Drat!! I forgot to enclose Keith's E-mail address. Here it is. Keith Hume: [email protected]

Keith Hume suffered another birthday last Friday. I know he would love to receive your good wishes and condolences whichever you prefer to send. :>) Keith, don't worry, I won't tell how old you REALLY are. Lonnie

All, I have been,(on and off) a subscriber to this list for some years now. I must comment that I have never had such a response to my query re maps of Philadelphia about 1775. Yjw response has been so great that even with my newly installed Broadband I have spent all afternoon here in the UK gathering maps. Apart from 3 of you pointing me to what appears to be the ideal map,(zoomable and all that). in the process i have gathered 30 maps refering to the campaigns his unit was involved in in the Revolutionary War !! I would also like to acknowlege the fact that so many of you have pointed out that the correct term is Revolutionary and not Independence. This is just another illustration of one of your previous President's comment that "We, (US and UK), are 2 nations separated by a Common language"...or words to that effect. As far as possible I have always referred to that war as the War of Independence when talking or writing to you folks " over there ". This was in the mistaken belief that you would have been prefered to be called fighters for Independence than Revolutionaries. I suppose ir may have been because our own revolution was found, in part, to be a disaster and when Cromwell died the country happily reverted back to a Monarchy but I am not sure. One other point. Over the years there have been various discussins about people replying to specific questions and copying to the CHASE-L list. For some reason that escapes me there were/are? those opposed to this practice. The delete key gets rid of "unwanted" info. in a trice. I raise this point because the wealth of information I received today was the kind of thing I am sure many people on this list would have liked. Certainly, with permission of those who sent the information to me, I intend to add it to the archives section of the Chase web site, Thank you all, Keith Hume

Keith, I agree with you. I like to Browse through responses to questions. Have stumbled on leads this way, not to mention general information. Admitedly, on busy days it can be a pain, but then life is sometimes a pain. At least messages we can delete.... :-) ===== Sue Edwards CASE, CHASE, DOUGLAS(S), EVERTON, FRENCH, GILES, GRIMES, GREENLEE, HAYES, HARDY, HIGLEY, McABOY, McCORMICK, NOBLE(S), OAK(E)S, PAINE, SHEPHERD,SISSON, WELSH (WELCH), ZINN. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

I am trying to obtain a copy of a map of Philadelphia as it was at the time of the war of Independence. Searches of Philadelphia and Penn archives have got me nowhere and searching the Libray of Congress did not help. In fact when I broadened the search at the Lib. of Con by searching " War of Independence" I was presented with a screen full of references but NONE referred to the American War of Independence !!!! I would appreciate any help. While on the subject my ancestor was "....Bound as an apprentice as a Currier and Tanner" also in Phil. in 1773 Does anyone know if the records of such Indentures would still exist. This would be in a form similar to those Indentures signed by some immigrants to work for their "owner" for a certain period, Keith Hume

Keith asked about copies of maps of Philadelphia as it was during the time of the American War for Independence. I have found that if you search on eBay, you are sure to find most anything! Yes, and sure enough, there are at least three reproductions offered. Just go to eBay's site and type in numbers 720017332 or the numbers 720017299, and you may find something which would interest you. I came up with 85 matches when I typed in "Philadelphia Map" into eBay's search engine. I have no financial interest in eBay or these maps - other than my own money I have spent there! I did buy a very nice reproduced map from 1870 of Barrington, RI, showing my ancestors' names and dwelling places. Judy Chace Needham

I will keep everybody posted as I endeavor to substantiate this lineage. In the meantime, I will close with a story from the Italian side of my family. We had a DiMeo reunion one day, I mean really, really big, worse than a large Italian wedding. :-) All day, everybody was trying to figure out how they were related. It went on and on. Finally, I went to the band's microphone and I said "Attention DiMeos! We are all cousins, I repeat we are all cousins!" It got a big laugh. So, when I think of the Chases, I always think "we are all cousins". :-) Thank you all again. "Cousin" Margaret Russell Chase :-) ===== Margaret "There is special providence in the fall of a sparrow.

