They settled at Cheney's Resolution in Anne Arundel County. Richard became one of the largest land owners in the South River Hundred and owned 1,110 acres. His plantations were called Cheney's Hill, Cheney's Neck, Cheney's Hazard, Cheney's Rest, and Cheney's Purchase. He patented them in March 1661/62.

Cheney's Hill has been the site of an archaeological dig. The home was situated on a hill and the site yielded "shards of imported German pottery, beads for Indian trading, pipes, utensils, a finger-length iron key, glass, a brick and other common items."

His second wife was Eleanor.
