Patience was either born in Massachusetts or Rhode Island. All the census reports list MA, VT, and RI but her marriage record listed her birthplace as Rhode Island.

On Feb 20, 1809 in Guildhall, VT she married Henry Cheney, son of Eliphalet Cheney and Ruth Harding.

Their children were Phoebe Jane, Sarah, Abigail, Almyra, Rebecca, Henry, Charles, Alpheus Russell, and Nelson.

She was predeceased by her husband, Henry, in 1869; daughter Almyra Bell, wife of Samuel Bell, in April 1852; and son Henry in March 1857. (I can't find if Alpheus Russell died or he got divorced around 1860).


Note:
The birth years some of the children were off on their death records. Like Phoebe and Sarah were not born before 1809 when Patience and Henry were married, and Rebecca and Almira both come up with 1814 births but there is no record of twins.

Their son, Nelson, died on Dec 20, 1881 in Lunenburg and his probate stated they paid for a headstone, but it is not known yet which cemetery he was buried in. His wife Cordelia Gracia Lane Cheney died on July 5, 1918 in Lunenburg, but it is unknown which cemetery she is in also, but I believe they were buried here.
