I'm searching for the family of a Leonard Chase who married Mary Jane Sargent on 29 Oct 1829 in Amesbury, MA. The marriage record says he is of Derry, NH however I have not found a record of him there. I recently found a Leonard Chase born 27 July 1807 in Dennis, MA, the son of Samuel and Polly Chase. I was wondering if any one has any information on this Dennis, MA Chase family. Dave Emerson Dave.emerson@iname.com

Dear Lonnie. Was so glad to receive your message today. A short time ago, I had posted a query asking if anyone could possibly give me any first names of Loyalist men at the time of my family dates and Lisa sent back a message with several names and Shadrach happens to be one included in the short list. Wouldn't it be something if THIS is the name of Samuel's father? After all the searching? Boy, in searching for this man, I always seem to be a day late and dollar short! The letter from Mrs. Gunning written in 1926 and the woman lived only an hour from my home here in Puyallup. Of course, the years are off a tad, myself not even being born then. Oh, I wish, I wish, I wish. But wishing won't help. Where did you get this issue of the CHASE Chronicles? I find it very interesting that she wrote of Samuel being born in Canada. I often wondered if that were possible since his birth date and place have been given only as "about". I felt I was pretty close when I found Clara Ann in an 1880 CA census wherein she said her mother was born in NH and father born in ME and Clara herself born in N.B. Samuel's place of birth could have been anywhere along the border, even MA. Clara's birth year and the birth years of her siblings are all correct. I wonder what she meant when she wrote "I think perhaps if I can get Samuel CHASE's father's family placed to 1870, I will know the rest"? Question. From whom do you descend? I dare not hope too much that Samuel is at last close to my grasp! Have hoped for so many years. But, still, I wish. Thank you again so much. Bobbie

Hello Robert. Got into my email last night after 2 days of not checking it and noticed your posting. I have a quick question for you. You stated that "James and John were the sons of the elusive Samuel CHASE and Elizabeth (MOORE) CHASE." All my records show that Samuel and Elizabeth had no sons, James and John. Their children were, William, Temperance, Alexis, Eliza and Clara- the last being my ancestor. However, William, the oldest child had both a James and a John by his wife, Sarah McPHERSON, which would have made James and John the grandchildren of Samuel & Elizabeth. Perhaps this is what you meant in the lineage you gave? If you DO have a James and John as Samuel & Elizabeth's children, could you please give their birth dates because these are two children that I don't have shown to be brothers to the 5 children listed above as being the offspring of Samuel and Elizabeth. Thank you. Bobbie

I thought you might find this interesting reading. Leslie Quist

Thank you all for the information you sent on my Chase lines. I guess I should have said that William was supposed to have been one of the children of Aquilla Chase of Chesham. The information that I have was collected by my mother (since deceased) and my father (ditto). That is the information up to William, himself. The further back information was speculation and not proven. I will have to look further and elsewhere, I guess. I wish my parents were here to ask about where they got their information. I still have 3 Chase lines, however and when I said the information on the Chase Resource Center was incomplete, I meant that when I looked there, the year dates were given in only 3 digits! Does anyone have the complete dates? Leslie Leslie Quist wrote: > The Chase Resource Center is marvelous, but I found that the dates of > Aquilla Chase and Martha Jelliman's children are incomplete.

The Chase Resource Center is marvelous, but I found that the dates of Aquilla Chase and Martha Jelliman's children are incomplete. Also my ancestor William Chase, who is a son of Aquilla and Martha or Sarah is not listed. Leslie Quist

Hi folks - I've just found a set of IGI entries which just identify the birth of Barbary Chase on 25/2/1778, variously in Middleborough, Plymouth, Mass and/or Freetown, Bristol Mass, but with no other details. Now, one of my ancestors here in the UK was a Barbary Chase, married in 1808 in Bosham, Sussex (where Canute spoke to the sea), but her birth has been totally elusive so far. Whilst it is improbable that these are the same lady, any help in clarifying the Massachusetts connection would be greatly appreciated. Regards Chris Bond

Thanks for all you have done, Keith. Most grateful. Priscilla Chase Marchbanks

Hi, I have a very small line of Chase's in my family tree and if anyone can shed any light on anything at all then please feel free to reply. Colonel William H CHASE married Sarah BOALT and had one child that is known to me. Her name was Cora Blanche Chase born 10 January 1857 in Unadilla, New York, USA. Cora married James Sackett BENEDICT and they had two girls, one Sally Asenath Benedict, b 23 October 1879, and Mary Chase Benedict b 21 December 1881. My connection is through Sally Asenath. I know this isnt very indepth but this is all the information I have on the Chase line and would like to correspond with anyone who has any of the above mentioned persons in they line.

All, I will be relinquishing my role in the Group and in particular the development of the CHASE/CHACE www site. (I have one more up-date of the database to do.). I realise I have said this before but been prevailed upon to continue. To ensure I do not receive the same pressure as previously THIS IS THE LAST MESSAGE FROM THIS EMAIL ADDRESS. I would like to thank all of you who helped me with the www site. I will be in contact with David White re the research at the College of Arms, I wish you all success in the never ending quest of tracing your ancestors, Keith Hume

Looking for the parents of Asa Chase (?1835-?1882 in South Dennis) who was married to Rosanna Crosby (11/2/1835-9/14/1883). Asa and Rosanna had a ddaughter Rebecca (b.02-08-1858; d.01-31-1940) who was married 1st to Heman Wixon and 2nd to Edmund Crosby Lee. I have two sets of parents for Asa: Philip Chase and Betsy Newcomb or Enoch Chase and Data Howland Can anyone help? Thank you Gingia McCabe-Crumb gmccabe@lr.net

I don't know how long it has been since I've posted my name over this listing but thought I'd do it now in case there are any CHASE people out there who have recently joined.

Thank you for all the help and advice I have been getting over this family. (:>) I am going to follow up on it all. Been searching for over 20 yrs. for these CHASE members.

Hi folks, It seems that Tisbury and Martha's Vinyard MA are almost exclusively Aquilla's Chases...or am I wrong ? I have been visiting census, and cemeteries online, and haven't made any connections at all to William's line....(unlike Yarmouth MA where they abound). Is this a reasonable premise ? Derek Chase

I am a descendant of Moses Chase and would like to add my family tree to the CHASE Group. How do I enter my records into GEDCOM format? What is GEDCOM? Is their a special program I need to have set up in my computer to do it? Your information ends with John Chase, son of Josiah & Hannah (Goddard) Chase, child #4 born 3 Jun 1779 in Sutton, Mass died 24 May 1867. John married Roxanna Thompson and their son George Washington Chase was my gg-grandfather who moved to Branch Co., Michigan Thank you for your help. Ann (Van Patten) Johnson
