Fictitious Additions and Richard Cheney Legend

There are several fictitious additions to John Cheney:

• Numerous popular genealogies show a marriage of John Cheney to Mary Gyles. No credible records have been found of such a marriage
• Numerous popular genealogies shown John Cheney and Mary Gyles having a son Richard. The 1526 will of Humphrey Cheney, father of John, mentions a grandson William but not a grandson Richard.

Therefore in order to maintain WikiTree as a source of documented genealogy, links in the data field to Mary and Richard have been removed.

This profile is categorized in the Richard Cheney Legend, reflecting the fact that some, although by no means not all, facts associated with this profile are fictitious. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Cheney-492
