Daniel Cheney, b abt 1633, Waltham Abbey, son of John Chaney and Martha Smith, son of William Cheney and Anne Summer went to Newbury, Essex, Massachusetts, but I don't know how he fits into this family.
General Notes for Child Agnes CHENEY
She is not identified in the 1992 NEHGR article on the Heath's, but according to http://kinnexions.com/smlawson/heath.htm#RCheney, Alice was named in the wills of her father and her Uncle William HARRISON. Daughter of Robert CHENEY and Joan HARRISON.
From http://www.mindfreedom.net/gen/t-s-p/p78.htm:
Agnes was named in her father's will and in 1594 was named in the will of her uncle. William Harrison.
HEATH JOHNSON MORRIS UPDATE: THE ANCESTRY OF AGNES (CHENEY) HEATH Douglas Richardson In 1992, the present author published evidence that the immigrants Elder Isaac Heath and William Heath of Roxbury, Massachusetts, were sons of an earlier William Heath, Sr. (ca. 1555-1625) of Ware, Hertfordshire. Following publication of tha t ar ticle, the marriage of William Heth [sic] of Ware was found, in the parish of Waltham Abbey, Essex, on 9 June 1580, to Agnes Cheney. Subsequent research produced probate records identifying Agnes as the daughter of Robert and Joan (Harrison) Cheney, and making it possible to develop her ancestry in both paternal and mhternal lines.
A number of Cheney's from Waltham Abbey were early settlers in Massachusetts - seemingly atleast three of them. I didn't learn more details. I found several versions of Dick Cheney's ancestry - one to Massachusetts, but with no origin in England, and one to Maryland in the 17th century. And another who said to ask him privately. Is this the Vice President's ideaof how to be assigned quasi-divine status?
