Anna PARTRIDGE appears to have been Elijah's first spouse, not his last.  The second John CHENEY does not show up with our subject in the 1850 census, so he appears to be an erroneous duplicate, possibly the result of typos.

Getting enumerated twice is rare, but it does happen.  He is shown here living alone, but was he maintaining two domiciles and concealing a polygamous relationship?

December 29, 1833, over a year from the time they left Connecticut, two "Mormon" Elders, Zera Pulsipher and Elijah Cheney, came to that section of country preaching that an angel had visited the earth, restored the everlasting gospel, and that Joseph Smith was a Prophet of the Lord.  Wilford and Azmon Woodruff, who went to hear them preach, immediately received a testimony of the genuineness of their message, and offered themselves for baptism.
