Hi, Did you know there is a brass rubbing in Middlesex County England of a WILLIAM CHASE? I discovered it when looking for ancestors names on brass rubbings. The web page listed hundreds of names of brass rubbings, but, alas, no pictures of them. The William Chase rubbing was dated 1544 which would have been after he died. I know this is too early for our William Chase, but it might be a clue as to his origins. The rubbing is located in the parish of Isleworth. Here's the address for the page. http://www.devon.gov.uk/library/locstudy/brasses.html Have fun, Sandra Davidson

Clear Day Hello all! Being in the antique/collectible business I am always looking through boxes of "stuff" at yard sales, flea markets, etc. I recently came across a book JACK AND THE THREE SILLIES told by Richard Chase. Is anyone familiar with the "JACK tales" ??? According to information I found in my research of this book the Jack tales" were a collection of folktales that were handed down from one generation to another in the Southern Appalachian Mountains and they all centered around a colorful character named Jack. Does anyone know how this Richard Chase fits into our line? Curiously, Edie Palmer

Lonnie, I wanted to let you know that I got a call today from the gentleman who heads the Sutton, Mass. Historical Society. I sent him the info you send me about Isaac Chase and he is looking into it. One thing he mentioned ....which did ring true.....is that he found the statement from the "Chase Chronicles" article about there being a "paucity of slate" in the area of the mill to not be very accurate. You can dig up slate pretty much anywhere in Millbury and Sutton. My comment was that they may have descrated the graves because the slate was already cut into the size they needed for the walls in the mill....and it may have been convenience rather than paucity. The old Indian burial ground is still there though. Be interesting to see what he finds out. And by the way....his wife is descended from Aquilla through a branch in Maine. :0) Kathy Caslin [email protected]

Hi Chase Listers, Some of you may be interested in the following information posted on another list. The information is about Rev. David I. Chase. Evidently he was the son of William Chase (Stephen, Joseph, William, William) and Sarah Jess (George, Joseph). The following was posted on Nova-Scotia-L list by Phil Vogler. http://www.glinx.com/~philv/ Berwick Register, Wednesday Evening, July 2, 1924 Reminiscent And Historical The following clippings from the Messenger and Visitor (now the Maritime Baptist) of May 10, 1905, refer to the lives and death of Rev David Chase and his wife, in the year 1844, of whom reference was made in an item in last week’s issue of the Register. Mrs. Mansfield Nichols, granddaughter of Rev and Mrs. Chase, has requested us to publish these clippings, which should prove of great interest, especially to the older settlers of Western Kings. Rev. David Chase (Messenger and Visitor, May 10, 1905) Often when reading accounts of the lives and grand deeds of departed ministers, such as William Hall, Dr. Welton, and others, my mind invariably turns to one noble man of God, and the wife also being worthy of such a husband. This man was the Rev. David Chase, the first person granted a license to preach from the Second Cornwallis (now Berwick) church. His wife was Jane Morse, a sister of Daniel Morse of Nictaux, after whom her son, also D. M. Welton, was named. No family, I think, is better known today in the Annapolis Valley among Baptist people. Old Mr. Daniel Morse of Nictaux was grandfather of Rev. L. D. Morse, of Wolfville. One sister was Mrs. Sidney Welton, mother of Dr. Welton, another, Mrs. Abel Parker, mother of Rev. D. O. Parker and Rev. David Freeman’s wife. This makes Mrs. Parker grandmother of Mrs. L. D. Morse, also of Mrs. Dr. Trotter of Acadia. But the one of this family that my letter is especially intended to bring before our minds is gone, the baby of the household, who became, at the age of seventeen, the wife of the Rev. David Chase, left her home and went to a distant part of New Brunswick. In those days it seemed as far away as the North West or British Columbia does now. There at Jemseg this noble couple, rich in faith toward God, worked and prayed, forgetting their own health in their anxiety for the salvation of souls. In many places there were no carriage roads and they went on horseback through paths in the forest. Twice Mrs.. Chase took her wedding ring off her finger and put in the mission box because she had no money to give. The ring was dear to her heart as her husband knew, and once he planned and bought it back, but the second time it had to go. How many would do the same today? After eight or ten years of hard work, exposure and anxiety, broke the strong constitution, and the faithful child of God laid down the cross and went to receive from his Master the crown. The young wife could not stand the blow (though she thought of her four little ones) and in less than two months they laid her beside her loved one. Mr. Chase died March 24th, and on the 22nd of May the same year, she closed her eyes to earthly scenes to behold the glories of heaven. Over the graves of this devoted couple the church erected a beautiful monument with told how much they thought of them. One of the sons died at the age of 22. Another son is doing business in England. The two daughters, one Mrs. Jonathan Sanford, the other Mrs. Reuben Loomer, still live in Weston, a branch of the Berwick church. Two gentlemen asked Mrs. Sanford for her father’s license to preach, as they wished to place it in the museum of Acadia College, I suppose it is there today. DEAR EDITOR: - I have read with interest the sketch of my uncle the Rev. David I. Chase in the MESSENGER AND VISITOR of May 10th. His paternal home was in Welsford, a few miles northward from Berwick. In my early boyhood I remember him visiting my parents, feeble and wasting away in consumption. I send you as a relic of the past a copy of the License given to him in the old Pleasant Valley meeting house seventy-one years ago. I am holding the original, in the Rev. Wm. Chipman’s hand-writing, and characteristic style of composition, with a number of other relics for the Acadia University museum among which is correspondence of Rev. Wm. Chipman and his son Isaac, when Isaac was a student at Waterville, Me., and his youthful autobiography, and journal when a student, and the last letter he wrote to his father, pleading for the college a few days before his untimely death in Minas Basin. LICENSE OF THE 2ND BAPT. CHURCH FOR BRO. D. I. CHASE These may certify that our dear brother David I. Chase a member of the 2nd Baptist church in Cornwallis having improved his gifts for some time past in Prayer Exhortation and Preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ, that being satisfied that he has public gifts, do now license him to improve the same in manner as heretofore and wherever the Lord in his wise providence may be pleased to direct his steps. And our prayer to God is, that he may be directed in infinite wisdom, and guided by his Holy Spirit into the mysteries of Redemption, and prove himself to be a good minister of Jesus Christ, and his labors of love hereby be abundantly blessed of the Lord. Signed in behalf and by order of said church, ALFRED SKINNER. Done in Conference, 26th July, 1834. --

