While trying to find marriage information in Illinois I came across the
Illinois Statewide Marriage Index 1763-1900, and it contains many, many Cheek
marriages. It can be searched by county or statewide. I was able to locate
gr-gr-grandparents that I wasn't sure were ever really married.

Hi All,
I found this info on Sir John Cheke and his heirs which will
explain possibly why we can't seem to link back to old Sir Johns mob. It
seems they all karked it and sort of went extinct, well thats how I read
this item. on the good news dept I found an Edward Cheek being transported
to Virginia in 1750 from Devon His ref at the Devon Record office is
QS/129/50. are any of you American Cheeks descended from an Edward Cheeke
who "appeared" in Virginia about that Time?
Now read on about Old Sir John.:-
Administrative History
Cheeke
In 1670/1 Letitia (or Laetitia) Russell married Thomas Cheeke of Pirgo,
Essex, the second son of Sir Thomas Cheeke and Essex, daughter of the Earl
of Warwick.
The Cheeke family fortunes were founded by the Cambridge scholar Sir John
Cheke (1514-1557), who was rewarded with gifts of land by Edward VI, to whom
he had acted as tutor, on his accession. Cheke's support of Lady Jane Grey
led to his imprisonment and pardon, but after travelling abroad for two
years he was again imprisoned and deprived of his lands. On his abjuration
of protestantism in 1556 the lands were restored, but he was forced to
exchange them with the Queen for others. (The deed whereby this exchange was
made, the only item relating to Sir John in the Archer collection, does not
come within the scope of this list.)
Sir John's eldest son Henry was also something of a scholar or at any rate a
translator, but by the time we come to the end of the 17th century and the
Cheekes with whom this collection is concerned they do not appear to have
been particularly distinguished academically. They were, however, more amply
landed than ever; Pirgo, the family seat, was bought in 1621 from Lord Grey
of Groby, and the manors of Childerditch and North Weald from the Earl of
Warwick at about the same time.
Although Thomas was the second son his father made a settlement in 1652 by
which the estate bypassed Robert, the elder brother, in favour of his own
children, leaving Robert with an annuity of £400 for life and instructions
not to molest the trustees. Certain specific properties were settled on
Thomas, but ultimately the whole estate reverted to him through the death of
Robert's children.
Letitia Russell was Thomas Cheeke's second wife. In 1668 he had married
Dorothy Sydney, daughter of Philip viscount L'Isle and future Earl of
Leicester, but she died only a month after the marriage, (a circumstance
which gave rise to [...] some wrangling over her marriage settlement). In
April 1679 he was appointed Lieutenant of the Tower, in which office he
remained until June 1687 when James II removed him from it. As compensation
'for loss of office' the king granted to Edward and Francis Russell an
annuity of £600 for ten years, in trust for their sister Letitia and her
children; but as the Lieutenant's salary had never been paid since the very
early days of his appointment and was at this time £4,610:10:3½ in arrears,
besides which he had had to spend a considerable amount of his own money on
keeping the Tower in repair and other necessary expenses, it might be
supposed that the loss of this office would have been quite a blessing
financially.
However, the £600 was never paid either after the first instalment, so the
status quo was not greatly upset. A number of the documents in this section
relate to Thomas Cheeke's efforts to get payment of the crown's debt on this
score, which he reckoned at about £10,000, but at the time of his death in
1688 he had had no success, and it was left to his widow to carry on the
struggle.
Thomas Cheeke left two daughters and a son; Essex who died unmarried, Anne
who married Sir Thomas Tipping, and Edward; another son Henry had died in
his father's lifetime. From 1694 to 1698 Edward Cheeke travelled abroad with
his tutor, Germain Colladon, staying first in Geneva and then going on to
tour Italy, and the letters and accounts sent back to England by Colladon
form an important part of this section. In 1700 Edward married Anne,
daughter of Sir William Ellys (or Ellis) of Nocton in Lincolnshire; he was
appointed deputy lieutenant for Essex in 1703, but died in 1707, leaving a
son Edward. This child died in 1712, and Anne, now Lady Tipping, finally
inherited all the property.

herewith is some information on six cheek men who served in the military
during the civil war. my family does not connect directly with any of these
cheek men. however, out there some where, we are bound to be cousins. as you
will note, there are three cemeteries listed here. i do not know where these
are located. hopefully, someone has or will document these since there are
many more cousins there. my cheek linage comes from yadkin the old surry
county part of the world. if you have any information that would help me to
connect to these "cousins", please contact me;

Hi Nancy,
My gggrandfather, Ashere S. Cheek is also from Washington Co, ILL, born there
in 1805, Married to Permileon Webb there in 1839 and on the 1840 census with
his wife and several children (a Previous family?). Ive suspected he may
have been related to Shadrack but have not made any credable connection. Can
you share info that may help? I'ld be interested in finding out more and can
share what I have.