This is for Margaret Russell Chase, William was not a brother to Aquila. Aquila's brother was Thomas. I wish I could help you but I don't have any infor on William. There will be a lot of assistance for you. Virginia Chase

No names are familiar to me, but I wouldn't recognize them anyway. I can send the link if anyone wants it. 1828 Quaker Census shows many Durfees in Palmyra which I already knew..... Some of you were able to find info for me in the Chatham Quaker MM, which INCLUDED Mehitbale Thurston, Benj5's 2nd w. fr. whom I am descended, as dying New Britain......(Chatham or Col. Co. ) 6/10/1816. age 75 yrs., dt. of Jonathan & Lydia SOOOOOO, CAN'T SOMEONE get into these records again to see what it says abt. Elizabeth (Durfee) Chase who d. 1776,..... ( she was dt. of Job & Elizabeth (Chase) Durfee) & Benj. 5) who d. 20 Mar. 1826. He may be under the Williamson/Farmington Quaker MM records, as son Benj and wife Lydia are found in 1828 NY Quaker Census as being at that Farmington meeting in 1828. & Benj 6) of Benj. Chas Jr. as referred to in Chatham MMs, d. 1867, what date, and where???, might even be Roch as there was a meeting hs. in E. Henrietta , Monroe Co.,NY or else under Farmington, Ontario Co. NY or Sodus which was Ontario Co. then, but is now Wayne Co and 2nd w. Lydia Macy, d. 7 Oct 1866, dt. of Simeon Macy & Lucretia Barnard.but where???, this could be E. Hen. MONROE, NY too if not Farm or Sodus.... Benj6)'s 1st w. fr. whom I am descended, Phebe Barnard Macy Chase....Phebe Chase or Phebe Macy Chase, d.Feb. 23, 1818, so she MUST be listed in the CHATHAM MM. Phebe is dt. of Reuben Barnard & & Phebe Coleman of Deruyter, NY. ALL THIS INFO IS IN NY State!!!!! Bottom line is that they MUST be listed as dying in either the Chatham, or Williamson/Farmington or Henrietta (Roch.) Quaker meetings. And it tells where they dies as w/Mehitable Chase above. Don't know if I'm EVER going to find where they are buried....but that's another story...........! The Roch Quaker Cem in Hen. has no markers and no records.........lol. I see that some of the early Wayne records aren't ever going to be FOUND either,( I looked thru all the Wayne & Ontario Co. Cemeteries)........ as part of the old cemetery fell into Lake Ontario.,,,,,,,,,,,which I guess is fitting, since I grew up on L. Ontario in the summers as a girl and wishhhh I still lived on the LAKE..........We have a boat now..........but NOT THE SAME........! Was GREAT............!!!!!! Only live a mile away now......... This book , Ghosts in Residence, telling abt. Mary Chase granddaughter of Ben5), being the ghost of the Old Chase Farm in Chatham mentions there is a sunken lot fenced in stone, abt 18 x 25 ft, covered by myrtle,only a few hundred yds. w. of the house, and I imagine that this is where some of these are buried. Only marker to be discerned is that of Mary Chase. She apparently was a published poet. Died of TB at age 33. Mentions her mother, Mehitable Thurston came fr. seafaring family in Nantucket. Father was old sea captain. States abt turn of the century..think it means abt 1800, what is now called the Grogan place, was bought fr. Wm. Brown, by a Wm. Coffin, a Quaker from Nantucket. He'd been a sea captain & at end of his last yoyage he had traded a rich cargo of sealskins in NEw York that brought a tidy profit. Ready to leave the sea and settle down on a farm, he had joined his Quaker friends in the Rayville settlement (then know as Greenbrook or Quakertown) & bought the place which his family farmed for generations. In 1880, the Grogan fam. took it over. The Old Chase Farm was an old colonial central hall farmhouse w/100 acres in the foothills of the Berkshires.On a clear day overlooking undulating farmlands and woods and on a clear day, had a beautiful view exending 60 or 70 mi. to the west over the Hudson Valley to the skyline of the majestic Catskill mtns. Place extremely hard to find.........go over 7 bridges, etc....on 7 Bridges Rd.w/curves etc. He learned that over 100 yrs ago it had been a Quaker boarding sch. There had been additonal bldgs, now completely gone with barely a few foundatin marks in evidence. The school had been conducted by Cornelius Thurston Chase. The entire vicinity has been a Friends Settlement & their meeting hs., built 1777, was located less than a mile w. of the boundary line. Still Standing & used as a farm grainery. Much more run down than Chase Farm house. His search revealed that a young teacher, Phineas Gurley, who was later to be come Abraham Lincoln's minister, and who sat at the bedside of the dying president and preached the funeral sermon, had once taught there. He found at the NY City library a book of poems by Mary Mehitable Chase, pub. by Ticknor & Fields, Longfellow's publishers, in 1854. Besides her poems, the book contained many long letter written by her to friends. They described in great detail the life in her Quaker household, written in her sensitive and poetic style. It told much about the people who came to visit there. It also described Christmas celebrations & told of nearby neighbors, their African woman servants )Friends had no slaves), her observations of nature, farm animals and pets, climatic conditons. How very much she had loved home. Her last wish had been to be buried on the nearby hillside slope under her favorite aple tree, the old arm tree, so called because of its extraordinary branch.! ....... this is where he finds the burial ground above. There are before and after pics of both the house and the meeting house. Both look really beautiful now..........or when this book was written .......1902. Mary was/is???? a "NICE" ghost.....! Foreward states: Now it is time to enjoy these accounts for yourself. They follow on a long line of tales on the supernaturals, most of which have come out of Columbia Co. for centuries. Washington Irving's Legend of Sleepy Hollow derives from people and events in and around the nearby village of Kinderhook------ it tells abt. this.....Ichabod Crane & the headless horseman, etc.------- (my Carpenters are fr. there). Louis Jones' Things That Go Bump in the Night contains other memorable Columbia Co stories, etc. Roderick H. Blackburn, PhD Albany Institute of History and Art Very Interesting...........and I see there is more on Mary, her dad and her life that I overlooked. HOPE SOMEONE CAN FIND SOME INFO FOR ME!!!! I"D REALLY APPRECCIATE IT................!!!!!! Barb ---------39b35d4618e7cbf839b35d4618e7cbf8--

