in early Rappahannock..area,VA records I find a variety of names that sound like Cheeke, sometimes the same people are refered to with a ch sound and other times with a silent softer sh, and sometimes with only an s sound. I'm especially interested in the Cheeke and Sieke or Seag living side by side with the older generations using the soft sh or silent h and the younger generations using the same names but spelling Cheek/Scheek. This is found in the mid 1600's Rappahanouk VA and in the early 1700's Berks/Lancaster area PA, and in the early 1835-40's Lowndes,Ala/Miss, 1845's/50's TX. Does anyone else think these may be early connections.
1640's-1700s Oliver, Randolph, Elizabeth, John, Thomas, Richard, William Segar/Seager in Rappah living on the Puscatecan Creek/Rappahanouk river next to Richard and William Holt/James Boughan, Peter Montague and George Ludlow.
In 1710 to mid 1750's PA has Michael Scherch/Schench, Erhard Scheckin, John Albrecht Siechele, John, Jacob and Joseph Scheauch/Scheuck/Scharch/Scheckin, Seiger, Valtein Scheck, Valentine Schockey, and Valentine Siek PA, (also Hans Jacob Schrakken/Schrackin and wife Euphrosina marry off two daughters in 1835-40)
In VA, John Skey 1711/1712 John Cheeke and Sinor 1714, John Chick 1714.
This all started because Janige Van Huss is Janige in church records in PA and Yonikey, Van Hoose in will records in Anson NC, so the g and the k have gone through some changes in our language. These vast differences in spellings have to do with the scribes writing the documents more than the nationality of the people. Who has an opinion on this?
