Ann, It seems you have been through the quagmire of misinformation on the internet. Aquila (1618-1670) and Thomas Chase (birth date unknown- died 1652) who married Elizabeth Philbrick, were brothers who came to America in 1639, No documentation has been found to say where the brothers came from but assumptions abound on the internet. These two were the first Chases in America in these two lines. It appears that you have a mix of genealogy from both lines and some confusion of persons with the same name. Lydia Challis married John Chase, (1655-1739),son of Aquila, (1618-1670.) James Chase, (1649-1703,) son of Thomas ( -1652,) did indeed marry Elizabeth Green. The Abraham you are researching (I think) is the son of John Chase and Lydia Challis ABRAHAM3 CHASE (John2, Aquila1), born in Newbury, about 1694; died in Plaistow, N. H., shortly before 28 Nov. 1770. He married (1) in Newbury, 16 Nov. 1716, RUTH MORSE, daughter of Benjamin Jr. and Susannah (Merrill) Morse, born in Haverhill, 25 Sept. 1694; died before 1733. He married (2) ABIGAIL ————. He married (3) in Amesbury, 26 Nov. 1746, ELIZABETH (DAVIS) COLBY, the mother of his three youngest children, widow of Elijah Colby and daughter of Joseph and Jemima (Eastman) Davis, born 23 Sept. 1711. He was living in what is now West Newbury in 1729 near Morse's Lane. He was one of the inhabitants of Haverhill whose estates fell on the north side of the province line in New Hampshire, in 1741. (Chase's History of Haverhill, 311). Apparently he then lived in the First Parish of Haverhill. Plaistow, originally a part of Haverhill, was set off as a separate parish 28 Feb. 1749. His eight eldest children were born in Newbury and his three youngest in Plaistow, N. H. He made his will 9 Dec. 1761, which was proved 28 Nov. 1770. In it he mentions his grandchildren Ruth Eastman and William Eastman. children of Ruth and William Eastman, and his daughters Ruth Chase and Prudence, and makes his sons Abraham and Ezra Chase executors. Some of his children were baptized in the Second Church of Newbury. Children by first wife, born in Newbury: SUSANNA,4 b. 1 Sept. 1717; m. in Haverhill 30 Sept. 1735 to Zachariah Johnson.
