New England Families, Vol 3
"John Cheney, the immigrant ancestor, was born in England. 'John Cheney,' wrote
John Eliot, the famous Indian Apostle, minister of Roxbury, 'he came into the
land in the years 1636. He brought 4 children Mary, Martha, John, Daniel. Sarah
his 5th child was borne in the last month of the same year 1636 called February.
He removed from our church to Newbury the end of the next su'er 1636. Martha
Chany the wife of John Cheny.' At Newbury John Cheney prospered. His allotment
of land was large. He had a good stand in the 'old town' and on shore and
elsewhere. He had three acres granted, June 19, 1638, at the westerly end of the
great swamp behind the great hill; on August 25, six acres of salt marsh; then a
parcel of marsh with little island of upland on it, about twenty acres, little
river of the northwest, formerly a part of the calf-common, assigned to him July
5, 1639. - He died July 28, 1666, leaving a will dated June 5, 1666, written in
his own hand."
