I have yet to see any genealogy of William of Yarmouth and Roxbury however, that takes into account the Nova Scotia and New Brunswick families. None that I have seen, including JC Chase's does anything other than a marginal treatment of them. Mostly Loyalists, they split for Canada some time after 1776, most about 1783....... I am interested in one of you who attached a file to a recent post, perhaps you Andrew, on the William descendancy...it runs 38 pages !! The lady entry is # 556 Edward Eddy Chase, who married An EMily Dodge in Boston.. Anyone ??????? Derek Chase
