Hi, I was wondering if anyone could give me help with the correct pronunciation of Acquila Chases name? Is it pronounced A"QUILL"a like a quill or is it pronounced A "key"la... like Tequila? I've heard a couple of different versions including A"KILL" a. Thanks, Kathy Caslin [email protected]

I descend from the Chases who lived in Wisconsin 150 years ago. Heman Chase & family moved from Lewis County, New York to Summit County, Ohio where Heman died. Around 1850 his son James W (& other Chases), James wife, Hannah, & their children moved to Wisconsin. First they were in Dane County but eventually settled in Chippewa County (Cooks Valley). James son, Charles, moved in his later years to Arkansas with his son, Arthur, my great grandfather. I know there were other Chases in Wisconsin. Are any of their decedants here on this list? I'd be happy to share what I have and hopefully obtain some new information in the process.

CHASE of Benton Twp.,Luzerne County. $750.00 for 101 acres and 10 perches. Book 43, page 484, 28 October 1846, GEORGE CLYMER surviving devisee in trust of GEORGE CLYMER dec'd by his attorney S. MOSELERT (?) of Susquehanna County,Pa, to JOSEPH CHASE of Benton Twp.Luzerne County. $384.00 for 76 acres and 134 perches. Does anyone have any thing on these CHASES I would like any info you may have. Thanks,Clyde

From the book decendants of William Chase page 325 article 102 Caleb Chase (Capt, Jonathan,John, William, William) was born at Yarmouth 25 Sept 1713. he married ,in Nov. 1734, Priscilla Godfrey Child: I.

I have a loose CHASE in my records and would like to confirm my guess about his parentage and marriages. This is what I think may be correct, but really have been unable to find proof: Caleb-5, Jonathan-4, John-3, William-2, William-1 born in Yarmouth, Barnstable Co, MA on 25 Sep 1713 and md Priscilla Godfrey there in Nov 1734. I have a Caleb Chase md to Mary Wixam/Wixon in Yarmouth, Barnstable Co., MA on 8 Sep 1736. "Some of the Descendants of William Chase" lists only 1 child for Caleb and Priscilla, so it would seem reasonable to presume that she died during or soon after he was born. There are some mention of this 2nd marriage in LDS pedigrees but no documentation. The marriage to Mary Wixan/Wixon is in Yarmouth VRs so I know it actually took place. It is also noted in Wixam/Wixon genealogies that I have. Since he is the only male of that name and in the right time frame, I think that his first wife died and he married a 2nd time. Does anyone have any information on this situation? Would appreciate feed-back. Jeanne T. Lane

Hi. I hope that someone can help me with my research. My Great- Grandfather was Winton French Blankenship. He married ESTELLA CHASE May 13, 1901. They had 3 children, Georgia b Feb 25, 1902 (Ripley) d Oct 28, 1985 (Columbus OH) and 2 sons, Eugene Robert and William. Estella's parents were Levina Sayre Chase and William Chase of Jackson County WV. After Winton died in 1908, Estella married William Overton French of Rockcastle WV. After Mr. French died she married Earl Smith of Columbus Oh. I have been having trouble finding any info on Estella after She married Mr. French. I would like to know if anyone can tell me when she died and where. I would appreciate any help that anyone can give me. Arlene

According to the Chase/Chamberlain genealogy, Charles was born in Sidney ME, 28 May 1802, and was living in Illinois in 1872. He married Celia Pitts of Fairfield ME. That's all the information that is given -- no descendants are listed.

Dear Listers, I am looking for information on the sons of Charles (Aquilla, Daniel, Daniel, Daniel, Isaac, Isaac) and Celia(nee unknown) He was born in 1804 she in 1806, in the Fairfield, Somerset Co, ME area. Their sons (so far are) Charles M (1831) Sullivan (1833) George W (1835) Any information on them would be wonderful Thanks in advance CindyTobolski

Over the last few months the search to find proof regarding William "...of the First Fleet" origins. It might be as well if everyone concerned agreed as to what would be considered proof. This is an old chestnut but probably worth reviewing. So I would like to know the views of those descendants of William as to what they would consider proof because by agreeing the type of document required would be the best way of determining where to look. So my view is that at the very least it would be that it would require a contemporary document preferably from a recognised source. Records of births and marriages would appear to have little use in this case other than to suggest possible candidates. Recent postings to the list by Jeffrey give some possible candidates. The records of those born to him or his descendants in America actually stated where he came from. This is only liable to be in the records of the 2 children known to have been born to him but could possibly figure in the Wills of his children but I believe this has already been covered. From some details of his misdemeanors recorded in the Plymouth Colony records it would appear that they have been searched without success. What is really needed is a document that states either that he was from the Parish of his birth. or more correctly of his domicile just before he left to go to America. This is more likely to be found in the U.S could possibly be found in the Parish Records for as I have stated before it was necessary for those living in a Parish to seek the Lord of the Manor's permission to leave. Of course not everyone did this they just up and went. However by the very nature of the venture by the Mass. Bay Company it is highly likely that he would have had no problem getting permission to leave. As I have said previously I consider the search of those records to be the most likely to prove successful. The fly in the ointment is that some Parish records are in private hands. As is already known the Wivenhoe Court Records were last known to be owned by a private individual who has since died,( It is in the manor Court Records that such items as permission to leave would have been recorded). Another possible source could be the Wills,(if they made them), of the possible parents or grandparents of William who may have made bequests to him. Anybody else got any ideas where there might be a possible source of the information as to William's origins.? Keith Hume Incidentally I believe this same criteria could apply to the ancestors of Aquila and Thomas

