CHENEY.
BY MAJ. WILLIAM CHENEY MANNING, A GRANDSON.
WILLIAM CHENEY was b. at Alstead, N. H., Aug. 9, 1776. He removed from there to Newport, Jan. 1, ISO7, with his wife Tryphena, dau. of Phineas Hatch, of Alstead, and three chil- dren. He was bred a carpenter, but soon turned his attention to trade. He was a clerk in the store of Messrs. Shepherd & Hutchinson, who furnished him the necessary capital with which to commence business for himself. His first store was in one end of the Enoch Noyes house, at the foot of Claremont hill, in what was then the village of Newport. In ISIo he built the old Richards block, into which he removed his busi- ness, and which he continued to occupy till his death. In
336
HISTORY OF NEWPORT.
1814 and '15 he built a large public house known as Nettleton's hotel, which stood on the site now occupied by the Newport House. Three years later he erected a large building, four stories high and one hundred and fifty feet long, called the "Tontine," designed for stores and mechanic shops. At about this time he sold the town the tract of land since used as a common. He had, the year previous to its purchase by the town, offered it gratis, subject only to certain conditions refer- ring to the planting and protection of shade-trees. Some op- position having been expressed in town-meeting to its accept- ance under any conditions the non-fulfilment of which would result in its forfeiture, the matter was dropped until next town- meeting, when it was voted to purchase the tract, subject to the same conditions insisted upon by Col. Cheney the previous year.
During the year 1815 he constructed the dam and canal which feed the upper tannery and the Newport and Eagle mills. On the canal he built a cotton factory and linseed oil-mill ; and about the same time he built a grist-mill and saw-mill at the grist-mill dam below. About the year 1819 he purchased all the water-power at Sunapee Harbor, and built there a grist- mill, saw-mill, and carding-mill.
Col. Cheney had few educational advantages. He was char- acterized by indomitable energy and perseverance in all that he undertook, whether in private enterprise or for the public good, and was successful in most of his undertakings. He had a gen- erous, sympathizing heart, which made him popular, and a cool, balanced judgment, which enabled him always to do the right thing in the right way. As illustrating the warm sympathies of his nature, it is related of him that he once took a poor, friendless old lady, who was on her way to the poor-house, into his own family, where she enjoyed all the hospitalities of his home for a long time.
Col. Cheney was often a moderator and selectman, and, dur ing the years 1816, 1817, 1819, 1824, 1825, and 1827, a repre- sentative to the state legislature ; and it was mainly by the per sistency of his efforts, as such, that a division of Cheshire coun ty was effected, and Newport became the county seat of the new county of Sullivan. He found opposed to him in the leg-

islature, on this subject, some of the best legal talent of the state, prominent among which was the late Gov. Henry Hub- bard. Having the right of the case, he met them with a good- natured, sometimes humorous, persistency, which finally tri- umphed. He was a friend of education, and assisted several young men who were fitting for college, and contributed gen- erously towards the support of Newport academy. He was a deacon of the Baptist church, to which society he presented the ground upon which their church and parsonage now stand, and contributed largely towards the construction of the church edifice. The bell was purchased and placed in the tower, pri- vately, at his own expense, its presence there being first an- nounced to the society by its ringing. He was an ardent lover of music, and in his earlier years played the violin, thus con- tributing to the gayety of the quilting and husking parties of his neighborhood. He was mainly instrumental in the forma- tion of a band, in 1815, of which he continued for a long time a supporter. The Masonic lodge, of which he was an active member, met for a long time at a hall in his residence. Pass- ing through all the previous grades, he became a colonel in the state militia. When, in 1824, Lafayette passed through the town, he was received by a large escort and conducted to the residence of Mr. Cheney, where he met the warm and en- thusiastic congratulations of the people.
No citizen has been more generally identified with the earlier history of the town than Col. Cheney. To him it is especially indebted for its early manufactures. He died, of consumption, on the 15th day of June, 1830, leaving a widow and eleven chil- dren, three having died in infancy. He left the largest estate ever administered in town up to the time of his death. Mrs. Cheney survived him many years. The Rev. Baron Stow, of Boston, in an obituary notice, says,-" Naturally amiable, she was regarded by all a model as a Christian, a wife, and mother. Though of the wealthiest family in town, she seemed not to know it, and like a true lady mingled with the poor and the more fortunate as if upon the same level. and thus won the hearts and commanded the respect of all."
