Dear Jim, The documented origins I have for Candace ALLEN are the North Carolina marriage bond and a MO death certificate for one of her children (Charity CHEEK SHELLEY). Her name appears in both as Candace ALLEN. I have no documentation at this point for her parentage, only the theory that her parents were Drury ALLEN and Rebecca CHAMPION. Your information helped stimulate formulation of that theory. I had known there were quite a few CHEEKs in Arkansas, but was unclear as to whether any of them traced from NC through KY. By the way, it is possible to establish a genetic link with the NC CHEEK families. See www.moonzstuff.com Keep in touch, Kevin in MO
