Details
Cheney Lively (c. 1790s–1858) (also spelled Chaney, Chany, China, or Chinny) was the first Black property owner and permanent resident in Indianapolis, Indiana. Originally born into enslavement in Kentucky circa 1795, Lively was later bought (or possibly hired) by surveyor Alexander Ralston prior to 1814. Ralston brought Lively with him to Indianapolis in 1822 to serve as his housekeeper while he designed the city's original layout. Lively was a member of the First Presbyterian Church as well as the Indianapolis Tract Society where she would spread Christian literature to Native Americans and freed slaves in the area.
