No, Rabbi Chaikin from Cleveland comes from the Chaikin’s of Podebranke.
This rabbi Chaikin comes from the Chaikin’s of Shklov

With regards to Rabbi Chaikins work in translating the letter for the Rebbe Rashab, see also the following two articles penned by Rabbi Boruch Werdiger in the last two issues of the perspectives magazine:

I believe Rav Mordechai Zev (Hakohen) Gutnick served on the London Beis Din. He was a chabad chossid.

5684 is a mistake, it has now been corrected to 5644.

The Rebbe Rashab visited France in 5644. The Frierdiker Rebbe writes that during this visit he sent a few months in Paris. There was also a visit in 5648m but the only source about this visit only mentions the Rebbe Rashab spending time in the Menton health resort. It is possible that he visited Paris as well during this visit, but we have no evidence for an extended stay there. As a result, the description of the Rebbe Rashab’s relationship with R. Chaikin when he spent a few months in Paris is most likely from 5644. This is the conclusion reached in Admurei Chabad Veyahadus Tzarfas, p. 18.