All, If William Chace came from Wivenhoe to America in 1630 and brought a Wife and an eight year old child with him, William was probably born around 1600 give or take a few years. That much, we already know, right? OK, Benjamin Chace could very well have been his father. And, Helen Harvy/vey his mother. The dates fit. But, have we all taken a very good look at the Boyd's Marriage records for Wivenhoe at that time? And have we eliminated each Chace/Chase family listed as being neither parents nor grandparents? Here are the marriages from Wivenhoe around that time. 1566 Chase John & Jone Jackson 1577 Chase John & Elizabeth Dennis 1580 Chase John & Rose Warren 1586 Chase John & Sarah Besabe 1591 Chase Benjamin & Helen Harvy 1600 Chase John & Elizabeth Puckle Have we ties between these families from other records? Look at the Essex Wills I have at my website. There is a Joan Chase, John Chace and there is a Richard Chase of Ardleigh (1574 Chase Richard & Cible Richardson, in Boyd's) whose will list a William as his son. We should really put a good family tree together with what we DO know of the Chace/Chases of Essex. Visual Thinking.

Good evening, I am assuming that I am writing to Lonnie Chase? I have the Chase CD that Keith Hume did and while looking through the 2000 reunion pictures, came across those of Wilson and his wife, Fay. Can you let me know where he is from? He looks so much like my father, Frank Chase, whose family lived in Caribou, Maine.I cannot find anything to indicate that they were not captured by aliens or fell off the planet.!! At least I am am not able to locate where they finally ended up. Derek Chase has suggested that the Chase forebears were of the loyalist line since they came out of NB, Canada. Anything you can tell me will be most appreciated. Have a good one, Dolores Chase Jarden _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com

Good evening, I'm assuming that I'm writing to Lonnie Chase? At any rate, I have the CD of the Chases and while looking through the photos, came across one of Wilson Chase who looks like my dad. Can you tell me anything about him, such as where he's from, etc? My family came from upper Maine and seemed to have fallen off of the planet!

Ginger and Keith, Good to hear from you both, you Ginger about William, and you Keith with a well received recognition of the 4th of July you posted yesterday. Thanks. I have been so very busy with work lately and have had no time to post. I am just swamped and snowed under at present. (a snowy swamp, what a mess!! :) Ginger, I am so sorry to hear that the raging fires have come so close. I don't know what the actual cause was in the Southwest and in Colorado, but it seems the fires were caused through malfeasance. What a shame.

While reading the most gracious holiday greeting from our "Limey" cousin Keith (His words, not mine), I was reminded of a humorous story. Many years ago my family and I were living in Bermuda. We spent about six years there. I had a very good English friend who was an employee of British Airways. He enjoyed teasing in a slightly sarcastic way. Every July 4th, he would say, "Isn't this the day that we gave you your independence?" to which I would reply. "No, it's the day that we whipped your butt and took it." That would silence him until he could think of a satisfactory comeback. To Keith and all of our other British friends, thanks it's good to have you as our allies in this war on terror. Art

Ginger, I would only add one thing to your message of encouragement. :>) > > here is in my opinion that we need > to continue pursuing > the origin of our William, Aquila and Thomas. > Keith, thank you for the 4th of July greeting. I think that England and America are close now, and that is a good feeling. From blackened Colorado, Lonnie Chase [email protected]

Dear William Chase---Chace line. Reference June 24 message. Subject: Regarding the proper spelling of the name---Chase---Chace For what my opinion is worth--- Throughout history in researching any name we find many variations. I would assume this is true with our Chase---Chace name. Nuff said. The important point here is in my opinion that we need to continue pursuing the origin of our William. Perhaps through the information we gather on a cousin, nephew, brother of our William we might find further leads. Don't lose hope and continue pursuing every lead. we have to remember that we are NEVER FINISHED WITH OUR RESEARCH ON THE CHASE---CHACE NAME or any other name. Ginger in AZ. P.S. We have just survived a huge fire only one hour by car from here. Our skies are not their usual blue here but a gray. Nearly of our wonderful state and national parks are closed and so summer in Arizona is certainly not normal for us.

And how could I have publicly omitted Ginger Reeder as one whose contributions made such a big difference - she being the one who deduced that "our" William came from the area around Wivenhoe! When I started as a novice Chase/Chace researcher, she was the one who spurred me on with her wonderful encouragement. I wanted my research standards to reach the level of hers. So, Jeffrey, you are following some mighty "heavy hitters" there................
