Hi, I am interested in corresponding with anyone who is researching Chase families in Nova Scotia. Supposedly the first Chase of my family was Thomas Chase, born abt. 1792, who for some reason went by the assumed surname of LINNELL. His descendants used the LINNELL surname until the 1870s. The descendants lived mainly in Lunenburg and Kings counties. I'd like to know who Thomas Chase's parents were and where he came from (It was probably from Massachusetts). Does any recognize any of the names in the following generation report? Descendants of Thomas (Sr.) CHASE Generation No. 1 1.

The following was transcribed by Beth Hurd to the Rhode Island mailing list. I thought it would be of interest here. Rochelle Jacobs _____________________________________________________ from History of the state of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations Biographical NY: The American Historical Society, Inc. 1920 pp. 381 - 382: "ARNOLD BUFFUM CHACE -- Three generations of the Chace family have been the owning and managing heads of the Valley Falls Company, a cotton manufacturing corporation of Valley Falls, R. I. The brothers, Harvey and Samuel B. Chace, founded the business under the firm name H. and S. B. Chace in 1839, but on the death of their father, Oliver Chace, in 1852, they incorporated with another brother, Oliver Chace, and organized the Valley Falls Company, to hold the property left them by their father. They located the plant on the Cumberland side of the Blackstone, and also purchased property on the Smithfield side. H. and S. B. Chace bought the Albion Mills, and by a division of the properties of the brothers in 1868, Samuel B. Chace became the owner of the Valley Falls property. He was succeeded by his son, Arnold Buffum Chace, the present treasurer of the Valley Falls Company. And Edward Gould Chace is associated with his father as assistant treasurer of the company. The earlier business experiences of Harvey Chace and his brother, Samuel B. Chace, included a failure with ability to pay but 80 per cent. of their liabilities, but with the founding of the Valley Falls Company came the restorations of their fortunes, and when they had fully regained their financial equilibrium, the old debtors were hunted up and the unpaid 20 per cent. was paid in full with interest. There are other monuments standing to perpetuate the memory of the Chace brothers, but nothing finer than the foregoing. It was under the superintendence of Samuel B. Chace that the curved stone dam across the Blackstone river at Valley Falls was built in 1854, a substantial work which will long stand as evidence of his thoroughness as a builder. Another tribute to the memory is of a different type and offered by one of the great men of the Abolition movement of the ante-Civil War period, William Lloyd Garrison, who said in part at the funeral of Samuel B. Chace, who died December 17, 1870: 'Yet not ten but thirty-five years since one departed friend in the darkest and stormiest period of the Anti-slavery conflict gave his adhesion to the cause. From that day his door and heart were open to the proscribed advocates of the oppressed, and in the face of the iniquitous Fugitive Slave Law, his home was converted into a station house on a branch of the underground railroad running from New Bedford to Canada, and no efforts were wanting on his part to make it a safe retreat; what a blending of moral courage with rare gentleness of disposition.' Arnold Buffum Chace, of the eighth American generation of the family founded by William Chace, who came from England with Governor Winthrop and his fleet in 1630, is a son of Samuel B. and Elizabeth (Buffum) Chace, and a grandson of Oliver and Susanna (Buffinton) Chace; Oliver Chace was a son of Jonathan Chace, son of William Chace, son of William Chace, the founder. Arnold Buffum Chace was born at Valley Falls, town of Cumberland, R. I., November 10, 1845, and is yet (1919) an honored business man and citizen of Providence, R. I. He began his education under private tutorage, then entered a Hopedale, Mass., boarding school, and under private teachers completed preparation for college. He entered Brown University in 1862, pursued a full classical course, and in 1866 was graduated A. B., and the year following graduation he spent in study in the chemical classes of Lawrence Scientific School in Cambridge, Mass. The next year following, he was a student in the chemical laboratory of the Ecole de Medicine in Paris, France. His next period of study was under Professor Shaler, of the Aggariz Museum of Cambridge, Mass. These years of study indicate the passion of his life, and years have not abated his thirst for study and research, although added business responsibilities have been carried constantly since the year 1869, when he was elected treasurer of the Valley Falls Company, founded and developed by his honored father and uncle. He has now held that position for over half a century. He has been a director of the Westminster Bank of Providence since 1871; its president since 1894; is president of the Providence Land and Wharf Company, vice-president and trustee of the old Colony Co-operation Bank of Providence; was for years a director of the National Bank of North America, and is a director of the Manufacturers' Mutual Fire Insurance Company of Providence. The study of mathematics has been a favored one with Mr. Chace all his life, and one of his published works is a treatise upon 'A Certain Class of Cubic Surfaces Treated by Quarternions', which first appeared in the 'Journal of Mathematics'. He was elected a member of the board of trustees of Brown University in 1876, was chosen treasurer in 1882, serving until 1901, and on October 9, 1907, was elected chancellor of the University, succeeding William Goddard. He yet serves his alma mater in offical capacity, and is a devoted friend of the University, from whence in 1892 he