Oh, well, someday I'll learn not to post an answer late at night without checking all my files. Having now done so, I find John Edward CHASE (son of Obediah CHASE & Minerva Herd MERRITT) m. Parmelia TRIBBLE 27 Jan 1871 in Doniphan Co., KS Frank L. CHASE (the right age to be Louis F., brother of John) m. Nancy J. WOOD 9 Sep 1894 in Doniphan Co., KS Alas. I still don't find John E. CHASE in the 1880 US census for Doniphan Co., so maybe they moved. Hope this is of help to someone. Victoria L. Sullivan vlsullivan@prodigy.net

Forgot to say she was born in York, ME. Her father served as Quartermaster and Paymaster in the Revolutionary Army in 1780. He was a clothier and lived in York, ME. He had twelve children.

I have a Samuel Messenger of Holliston married to Olive Chase on 9 Jun 1801. She was born 29 Jan 1778. Her father's name is Col. Josiah Chase andmother's name is Hannah Grow. If this is the right Olive Chase, I have more information for you.

I am trying to trace the descendants of Olive (CHASE) MESSINGER and her daughter Catherine (MESSINGER) SMITH. I have GROW and BRAGDON connected to the above names, but can't fit the pieces together yet. Can anyone help?

Hi, Lana I can't provide you with any immediate connections, but I do know of some CHASEs who lived in Kansas. My 3g grand aunt was Minerva Herd MERRITT (b. 1831 Grainger Co., TN). Her husband was Obediah CHASE (b. abt 1830 in TN). They had 3 sons - John Edward CHASE (b. 7 Dec 1855 in TN), Joseph T. CHASE (b. Feb 1860 in KS) and (poss.) Louis F. CHASE (b. abt 1864 in KS). I'm unsure where Louis fits in, as Obediah is supposed to have died in the Civil War, and Louis is not mentioned in the papers Minerva filed seeking a pension. He was living with Minerva as a 6-year-old on the 1870 census, Doniphan Co., KS. There was also a daughter Minnie Elizabeth CHASE who married Thomas B. WYKERT in Doniphan Co. 22 Jan 1871 and had 5 children. On the 1880 census for Doniphan Co., the only CHASEs I found were a Miranda CHASE age 42 born in TN and her 15-year-old son Louis born in KS, both of whose parents were born in TN. I think this is Minerva and Louis, but I don't know if the other two sons had died, left the area or what happened to them. This isn't from the Soundex. I have occasional access to an every name indexed 1880 census for Doniphan Co. There is, BTW, a Wichita in Guthrie Co., IA, as well as the better known one in Sedgwick Co., KS. It will be a while until I can get back to the archives to check, but I'll look for the CHASE boys both places next chance I get. If your grandfather was born in IA and then moved to KS, Obediah's sons may not be connected, but I've learned never to overlook the slightest possibility. Good Luck! And let me know if anything sounds the slightest bit familiar. Victoria L.

Hello everyone, I beleive this is my first posting at this sight. I am extremely frustrated and looking for help. My name is Kristina Chase. I am the daughter of Ira Edward Chase b. June 28 1923 d. June 20, 1990. The rest of what I know is family legend and speculation. I have no records to back me up. My grandfather never talked of family, in fact, I don't know where he was born, but the story says somewhere in Illinois. His parents were Bert (possible Albert) Franklin Chase and Ester Lucille (maybe Pearl) Blackmer. Ester is supposedly buried in Rockton, Illinois, near her parents, but I have not been able to confirm this. Bert's parents (again according to family stories) were Franklin Chase and Lillina Goakey Gilkey, with Franklins parents being Peter Chase and Mary Anne Cutchey Cutshaw. If anyone has any information I would be extremely pleased and relieved to find out more about my father's family. I have been searching the web for about three years now and, until only recently, have found almost nothing on the Chase family and absolutley nothing to link me to other Chases on the web. Thank you for whatever help you may be able to provide. Sincerely Kristina Chase disconnected in Illinois

