DANIEL,' (John,1) b. in England about 1633; m. in Newbury, Oct. 8, 16*65, Sarah, daughter of John, Jr., and Eleanor (Emery) Bayley, b. Aug. 17, 1644, d. Oct. 26, 1714. He was a man of great industry and sagacity, and lived the life of a diligent farmer and useful citizen. He brought up a large family and left an honorable name. He and his wife were members of the church before 1675. The town chose him as one of its two constables in 1683. The Rate list mentions himself and his brother Peter and Peter's son Peter. Daniel had at that time, 2 houses, ten acres of plow land, 20 acres of meadow, 14 acres of pasture. Peter, senior, possessed one house, 1 horse, 2 acres of plow land, 6 acres of pasture, 2 cows and 1 "hogg" ; and his family consisted of 4 " heads". Peter, Jr., was simply enrolled, being a voter, but no property is mentioned. Daniel Cheney had the honor of, being made a "freeman of the colony" May 7, 1763. Robert Pike, who was chosen lieutenant of a company of militia in Newbury, fell under the displeasure of the General Court for some reason ; and several persons in various parts of the county petitioned for his pardon or restoration. But the Court, indignant at such temerity, at its session Oct. 19, 1754, ordered every man who had signed the petition to give bonds in the sum of £10, to appear for trial at the local court, to show why they had ventured to petition so boldly! Daniel Cheney, of Newbury, was one of three rash men, who asked for fait play for their officer. No crime ; and no punishment followed, of course.
He died Sept. 10, 1694. As four of his children were under age, Joshua Bayley was appointed guardian of John and Eleanor ; and Joseph Bayley of Joseph and James. Before she had become of age, however, Eleanor had married, become a widow and married a second time ! Dec. 22, 1694, Sarah Cheny " writes in a clear hand her refusal to administer upon the estate of her husband, and requests the appointment of her son, Daniel.
The inventory, which was taken by Tristram Coffin and four others, Sept. 20, 1694, appraised the dwelling house, barn, orchards, " plowland," pasture and meadow adjoining and the "freehold," at £300; the house, land and barn in ( possession of Nathaniel Bricket, at £30 ; other lands £48 ; a list of household effects follows, including books and napkins and brass kettles, etc., " English Corne," and "Indian Come," a loom, cooper's tools, utensils of husbandry, &c., showing a prosperous estate ; bringing the total to £567, n shillings. The report of the commissioners who had been appointed to divide the estate is so full of items of interest, that many will be glad to read it all.
