Cleek Family in Tennessee
I hav some information on the Cleek family in Tennessee. My grandmother was Janie Tennessee Cleek born in Tennessee. Her Father was Andrew Jackson Cleek and her mom was Minnie Elizabeth Posey. I have some information on the Cleek side but almost none on the Posey side. I do know that the Posey(posy) were American Indian Desent

let me know if you ever hear about an Arnold Allen Cleek. He was born in Tennesee and he is my estranged father. I would like to meet him no luck yet.
I found where Andrew Thomas Cleek was married to Minnie Elizabeth Posey. I cannot find where Andrew Jackson Cleek was married to Minnie Elizabeth Posey. Andrew Jackson Cleek was married to Cenith Florence (Cenie) Agee. A.J. Cleek was my great grandfather. Neither my grandmother nor grandfather has any knowledge of A.J. Cleek being married to Minnie Elizabeth Posey.
My 2nd/3rd cousin JD Cleek out of Kingsport TN/Sullivan county, has done a lot of research on the Cleek/Click family history. You can reach him on Facebook. Also there is a reunion in June as well, he can provide you that information as well.
My grandad is Levin Franklin cleek from halls tenn.his wife was Jessie pearl Leonard . They had 4 kids Bobby, jim, nelda, Donald my father. Do you know if we have any relation?
dcleek - your grandad's parents were Thomas Walker Cleek and Lelia Brown. TW Cleek's parents were Shadrach Walker Cleek and Amanda Jane Cleek (first cousins). Shadrach's father was Joseph Cleek and Amanda's father was William Cleek, brothers. I am descended from Shade and Amanda.
You are right Andrew Thomas Cleek was married to Minnie Elizabeth Posey, this was posted when I first started hunting down my ancestors, But there were a few Andrew Jackson Cleeks in the area, The one I anm looking for was the father of Andrew, making sure he is the same one that married M J Posey. A lot of my family history is hard to find. My grandmother was Janie Tennessee Cleek, one of Andrew's daughters.
I have pics somewhere of Andrew, Minnie and Mattie J (posey) Cleek but not sure about the last pic just says Minnie's mom.
Ironhorse, i thought hiram P Poesy was Andrew's father and he married Martha Jane Cunnungham
Cunningham
What i meant to say is this: Hirum Poesy and Martha Jane Cunningham were Minnie Elizabeth Poesy's parents and Andrew Thomas Cleek was Minnie Elizabeth's husband.

Janie Tennessee Cleek is my grandmother too...I'm trying to find out about my Cherokee heritage...if we're talking about the same person then we are cousins.
My Dad is also Arnold Allen Cleek. I live in Tennessee. Contact me. I would like to know more.