received his degree of Doctor of Science. He is a member of the Review Club, formerly the Browning Club, and is an ex-president, and has contributed many articles on mathematical problems and subjects which were read before the club. While in college he stood second in rank in his class, and all through his life he has retained that position among men of intellectual, scholarly tastes, his nature serious and thoughtful. His characteristics have stood the acid test of the years and high position, and no man in his city is more genuinely respected and honored. Mr. Chace married, October 24, 1871, Eliza Chace Greene, daughter of Christopher A. and Sarah A. Greene, they the parents of three sons: Arnold Buffum, Jr., Malcolm Greene, Edward Gould, and a daughter, Margaret Lily. This review deals with the cause of the youngest son, Edward Gould Chace, of the nine American generation of this ancient and honorable family of New England, long seated in Rhode Island. Edward Gould Chace was born in Providence, October 16, 1882. After completing the courses of University Grammar School in Providence, he attended Morristown School, Morristown, N. Y., whence he was graduated in 1900. He entered Yale University in 1901, continuing until 1903, and was a student at Williams College during the years 1904 and 1905. He then selected a business course, entered the employ of the Valley Falls Company, of which his father is treasurer, as his assistant, so continuing until 1910, when he formed a connection with the Fort Dummer Mills of Brattleboro, Vt., was elected treasurer of that corporation in 1911, a position he yet fills. In 1913 he again became assistant treasurer of the Valley Falls Company, and still retains that connection. In 1918 Edward G. Chace was elected a director of the Westminster Bank of Providence, being there again a contemporary with his father. A Republican in politics, Mr. Chace served as tax assessor of the town of Lincoln, R. I., during the years 1903-08, but in 1912 he joined the progressive movement, and being then in Vermont served as chairman of the Windham County Progressive Committee. He is a member of the Hope, Agawam, Rhode Island County [sic], Yale and Alpha Dela Phi clubs, the Alpha Delta Phi Greek Letter Society, and in religious faith is a Unitarian. Mr. Chace married, at Newport, R. I., October 17, 1906, Christine MacLeod, daughter of Angus and Jessie (MacKenzie) MacLeod. They are the parents of five children: Christine, born April 14, 1909; Eliza Greene, born June 20, 1913; Jessie Macaulay MacKenzie, born Aug. 14, 1914; and Margaret Ward, born Dec. 20, 1917."

She was well known for her anti-slavery activities, and fought for women's suffrage in RI.

I am going to try this again. If I have my thoughts on this correct I am thinking this family of Chase's were from the Utah area. during this period of time. I am also thinking that due to not much is known on this marriage that because the mormon's were practising plural marriage also at that time that Lillie may have become one of his wifes instead of being number 1 wife. Any one out there who has Chase family records be able to help me.

Hi All, I have been so very busy lately at work and have had no time to post. I wanted to inform that I will be in London this weekend and will be dropping by the Society of Genealogists (it was closed last time I was there) for a few hours on Saturday before heading on to the first game of the Premiership season between Bolton Wanderers and Fulham Cottagers. I was wondering if there is anything in particular anyone would like me to look up while I am there? Ginger, you have mentioned before that the Society has slips of paper with information about William Chase. Can you tell me more? I'll give an update when I get back next week.

Greetings DEREK, KEITH & LONNIE, I delighted to hear from all three of you. Now this is all I know about my "twig" of the Chase tree (other than gossip/hearsay): Grandmother born: 13 July 1869 - High Street Alton - her name shown as Press Isabella - father James William Moulder at an Iron Foundery - Mother Julia Chase formerly Jones. Marriage 18th Dec 1893 to Walter Henry Batten name now shown as Press Isabella Kate Chase - age 24 living at 20 Albert Street Northam - father deceased. 1st son named Arthur Seymour Batten. 1st daughter (my mother) Louie Mafalda Batten born at Grovelly OLD PORTSWOOD, Portswood UD MARRIAGE of James William Chase age 27 Widower - Iron Founder - Residence Charlotte Street - Father William Chase Julia Jones 21 spinster, residence Charlotte Street - father Edward Jones PLACE of Marriage at Parish Church of S.James in the Town & County of Southampton DATE " 28th March 1869 (it appears my grandmother was at her parents wedding ! ! ! ) According to 1881census they had a daughter Louisa born inSouthampton, daughters Kate and Mildred and a son James W. all 3 shown as being born in London, Poplar, Middx. I recall a great uncle Charles Chase who might have been in the Navy most certainly some connection to ships and his wife Mildred, who was Irish, visiting us for holidays.(they didn't have any children) I also recall as a child a couple from the chase family dropping in to visit us in Devon, they had 2 young girls not yet in their teens. LONNIE, I recall hearing of a Chase girl being a nurse going to America, with any luck I'll be able to make a connection to the fascinating Chase Chronicles, many thanks for the sample - fantastic. I have a very old picture of JUDE Chase, could she be James 1st wife & did they have children ? or could she be the one who went to America? KEITH many thanks for map web, interesting that your wife comes from nearby - 2nd daughter of Press born in South Stoneham so I can now check that out. Any Info, connections, suggestions or directions gratefully appreciated, enjoy your day and have an even better tomorrow, Julie in very hot sunny and humid Toronto, Canada.

