• LINCOLNSHIRE. The probate records contain wills of many persons by the name of Cheney and Cheyney from a remote period. Thomas Cheney of Quadring, 1520 ; Christopher Cheyney, Grantham, 1620 ; John Cheney, Bennington, 1624; Thomas Cheney, Howell, 1633. The latter was entitled "Esquire"; gave to his wife Bridget, daughters, Ann, Elizabeth, and Jane ; brother William Chiney ; signs "Thomas Cheyney." The will of John of Bennington is worthy of perpetuation. He was one of the wardens of his parish and apparently a man of fine qualities.

• Right here it is proper to consider the matter of the other Cheney family which resided in Roxbury in those early times. The 133'd entry in the list of church members is this: —
• ' "John Cheny he came into the Land in the yeare 1635. he brought 4 children, Mary, Martha, John, Daniel. Sarah his 5't child was borne in the last month of the same yeare 1635, cal'd February, he removed from o'r church to Newbery the end of the next suer 1636.

Martha Cheny the wife of John Cheny."

• Only that ! Not a word as to whether he was related to the man "William Cheny" whose wife the good parson was to write down a few pages beyond ! The family name, which he spelled the same, suggests kinship. Yet the Reverend recorder describes Philip Eliot in glowing terms without a hint that he was his own brother, although he makes note under Thomas Ruggles who " came in the yeare 1637," that "he was Eld'r broth'r to John Ruggles" who had been enrolled before as having come in 1635. There is nothing to be concluded from the omission of a statement concerning the relationship of the " Cheny" families.
