Some of my family were in Virginia by 1737

Here's a link for a little History of Virginia

Some of my family came from Great Brittain and here's a bit of history on what was going on in England

My James Chick came from Virginia and went to Knox County, Kentucky where he died about 1845.  James is thought to be the son Richard Chick; but from what I've been able to discover in my lines nothing has shown anyone in the family down from James to have named one of their sons after him.  I find that a bit unusal. 

The Cheek Family of Alleghaney Co., NC http://www.moonzstuff.com/cheek/james1762.html  lists my James Cheek/Chick (and various other spellings) who was the father of my Silas Chick of Knox County, Kentucky to be a son of Robert and Ann (Cocke) Cheek/Chick.  But, this site lists James' birthdate as Aug 16, 1762.  When James Chick of Greasy Creek, Knox Co., KY applied for a service pension from his service during the Revolutionary War, he gave his birthdate as 14 May 1760 and stated that he turned 72 on 14 May of 1832...the year he applied in 1832 .   He says that he enlisted in King and Queen County, VA at the age of 16 in June 1776.  

Apparently, there were 2 men about the same age named James Cheek/Chick who served from Virginia and people are getting them confused.  It is probable that the above families  descended from John Cheek, Sr. born about 1650 (rough estimate) in either England or Virgiana and died between 1699-1709 Essex Co., VA.  His wife is yet unknown.  More information on John Cheek, Sr., of Old Rappahannock Co., Va is found at  http://www.moonzstuff.com/cheek/john1650.html