THE CHASE-CHACE FAMILY ASSOCIATION MID-WINTER MEETING The Mid-Year Luncheon Meeting of the Chase-Chace Family Association was held at the Hotel Bellevue, Boston, Massachu- setts, Saturday, February fourth. Meet- ing at noon for a social hour luncheon fol- lowed at one o’clock. After the blessing, asked by the Rev. Glenn Tilley Morse, thirty-three members and friends sat down to luncheon. Although smaller in numbers, possibly, than at some previous meetings, there was a decidedly fraternal attitude and a notice- able spirit of cordiality. Our president, Lt. Col. Harry G. Chase, presided in his usual pleasingly informal manner. After his remarks of welcome he read cards of regret and messages of greet- ing from members covering the United States. During luncheon we were entertained by Mr. Stewart of the Bellevue staff with songs including Negro spirituals. Col. Chase called on the members present for remarks. Mr. John C. Chase, president of the N. E. Historic Genealogical Society announced his Chase Genealogy already in press. Mr. William E. Chase of Newbury, a former president, made a few remarks followed by a poem. Mr. Maurice E. Chase of Arlington spoke of the loss of his two brothers—Rev. Jason Frank Chase and Lloyd H. Chase.—leaving him the last of his line. Frederick Chase, Attorney of Milton, Maurice L. Chase of New Bedford, and Frank W. Chase of the Boston Public Lib- rary expressed pleasure at being able to be present. The matter of deciding on a place of meeting for the annual meeting was dis- cussed. Mrs. Emma Chase Thwing of Brockton, representing the William line, in- vited us to Brockton, explaining tentative plans and offering an attractive program. Rev. Glenn Tilley Morse moved acceptance of Mrs. Thwing’s invitation, which motion 2 THE CHASE CHRONICLE; was unanimously carried—and the meeting set for Saturday, June 30th, in Brockton, Mass. (Detailed notice will be mailed to members in ample time for arrangements.) The speaker of the day was the Hon. Ed- ward Redstone, State Librarian of Massa- chusetts, who told of the bringing of cannon to General Washington from Fort Ticonder- oga by the youthful Maj. Gen. Henry Knox. (The speaker’s notes are appended.) Those present were: Col. Harry G. Chase and Mrs. Chase, their son, Ben:;., and Col. Chase’s sister, Mrs. John W. Macdonald of West Newbury; Rev.

From there he followed the present road from Hillsdale to North Egremont, except that just before entering Massachusetts, the old road turned sharply to the north, crossing the state line at a point a half-mile or more north of where the present road crosses, as the road of that day went to the north of an abrupt peak, instead of to the south of it as it does today. The course of the old road, however, again coincides with the modem road about half a mile farther east of the state line, and so continues through North Egremont and Egremont Plain to Great Barrington, bearing sharply north through Great Barrington, and then turning east on the road to Monterey. Monterey of today was the Tyringham of Revolutionary days, but the “Old Center” was a mile and a half north of the present town, in a district now practically deserted. The church shown on the older maps was built in 1743, but was replaced by another building on a nearby site in 1796, which was in turn taken down in 1873 and moved to Housatonic, so that nothing but the cellar hole remains at this time. The evidence shows that there were then two roads through Tyringham. The older was the direct east and west road, which was a development of the Indian trail. There is no question but that this is the course of the Indian trail. It was on the air line route between the east and the western ob- jective. It passed close to Brewer’s pond and the adjacent brooks, the larder of the natives. The whole character was such as the Indian would have selected. On this road was Brewer’s, and this road became the town street of Monterey. The northern road was merely a detour to the north to include the town of Tyringham and “Chadwick’s”. The southern road was shorter for the through traveler,—the grades were easier, water was more accessible. On the north- ern road was the town life, a tavern per- haps more suited to a fastidious traveler than would be Brewer’s, with its appeal to the rough campaigner. The travelers’ journ- als show that the choice of the two routes rested on the mere whim of the individual. It is self evident that Knox, with his heavy loads,—with his cattle in need of water,—with his impatience to complete his journey, would avoid the steep grades of the longer roads by Chadwick’s and choose the road by Brewer’s, where his particular needs could be best supplied. It is therefore conclusive, that on Janu- 4 THE CHASE CHRONICLE ary 10, Knox “reached Number One, after having climbed mountains from which we miglit almost have seen all the kingdoms of the earth”, and passed through what is now the street of Monterey, and so over the present road to that road junction which became West Otis. >From there his road when direct through the Greenwoods to the present East Otis, passing between the two Spectacle Ponds, and then through a mountain pass where today there is no road whatever. Here were conditions such as to appall the stoutest heart. Native sons insist that there never was a road there and that it would be utterly impossible for a road ever to have been in such a jumble of mountains, precipices, chasms and valleys, interspersed with rivers, lakes and swamps. After cross- ing the Farmington river, the way was equally bad. Some realization of the nature of this district is gained from the knowl- edge that the outlet of Thomas Pond falls 214 feet in its short course to the river. The outlet of the Rand Pond cascades with a sheer drop of 104 feet. Here was an Indian paradise, teeming with fish,—the na- tural habitat of wild game. Through it went the Indian trail, then the pioneer road, followed by the military road. The char- acter of the country well agrees with the description which the 18th century travelers gave of the country traversed by the Green- woods road, which is so unmistakably shown on the 1794 map, where it is so accurately laid down, on a scale of 200 rods to an inch, that it is a simple matter to transfer it to the blank space on today’s road map. Knox testified as to the character of the country he passed through on January 11, saying, “Went twelve miles thro’ the Green Woods to Blandford. It appear’d to me almost a miracle that people should be able to get up and down such hills as we have with anything of heavy loads.” “At Blandford we overtook the first divi- sion who had tarried here until we came up, and refus’d going any further, on acc’tt that there was no snow beyond five or six miles further, in which space