Hi,Lonnie, I also was a "victim" of a generous researcher and like you have tried to help others but your work has been incredible for this group. Lisa Cleversley got hold of the Chase site owners address and telephone number so I will give hism a call this evening Dennis Partridge is the owner of both the Chase server and the family.com one as well. I am surprised if he has used our data on his site and wants to charge for it.

With all the conversation about people named James Chase, I thought I might as well add this one in case anyone knows anything about him. In my tree I have a Caroline Chase, b. Dec 1842 in Haverhill, MA, married before 1860 John Barnes, died 9 SEP 1907 in Ballston, Saratoga County New York. According to Family Search, her parents are James Chase and Lydia Alby, both born in Massachusetts. Anyone know anything about James and Lydia? I know some about Caroline and John if that interests anyone. I suspicion, but do not yet know of, a connection between Caroline and a Lydia Chase, b. 11 NOV 1789, Haverhill, MA, married Ephraim COLBY, Jr., also of Haverhill, 24 JUL 1806, and having 8 children bet 1806 - 1831. Does anyone know anything about this family? ============================================ Melissa Colby Moore Lawrence, Kansas 785-550-0836 mcm@sunflower.edu Researching: White / Elder in Canada and Scotland Clapp / Colby / Chase - in New England and New York Clapp in England Moore in New York and England Bengtsson in New York and Sweden Bruns / Tank in Illinois, Minnesota, Germany and Denmark

Hi - This is an interesting question, as I have a Stevens/Chase connection, but it does not appear to be the one you listed. The names are Lois Stevens marrying James Eaton, and the time was in the latter 18th or first part of the 19th century. Please forgive my lack of specificity on dates, but I had a house fire and, while my genealogy information is, I believe, intact, it is stored away in a warehouse with everything else until I can move back into my house. Anyway, these were my great- etc.-grandparents. Please let me know if you come across these names in your research. I do suspect a close relationship with one or both of the people you listed, because the location is at least near.

Keith: Your gg grandmother Sarah Chase Hume would have the mtDNA of her mother Elizabeth Chase (James P. Chase's wife). Her son George (your g grandfather) would carry the Y-chromosome DNA of her husband, Peter, as well as her mtDNA. But George, in turn, would pass on only the Y DNA to his son, John, your grandfather, so the Chase link would be "lost" with respect to the mtDNA.

No, it is not a trick question.

I have in my posession a booklet commemorating the 10th anniversary of the Cheery Chase Club for the Blind. I've had the booklet for about 10 years. In the front of the Booklet is black and white photograph of a bunch of blind people wearing their best clothes and of course all holding their white walking canes. The book is full of quotes from these people singing the praises of a Mr. George Everett Chase for bringing meaning back into their lives, etc. The Way I came into posession of the book is that apparently a ms. Yvonne Charlotte Richeleau received a copy of the book around the early 1900's. As far as I can tell she was some sort of a famous model at the time and must have been close friends with Mr and Mrs. Chase. When Ms. Richeleau passed away, a lot of her belongings were left to a family in the hills of Missouri. They passed down those belongings in the family until they sold the house-and EVERYTHING IN IT to my family. I am writing to find out who can give me more information about the Cheery Chase club for the blind, as well as Ms. Richeleau and her relationship to the Chase's as I have many of her other posessions as well, including personal correspondence between her and a Mr. and Mrs. Governor Knight of California.

