Hi List I have joined this List in the hope that I can unearth bits and pieces about CHEEK families in Rhode Island, located around Providence and Pawtucket in the main.... I am the main scribe for CHEEK research with my ancestry coming from Wiveliscombe, Somerset, England in the mid 1500's and with tree branches of 3 different CHEEK families in RI or going through from 1850 onwards, namely, Philip & family 1852 (passed through after a year or two, and went to Wisconsin), James & family in mid 1850's ( passed through and after about 5 years went to Ohio and returned after 1860) and Henry & family in about 1875, who remained and reared their family(ies) in Providence... I have a particular interest on where to go to locate exact birth, death and marriage dates and data for a swag of CHEEK's after the 1850's.... James and his family is a brick wall which was collapsed about 6 weeks ago after many years of frustration, however, a lot of my current information either does not make sense or I can't find definitive information???? OK, I have the data from the various Census returns, however, that data is very short on detail.... I have used Ancestry.com for searches in RI and again the data seems to be restricted to broad time frames which is not really what I am looking for?? Any help or direction pointing would be most appreciated Best regards David Cheek - Adelaide - Australia Protected by Norton Anti-Virus 2006 Transcriber of Parish Registers in South West Somerset and FreeBMD
John Cheek, killed by David Hobbs, while drunk, at Hillsboro, NC, Patriot (newspaper) 29 Aug 1827. John Cheek, killed by David Hobbs, both drunk. American (newspaper) 24 Aug 1827. Don't know if this is one of your family, but thought I would send it along.
