intend to bring these resources online to aid people in their
quest to discover their family heritage.
Who's Creating this Monumental New Web Resource?
Heritage Quest is the world's largest private commercial
supplier of genealogy data. In 1999, Havas Interactive
acquired Heritage Quest, which became a part of SierraHome and
the Generations line of CD-ROM and online genealogy tools.
Heritage Quest's vast collection of family history data
includes more than 250,000 titles of books, CDs, microfilm and
the nationally acclaimed Heritage Quest magazine. These can
be ordered online at www.heritagequest.com or by phone at 800-
760-2455.
The "sticky note" feature looks particularly appealing. Even the
original census records had errors; now genealogists will be able
to append notes containing corrections or comments to individual
census entries.
You might want to keep an eye on the Web site at:
http://GenealogyDatabase.com. There's not much available at that
URL today, but that will change sometime later this year. I expect
to write more about this new U.S. Census database as the launch
date draws near.
UNQUOTE
I visited the site just a few minutes ago and there is no pricing
information there yet. I will keep you informed.

It seems as if all of us are researching unrelated lines! I am tracing the
descendants of Valentine CHEEK (1787-1866), son of Randal (Randolph) CHEEK and
Margaret VAN HOOSE of Montgomery Co., NC, and Giles Co., TN. According to
tradition, Valentine was the only male child to have children. And although he
himself had seven children, most were daughters who married into the BROOKS,
DAVIS (three times) and COOPER families in Fayette Co., AL. Some of these
families later moved to Tishomingo Co., MS, but most eventually settled in Red
River Co., TX, between 1846-1859. I have attached a link to my CHEEK website.
Feel free to check it out, even though none of you are related ;-)
