HISTORY OF SUMTER CO. GA.
by Jack F. Cow?
in association with The Sumter Historic Presevation Society.
Barbara,
My Cheeks came from Americus, Sumter County, Ga.
But I do not have a name of my William's father. The only Name I knew was
Lonnie, Could this have been L M?
Ruthie
Does anyone on the list have a Jasper Cheek listing? He is the father of
Harold Cheek. Harold lived in Florida and died there within the last 5 to 7
years (I believe) My mother is Mary Evelyn Cheeks from Phenix City, AL
daughter of John Lee (Levi) Cheeks born Jan 25, 1887 in Americus, Sumter
Co., GA son of Isaiah Woodson Cheek and Mary Elizabeth Buckner. Isaiah's
father was LM Cheek. I would appreciate any help or iniformation on Isaiah
or his father LM Cheek. I know that LM was in the CSA as my grandfather
told me stories of when I was a child. Barbara
Richard or anyone else, Do you have any information on LM Cheek or my
Isaiah? I have some more information I did not post but was hoping someone
would be able to help me. I know that both Isaiah and LM Cheek are buried
in Phenix City, AL along with their wives and assorted Cheek family
members. We are planning a trip there in the near future (when the weather
is cooler) and hope to gleam some information off the headstones. I will be
happy to share what I find. My brother has the Cheek family bible that went
through the Tampa, FL flood. I am not sure how my grandfather got it as
Uncle Bert was the one that moved to Tampa and he was murdered and his body
thrown in the river. I do not know how much is still legible as the pages
are in sad shape and so is the cover. Barbara

Barbara,
I believe your Isaiah Woodson is the man also known as Isaiah Joshua CHEEK,
b. ca 1847, the son of Major L. (who was later known as L.M.) CHEEK and
Barbie CRIDER. Major is the son of William CHEEK b. 29 Sep 1752 and his
third wife, Cinthy COKER.
Richard Orand Cheek
My brick walls are two,
James Cheek, born 1862 in Brunswick County, VA later moved to Bute then
Orange
County, NC. There James served in NC Militia and Married Patty Estridge. I
am looking for his father, I believe may be Robert, son of William the
brother of Richard.
Also, James' son Willis Amos who what born around 1805 married unk Ann,
perhaps Martha Williams, then moved to Chattooga County, GA in the late 1830s
early 1840s, I have his land records there.
Any help would be appreciated

John was in the Seige at Vicksburg, MS, confederate soldier. Died when
Roxanna (daughter) was 2 yrs old.
John's wife: Fannie EDWARDS (Have a little information on her line, but
she was daughter of Rubin EDWARDS and Rebecca HOWELL.....one of 7 siblings).

these CHEEKS.

Ok you guys we have a couple of new ones. If it is as hot were you live as it
is here in OK (Right Richard?) it is to hot to do anything out side.
So lets stir thing up :)
List your BRICK WALL
I will start even though most of you know mine.
I am stuck with William M. Cheek b 1868 in TN. I NEED his parents. Am leaning
toward maybe a James Cheek b 1848/49 in VA. But no proof.
My William at some point ended up in AR. Don't know when or how. But he
married a Narcissus Doss. They settled in Altus, AR and that is were they are
both buried.
Ok you other Cheek researchers. Lets hear if you guys have made any head way
with your elusive Cheeks.

Dear Stanley,
I read your email with much interest. Do you have any of Alfred Bass
Cheek's brother's and sisters? My great-grandmother was Hester Cheeks that
married a Dave Kilgore. They lived in Whitwell, TN. My grandparents were
Minnie Belle and Wilburn Kilgore. Does any of this sound familiar to you?
Looking forward to hearing from you!!

Hello,
My name is Stan Cheek and I've just added my name to the mailing list and
want to tell you about my family.
Alfred Bass Cheek a coal miner from Whitwell, TN (Marion County) married
Florence Kirk.
Alfred and Florence's Children: Minnie, Myrtle, Herman
Minnie May Cheek born 3-17-20 in Decherd, TN, died 5-11-95 in Decherd,
TN, married Guy Gilbert Spencer, no children
Myrtle Cheek ( no data)
Herman Elmous Cheek (my father), born 4-23-28 in Whitwell, TN, died 1-26-97
in Estill Springs, TN, married Edith Marie Gaskins from Lakeland, GA
- Herman and Edith's Children
Barbara Gail Cheek, born 4-21-54 in Winchester, TN
Stanley Herman Cheek, born 11-13-59 in Winchester, TN
Darrell Cheek, born 12-2-61 in Winchester, TN
Lisa Marie Cheek, born 12-27-63 in Cleveland, Oh
Kenneth Doyle Cheek, born 8-30-65 in Cleveland, Oh
One item I've found peculiar is that on Minnie's birth certificate the name
appears as Cheeks and on Herman's birth certificate the name appears as
Cheek. It appears that my grandfather dropped the "s" from the Cheek name
between 1920 and 1928. Was this common?
If anyone has any information on my grandfather Alfred Cheek or his
ancestors I would greatly appreciate it. If I can help you in any way let
me know.