there was the tremendous Glasgow or Westfield mountain to go down. But after about three hours persuasion, I hiring two teams of oxen, they agreed to go.” _________________ Remarks by Mr. William E. Chase Some of you may know that some years ago I was a professional public reader. I gave it up for business after a brief career. I thought I might find myself in the same dilemma which confronted Harry Cantor when after six months’ tour he opened his door to confront his little daughter, aged four. Instead of greeting him as “Papa” she ran to the stairs and shouted “Mama! That man’s here again!” Why are we here today instead of listen- ing to what the radio is sending out over the land where we could not see the per- formers ? A little Irishman was summoned to court as a witness to a shooting affair. He was asked “did you see the shot fired?” “No, your Honor, but I heard it.” “You may step down—the evidence is not suffi- cient.” As his back was turned to the Judge a loud laugh filled the court room. “Come back here. Why did you laugh?” “Your Honor, did you see me laugh?” “I heard you.” “Your Honor, the evidence is not sufficient.” The Judge joined the spec- tators in a smile and the man’s Irish wit saved him from jail and fine. In this fellowship and social intercourse we can both see and hear. We are here to add to our personal power by taking from the speaker of the day something which will enrich our minds without loss to him. Some years ago there hung in many homes a picture showing a cross firmly em- bedded in a great rock surrounded by a boisterous sea. A maiden is’clinging to this cross. The picture is called “The Rock of Ages.” It has recently been criticised, but the critic fails to mention an important feature without which it loses its signi- ficance. The maiden clings to the cross with one hand while with the other she reaches down to another who is at the mercy of the waves, in the effort to lift the other to her own position of comparative safety. Unless we try to lift others to our own present level—and we can do no more—our lives are valueless. Pity those whose God lives not in humanity. Mr. Chase then read the poem “The Master is Coming” written by Mrs. Emma A. Lent. _______________ THE CHASE CHRONICLE 5 JOHN CARROLL CHASE A CHASE GENEALOGY A genealogy of the descendants of the immigrants A Q U I L A and THOMAS CHASE, which has been in preparation by John Carroll Chase in the past two years, bringing the male line down to the seventh generation, is now in press and will be is- sued in a few weeks. Any desired information in regard to the book may be obtained from the author at 9 Ashburton Place, Boston. Editor’s note: Mr. Chase sent the above modest notice for publication in the Chronicle and I am adding the following: Mr. John Carroll Chase, as most of you know, was the first president of the Chase- Chace Family Association organized in July, 1899. He has always been an active and sus- taining member of the Association and is at present a member of the Executive Com- mittee. He is and has been for some years past the president of the New England Historic Genealogical Society, located at 9 Ashburton Place, Boston, Massachusetts. Mr. Chase is deeply interested in geneal- ogy—especially his own line—and has been an indefatigable worker in compiling this most complete and accurate work. As Mr. Chase is bringing out this Chase Genealogy at his own expense, and as we have despaired of ever having a printed Chase Genealogy because of lack of Asso- ciation funds, we are indeed fortunate in having the opportunity to own a Chase Genealogy of the Aquila and Thomas line so carefully worked out. Mr. Chase, has of necessity, in most cases, confined himself to the male line bringing it down to the seventh generation. The data thus provided allowing of easy extension and amplification by those wishing to go further along their particular family lines. We bespeak a hearty response to this notice in early and large orders. THE AQUILA CHASE GENEALOGY A genealogy of the descendants of Aquila Chase has been talked about for many years, but, as Mark Twain said about the weather, “nobody did anything about it”. Nearly two years ago the writer began in earnest the work of compilation and since then the full time of one person and part time of another has been devoted to the work. The greater portion of the book is now in type and will be off the press in a few weeks. Manuscript collections in the library of the New England Historic Genealogical So- ciety and the personal acquisitions of the writer have been the basis of the work, sup- plemented by vital records and an exten- sive correspondence, and the result will be a volume of over 600 pages, which will give a very complete account of the family down to the children of the seventh generation. This seemed a logical stopping point as the adding of another generation would mean a large increase in the size of the book and carry the expense beyond the amount the compiler was ready to lose in the venture. It was decided to make it a Chase book, the female lines not being carried forward as families, births, marriages and deaths alone being given, when known. To interest later generations the offer was made to extend the family line of sub- scribers to include their families. This turned out to be a very trying proposition on account of the desire to include the uncles and aunts, the sisters and brothers, 6 THE CHASE CHRONICLE and the children and grandchildren, in fact add a whole family, history, which was never contemplated and entirely out of the question. In more than one case manuscript was submitted that would fill several pages with the ultimatum “if you will print that I will take a copy of the book.” Needless to say that the offer was declined. It is hoped that in due time a second volume may ap- pear, bringing the family history down to date but the writer has had sufficient en- joyment of the kind and is paying well for it. It is his own enterprise and any praise or criticism is his. The writer also wishes to voice a protest against the printing of so much genealogic- al misinformation relating to the early Chases. He has not yet been able to establish any connection of the Chase immigrants to America with the family in England. If anyone has any actual proof of the con- nection he would be pleased to have it, but to be of value it must be sustained by records, not a mere repetition of what some misinformed person put into print years ago, and which has been discredited time and time again. JOHN CARROLL CHASE. __________________ JOHN C. CHASE HEADS GENEALOGY SOCIETY The annual meeting of the New England Historic-Genealogical Society was held Feb- ruary first in Wilder Hall, 9 Ashburton Place and elected officers and councilors for the coming year.

