    John2 (Cheney) (John1) b. in England about 1631; m. April 30, 1660, Mary, dau. of Francis Plumer, of Newbury. His brief life was passed in his native town. He must have shown a good degree of courage and self-possession, as well as business capacity, for the town chose him as one of its constables in 1667, which gave him tax-collecting and the service of a treasurer of civil and ecclesiastical funds, in addition to the duties of a guardian of the public peace. He fell from the ranks of the town's conservative forces at the early age of forty, dying Jan. 7, 1672. His widow afterward married David Bennett, of Rowley, April 29, 1692.
