As read in the Woodbury-Rand research (Woodbury, Rand–Cheever–Ivory and Slater lines behind the Ellingwoods, October 2026). Torrey found the family in Canterbury: Richard Cheever, glover, married in 1612 Katharine, daughter of John Willyams, capper ("Chever, Richard = Katharine, d. of John Willyams, capper. 1612," Roll of Freemen of Canterbury); children baptized at St Alphage: Peter 8 June 1613, James 19 Feb 1614/15, Bartholomew 12 Jan 1616/17. Daniel of Cambridge and Abraham of Boston were Bartholomew's brothers by the wills. "Richard Cheever, nephew of Bartholomew Cheever, born in Canterbury, 1660 ... has not been fully identified. He had sons Bartholomew, Daniel, and James. Of these, the first two were named, presumably, for his uncles, and James may have been named for his father." Ezekiel Cheever, the schoolmaster, was "probably his first cousin" (Bartholomew's).
