Welcome!
Rebecca Moon has graciously entrusted her website, The Cheek Family of Alleghany County, North Carolina, to the Alleghany Historical - Genealogical Society. If you've visited before, you probably won’t notice changes. We've updated the Creative Commons license and the "contact me" links now point to the Society.
To find what you are looking for on this website, try the search engine or the surname index. There are also surname-specific site maps for the Andrews, Cheek, Cox, Crouse, and Edwards families.