Mr. Albert Henry Lamson And Mrs. Helen Little Page announce their marriage on Thursday, November twenty-fourth Nineteen hundred and twenty-seven Boston, Massachusetts At home after December first Eleven Dalton Street Boston, Massachusetts Mr. Lamson, who is our genial chairman of the Executive Committee, also announces that they are to give up their Boston resi- dence in June and live permanently in Elkins, N. H. _______________ TREASURES IN THE PUBLIC LIBRARY Frank W. Chase Gave Illustrated Lecture at St. Paul’s Frank W. Chase, reference librarian and former custodian of special libraries at the Boston Public Library, spoke January 30th on “Devoted Collectors of Devout Books and Their Treasures in the Boston Public Library,” before an audience in the crypt of St. Paul’s Cathedral. His lecture was illus- trated with stereopticon slides of pages from early books and manuscripts and from the woodcuts and title pages of special editions. One of the greatest treasures of the lib- rary, said Mr. Chase, came from the New England library of the Rev. Thomas Prince, minister of the Old South Meeting House from 1728 to 1785, whose collection includes a copy of the first book printed in America, “The Whole Book of Psalms,” under date of 1640. >From the library of 16,000 volumes of the Rev. Theodore Parker, grandson of Capt. Parker of Lexington, Mr. Chase exhibited pictures of old Bibles printed in obscure languages. He pointed out that Capt. Parker was an omnivorous reader, with a special aptitude for such volumes. The third collection of the lecture which Mr. Chase discussed was that of Josiah H. Benton, former president of the board of THE CHASE CHRONICLE 7 trustees of the library, which included a number of early books of common prayer. PROF. CHASE ON ANCIENT PAINTING NEWPORT, E. I., Jan. 14—One of the largest mid-winter gatherings of the season assembled this afternoon at the Art Asso- ciation to hear an interesting discourse on “Ancient Painting,” by Prof. George H. Chase of Harvard University. The lecturer, in a very graphic manner, summarized the history of ancient painting, describing wall paintings from the bronze age through the Roman era. ______________ STUART CHASE Stuart Chase, whose recent book, “Your Money’s Worth,” has become a best seller, contributed to the March number of The World Tomorrow an article on the advances and gains made in the last ten years in business and industry. He has taken for his title “New Outposts of Business and In- dustry.” This article of Mr. Chase’s is the . seventh in the series “Recent Gains in American Civilization” which is running in The World Tomorrow. Mr. Chase is well fitted to write on this subject; he is director of the Labor Bureau, Inc., and formerly was an investigator for the Federal Trade Commission. _____________ THE PERMANENT FUND Our permanent fund is only $300. (plus a little bank interest). How fine it would be to have a really substantial permanent fund! How easily this could be brought about if the members would remember the Associa- tion with gifts—no matter how small—and by legacies. THINK IT OVER! _________________ TO FRAME AND HANG ON THE WALL? Suddenly we recall that we always did have a warm admiration for Salmon P. Chase, and that nothing would please us more than to have one of the portraits of him the Government is printing on the new $10,000 bills! (Springfield Union and Boston Globe.) ____________________ THE CHASES OF GREENE COUNTY, NEW YORK Written by Jay E. Tompkins, 142 North Street, Catskill, N. Y. For the last 140 years the name of Chase has been associated with what is now the town ‘of Jewett, Greene County, New York State, and for many years with the county in a larger sense. True to the motto on the family coat of arms, “Ne cede malis,” “Yield not to difficulties,” many of the name and lineage have conquered difficulties and pressed forward to positions of trust and prominence. Zephaniah Chase (1748-1828) in the year 1787 sold his property at Martha’s Vineyard and with his family moved to what is now Jewett Center. He was born at Edgartown, Martha’s Vineyard, and was of the fourth generation from Thomas Chase, who came from Hundridge Parish, Chesham, Bucking- hamshire, England. His first wife was Abigail Skiff and after her death he was married to Love Skiff (nee West). After disposing of his property, he and his family started for Binghamton, where a relative was living. On the journey they stopped for over night at Windham, Greene County, and while there learned that a severe wind storm had blown many trees across the road to their proposed journey, thus making it difficult if not impossible for them to proceed. While there he met Thomas Harriott, who offered to sell him his farm at what is now Jewett Center, which offer was accepted. His eldest son by his first marriage, Ben- jamin (grandfather of the late Judge Chase), followed the ox cart, which con- tained the family effects, around by the way of what is now Prattsville and Lexington, while Zephaniah Chase and his family crossed the mountain over what is now Jewett Heights, following the trail by means of blazed trees. His was the second white family to settle in the present town of Jewett. There was a log hut on the premises and a house under construction. Later Zeph- aniah Chase built the large two story frame house which for many years served as his 8 THE CHASE CHRONICLE home and that of his descendants. For many years it has not been owned by the Chase family. It is still standing, but the windows