Talk:Thomas Cheek

Alleged son in Virginia is utterly false

This article has been edited by some biased person, probably in the United States, trying to gin up a fake pedigree to living descendents in Virginia. This is false. We know it is false because as per the biography at History of Parliament, when his wife died (the one he allegedly had a mystery son with "in Virginia" according to Wikipedia) here is what the official historians of Parliament say:

"Lady Katherine’s sudden death, though tragic, cleared the way for Cheke to remarry, for until now he had failed to produce the heir necessary to prevent his estates from escheating to the Crown after his death".

This means, definitively, he has no living children from his first marriage. Full stop. It is not only merely wrong to edit this article to baselessly claim this man had a son "in Virginia" (and with apparently biased living descendents as well) it strictly contradicts the factual sources. 2600:4040:5AEF:B400:648C:55B8:64A3:FE67 (talk) 23:46, 30 January 2025 (UTC)
