William Cheyne, 2nd Viscount Newhaven
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Cheyne, 2nd Viscount Newhaven (1657 – 1728) was a viscount in the Peerage of Ireland. From an ancient Buckinghamshire family he twice served as Lord Lieutenant of Buckinghamshire, the first time for six months in 1702 until opposed by the Whigs, the second time for two years from 1712 after which he lost the position on the succession of King George I. He was also a Tory Member of Parliament for Buckinghamshire almost continuously between 1696 and 1705.
After he died, without heir, in 1728 he was buried in Drayton Beauchamp in Buckinghamshire. He was the last of the Cheyne family after whom Chenies in Buckinghamshire is named.
