Dear List, Rebecca & Charles
To anyone who attended the reunion in Williamsburg recently, I would be most
interested to receive a broad brush of happenings or notable events during
reunion in Williamsburg....if there was any written material before or after
I would also be interested....
I know it was slack of me not to attend, however, distance and cost
prevented my attendance, I trust you will understand....
Waiting on any response, best regards

Are you still researching the Preston/Presley Cheek? From what I could find, Preston and Joseph were sons of Ephraim and Lavica Cheek.

Marlene Botkin, Sorry I've taken so long to respond to your message. Ruth Cheek Alyea was married to my great-grandfather Robert True Alyea. To this union 6 children were born, which includes my grandfather Elbert O. Alyea. I have lots of info on the Alyea side after she married my great-grandfather but nothing on Ruth's family.

I am searching for any information about Mary Ann Vinson, b. 1765 in Virginia. She married Francis Cheek and they had a son William Vincent Cheek who married Mary Buffington.
Any information about Mary Ann Vinson would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance!
