Deathaft 1377
GeneralOf Fen Ditton and of Longstanton, Cambs.
Notes for John Cheyne
m. an heir of George Muschet (or Mochette), apparently thereby obtaining Fen Ditton.

The precise details of this John and his ancestry are unknown as there were at least two and possibly three Johns between Henry Cheyne who d. by 1302 and William who d. 1398 and the surviving documents do not make clear which referrred to which of these.  Hilary Stroube and Jane Lane conclude that the last John, the father of William m. an heiress Joan, dau. of John Muschet.  John’ father was William and he has a son William, Joan’s brother, and this may explain why the name William was given to Joan’s son.  One presume’s that Joan’s bro. Wm must have dsp.

Anyhow this all accounts for the fact that th Cheyne ancestry stops here.
