3. Scott Andrew Bartley, ed. 1997. Vermont Families in 1791. Vol. 1. Genealogical Society of Vermont, Saint Albans, VT, pp. 87-88. Gives a second daughter, Lois, as having been born ca. 1823. Hardly likely as Edward Cheney died in 1812 and the first Lois survived (see next source), so one wouldn't expect a second daughter named Lois. Or was "1823" simply a typo for "1813"?