Lonnie, Cool stuff, that which you posted. But, only one reference was made to the Chases - "in a book called The Lawrence, Chase, Towneley Estate: The Mystery Solved." Not too many Chas(c)es. Towneley? What about Townshend? Could William Chase have been the unrecorded, unimportant, and unrequited love and husband of Lord Roger Towhshend's daughter? That would, indeed, explain much. No inheritance is desired. Only a way to make real what history is still there. Had Roger Townshend a daughter named Mary? So no, no bother. So yes, why not pursue this name?

> But, only one reference was made to the Chases Jeffrey, The post was not made to reference any Chases, it was made to show that the name, "Mary Townley," was associated with several other families in connection with a fortune myth. Her name appears as the wife of William Chase in many genealogies. She also appears as the wife of John Lawrence and Joseph Lawrence and she shows up in the Herbert family and probably others as well. Lonnie Chase [email protected]

An attendance list and a list of officers at the 1911 and 1912 reunions of the Chase/Chace Association. THE TWELFTH REUNION July 1911 The 12th Annual Reunion of the Chase- Chace Family Association, was held in Provi- dence on Thursday, June 29th, at Elysium Hall, corner of Broad and Union streets. It was attended by about 100 members of the family, 79 of whom registered. The weather was fair, but quite warm, which fact might have prevented the attendance of some who would otherwise have come. There were present representatives from six different states, but the bulk were from Southern New England, and the William Chase descendants predominated. It was one of the most suc- cessful gatherings of the Family ever held. At 9:30 the social hour began, followed by the formal program at 10.30. The first business was the report of the Treasurer, Omar P. Chase, and showed a larger amount of money received for promoting the interests of the Association than in any previous year, and the Treasurer also reported the largest ex- penditures of any previous year, the heavy expenditures being largely for the publication of the "Chronicle." Owing to the gathering at the same hour of the New England Educational Association, his honor, Mayor Fletcher, who was to have made the address of welcome, was forced to be absent, and in his place Mr. Frederick A. Chase of Providence, as representing the Prov- idence members of the family, welcomed the assembly. The meeting opened with the singing of the following original hymn by Alfred Bunker of Roxbury, Mass. : 0 God of our fathers in years long ago Their Guardian and Guide across the broad main, Be with us, their children, here gathered today. >From near and from far assembled again. Be with us and bless us, but not us alone : Bless also the absent wherever they may be, >From ancestors few, they to thousands have grown, And are scattered abroad o'er this land of the free. We honor our kinsfolk, their virtues we praise As statesmen or clergy, or citizens true, May we be as worthy, and honor the name In all we propose, and in all that we do. Prayer was offered by the Rev. Platt N. Chase of Kingston, N. Y. The Annual Ad- dress of the President will be found elsewhere.

