Early lifeCheever was born on May 23, 1760, in Saugus.[1][2] He was a descendant of Ezekiel Cheever, longtime headmaster of the Boston Latin School. Cheever spent much of his youth working on his family's farm.[3] American RevolutionOn the evening before the Battle of Lexington and Concord, Cheever ran bullets from a mold over a fire for the muskets of his brothers, who would take part in the battle the following day.[3] In 1779 Cheever graduated from Harvard College. He then studied medicine and surgery under John Warren and obtained his M. D. in 1782.[3] On May 13, 1782 Cheever was commissioned as a surgeon aboard the Tartar, a ship fitted by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for service in the American Revolution. On the ship's second voyage, it was captured by the HMS Belisarius and Cheever was sent to a prison ship in New York Harbor. Once the war ended, Cheever was exchanged and returned to Massachusetts.[3] BostonAfter the war, Cheever settled in Boston's North End, where he worked as a physician and surgeon.[3] On July 5, 1789, he married Elizabeth Scott. The couple would have three children before her death on July 5, 1795.[4] On October 16, 1798, he married Sally Williams, with whom he had two children.[1] Return to SaugusCheever returned to Saugus in 1806 and would remain here for the rest of his life. Cheever was one of Saugus' largest land owners with over two-hundred acres. He was also one of Saugus' few slave holders. On his family's land he built an elegant home that became well known throughout the region.[1][5] In 1815, Cheever was elected to Saugus' first Board of Selectmen, Assessors, and Overseers of the Poor.[6] In 1821, 1829, 1830, and 1831, Cheever represented Saugus in the Massachusetts House of Representatives.[7] During his political career, Cheever frequently competed with his brother Joseph Cheever.[5] Cheever died on April 21, 1843.[1][8] Notes1.{{note|a}} Until 1857, a majority of votes at a town meeting was needed to elect a representative to the Massachusetts House of Representatives. If no person received a majority of votes, no representative was sent. No representative was selected in 1822, but Jonathan Makepeace was chosen the following year.[7] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite book|title=Lynn in the Revolution, Volume 2|year=1909|publisher=W.B.
