Joanna CHASE of Stratham, Rockingham, New Hampshire, daughter of Jonathan CHASE and Lydia ROLLINS married Thomas PERKINS. Joanna's father, Jonathan CHASE, was born September 1707 in Newbury, Essex, Massachusetts. He died August 18, 1744 in Stratham, Rockingham, New Hampshire. Her mother Lydia ROLLINS died January 2, 1769 in Stratham, Rockingham, New Hampshire. Joanna CHASE married Thomas PERKINS and they resided in Wakefield, Carroll, New Hampshire where their children were born. One of their children, Polly, was born abt. 1773. Judging from the birthdate of Polly, I would assume that Joanna must have been born between 1733 and 1744. Probably Thomas PERKINS was also. The History of Carroll County states that Benjamin PERKINS came from Dover Point, NH to Wakefield, NH in 1768 and lived near his brother Thomas. This implies that Thomas PERKINS might have also come from Dover Point, NH. Does anyone have any information on Joanna CHASE and Thomas PERKINS. I need dates for Joanna and the parents of Thomas as well as his birthdate.

Since he was very active in the Greenback Party which in the 1878 elections was instrumental in ending 20 years of Republican rule in Maine, I suspect the paper was most likely politically oriented. He also published a second paper in 1882 -83 called "Them Steers". The title apparently was taken from a quote attributed to him in a reference to the economic conditions of the time: >>Gold might remain as stable as the eternal hills, but somehow all other commodities were shrinking daily. "Them steers," Solon Chase indeed said aptly, "while they grew well, shrank in value as fast as they grew." << Copies of a few issues of both papers are on microfilm at the Univ. of Maine Folger Library. rac

Whoops !! Misread my notes when I said only three issues of Chase's Chronicle were published. Univ. of ME only has three issues, which is not quite the same thing. Sorry about that...

Were the titles identical or was the earlier (1877-78) one called "Chase's Chronicle" and the later one (1910-1930's) "The Chase Chronicle?" Do you know the purpose of Solon's paper? I am guessing that it was political but it would be interesting to know the contents.

Error in the "Seven Generations" book. On page 418, family number 1093, ......... 2419 Solon, next to last sentence: "He was called the founder of the Greenback party and editor of Chase's Chronicle". Solon was never Editor of the Chase Chronicle. Lonnie Chase [email protected]

This is the first time I've used this mailing list. I hope I'm doing it right. I'm trying to find parents for my second great grandfather Gilbert F. Chase, born 16 Mar. 1809 (date figured from his age at death). He married Fanny M. Shay 26 May 1820 in the Associate Reformed Church, Newburgh, Orange Co. NY. Gilbert died 13 June 1870 in Fishkill Landing, Dutchess Co. NY. He was engineer on the ferry-boat Union which crossed the Hudson River between Newburgh and Fishkill Landing (now Beacon). Fanny died 26 March 1848 from drowning in the Hudson River after throwing herself from a window of her home on the Long Wharf according to newspaper accounts. Gilbert later mariied Ann Augusta Weller on 30 Aug. 1849 and Setta (Letta?) Purdy on 22 May 1851. The children of Gilbert & Fanny as follows: James Walter Chase, b. 1 Aug. 1830, d. 23 July 1836 Clarissa Ann Chase b. 18 Nov. 1833, d. 26 Sept. 1905 married Henry G. Bogue, 22 Feb. 1851 Harriet Amelia Chase, b. 12 Sept. 1838, d. 17 Apr. 1923 in Newburgh married Nelson I. Marsh, 2 April 1860 in Fishkill-on Hudson Ebenezer Chase, b. 29 Aug. 1840, d. 6 Dec. 1912 married Julia Pollock 24 Apr. 1864 in Reformed Dutch Church, Fishkill-on- Hudson James Harvey Chase b. 1 June 1844, married Elvira Roe on 4 Jan. no marriage year or death date for him. All the above information is in the Family Bible of Gilbert & Fanny which I own and is also from church records. Gilbert had no children with Ann or Setta. All the events took place in either Dutchess County or Orange County, New York which are located on the east and west banks of the Hudson River about 60 miles north of New York City. I have no other information about any of the children except Harriet who was my great grandmother. Maybe some of their descendants are out there. But, most of all, from which of the many Chases did Gilbert spring and where?

Massachusetts voters should weigh the impact of this ill-advised legislation and voice opinions to their State Representatives: New England Historic Genealogical Society NEHGS eNews Special Edition July 19, 2002 Edited by Lynn Betlock [email protected] <mailto:[email protected] > Greetings from the New England Historic Genealogical Society! This free newsletter has been sent to NEHGS members and friends who have subscribed to it, or submitted their email addresses on various membership and sales department forms and website notices.