She has been another dear friend to me. I am hoping that Mr. and Mrs. George Everett Chase of Los Angeles will be at the summer reunion here. I am also deeply in- debted to them, if they had been close rela- tives they could not have been more helpful and kind. They have a very lovely home designed by Mrs. Chase who, before her marriage, was Miss Anne Webber of Brook- line; she is highly gifted artistically, both as a sculptor and painter. And Mr. Chase is equally talented in a literary line. He has traveled extensively and has written several manuscripts about his journeys, one of especial interest to all Chases as it tells about the old manor house in England which has been purchased by a wealthy man who has restored the estate and the chapel to its original condition. Mr. Chase is also extremely philanthropic, he is deeply interested in the work of help- ing the blind and has formed the Cheery Chase Club which is free, where these afflicted people are entertained at frequent meetings by musical talent and lectures on interesting topics, they even have fancy dress dances! It is almost unbelievable what a difference this Club has made in the outlook of many of these blind people. Mr. Chase is almost worshipped by them, and rightly, for bringing so much happiness into their lives. It has been my privilege to be present at some of their meetings and the spirit of optimism and enjoyment brought about by his enthusiastic work is an inspira- tion to those of us who feel we are de- pressed by world conditions yet are enjoying all of our five senses."

Hi Keith, Now that you are very busy with some of your personal things, it seems that everyone has something for you to do. I do have the BMDs for Newbury and area. I have them backed up on several discs, determined not to lose them and the same with the chronicles. I have a file I call "lookup sources" with the Seven Generations book and the chronicles, BMDs, etc in it. With the linked indexes and the search features, it is pretty easy and fast to do lookups. I still remember when I first got into this genealogy business, I had misinformation in my genealogy that had been handed down to me but I was lucky and got good help from Gladys Chase in Connecticut. her husband was a William descendant but she had the Seven Generations book and how good it was to get the right answers to my questions. I hope to pass that feeling along to people who are searching. Stay busy, J Lonnie

Feb. 27, 1786. about 98. (Scrofulous sores.) Born in West Newbury. HANNAH (Berry) CHASE, Wife of Isaac Chase. May 6, 1771. aged about 83. "She lived with her husband above 60 years and hath left of her posterity above 90 children and grand children, and great grand children; the last being 25 children." "She died with a cancer." VANDALISM Next to stealing a corpse is the crime of stealing a grave stone. It's too late now to prosecute the men who stole the stones from ISAAC CHASE'S private yard. He gave an acre near his home on the Blackstone River for a grave yard for his own family and his neighbors. A few years ago, we were trying to locate the resting place of Isaac and his family. We found the lot from his deed and his will. But we could find no grave stones or graves. A lot of cows were feeding on the lot. An old man living nearby said the bodies were there but all the stones were carried off years ago when they were building a new mill on the river. They were "awful short" of flat stones the old man said, so they took all the stones from Mr. Chase's yard and they "came in very handy." Mr. Chase and his family had all died or moved away, and the stones were deliberately stolen and put into the mill. This is not so very strange. A few years ago the writer was trying to get facts concerning some old families in a town in Essex County, Mass. He made no headway, but he found a live man smoking his pipe nearby. Upon inquiry he found that a few years before some enterprising landscape artist took the job to beautify the old cemetery. He laid it out like an amphitheatre, gently rising from the street, putting the taller stones at the rear and making aisles as he pleased. In carrying out this regeneration he plowed up much of the land, and very piously put all the upturned bones into a big dry goods box and sunk the box and covered it in a lower corner of the yard where it would be "safe." Then arranging the stones according to size and color, there were very few bodies anywhere near where they first were buried; but as the native said he was good enough to save most of the stones, but if they were broken or would not fit into his scheme he piled them up nearby in the back part of the yard and there they are. This is simply damnable, but it's true. This is just as bad as it is to steal a corpse. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to CHASE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

The book is full of quotes from these people singing the praises of a Mr. George Everett Chase for bringing meaning back into their lives, etc. The Way I came into posession of the book is that apparently a ms. Yvonne Charlotte Richeleau received a copy of the book around the early 1900's. As far as I can tell she was some sort of a famous model at the time and must have been close friends with Mr and Mrs. Chase. When Ms. Richeleau passed away, a lot of her belongings were left to a family in the hills of Missouri. They passed down those belongings in the family until they sold the house-and EVERYTHING IN IT to my family. I am writing to find out who can give me more information about the Cheery Chase club for the blind, as well as Ms. Richeleau and her relationship to the Chase's as I have many of her other posessions as well, including personal correspondence between her and a Mr. and Mrs. Governor Knight of California. Any information you have will help. I've been searching for 10 years for information about all of this and your email list is the first that I've found of any of this.

