Richard "The Elder" Cheney

Birth: May 1, 1649
South River
Anne Arundel County
Maryland, USA

Death:Dec. 6, 1704
South River
Anne Arundel County
Maryland, USA

RICHARD CHENEY was born on 1 May 1649 in South River, Anne Arundel County, Maryland, United States. He was the son of Richard Cheney (1616-1684) and Mary Charity Wood Cheney (1628-1668).

There is some confusion about whether Richard was born in the USA or in England. There is one document from ancestry.com where you can order his birth certificate from Anne Arundel County, MD, and there is another document which shows his name and both of his parents: Passenger and Immigration Lists Index, 1500s-1900s about Richard Cheney Name: Richard Cheney Year: 1658 Place: Maryland Source Publication Code: 2524.55 Primary Immigrant: Cheney, Richard
Annotation: Date and port of arrival. Extracted from Maryland Land Office records of patents and warrants. Reference to original record or transcript and microfilm number are also provided. Other historical and genealogical information may also be provided. The first Source Bibliography: GIBB, CARSON. A Supplement to The Early Settlers of Maryland.

One has to wonder if this is a record of a family from England, now living in the USA who have taken a trip to visit family in England or for business in England, then coming back in to the USA at the state of Maryland, or were they moving from England to the USA, then where does this birth certificate (or document of birth in Maryland) 9 years before come in?

RICHARD married MARY RYDELL (1660-1717) in 1680 at Anne Arundel, Maryland, United States. RICHARD was 31, and MARY was 20. MARY was the daughter of Richard Rydell (1635-) and Eleanor Pindell Rydell (1640-1709).