have been removed, preparatory to tearing it down. Zephaniah Chase and many of his early descendants are buried in a family cemetery on the old Chase farm. Although Zephaniah Chase was a Baptist, most of his descendants are either Methodists or Presbyterians. He served as a private cap- tain in the Revolutionary War from the State of Massachusetts. He was a cabinet maker by trade. Following is a brief resume of some of the descendants of Zephaniah Chase who have been prominent citizens in. their day and generation, but this subject is by no means fully covered: Two of the early Chases, Rev. Charles Chase (1790-1844), son of Zephaniah and Love Chase, and Rev. John Chase (1812- 1854), son of Joseph and Jemima Howk Chase and grandson of Zephaniah Chase, were local preachers of the Methodist Epis- copal church. Benjamin Chase (1774-1862), eldest son of Zephaniah Chase by his first marriage, was thirteen years old when his father and step-mother moved to Jewett and it was he who followed the ox cart by way of Pratts- ville and Lexington. He married Lydia Skiff, a daughter of his step-mother by her first marriage, and spent his life at Jewett Center. He served as an officer in the local militia. Albert Chase (1819-1902), was a son of Benjamin and Lydia Skiff Chase. He was engaged in the lumber and contracting business and later purchased a large farm near Hensonville. For many years he was active in the work of the Methodist Epis- copal church and for twenty-six years served as superintendent of the Sunday School. Emory A. Chase (1854-1921), son of Al- bert and Laura Woodworth Chase was born at Hensonville. He studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1880. He rose to prominence in his profession, became a jus- tice of the Supreme Court of New York State and at the time of his death was a judge of the Court of Appeals. For many years he was one of Catskill’s most highly respected citizens and was identified with its religious, financial and educational circles. David Chase (1786-1871), son of Zeph- aniah and Love Chase, was born at Martha’s Vineyard and was less than two years old when his parents settled at Jewett Center. Tradition tells us he was carried from Windham to Jewett Center in his mother’s arms. He was married to Abigail Pratt, a sister of Col. Zadock Pratt, for whom the town of Prattsville was named. He was for many years a respected member of the Presbyterian church. Rev. D. Noble Chase (1813-1895), was the eldest son of David Chase. He was converted under the preaching of his cousin, Rev. John Chase, and was for many years an ordained local preacher of the Methodist Episcopal church. It is estimated that dur- ing those years he preached one thousand times without compensation. When the Methodist Episcopal church was built at Jewett Heights, he let out his farm and took the contract for building it, himself paying one-fourth the cost. He was a member of the first Board of Trustees and continued such to the time of his death. For over forty years he was a steward and most of that time recording and district steward. Rev. Platt N. Chase, Ph. D. (1848-1923), was the son of Rev. D. Noble Chase. For nearly half a century he was a member of the New York Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church and during his long minis- try was very successful in evangelistic work. He was active in the Prohibition party and was at different times its candi- date for Member of Assembly from this district and in 1912 was the party nominee for Representative in Congress. His last years were spent at Kingston. Charles P. Chase (1820-1907), youngest son of David Chase, was an honored mem- ber of the Presbyterian church for sixty- two years. Dr. Walter B. Chase (1842-1920), eldest son of Charles P. Chase, for several years practiced medicine at Windham, but in 1879 moved to Brooklyn, where he built up a large family and hospital practice. George H. Chase (1845-1922), youngest THE CHASE CHRONICLE 9 son of Charles P. Chase, for many years conducted a store and summer boarding house at Jewett Heights, where he was postmaster for several years. He repre- sented his town as supervisor for several terms and was a member of the building committee when the Greene County Court House was built. He was elected Member of Assembly by the Republican Party in 1913-14-15. For many years he was an official member of the Jewett Presbyterian church and a member of its choir. Henry B. Whitcomb (1837-1917) was the eldest son of Rev. I. Barber and Polly Chase Whitcomb and a grandson of David Chase. He was for many years proprietor of the Winter Clove House, a large summer board- ing house at Round Top. He served as school commissioner and county clerk. West Chase (1788-1880), a son of Zeph- aniah Chase, for many years kept an inn at the Chase homestead. He was post- master for forty years and in 1860 repre- sented his town as supervisor. West Chase Baldwin (1843-1918), eldest son of Samuel A. and Eunice Chase Bald- win and grandson of West Chase, was as- sociated for several years with a coal company in Brooklyn, the last few years being manager of the business. During the later years of his life, he and his good wife opened their Windham home to a few boarders, particularly teachers and high school students, and by their kind and courteous treatment made it far more than a mere boarding house. It was home for its guests. In compiling the information for the above article, the writer is indebted to old records, traditions and newspaper articles.

