From a Web genealogy: "William arrived with his brother, Thomas in Massachusetts around 1642. He settled in Billerica at that time. He was married to Rebecca Addington, and this may provide some indication as to how he got to Massachusetts. Rebecca's brother, Isaac Addington, was the Captain of a ship which made runs between England, Virginia, and Massachusetts. It is possible that Isaac sailed William, along with his family (and brother's family) from England. It was during the mid 1600's, however, that a large number of Virginia colonists moved from Virginia to Massachusetts; since there were also Chamberlains in the Virginia colony at that same time, and since there is evidence that these two groups are related, it is more likely that William originally arrived in Virginia and then moved north to Massachusetts. If so, he would most likely have done so with the assistance of his brother-in-law." Spouse: Rebecca Addington. Children were: Thomas Chamberlain. Thomas P. Chandler was born (date unknown).

Parents: Dr. Marion Alphonso Cheek and Sarah Adorna Bradley. Dr. Marion Alphonso Cheek died in 1895. From the Chiang Mai Newsletter, by Dr. Ted Brown: "McGilvary was followed by other Presbyterian missionaries who were truly doctors, the first three being Dr. Vrooman, Dr. Cheek and Dr. Cary, in that order. Dr. Vrooman and Dr. Cary stayed only a few years. Dr. Cheek, who arrived in 1875, was the most colourful and tragic missionary doctor in Chiang Mai's history. Dr. McGilvary recruited Cheek from his home state of North Carolina and obviously had high hopes for him. The two became brothers-in-law when Dr. Cheek married one of Dr. Bradley's other daughters, Sarah Adorna. Dr. Cheek raised a pledge of 10,000 dollars from the U.S.A. to build a hospital in Chiang Mai, but the Mission board would not allow it. He was greatly disappointed and embittered. Meanwhile, the Mission was disturbed by his business activities and attempts to have a private clinic. He quit the mission in 1885. Subsequently, his wife left him and took their children to live in the U.S.A. He became a teak wallah (trader) and acquired several wives. One missionary complained in 1891 that Dr. Cheek had the only sawmill in Chiang Mai and had repeatedly directed his foreman not to saw any lumber for the mission hospital then being built. Cheek ran afoul of some governmental and royal personages and was barred from the logging trade in Siam and Laos. An attempt was made on his life, but he managed to fight off five ruffians with a heavy cane. At the time of his death in 1895, he was the defendant in a lawsuit of such magnitude that it was discussed in the U.S. Senate. To his credit, he designed a sturdy bridge built at the site of what is today the walking bridge to the Warorot market. The original bridge was removed because it was obstructing the teak logs floating down the Ping River. He helped to build the old church located next to the Ping River, one hundred meters south of the Nawarat bridge. It is now home to the Chiang Mai Christian School. Rev. J.J. Thomas wrote of his death, 'No man has done more in a few years for our mission here, and no man has been so- I was about to say hated- but I will say pitied and discarded by his former friends and loved ones because of what they deemed a misspent and bad life, as Dr. Cheek.' " Clarence Blachly reported the following: "Dr. Cheek conducted a large teak lumber industry in Northern Siam. Thirty nine elephants were used to handle the timber. It was floated down the river to Bankok. When Dr. Cheek died the Siamese Government confiscated the industry. Damages were sought by the family under international law and eventually $250,000 was awarded Mrs. Cheek. The case was celebrated and established several principles of international law. (National Cyclopedia of American Biography, Vo.. 10, p. 261.) Several letters written by Mrs. Cheek (who was a very poor speller) are preserved by the Library of Congress." From San Francisco Call, Volume 78, Number 42, 12 July 1895: DEATH OF DR. M. A. CHEEK. A Councilor of the King of Siam Passes Away Suddenly. The Government Is Heavily Indebted to the Deceased— Facts of His Life. Dr. Marian A. Cheek, a pioneer American in Siam, and one of the most influential men in that kingdom, is dead, and his wife and family, who are sojourning in Oakland, have been apprised of the fact by cable. The deceased was born in Arkansas forty-two years ago. When but a mere boy his parents moved to North Carolina, where he received his early education. At the age of 16 he entered the Baltimore Medical College, where he graduated four years later with high honors. He decided that his life-work should be that of a medical missionary, and with that intention he set sail soon after his graduation for Siam, where he resided continuously up to the time of his death. He worked under the auspices of the Presbyterian Missionary Board. For ten years Dr. Cheek continued his work as a physician and missionary combined, when he decided that he could do more for the natives by introducing American inventions and appliances. Accordingly he went into the general merchandise business and succeeded in becoming quite wealthy. He imported into Siam the first guns and ammunition,and built the first steamboat there. On account of his amiable disposition and numerous kind acts the natives became greatly attached to him. From all over the province they went to him to be healed. The King and chief Princes employed him as their chief Consul. From the northern portion of the country about Laos he went to Bangkok, where he engaged in the lumber business on a large scale. In a short time Ihe doctor came into possession of extensive forest tracts and was working very large forces of natives in getting out the valuable teak wood used for ornamentation. Some Englishmen interested the officials, who caused his franchises to be forfeited. Lying in a stream just outside of Bangkok 16,000 teak logs were seized by the Siamese Government. Dr. Cheek was working under the American flag and he appealed to the United States Government tor protection. Negotiations are now being made between Washington and the American Consul at Siam for damages, which amount to several hundred thousand dollars, to be paid by the Government. Mrs. Cheek, who resides at 672 Eighteenth street, Oakland, learned a few days ago by cablegram that her husband was dead.. No particulars were given. Five children are left to mourn the loss of their father. The mother came here to give her children an education. The oldest boy, Adolph, is a student at the Oakland High School and stands very high as an athlete, being the champion all-round athlete of the Pacific Coast. Spouse: Sarah Adorna Bradley.