H. : 0 Thou, whose own are we, Kin of one family, A Pilgrim band, Who now upon life's way, To cheerful greetings pay- The gladness of today, United States! Grant us, this parting hour, Dear Lord, thy precious dower, Of faith to roam In this fond, sacred tie, That each to each draws nigh, Till we with rapture spy Thy House-our Home. There we shall ever be, Blameless at rest in Thee, And love benign, While neither doubt nor care Invades the peaceful air, And all in transport share The joy divine.

Hello All, I have just this week received a copy of the obituary of my Great Great Great Grandfather Thomas Chace. Dr. Thomas Hamm at Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana, assisted me in obtaining a copy of the obituary from The American Friend magazine. It is posted at my website and I have done quite of bit of editing and have added some other new material. I began this week on Monday editing my website through the prompting of the obituary which arrived curiously and exactly ontime, exactly as it must have, because the day before, 4th mo. 14th, was a Sunday and therefore I could have received no mail. Travelling forward from the past as if to celebrate a remembrance forgotten in time and arriving exactly 157 years and one day after the death of his wife Lucretia, the obituary of Thomas Chace showed up on my doormat prompting me to edit my site and once again revisit the lines of a poem written about Lucretia's death. Hmmmm. Obituary of Thomas Chace, Quaker >From The American Friend, Third Mo. 28, 1895 p 308. CHACE. - Died at the home of his daughter, Rebecca C. Potter, near Shawnee, Johnson county, Kansas, Second month 5th, 1895, Thomas Chace, in his 88th year. He was born at Douglass, Mass., Eighth month 31st, 1807, was a birthright member of the Society of Friends, and for over fifty years was a member of Providence Monthly Meeting, Rhode Island. The eldest of the family, he was the last to be called home. Since 1878 his home has been at Shawnee, and he has been an elder in Kansas City Monthly Meeting since its organization. Thomas Chace lived a life of exemplary Christianity, and he was venerated and loved by all who knew him. His Christian testimonies, while not many, were definite and clear. He always expressed a hope in his Saviour and a consciousness of cleansing through the blood of Christ. Without any particular inllness he gradually grew weak, and after a confinement to his bed of only a few days yielded up his spirit as gently and peacefully as comes sleep to a little child. The poem about Lucretia's Death. Lines by a Friend to the memory of Lucretia Chace who departed this life 4th mo. 14th 1845 Rest happy soul thy rest is come Thy conflicts now are o'er Thy crown Immortal now is won and thine forever more Thou now can sing the song of Praise Amid that Blood wash'd band The blessed song of Ancient days For Canaan's Glorious Land Our hearts are sad that thou art gone The babes thou has left behind With the lov'd partner of heart Our sympathy shall find For them our hearts are raised in Prayer That they may reach that land and with our Dear Lucretia there Join the Blood wash'd Band Where sighs & sorrow never come Where tears are known no more But where His children find their home and God's Great Name adore.