Main St., Battle Creek, Mich. Re TALLMAN CHASE “I wish to thank you and the other friends I have met in the Chase Family Association for the assistance I have received in solv- ing the mystery of my ancestor TALLMAN CHASE. I am somewhat surprised at the results, but the proofs given me seem very conclusive that the main line of my descent is as follows: (1) William b. about 1687 in England. (2) William b. about 1622 also in Eng- land, wife—lived in Yarmouth, Mass. (3) Abraham, b.—m.—Elizabeth, lived in Tiverton (at that time in Massa- chusetts, now Rhode Island.)

Grace Bell Brooks at Battle Creek, Mich., Sept. 23, 1903. The above Hannah Cook, I am informed was the daughter of a woman by the name of Chase, or the grand daughter. I should like to know what was her descent, and I have a suspicion that Hulda Young also may have had a strain of Chase blood. When I undertook the task of tracing our ancestry, notes relative to “Hezikiah” Chase and “Aquila” Chase were in the collection; also the name of “Benjamin”. I still have a notion that they may have been some foundation for the theory that they may have been mixed up in the line somewhere. There were two “Hezikiahs” father and son, who lived at Swansea, Mass. I wonder if anyone knows what the relationship of Hannah Cook was with the “Chase” family through her mother, or of any other wife above mentioned. I shall certainly appre- ciate any information available.” ___________________ Editor “Chase Chronicle”: To assist a future Chase genealogist who might be puzzled over the name of my brother, Lewis Chase Wheat, of Delaware County, N.

MARY L. CHASE Mary L. Chase, wife of John Carroll Chase, passed away in Wellesley, Mass., December 7, 1927, after several years of ill health. She was the youngest and last sur- viving daughter of Samuel and Lydia Ann (Emery) Durgin of West Newbury, Mass. Her early married life was passed in Manchester, N. H., where she went as a bride in 1871. From there the family went to Wellesley, Mass., then to New York City, and thence to Wilmington, N. C., Mr. Chase being identified with water works construc- tion and other engineering work in these places. In 1893 the family returned north and settled in Derry, N. H., which was her residence until the end, although in late years she had spent little time there on ac- count of ill health, dividing the time be- tween her daughters in Coronado, Calif., and Brookline, Mass., her last trip to Coron- ado being in 1924. Her last visit to Derry was to vote in the election of 1920. For many years, until the state of her health prevented, she was prominent in various activities, church, social and fra- ternal, and blessed with an attractive per- sonality, was universally liked and es- teemed. She was one of the organizers of the Woman’s Club, had served as Regent of the Molly Reid Chapter, D. A. R., as Worthy Matron of the Eastern Star, and President of the Ladies Benevolent Society of the Central Congregational church, of which she was a member. In the work of the society she took a great interest, and quite recently a tribute to the service she rendered was dedicated at the Church parlors. A devoted wife and mother for over 56 years, she leaves to mourn her loss a hus- band, two daughters, Mrs. Raffaele Lorini of Coronado, Calif., and Mrs. Samuel C. Prescott of Brookline, Mass., and three Prescott grandchildren.