This special edition of the NEHGS eNews is being sent out to inform readers of a severe threat to access of Massachusetts vital records. The recently introduced Massachusetts House of Representatives bill H5158 (see links below for issues, status and contact information) would close marriage and death records since 1950, as well as birth records after 1910, to public access - including their indices! This bill has not had a public hearing and there is a significant danger of this bill passing without the opportunity for a public hearing. The Massachusetts bill H5158 is purportedly a rewrite of H132. See http://www.state.ma.us/legis/bills/house/h00132.htm <http://rd.bcentral.com/?ID=89092&s=7776565>. However, the full text of H5158 is not yet online and it is expected that further line by line examination of the H5158 printed text (36 pages) will uncover other issues of concern. The birth, marriage and death records (vital records) of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts have always been open to the public with few specific exceptions. See http://www.state.ma.us/legis/laws/mgl/gl-66-toc.htm <http://rd.bcentral.com/?ID=89091&s=7776565>. However, House Bill 5158, currently reported out to the Committee on House Rules, would close birth records after 1910 and marriage and death records since 1950 to public access - as of January 1, 2004, when the inquirer must be proven to be ONLY the individual in question or the "spouse, children, parent as named on birth record, legal guardian, sibling, grandparent, grandchild, executor, authorized legal representative or authorized genealogist designated by one of the aforementioned persons in writing". Closing these vital records would impact those who wish to be informed about their health histories. All recent medical studies point to the statistical and anecdotal importance of medical information for multiple generations - and beyond immediate lineal or lateral descent lines. Additionally, removing the indices from the public access will preclude researchers from even being able to narrow down the likely candidates for detailed record inspection - increasing the Catch-22 of having to prove a two generation or less direct lineal connection to the records in question - when that is the issue being researched! The H5158 bill could also remove access to the actual primary source record. It contains text including ". . . Such examination, at the discretion of the Custodian, may be from an automated database. . ." The H5158 bill does not provide funds for the expenditures of government agencies that would have to shoulder the new custodian and administrative responsibilities for records archiving and access validation and/or refusal - such that even what the Custodian considers legitimate access may not be administered in a timely fashion if the determination of legitimate access is not a funded administration expense. Identity fraud is a claimed goal of H5158 bill without regard to the actual identity fraud methods used and documented by numerous investigations - which include the old-fashioned methods of complete fabrication of identity,"trash scouring," wallet theft, home robbery, newspaper obituary targeting or institutional insider records misuse - as well as the advent of the Internet and other electronic transaction interceptions. Identity fraud thieves are not generally given to the methodical, time-consuming and formal task of searching and requesting vital records. Yesterday, an article on this issue ran in the Waltham [MA] newspaper, The Daily News Tribune. The story includes quotes from New England Historic Genealogical Society Director of Library User Services Marie Daly. You can view the article at http://www.dailynewstribune.com/news/local_regional/birthrecords07182002.htm <http://rd.bcentral.com/?ID=89094&s=7776565>. (Please note that while the article reports that thirty-six other states have adopted a new set of federal guidelines, there is no attempt to provide qualitative and quantitative comparisons of the state laws - which vary significantly.) What YOU can do You may monitor the status of this bill and check for the full text release at http://www.state.ma.us/legis/history/h05158.htm <http://rd.bcentral.com/?ID=89095&s=7776565>. The MA House bill H5158 is still not online as of July 19. The Massachusetts Genealogical Council, which represents the concerns of genealogists in the halls of state and local government, recommends that all Massachusetts residents contact their state representatives as soon as possible. If you are a Massachusetts resident and you do not know who your state representative is, you can find out at http://www.wheredoivotema.com/ <http://rd.bcentral.com/?ID=89088&s=7776565>. In addition to expressing your concern, you should request to see this bill for yourself. Ask your Massachusetts House representative for a copy. All non-resident Massachusetts researchers should notify friends and relatives in Massachusetts about this bill. Non-residents can also contact the chairperson of the House Rules Committee, Angelo M. Scaccia at 617-722-2692 or at [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>. Out-of-state residents may want to refer to the fact that they do research in Massachusetts and, in fact, travel to Massachusetts specifically to do research in the vital records. Action should be taken immediately as the formal sessions close on July 31 but impromptu sessions have sometimes been used to pass such legislation! The general content of the legislative protest letters should at least cover the following points, be sincere, personalized and not appear to be a form letter format: Dear (Representative Name): The birth, marriage and death records (vital records) of the Commonwealth have always been open to the public with few specific exceptions. House Bill 5158, currently reported out to the Committee on House Rules, would close birth records after 1910 and marriage and death records since 1950 to public access. We ask that you encourage further study of this bill by the Committee on House Rules and that you vote AGAINST this bill should it come to floor vote. H5158 would affect every citizen of the Commonwealth. Among other things it would: 1) block access to recent death records so that family medical histories could not be ascertained; 2) increase expenses for persons needing to prove legitimate access to the vital records; 3) not affect the risks of identity fraud or theft which does not occur from personal inspection of the vital records. Again I/we urge you to defeat H5158.

Hi,Chris, Lonnie Chase is the one who transcribed the Chronicles and he will probably see your message and I am sure he will be able to help. They really are the most interesting collection of articles written in the first part of the 1900s and full of information as well as giving considerable insight into the attitudes of the times, not only in which they were written but also about the subject matter. In a recent revamp of my CHASE web site I have included most,but not all, the Chronicles complete with an index. These are part of Lonnie's complete works. I am working on a long term project of converting Lonnie's and his wife Maryetta's work to html, keith Hume ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Newell" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, July 18, 2002 7:50 PM Subject: [CHASE-L] Chase Chronicles > Hello all... > > I recently discovered that there is a CD available with the contents of the > Chase Chronicles.

Thanks for the answer, Nancy. I have gone out to the Web-page and it was great. I plan to get in touch with the webpage owner. She seems to have come to the same conclusions that I have. Jeanne

Hello all... I recently discovered that there is a CD available with the contents of the Chase Chronicles. Can anyone point me in the right direction to obtain a copy?
