In her husband's will she is described as being "deare and afflicted". Six years after this was written a note, described as "curious" in North's history appeared in the Roxbury, Conn. Church book:
"1673, 24, 3 m. [I.e. March 24, 1673] Margaret Cheaney [sic] widow having been long bound by Satan under a melancholick distemper . . . Wh[ic]h made her . . . live mopishly, this day gave thanks to God for loosing her chain, & confessing & bewailing her sinful yielding to temptation." Thus Margaret recovered from a long bout of "nervous prostration."
