Frances Cheney married William Cheney (eb1538-a will proves that William died in 1608)> William
was a descendant of the Cheney's of Sutherland located at Fenn Ditton. this branch of the
family descended from henry Cheney(eb 1320) who is believed to have been a son of Sir William
de Cheney(eb 1270). This marriage rejoined the two branches of the family for the second time-the
first being the 1268 marriage of Sir Alexander Cheney (eb1255) and Agnes de Saye (eb1250) in
1268. William's branch of the family will be described later. Both branches of the family had lost extensive wealth and property shortly before the marriage of Frances and William Cheney. After this the family lived in less exalted social circles. Frances and William founded a branch of the Cheney family which has lived for centuries in Lincolnshire where their descendants have prospered as merchants, apothecaries and saddlers. William and Frances had a son named John. |
