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.
