William CHENEY Lord of Thorngumbald

(1538 - 4 Aug 1604)

"The CHENEY or Cheyney family is a curious instance of decadence. William Cheney formerly of Thorngumbald in Holderness died at Boston in 1599 His widow Frances was his remote cousin, the natural daughter of the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports Sir Thomas Cheney KG. Their descendants at Boston were in trade during the last century and finally the family became extinct in the male line early in the present century (20th) being represented in the female line by the Garfits and Thirkills"
