He was also one of the brave defenders of the town against Indian attacks. Aug. 3, 1704, Col. N. Saltonstall wrote to Col. Thos. Noyes:"Sir, by his excellency's express direction I command you in her majesty's name forthwith to appoint and set forth one half of your company by name and have them ready,well fixt with arms and amunition and ten days' provision to march at an hour's warning. The command is strict. "Sept. 28th he thus wrote: "Idesire and order that by tomorrow morning at farthest you press and post at your block-houses in Newbury twelve able souldiers, three at each of your four blockhouses, to abide there day and night to watch. "In consequence of these orders DANIEL CHENEY rendered "service in the blockhouse" at that time, for which it is on record that he received the sum of "9 shillings and 10 pence." He also enrolled as a member of "The Second Foot Company of Newbury", Jan. 15, 1710-11, under command of Hugh March. He and his wife were "admitted to full communion" in the West Newbury church Oct. 29, 1727. He died in the autumn of 1755. His estate was quite large, and he thoughtfully provided for his children and some of his grandchildren, and for his honored wife.
