He was given to me as father of Joseph - but with no documentation thus it has not been proven or verified that he is the father of father of Joseph and grandfather of Samuel

I have not been able to do any research on him more work and documentation has to be found to ty and clarify the relationships of the early Maryland Cheney lines

the Chaney/Cheney Line is of Anne Arundel county Maryland

he has been stated as being Richard and Mary (Riddle) Cheney b. 25 May 1686 who was s/o Richard and Charity Cheney

Shortly after 20 June 1652, Richard Cheney and his wife Charity arrived in Maryland, where they settled on the south bank of the South River in Anne Arundel County. We know the arrival was after this date because if they had arrived earlier, they would have been eligible for 100 acres of land each rather than the 50 they received. [6] We know it was shortly after this date because soon there were children, who, if they had already been born when Richard and Charity arrived, would have entitled the couple to an extra 50 acres each. In 1725, their daughter Elizabeth testified that she was then 74 years of age, [7] which would calculate to a birth date of 1651, suggesting she was born as soon after 20 June 1652 as possible. When they arrived, Maryland was about to descend into civil war, and the actual patent to their land would not be granted until January 23, 1659/60 when the civil war had ended. [8] Richard Cheney (the elder) was born in 1649/1652 in South River Hundred, Anne Arundel, Maryland . He died on Dec 6 1704 in All Hallows Parish, Anne Arundel, Maryland, was buried at All Hallows Episcopal Parish Maryland as "Richard Cheney the son of Richard Cheney before deceased" written on tombstone.

Richard Cheney was born 1649 in All Hallows Parish, Anne Arundel County
