The family were descended from John Cheney, who was recorded in Roxbury, Massachusetts, in 1635, moving the following year to Newbury, Massachusetts. John Cheney's brother, William, recorded in Roxbury by 1640, was an ancestor of former Vice President Dick Cheney.〔Charles Henry Pope, ''The Cheney Genealogy'', Vol. 1, pp. 17-33.〕〔''The National Cyclopaedia of American Biography'', Vol. X, pp. 213-214. New York: James T. White & Company, 1909. Reprint of 1900 edition.〕 He was also evidently kin to the Benjamin Cheney or Cheany of Hartford, Connecticut, from whom John Fitch, the inventor of the steamboat, learned the trade of clocksmith in 1760.〔Roscoe Conkling Fitch, ''History of the Fitch Family'', Vol. II, p. 221. Detroit: Privately published, 1930.〕 Cheney's father was a blacksmith, and he began working in his father's shop at age 10. At age 12 he began working at a tavern and later a general store in Francestown, New Hampshire. In 1831 he started work as a stagecoach driver between Nashua and Exeter, soon moving to the route between Nashua and Keene. The stage did a brisk business due to the dearth of rail lines at the time. Cheney built relationships with some of his passengers at this time, including Daniel Webster, whose friendship lasted the rest of his life. With a reputation for honesty and reliability, he was frequently entrusted with large sums of money destined for banks on his route. In 1836 he became a stage agent in Boston.〔''The National Cyclopaedia of American Biography'', Vol. X, p. 214.〕〔''Dictionary of American Biography'', Vol. IV, p. 50.
