Lena Weekly Star, January 28, 1887, Page 1, Col. 4



An old and respected lady of Kent Mrs. Harriet Cheney, wife of Ephraim Cheney, died at her home Thursday of last week, aged about 80 years. She was a lady well respected by the community in which she so long resided, and many will miss her. The deceased was born in Connecticut, and came to this county in 1846. The funeral occurred Saturday and was largely attended.

In the reprint of the "History of Cattauaugus County, New York, 1879" I found the following for you:

p. 391...Willard Law, who afterwards gained an unenviable reputation, built the first saw=mill in town, on lot 20, in 1820.[nothing written to say what this was about] Overseers of Highways



p. 392...."other residents in 1822 were Aaron Cheney on lot 12 and Benjamin Cheney on lot 19, in the third range"



p. 394....An alphabetical list of resident landowners, town of Freedom, for the year 1835, showing the number of acres owned and improved by each: Nathan, Alexander, Josiah Cheney listed; no Benjamin



Law, William. 82 acres owned, 20 improved.



also, on page 392: ....The pioneers of Freedom, as in many adjacent towns, were mainly from the State of New Hampshire and Vermont. They brought with them and practiced here in the wilds of Cattaruagus all their habits of thrift,economy,and industry, so eminently characteristic of the transplatned New Englander.