She has been another dear friend to me. I am hoping that Mr. and Mrs. George Everett Chase of Los Angeles will be at the summer reunion here. I am also deeply in- debted to them, if they had been close rela- tives they could not have been more helpful and kind. They have a very lovely home designed by Mrs. Chase who, before her marriage, was Miss Anne Webber of Brook- line; she is highly gifted artistically, both as a sculptor and painter. And Mr. Chase is equally talented in a literary line. He has traveled extensively and has written several manuscripts about his journeys, one of especial interest to all Chases as it tells about the old manor house in England which has been purchased by a wealthy man who has restored the estate and the chapel to its original condition. Mr. Chase is also extremely philanthropic, he is deeply interested in the work of help- ing the blind and has formed the Cheery Chase Club which is free, where these afflicted people are entertained at frequent meetings by musical talent and lectures on interesting topics, they even have fancy dress dances! It is almost unbelievable what a difference this Club has made in the outlook of many of these blind people. Mr. Chase is almost worshipped by them, and rightly, for bringing so much happiness into their lives. It has been my privilege to be present at some of their meetings and the spirit of optimism and enjoyment brought about by his enthusiastic work is an inspira- tion to those of us who feel we are de- pressed by world conditions yet are enjoying all of our five senses."

How great! Another cousin....from Henry's line no less! I have been to the farm in Sutton...or what is left of it. I found it with the help of a really nice man from the historical society...which is why we all need to keep donating to historical societies....they are a wonderful resource. Anyway, the current owner of the land donated what is left to the Massachusetts land trust....so it won't be developed. I saw no evidence of any graves....however...the mill is still there just adjacent to the farm. It is a factory now...sitting right on the banks of the Blackstone. The farm is on Chase Rd in Sutton. My grandmother was born in Quichee, VT. She was a descendant of Henry thru his daughter Sarah. One of the areas that the "Seven Generations" is wrong is that it says that Henry only had a daughter. He had 5 children. The cousin who originally sent me the Chase genealogy told me that. She researched it and found the other names. I don't have the names...but he had 5 children. Just because these genealogies were printed...doesn't mean they are 100% accurate. My grandmother had Chase cousins living in and around Hartland, VT. Also, I have my Chase info packed away for the move I am making back East soon...but the info I found in the Worcester library...specifically used the phrase that Hannah Berry died of a "lump in the breast".

Scrofula.....I found an article one time that stated that Scrofula was actually an old name for a form of tuberculosis. Tuberculosis can effect more than just the lungs and it was a major cause of death before drug treatments were developed for it.

Kathy, I see your mention of Vt. Chase relatives. My X4 Grandmother was Susannah Chase born in Montreal in 1803. From some Brooks family info a reference is made to several families of Brooks, Chase,and Harris moving to Canada from Chester, Windsor County, Vermont. We think her father may have been a Walter Chase. Siblings may have included Charolette, John, and Walter, jr. Have you come across this family in looking for your Chase relatives in Vt.? Judi

Interesting note, Dennis Partridge also owns familytree.com the site in question. Interesting.... Keith I do have Mr. Partridge's mailing address if you would like to contact him that way, I also located his phone number (not sure if you want to make a overseas call ) let me know if you want the info.

We found the lot from his deed and his will. But we could find no grave stones or graves. A lot of cows were feeding on the lot. An old man living nearby said the bodies were there but all the stones were carried off years ago when they were building a new mill on the river. They were "awful short" of flat stones the old man said, so they took all the stones from Mr. Chase's yard and they "came in very handy."

Then arranging the stones according to size and color, there were very few bodies anywhere near where they first were buried; but as the native said he was good enough to save most of the stones, but if they were broken or would not fit into his scheme he piled them up nearby in the back part of the yard and there they are.
