Hello Barbara, Are you wanting to know whether William Chase was a Pilgrim? If that is your question, the answer is yes and no. William Chase was NOT a Pilgrim in the sense of the particular group of protestants who emigrated from England first to Holland and then to Plymouth in 1620 arriving in the Mayflower. Only those immigrants are referred to as Pilgrims (with a capital P). However, in the general sense of the word, William was somewhat of a pilgrim (lowercase p) in that he travelled in a foreign land - first from England to Massachusetts Bay Colony, then to Scituate and eventually to Yarmouth where he died. Pilgrim from www.m-w.com 1 : one who journeys in foreign lands : WAYFARER 2 : one who travels to a shrine or holy place as a devotee 3 capitalized : one of the English colonists settling at Plymouth in 1620 Jeffrey Chace http://www.chace.demon.nl