That's the message........ Barb

Hi all, Am wondering if anyone has any info on the Wm. Wm. Wm. Isaac, James Chase, b. Freetown, 10/27/1729, m. Sarah Wood, & from what I see, Sarah Wood was the dt. of Henry Wood and Content Thurston? Also, on the Wm, Wm, Joseph, Stephen, m. Esther Buffington, their dt. Susannah Chase, b. 11/1/1735, Freetown, MA. m. Daniel Wood 7/30/1752. Anyone have any connection here? I believe that they probably both tie into the Cornells. Jeff and others who may be interested, you were right.......Cornell is also spelled Cornwell as my Daniel Wood Chase who m. Lydia M. (which I'm quite certain stands for Monroe) Cornwell appears as Cornell in SEVERAL other genealogies.. Same thing for Cox that I have, which is Cock in these other genealogies. I have Samuel Cornwell m. Charity Cox, his son Willet Cornwell, d. l/7/1845, m. Mary Cox, dt.Lydia M. Cornwell b. North Castle, Westchester Co., NY, 1810, m. 1835, Daniel Wood Chase. Must be the same people because all 3 generation names and the dates I have compared to the other genealogy dates are the same....... Lydia and her sibling are all listed with the same dates as I have.......!!!! Much of this Cornwell/Cornell family is buried in Mt. Hope Cemetery in Rochester, NY. Cornwell and Daniel Chase bought and split a lot in half there..... I have more Cornwell/Cornell if anyone is interested...........! Thanks Very much and hope the info I have helps someone else out.

Hello Fellow Chasers Chase, British Columbia, Canada in the South Thompson River Valley. Named after Whitfield Chase son of Josiah<Josiah<Seth<Moses<Moses<Aquila. There is a book "A Town Called Chase" by Joyce Dunn 1986 and 1994 Barry Price

