CLEEK book no help on either of these.) What happened to Michael? Who were his descendants? Where in TN did Mathias go? Have found a will for a Michael "Click" in Hawkins Co., TN from 1814. Be- lieve this is too late for above Michael Cleek. However, Michael "Click" named sons, Jacob, Michael and Mathias (VA. Cleek names) and 2 other sons, George and John. His wife was Margaret ?. Could he have been a grandson of the original Michael or Mathias. It is known that Mathias lived in Botetourt Co, as he and wife Margaret sold land there is 1772 and bought land in Botetourt in 1774. Any help would be appreciated.