Hello Chases! Before I post this research in it's entirety, I would like to ask the list (I'm a newbie, so I beg your patience)about the "Chase Record". Before he died, my father did some research along with his brother George that seems to show us going directly back to William, brother of Aquilla and listed as coming to USA in 1629/30 with Governor Winthrop of Roxbury. The information on William and on William Jr., he says in his notes, is "copied from the original Chase Record, written by I know not." So, before I assume that this lineage is is correct, can I get somebody's more expert opinion? I have a good deal of information here, but here is the shorthand lineage without naming towns or any other siblings. William, born in Chesham, brings William Jr. "a lad of 8 years" to America in 1629/30. William Jr. b. 1622 d. 1658 marries twice, and has 4 children by each wife, one of whom is Samual. Samual m. Sarah Sherman in 1699. They had 10 children, one of whom was Phillip. Phillip b. 8/20/1715 m. Hannah Buffum, 9-8-1735 They had 11 children, one of whom was Caleb. Caleb (b. 10-31-1738) married Mary Manchester on 1-29-1761 and had 6 children, one of whom was John. John b. 1-29-1761 marries Mary Davis on 11-29-1787. They had 11 children one of whom was Wesley. Wesley b. 5-1806, d. 12-1-1868 married Lydia Pitts on 8-17-27. They have George Ellis Chase George Ellis Chase b. 9-8-1847 marries Susan Briggs 6-10-1868. They have George Merwin Chase, my great, great grandfather. George Merwin Chase marries Margaret Greenlaw (I am named after her) 5-20-1865, they have Wesley Chase Wesley Chase b. 8-18-1892 (my grandfather) marries Lucy Ester Wood (my grandmother) on 1-27-1926 and have my father, John Russell Chase, and my uncle, George Chase. I'll stop there. Phew, if this is all true, then Wow. Warmly, Margaret Russell Chase (I have retained my maiden name) __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