I have recently become aware of a genealogical source for New England called The Boston Transcript. I have found a couple of relevant articles concerning Chases which I post here. BOSTON TRANSCRIPT: 1904 - Card 10 - April - June; no date 7128. 1. Chase, Sherman. I do not think it has ever been found who the wives of William (2) Chase, Jr., were. By his second wife (name unknown) he had son, Joseph (3), who married Sarah (3) Sherman, Feb. 8, 1694, daughter of Samson (2) and Isabel (Tripp) Sherman (Hon. Philip 1). Another son (my ancestor), Samuel (3) Chase, married also a Sarah Sherman, daughter of Samuel (2) and Martha (Tripp) Sherman (Hon. Philip 1). The above Sarah, daughter of Samson Sherman, named a child Samson Chase; also another Isabel Chase, which shows she was the daughter of Samson Sherman. Isabel and Martha Tripp were sisters and daughter of John (1) Tripp of Portsmouth, R. I., and wife, Mary (Paine) Tripp. I think someone placed the wrong Sarah Sherman, daughter of Peleg, as wife of Joseph Chase; no doubt because the age agreed with date of marriage, but this is not proof enough. I refer to wills, deeds, Bibles or other good authority. 2. Chase, Buffington. Stephen (4) Chase, son of Joseph (3) (William 2, William 1) and Sarah (Sherman) Chase, born March 2, 1708, married, first Esther (3) Buffington, Nov. 11, 1728, daughter of Benjamin (2) and Hannah (___) Buffington (Thomas 1); married, second wife, Bathsheba Stafford, 1751; third wife, Abigail Potter, 1769; fourth wife, Nancy Bushnell, January 1776; no issue. Children by Esther, first wife: Hannah, born Dec. 22, 1729, married Joseph Slade July 25, 1747; Sarah, born Sept. 18, 1731, married Jonathan Luther Jan. 16, 1752; Esther, born Aug. 5, 1733, married Thomas Earl Nov. 1, 1753; Susanna, born Nov. 1, 1735, married Daniel Wood May 30, 1752; Benjamin, born Nov. 29, 1737, married Mehitable Wood; Stephen, born Feb. 3, 1740, married (perhaps) Hannah Blithen of Swansea, Mass., 1760; Joseph, born, Feb. 13, 1742; Asa, born June 4, 1744, married Deborah Baker, daughter of Ebenezer; Jethro, born June 4, 1746; Peace, born June 5, 1748, married Daniel Baker, Nov. 26, 1767; Comfort, born Nov. 10, 1750, married Samuel Upton Feb. 18, 1773. The mother, Esther (Buffington) Chase, died 1750, after birth of child; the above-named Buffingtons, Slades, Luthers, Woods and Bakers all intermarried into my family lines. Thomas Buffington, son of William, came to New England in 1639; he first settled in Salem, Mass., removed to Swansea, Mass.; his will was proved Nov. 11, 1729; married Sarah Southwick of Salem, Mass., daughter of John and Sarah (___) Tidd Southwick and granddaughter of Laurence (1) and Cassandra, who were fined, whipped and banished for being Quakers. Their children were: Thomas, born 1672, married Hannah Ross Feb. 28, 1699; Benjamin, born 1675, married Hannah (___); Abigail married Samuel King, Aug. 13, 1714; William. The children of Benjamin and Hannah Buffington were: William, married Susanna Chase; Hannah, married Silas Chase 1733; Jonathan, married Sarah Luther 1735; Esther, married Stephen (4) Chase, son of Joseph (3) and Sarah Sherman (Samson 2, Philip 1) Chase, Nov. 11, 1728; Benjamin, born Feb. 9, 1701, married Isabel Chase Feb. 15, 1723. She was daughter of Joseph and Sarah (Sherman) Chase. E. E. P. BOSTON TRANSCRIPT: 1904 - Card 10 - April - June; no date 4. AYERS. April 27, 1904. I fail to find in the Essex Antiquarian the birth of John Ayer as being 1592. In what numbr can I find it? G. A. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Transcribed by Gloria ODOM BOSTON TRANSCRIPT: 1904 - Card 8 - April - June 27 April 1904 (*7123) 1, Chase, Sherman. In the Transcript of Oct. 15, 1902, I find an account of the Sherman family by E. E. P.; also later in the answered (numbered *5800) the Chase family by same correspondent. May I ask which Sarah Sherman married Joseph (3), daughter of Peleg (2) (Philip 1), born 1679, is given as marrying Joseph Chase; also Sarah (3) (Samson 2, Philip 1). Can anyone give me the mother of Joseph (2) Chase? E. E. P. says he is son of second wife of William (2) (William 1). 2. Chase, Buffington. One son of Jospeh (3) Chase was Stephen (4), born March 2, 1709. He died in Cornwallis (N. H. or N. S.) June 23, 1790. He had four wives. I do not know the first; the second was Esther Buffington, whose parents and marriage date I want. He married, third, Abigail Porter, and fourth, Nancy Burhill. 3. Chase, Blethen. Stephen (5) Chase, Jr’s marriage intention was entered in Georgetown records Oct. 4, 1760. She was called “Hanah Bilfeth” of Swansea, Mass. Her parents desired. 4. Ayers. “Five Colonial Families,” Vol. __, gives John Ayer of Newbury, 1635, wife Hannah. Will, proved Oct. 6, 1637?, says he was son of Thomas Ayer, County of Dorset, England, and born 1590?, in Wiltshire, England. In 1692 widow Hannah deeds land to her son, Robert, etc. Essex Antiquarian gives his births as 1592 and the death of his wife Hannah as Oct. 8, 1688; also says that he came in ship Mary Ann, 1637, and was registered in passenger list as John Eyre, grocer, of Norwich. These dates are conflicting. Can proof be given of either? 5. Evered. A John Evered, alias Webb, from Marlboro, England, 1635; Boston merchant, 1665; mentions in will “sons of John Ayer,” also “Rebecca, wife of John Aslebe?.” As she was the daughter of John (1) Ayer and wife Hannah, is it not probable that Hannah was an Everard? Can anything be given about this John Evered (alias Webb)? I find in “Newes from New England,” page 107, the following: “About 150 leagues from Boston eastward is the Isle of Sables whither one John Webb, alias Evered, an active man, with his company, are gone with commission from the Bay to get seahorse teeth and oyle.” Winthrop records in his journal, page 34, that “the merchants of Boston sent a vessel to the Isle of Sable with twelve men, and brought home 400 pair of sea-horse teeth which were estimated worth L300, and left 12 ton of oil and many skins which they could not bring away, being put from the island in a storm.” A John Webb sold land and house in Braintree to Samuel Allen, April 19, 1648. Perhaps “Braintree” can help on this Webb-Evered problem. Samuel Appleton of Ipswich married in Preston, England, Jan. 24, 1616, Judith Everard. Is anything known of her family? The following is an extract from a will: “Captain John Everedd als. Web of Drawcut, mentions in will: Bro. Wm. Dinsdald. Cousins: John, Robert, Thomas, Peter and Nat. Eyres, of Haverhill.” Also, “Eldest son of John Bishop, late of Newbury, now at Nantucket.” Marriage records Feb. 10, 1665; 13, 9, 1668. M. C. S. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NOTE BY GLORIA: Also, on one of the other BTs included in the index you can find more on the transcribed will of John EVEREDD.
