Dear Debbi,
I'm sorry. I could only find one Elijah CHEEK who met your criteria. I have no documentation for him.
Also, I was unable to find his daughter, Mary Margaret CHEEK. However, I did find the following children; Thomas H. Cheek, Mark R. Cheek, George W. Cheek, Sarah Cheek and Louisa Cheek.
Best wishes,
Terry Cheek

Tery,
Thanks for the info. Do you know of any documentation for this relationship? I've worked with another Cheek researcher, and we came to the conclusion that there may have been more than one Elijah Cheek in VA in the early 1800s

I'm looking for information on Elijah Cheek. It appears he was born about 1798 in Virginia. He married Mary "Polly" HOLTZMAN in Shenandoah County, VA in 1818. A daughter, Mary Margaret, married William H. STOKES in Rappahannock County, VA in 1843. By 1850, the family was in Shelby County, Tennessee. In 1860 they were just across the state/county line in Crittenden County, Arkansas.
I'd like to find out who Elijah's parents were. I'd also like to confirm a date of death - I've been told he died in TN in 1863. If anyone has anything on this family, I'd love to share information.
Debbi

I am trying to trace Lota Cheek who was the first wife of my grandfather. I believe there is a lady of that name who was born in 1899 in Georgia but I have no further information. My family history is a bit of a mystery, but I know that my grandfather married in America before returning to England sometime in the 1930's or early 1940's. If anyone knows anything about her I would be really interested. Thanks!

Has NO living children.

MAY have 1 son born 1920 living?
(3) Jesse Clyde born 17 Jul 1890 Jackson MS - died 12 Aug 1942 Travis Co TX. Married Mary [unknown].
MAY have a dtr born 1919 living? other children unknown...
NOTE: Jesse Clyde's birthplace "Jackson MS" is from his WWI draft registration and I do not know if it is Jackson County, MS or a city named Jackson in MS.
I do not known when or where James Franklin Sr died but by 1900 Josephine [McDuffie] Nunnellee was widowed and in living in Polk Co TX:
1900 Polk Co TX/8 Justice Prec/HH 236-249/pg 183b
(13 Jun 1900)
Nunnelee, Josephine P /HH/wf age 42 born Feb 1858 AL/Al/Ga widow 3 of 4 chn lvg

Nunnelee, Jodie H /son/wm age 13 born Aug 1886 MS/Al/Ms
Nunnelee, Jessie J /son/wm age 09 born Jul 1890 MS/Al/Ms
I am 95% certain that this is James Franklin Nunnellee Sr in the census below...
1870 Lauderdale Co MS/Meridian/HH 558-558/pg 56a
(25 Jul 1870)
NUNELLY, Walter H /HH/wm age 38 AL
Nunelly, Amanda /wf age 28 TN
Nunelly, Mary E /wf age 14 MS
Nunelly, Franklin /wm age 12 MS
Nunelly, George /wm age 14 MS
Nunelly, Wily /wm age 07 MS
Nunelly, Sarah /wf age 04 MS
Nunelly, Louise /wf age 03 MS
Walter and Amanda married 24 Jun 1870 Lauderdale Co MS and just 1 day before the 1870 census was taken.
However, Amanda 1st married a "Mr Nunnelee" so I do not know whether James was Walter or Amanda's son ???
I am certain, however, that Amanda's 1st husband was Walter's brother because..........
(a) 1880 Bradley Co AR/Pennington/HH 62-86/pg 4a
(03 Jun 1880)
NUNLEY, Walter H /HH/wm age 50 AL/Ga?/Ga?
Nunley, Amanda /wife/wf age 45 TN/Ga/Tn
Nunley, George L /Step-son/wm age 19 MS/Al/Tn <<<
Nunley, Martha S /Step-dtr/wf age 15 MS/Al/Tn <<<
Nunley, Louiza /Step-dtr/wf age 15 MS/Al/Tn <<<
(b) 1900 Bradley Co AR/Pennington/HH 279/pg 329a
(25 Jun 1900)
NUNNELEE, Walter H /HH/wm age 67 born Mar 1833 AL/Ga/Va
married 29 yrs
Nunnelee, Amanda /wife/wf age 67 born unk TN/Tn/Tn
1 of 4 chn lvg
NUNNELEE, George L P /NEPHEW/wm age 39 born Sep 1860 <<< MS/Ga/TN single
I do not know who Walter or Amanda's parents or siblings are
but because of the surname spelling Nunnelee and Nunnellee I am certain that Walter is a descendant of James Franklin Nunnelee or Walter Franklin Nunnelee both sons of William Womack Nunnelee and Ann [Franklin].
My money is on Walter's middle name being Hubbard or Hamilton and that his parents were Martha [Terrell] and Simeon Nunnelee son of James Franklin Nunnelee son of William Womack Nunnelee and Ann [Franklin].
One last item, Walter received a CSA pension :
"W. H. NUNNELLEE applied for a Confederate pension from Bradley Co AR in 1908, citing his service in Co D, 20th Mississippi Infantry. His application was approved on August 6, 1908. Amanda Nunnellee also applied for a Confederate pension from Bradley County in 1912, stating that her husband had died on August 10, 1911. Her application was approved on August 8, 1912. The PENSION record file NUMBER is 4039."
If anyone can share any information on the ancestry or descendants of this "orphaned" Nunnellee family I would deeply, deeply appreciate it.
