Hello list, I have found that my line of Noyes connects to the Chase line when Phebe Chase, daughter of Abraham Chase, married Slyvanus Noyes. I found a history of this Chase line in a New Hampshire history and I believe Slyvanus is linked to this line. I have found this line on both rootsweb and the L.D.S. site but in all, I find the same problem and I'm hoping someone out there can solve it for me. I have Matthew who married Elizabeth Bould their son, Richard, married Mary Roberts Their fourth son was Aquila with only a first name for his wife, which is Sara. ( The histories I've found on line show a Benjamin instead of Aquila. Are they one and the same? ) This New Hampshire history said Thomas was believed to be Aquila's oldest son . Thomas was born in England around 1615 and Married Elizabeth Philbrick. Thomas and Elizabeth had the following sons: Thomas, Joseph, James, Isaac, Abraham. Now my problem. In all the family histories I've found they show that James, third son of Thomas and Elizabeth, married Lydia Challis. The New Hampshire history states that James married Elizabeth Green, daughter of Henry Green and they had four daughters and no sons. Also, the family histories I've found show that Thomas died in 1652. They show James born on Nov. 2, 1654. If those dates are correct, Thomas could not be the father of this James. The Abraham Chase I'm researching is shown to be the son of James and Lydia. I can't connect James to Thomas due to the time between Thomas' death and James' birth. Please help someone Ann

Elizabeth Philbrick was in deed the wife of Thomas Chase, brother of Aquila, who shows up in the records of Hampton, MBC (now New Hampshire) about 1639. However, everything else that you have apparently read about who Thomas's parents might or might or might not be, or from where he emigrated when he (and his brother) came to America, is without any factual foundation (aka wishful thinking or pure speculation). The fact is that no documentation of the brothers' ancestry has ever been found on either side of the Atlantic. Due to the fact that the name Aquila does occur in the Chesham, England Chase line, the presumption is that the Hampton Aquila (and his brother) most likely have some connection to them, but what that connection might be (if there really is one) remains a mystery despite the best efforts of many genealogists to find it.
