Derek, I feel that Chipman Chase did not come from Yorkshire, England, but rather he descended from the Chases who lived in Cornwallis, Nova Scotia. Chipman's brother is likely Reuben Chase who married Famicha Bower Kerr, daughter of Ebenezer Kerr and Caroine Lavinia Gesner. In Cumberland County, Nova Scotia, you will find the following marriage record, transcibed by Don Lewis: http://nsgna.ednet.ns.ca/dl/dlfiles.html CHASE REUBEN 67 W UPPER LAKEVILLE SACKVILLE JETHRO ISABEL 1 1 1880 KEN DANICHA B 35 S PARRSBORO PARRSBORO EBENEZER CAROLINE Note: Don Lewis incorrectly transcribed Famicha Kerr's name as "Danicha Ken." This record indicates Reuben's parents were Jethro Chase (1786- ?) and Isabel Unknown, so I have assigned these; parents to Chipman as well. Jethro Chase was the youngest son of Jethro Chase (1746 - ?) and Dorothy "Dolly" Cone of Cornwallis, Nova Scotia. Chipman also had a son Jethro Chase (1854-1911) who married Martha Jane Richardson. Jethro Chase and Dorothy "Dolly" Cone are named in the document "Some of the Descendants of William Chase," compiled by George Walter Chamberlain for John Carroll Chase, Hazen P. Chase, Holyoke, Mass.,1983 : 129. JETHRO5 CHASE (Stephen,4 Joseph,3 William,2 William1), of Cornwallis, N. S., born at Freetown 13 June 1746, died at Cornwallis. He married, 15 Dec. 1768, DOROTHY CONE, daughter of Reuben and Nem[sic] Cone. Children, born at Cornwallis: i. STEPHEN,6 b. in 1769; d. 15 Dec. 1769. ii. STEPHEN, of Cornwallis, b. 22 Nov. 1770; d. about 1840, aged 70 years; m. 7 Jan. 1796 ALICE WOODWORTH, b. 9 Aug. 1776, probably daughter of John and Submit (Newcomb) Wood-worth of King's County, N.

HANNAH, b. and d. 10 Mar. 1778. vii. BENJAMIN, b. 26 Aug. 1780; m. (???). Child: 1. Benjamin,7 living at Sackville, N. B., about 1865. viii. EXPERIENCE (twin), b. 11 Nov. 1782. ix. SAMUEL (twin), b. 11 Nov. 1782. x. DOROTHY, b. 22 Nov. 1783; m. JAMES KINSMAN. xi. JETHRO, b. 12 Nov. 1786. <<<<<<<<<<<< Also notice that Benjamin, the son's of Benjamin( Jethro Jr's brother) was named as living in Sackville in this document. Also five of the granddaughter of Stephen Jr. (Jethro Jr's brother) moved to Sackville: Alice Chase married William Fawcett Jane Sarah Chase married Thomas Wheaton Elizabeth Chase married James Ayer Mary Ann Chase married Bedford Boutenhouse Barnes Rebecca Chase married Barnhill Cahill From documents I have read, the Chases frequently travelled back and forth by boat between Sackville, NB and Cornwallis, NS. Hope this helps, Linda Chase Alberta -----Original Message----- From: Derek Chase [mailto:chasede@nbnet.nb.ca] Sent: Friday, June 24, 2005 5:44 PM To: CHASE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [CHASE-L] Chipman Chase Does anyone know the name Chipman Chase ? and is there any way of discovering his birth about 1820, probably in Yorkshire, ENG? Maybe they had a census near that time. He did come to North America some time after 1820 and died here.