AN OLD LILAC BUSH (From “An Outdoor Diary” in Cleveland Plain Dealer) A bird is perched on a lilac bush by the brink of an old, old road. And the lilac bush is as old as the road, and the hands that planted the lilac bush and builded the home and wrought through the years are as dead as the sand of the untrodden path and as dead as the asters of autumn. And the home is dead, and the work is dead, and of all the work there is only seen the cellar stones and the faint green path from the old front stoop to the roadway. The old foundation is covered with moss, and the weeds have reclaimed the old cellar. In autumn gross weeds are abloom in the shade where the bins and the baskets were laden and sweet in the autumn of years of the lavender past, in the pale dreamy years of the dim long ago when the lilac was young and the life of the year was the life of the home and its candle-light joy. There were roses that gossiped in sisterly groups by the side of the burgeoning lilac. But now there is only a hole in the ground, with cellar stones softened by moss and gray weeds, and a lilac with March swelling buds by the road, and a bird at the top of. the lilac. A song-sparrow perched at the top of the bush, the motherly bush of a realm of the dead, and the wind from the west had a wintry bite, and the song-sparrow perched but a moment. He. looked to the right and perchance by a whim he looked to the left, too, and then flew away. He flew to an old broken fence by the road where the weeds and bushes were woven. And he sang not a song in that place of the dead, in that place where the lilac alone held alert to pro- claim that the life which had once been so dear, which had once been so worthy in fact and in hope, was dead as the oak leaves of ten years ago, was as dead as the deadness eternal. __________________ IN CHANGE UNCHANGING January! Darkness and light reign alike. Snow is on the frozen ground. Cold is in the air. The window is blossoming in frost- flowers. Why is the ground hidden? Why is the earth white ? So hath God wiped out the past; so hath he spread the earth, like an unwritten page, for the new year! Old sounds are silent in the forest and in the air. Insects are dead, birds are gone; leaves have perished, and all the foundations of soil remain. Upon this lies white and tran- quil the emblem of newness and purity, the virgin robes of the yet unstained year! April! The singing month. Voices of many birds call for resurrection over the graves of flowers, and they come forth. Go, see what they have lost. What have ice and snow done unto them? How did they fall into the earth stripped and bare ? How did they come forth opening and glorified? Is it then so fearful a thing to lie in the grave? In its wild career, shaking and scourged of storms through its orbit, the earth has scattered away no treasures. The hand that governs in April governed in January. You have not lost what God hath only hidden. You lose nothing in struggle, in trial, in bitter distress. If called to shed thy Joys as trees shed their leaves; if the 16 THE CHASE CHRONICLE affections are driven back into the heart, as the life of the flowers to their roots, yet be patient. Thou shalt lift up thy leaf-covered boughs again. Thou shalt shoot from thy roots new flowers. Be patient! Wait! -Henry Ward Beecher. ___________________ AN OLD PRAYER STILL GOOD Here is an interesting old prayer in verse, which dates from the eighteenth century at least. It is of English origin, but its author is unknown. It is as appropriate today as when written, as a petition for divine help in living a happy, healthy and useful life here on earth. Give me a good digestion, Lord, and also something to digest. Give me a healthy body, Lord, with sense enough to keep it at its best. Give me a healthy mind, good Lord, to keep the good and pure in sight, Which, seeing sin, is not appalled but finds a way to set it right. Give me a mind that is not bound, that does not whimper, whine or sigh. Don’t let me worry overmuch about the fussy thing called I. Give me a sense of humor, Lord; give me the grace to see a joke, To get some happiness out of life and pass it on to other folk. The Churchman (New York). ____________________ Sol Brown’s old mare Kate had a bad toothache which caused her nerves and muscles so to contract and expand that her left hind hoof caught Sol in the right hip (or thereabouts) throwing him through the barn doorway into the sheep pen in front of the old ram who pitched him over the fence into the pig pen. Sol, considerably begrimed and somewhat dazed—losing his sense of direction—laboriously climbed the side of the pen which brought him into the back pasture where the red bull was feed- ing. His Highness resenting this intrusion, met Sol more than half way and Sol next found himself in the hen house and sitting squarely in a nest where he had inadvert- ently scrambled a dozen eggs. Said Sol—after due deliberation—“Now I’ve done my daily dozen I need a bath and breakfast! Gosh! ain’t I glad I played football when I was in college!” ___________________ THINGS THAT COUNT By Stoddard King (An inspirational poem.) It’s not that your ancestors’ blood was blue That makes you a first-class man, For many a chap’s as good as you Though he comes from a humble clan; It isn’t the gilt on your coat of arms That gives you the right to smile, And it isn’t the list of your social charms; It’s—what have you done worth while? It’s not the cut of the clothes you wear, Or the sheen of your silken shirt, But it’s just how much of your wealth you share With the man who is hit and hurt.. It isn’t your creed and it isn’t your race That wins you the golden crown, But it’s whether you choose to adorn your face With a happy smile or a frown. Oh, it isn’t the cash in your bank account Or the size of your motor car, Or your diamond rings or the large amount Of your stocks that are over par; Or the races you run, or the hills you climb, Or the part of town where you dwell— And it isn’t the sense of this species of rime, But the fact that it’s sure to sell! ___________________ WHEN OLD BEN FRANKLIN SCORED Long after the victories of Washington over the French and the English had made his name familiar to all Europe, Benjamin Franklin was a guest at a dinner given in honor of the French and English ambas- sadors. The ambassador from England arose and drank a toast to his native land: “To England—the sun, whose bright beams enlighten and fructify the remotest comers of the earth.” The French ambassador, filled with his own national pride, but too polite to dispute the previous toast, offered the following: “To Prance—the moon whose mild, steady and cheering rays are the delight of all nations, consoling them in darkness and making their dreariness beau- tiful.” Then arose “old Ben Franklin” and said in his slow but dignified way: “To George Washington—the Joshua who com- manded the sun and the moon to stand still, and they obeyed him.” ___________________ Lonnie Chase [email protected]

My grandmother was born Press Isabella Kate CHASE in 1869 in Alton a district of Southampton in Hampshire, England. So far I have been unable to connect with anyone researching my branch, or rather twig, of the Chase family. I am wondering if anyone can tell me what The Chase Chronicles are and if my branch of the Chase tree would be included in these chronicles and in what way? Many thanks in anticipation of your response, Julie in Canada.
