Just came across your message, hopefully you will receive this reply.Mae Cleek Twichell was Mrs. L. P. Twichell who lived in Williamsville, NY in 1978, as I have letters dated and written from her w/this address.She was born near Kingsport, Sullivan Co., TN on Jan 21, 1918 and is the dau. of Alvin Roller Cleek who was b. in Scott Co., Va, near the town of Gate City.He moved them all to Illinois when she was an infant and she grew up on a farm near the twon of Champaign-Urbana, Ill.
Mrs. Twichell was doing a lot of reasearch on the Cleeks and in her letter she states that she had traced her line of Cleeks back to Mathias Cleek who served in the French-Indian War in the year 1758.Her grt grt grt grandfather was Boldas Cleek thru his daughter Margaret Cleek who married Mathias Cleek, Jr. (she thinks Mathias Cleek Jr. was the son of Mathias Cleek Sr who was probably a brother to Boldas Cleek).If you would like add'l information from her file I would be happy to forward it to you.
