"The Cheney Genealogy", whose author is Charles Henry Pope, was
published in 1897 (or thereabouts). Reprints are probably available
from various genealogy book dealers. Check the ads in the Genealogy
Helper, especially Higginson books (they usually list a couple pages
of books). I can't remember the name of the company I got mine from.
Mine turned out to be a bound photocopy of the original book - not
quite what I expected but at $45 or so, it was a good bit cheaper
than the other offerings I had seen.
 
Kurt Laidlaw tells me that not many libraries have this book. I believe he 
said that the Library of Congress doesn't even have a copy.
 
My maternal grandmother was Helen Gertrude (CHENEY) CRAWFORD. Her parents 
were cousins, Daniel W. CHENEY and Elizabeth Jane "Nin" CHENEY.

Jim,
  I have a little information on the CHENEY line but not much.

   Sarah CHENEY b. Newbury, Ma. Feb. 1637, d. Ipswich, Ma. 18 Oct 1665 m. 
Newbury, Ma. 23 Dec. 1652 Joseph PLUMMER.  She was the dau. of John CHENEY 
and Margaret (__).  Some sources say that the wife of John CHENEY was 
Martha.
I have that John  CHENEY d. Roxbury, Ma. Dec. 1671.

   That is the extent of my information on the CHENEY name.  Do you have 
anything additional?

   Susan, So. Hadley, Ma.

Excuse me for "butting in" Susan, but I just saw a message to you from Bob 
Paver about the surname CHENEY. I've been researching my surname and found 
it to go back to France and Ireland. Could you tell me if your CHENEY are 
any way connected to CHESNEY in Ireland and prior to there to CHENAY, 
CHESNAY in France. The surnames go back to the late 1500's. I know there 
are a lot of CHESNEY surnames in Ireland and I've read in a book giving the 
origin of Irish surnames that the CHESNEY originaly came from the northern 
coast of France in the 14th century. My ancesters the CHESNAYs came to 
Canada in the mid 1650s. 
        I'm just wondering if there is a genealogical link somewhere in 
these variables of these surnames. Would love to hear what you say about 
this. Thanks, Ron.
