Name Margaret Cule Birth 1604 England Gender Female Death 2 Jul 1686 Boston, Suffolk Co., Massachusetts, USA Burial Eliot Burying Ground, Roxbury, Suffolk Co., Massachusetts, USA Notes - Margaret had a breakdown after William died. In the Church records of the time, Reverand S. Danforth noted that "Margaret Cheany widow having been long bound by Satan under a melancholick distemper, (above 10 or 11 yeares) which made her wholly neglect her Calling & live mopishly, this day (24 Mar 1673) gave thanks to God for loosing her chain & confessing & bewailing her sinful yielding to temptation" (The Cheney Genealogy by Charles Henry Pope, 1897 pg 29)
Despite William's careful provision for Margaret in his will, her widowhood was not without financial problems. She petioned the court regarding her son Thomas' treatment of her, to which it responded: "In answer to the petition of Margaret Cheeny, widdow: The Court Orders that Thomas Cheeny her Son pay unto his sd Mother Five pounds in mony every quarter of the yeare, yearely for the improvement of the Estate left by his Father & give her good assurance of her living peaceably with him, otherwise that hee leave the house; the Estate being judged to bee worth twenty five pound in mony per annum (Suffolk County Court, 749, dated 31 October 1676). Margaret married Mr Burge (or Burges or Burdge) and moved to Boston. She made a will on 9/23/1686, and died sometime later that year.