Jim,
Might Edby(?) Cheek be another son of Shadrack Cheek? He married in Washington Co to Rachel Morgan in 1839, and appears in the 1840 Census Washington Co, IL (I haven't seen the record yet), but does not appear in 1850. There's a marriage of a Rachel Cheek to George Fultz in 1849 in Monroe Co IL; maybe Edby died.
My interest is in connecting Rachel Morgan to my ancestor; I think she may be a sister. Any assistance on Edby and Rachel would be appreciated.
Natalie
David-this may not have anything to do with your ancestry, however, I have a
picture of a head stone made at the Asbury church in yadkin county, NC which
has the names inscribed by hand as follows; Louis a brown-1847-1928 and
America brown 1854-1941. This is probably just an ironic event that the name
"America" was given to a person. i just thought i would throw this into the
data bank and that someone else might also be looking for a person named
"America" it is a rare given name. i suspect with the dates and location that
you can readily identify any connection.

My GGGGrandmother Ann Cheek and her sister Mary Heather Cheek resided in Dewitt co. Illinois, Waynesville at one time. This is the extent of my information. There are no records of either one in the state of il. that I have been able to locate. Ann Cheek married Harry Robb. I don't know whom Mary Heather married. All I have is a photo of the two of them. Ann has the looks of Indian. I don't even know if they were full sisters. Please if anyone has any idea about these two! I would be very grateful.. Thank you
Hi Sara I have an Ashere S. Cheek born 1805 in Wa Co ILL, Married my

Hi David,
Firstly congratulations on transcribing Milverton, It is a
monumental task, by the way what are you going to do with it? Put it on the
net net like that guy who did the village in Derbyshire?
Back to Cheek Chick , my man was born William Cheek but when he joined the
army he was put down as Chick and stayed that way when he was demobbed in
India and his daughter stayed a Chick till she married my g grand father
and became White. The family that William left stayed as Cheeks. Ho Hum.
THere was a swag of Cheek/Chick/Chicks etc in Madras did any of yours go out
that way?
There was a Noah Chick or Cheek, can't remember which, in Bengal I did his
family tree till I realised they weren't mine, interesting mob ended up as
a lawyer in later generations. Did you loose a Noah?
See you
Bob

Wiveliscombe/Milverton/Halse area of Somerset, UK with the following
comments and items picked up.......
While I am now reasonably sure that CHEEK/CHICK in the UK can be one and the
same it is interesting to note in the Somerset Public Records Office (PRO)
that CHEEK & CHICK are mixed, combined, or whatever, within those records
with, I believe, the option of the researcher in most instances to use and
see which name "fits" or "suits", because both are used within the same
families.
As the written words can be so easily interposed, reading Parish Registers,

origin......I am just completing the FULL transcription of the Milverton,
Somerset, UK Registers which cover a period from 1615 through to 1900
(nearly 300 hundred years) with in excess 15,000 events being recorded, I
can show innumerable name changes for the same families during this
period.......through the exclusion or inclusion of a letter, style of

So whilst I personally go under the name of CHEEK, I am reasonably sure I'm

I am a Native American genealogist and you are correct about the census not
being reliable when it comes to our NA ancestors. We find a variety of ways
our ancestors are listed in the census. Sometimes "M" for "mulatto", and
occasionally "I" for Indian. They could also be listed black or white. It
all depended on the census-taker's perception and whether the individual
being interviewed was willing to admit to being Indian, which most in the
south did not after the removals to Indian Territory.

I was told that ALL Native Americans were either listed as W = White or
B = Black depending upon the particular family unit or the census taker.
This would indicate that using the census records for identifing race would
not be a dependable source. As to the Cheek family that my husband is
descended from there can be little doubt that They Are Native Americans. In
fact there is only one of my sons that can grow a beard. Now as to weather
this is from marriage of Cheeks to Native Americans or not I can not say
since I have just started my own actual research on my husbands family. I do
believe that both opinions are probably correct in that some of the Cheeks
came from Europe while some came from the south (maybe slaves maybe not). It
is quite simple to understand that there could and probably are two or More
different family lines. My father's family name of Colonel which is very
unusual has at least two different lines so why could this not be true of
the more common name of Cheek? The best thing I can see from this discussion
is that it gives everyone with the Cheek name more options of where to look
for new information.

I had read somewhere that the reason many of the Black Families that had a S
on the end of their name goes back to when their family were slaves. Most did
not have Last names and they took on their masters last name and added the S.
