      John House, "Pioneers of Jackson County", Heart of Mill Creek:

      Cleek Family
      Peter Cleek came from Bath County, Virginia, to Mill Creek, probably some time before 1831. He had a large family of children, among them were:

      Nancy Cleek married Ben Baker, and lived near the mouth of Reedy until 1840, when Baker sold his farm to Hayes Paxton.

      Adam Cleek married Dollie Pfost.

      Elizabeth Cleek, the youngest daughter, married Robert R Riely.

      Also, I presume to be Peter Cleek's children:

      Peter Cleek, born about 1833.

      Frank Cleek.

      Francis Marion Cleek, born at Kentuck, in 1844. [son of George. . .bb]
