Notes	Emigrated to America in about 1650. Skordas records a Richard Cheyney who "Immigrated 1658." According to Whitely, "Soon after landing he applied for land warrants and received first "Cheney's Hill" lying on South River. It is evident that he was a single man when he arrived in the Province because between the years 1634 and 1682 no female by the name of Cheney was listed among the emigrants. He however married twice. . . . By negotiating other warrants Richard Cheney soon became one of the largest land owners in South River Hundred" (139). He is included on the Quaker Ancestors page because his descendants married into a Quaker family. [7, 8, 9]