For those of you who count yourselves amongst the descendants of Capt. Job Chase (William,John, William,William 1601/02 England) born 1736 in Yarmouth, Barnstable County, Massachusetts.... I send along this tidbit from 'Shipmasters of Cape Cod' by Henry C. Kittredge, Houghton Mifflin, 1935 as it appeared in the Cape Cod Genealogical Society's Winter 1996 Bulletin Vol. XXII, Number 1, Issue #76... ....'Disastrous though it was, the War of 1812 did not last long enough to ruin vessels so completely as the Revolution had done; and after it was over, business everywhere picked up with extraordinary speed. The fortunes of Job Chase, Jr. of West Harwich, illustrate the matter clearly. From 1800 until about 1840, he was one of the largest owners of coasting vessels on the Cape- a merchant whose name was known from Saco to South America. Business was steady with him from 1805 up to 1812; even in spite of the war, he had a vessel or two at work in 1813 and again in 1815. In the course of the next two years, his fleet began to grow and he began to proper. Furthermore, by dealing in everything from sheep's wool from Nantucket to mahogany logs from San Domingo, Chase contributed as much as any man in his generation to the prosperity of the mid-Cape. Coasting skippers from Orleans on the one hand and Yarmouth on the other applied to him for commands, while Baltimore firms wrote to ask the privilege to act as his agents, and Boston politicians urged him to swing Harwich into supporting Samuel Lothrop for Governor. By 1830 a whole fleet of Chase's vessels were sailing coastwise, almost all of them ringing the changes on the name Hope. There were the Hope's Lady, Hope and Phoebe, and New Hope, all schooners, and all at work between 1806 and 1821. Others of the same period were the Hope, the Hope for Peace, Old Hope, and Hope and Polly. Later, in the twenties and thirties, came the schooners Hope and Susan, Hope for Success, Hope's Delight, Delight in Hope, Hope Mary Ann, Hope and Hannah, Superb Hope, Lovely Hope, Mount Hope, and the brig Lady Hope. But, as if to show that, whatever faith he may have pinned to the name Hope and its varieties, he scorned superstition, Job Chase Jr. carved other names on the quarter boards of three of his vessels- the Leonidas, the Rosebud, and the Amazon. The Chase family founded something very like a maritime dynasty. Old Job Chase, Sr. had started the ball rolling during the last years of the eighteenth century; his son, having carried the business on and greatly expanded it, admitted the third generation into partnership by making his sons captains and joint owners of his best schooners. Two of the boys, Job 3d and Sears Chase were sailing between the West Indies and New York in 1822 and 1823, Sears bringing mahogany from San Domingo in the Lovely Hope. A third son, Jonathan, made regular trips with passengers and freight between Darien, Georgia, and New York in the brig Amelia Strong, in which both he and his father owned shares. A fourth son, Ozias, died on a voyage to the Carolinas; a son-in-law, Isaiah Baker, was a distinguished mackerel-catcher and inventor of the purse seine on the one hand, and a South American trader on the other, always in Chase vessels. Still another of Chase's captains was a nephew, James Chase. Now and then Chase took a flyer in foreign trade. In 1809, Captain Nathan Nickerson took one of the fleet, the schooner Folly, from Baltimore to Lisbon to the tune of $2211 freight money; and some twenty years later, Captain Isaac Kelly went to St. Petersburg, and back by way of Bremen and Tampico, taking on board at Cronstadt 'sixteen measures of Vodky' against the rigors of a North Atlantic crossing. But for the most part Chase depended not on any single long voyage with large profits, but on a multitude of short trips, each yielding a small return. Chase's fleet was, in truth, a fleet of tramps par excellence. Any port where there were cargoes or rumors of cargoes was a magnet for his skippers. Of necessity Chase gave his captains complete discretionary powers in deciding where to go and what to do. Captain Jonathan Small, for example, discouraged at finding freights from Baltimore to Boston only five cents a barrel, dropped down to Wilmington, North Carolina, and picked up a load of lumber for the Barbados. Job Chase, 3d, carried staves and shingles, geese and turkeys, from the Carolinas to Martinique and Guadeloupe and sold molasses in Baltimore on the return trip. Nehemiah Harding was carrying coal and flour from Richmond to Newburyport. Nehemiah Kelley, turning his schooner Leonidas into a passenger carrier for the trip, took a group of young ladies from Havana to New Orleans. Nathan Nickerson, in the meantime, was trying to sell a cargo of salt fish in Boston, and James Oliver was in the Carolinas, loading shingles for St. Thomas with an idea of picking up salt for New York somewhere in the Salt Keys. The beginning of the end of Job Chase's business came when his son Jonathan wrote from New York in 1836, 'I think it is about time to quit owning as you now own...I don't like the management altogether, and there appears to be some jealousy.' The Chase fleet gradually diminished during the following years, and with its passing a lively business faded from Harwich. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

ALL, It is now some time since I asked for help with developing the CHASE/CHACE and in the past this has just been a general request. I have always intended to develop the "Archives" side of the site but did not want to just refer researchers to a site and leave it at that. If this was the case I would simply point them to the Genweb pages for the USA and let them "rummage" around. So I am asking for volunteers to research for references to CHASE/CHACE on the various State and County sites. It has already been established that their are CHASE/CHACE persons in every state of the Union and from rough figures I have calculated there are approximately 120,000 to 100,000 of that name in the US alone without any descendants. I would be more than happy if you each chose a State and concentrated on that and when you find a site of interest describe it in a few lines and add the URL ( WWW address). This job is big as I have found just looking at the MA Genweb site but if some of you took on just ONE State it should not be too difficult. So there you have it.

Does anyone know the connection between the Almy Chase on the William Chase line, born on December 6, 1744, and the Almy Chase who married William Pierce in Newport, RI, on November 3, 1748? The latter Almy is possibly the aunt of the former. Thanks to everyone who does so much work for the rest of us. Hopefully, there will be ways to reciprocate. Dick Yeo Newton MA
