Richard Cheney was born abt 1639 in London, England. He was the son of Richard Cheney (1616-1684) and Mary Charity Wood Cheney (1620-1668).
There is some confusion about whether Richard was born in the USA or in England. There is one document from ancestry.com where you can order his birth certificate from Anne Arundel County, MD, and there is another document which shows his name and both of his parents: Passenger and Immigration Lists Index, 1500s-1900s about Richard Cheney Name: Richard Cheney Year: 1658 Place: Maryland Source Publication Code: 2524.55 Primary Immigrant: Cheney, Richard
Annotation: Date and port of arrival. Extracted from Maryland Land Office records of patents and warrants. Reference to original record or transcript and microfilm number are also provided. Other historical and genealogical information may also be provided. The first Source Bibliography: GIBB, CARSON. A Supplement to The Early Settlers of Maryland. Annapolis, MD: Maryland State Archives, 1997. 248p. Page: 46
One has to wonder if this is a record of a family from England, now living in the USA who have taken a trip to visit family in England or for business in England, then coming back in to the USA at the state of Maryland, or were they moving from England to the USA, then where does this birth certificate (or document of birth in Maryland) 9 years before come in?
Richard married Eleanor (Pindell) (Rydell) (1640-1709) in 1667 at Anne Arundel, Maryland, United States. Richard was 28, and Mary was 27. Eleanor was the daughter of Adolphus Pindell (1609–1681) and Louisa (Hammond) Pindell (1624–1700)
Richard and Eleanor (Pindell Rydell) Cheney had 10 known children, all born in Anne Arundel Couny, Maryland, USA between the years of 1681-1700: Mary, Richard, John, Joseph, Benjamin, Elizabeth, Anne, Samuel, Hannah and Susanna.
Richard died on 6 Dec 1704 in South River, Anne Arundel, Maryland, United States. He was 65 years old.
Read this article from the Baltimore Sun: "Homebuilding site develops into an archaeological find; Cheney homestead from 1650s offers remnants, mystery" In this article, we have learned that Richard & Charity first came to the Maryland colony in 1649. "The Cheney family is believed to have left England soon after King Charles I was beheaded in 1649, said descendant Bill Chaney, a Revolutionary and Civil wars buff who visited the site earlier this month" (1999). "A 1955 genealogical paper referred to his ancestor as a Royalist".
What Bill Chaney knew from the 1955 genealogical paper on his family was that the family came from the Isle of Sheppey and that Richard Cheney financed his passage to America. Richard and Charity had four children. After Charity's death, Richard remarried and had seven more children. "The structures would have been built about 24 years after the founding of Maryland colony". The family home was located about 5 miles from Annapolis. The homestead, called Cheney Hill, built in 1658. This site is perched on a steep knoll off Riva Road and the South River. Apparently all children were born in Anne Arundel County, MD and all went to the All Hallow's Church and are buried there.
