To: Tora Brown (Chace) As concerns any Chase/Chace living in New Brunswick about 1830-1840...you might want to look up the family of James P. Chase (George Bedford4 Walter3 Benjamin2,William1) The are all part of my family as James was a brother of my great -great,great. great .grandfather Greenfield Chace.. As my research has shown before..James was a Tory and did not want to be in the Revolution and went to News Brunswick and married Betty Douglas on 15 Jan 1766..they had 12 children.. they kept the spelling of their name as Chase My relative Greenfield..all born as Chases..Changed their name to Chace after the Revolution..and this is the spelling on the graves in Freetown.. I think Jeffries Chase is connected to James.. Col Chace Col Chace
I have come across several refernces to Wellington F. Chase Does anyone know who he was? Halifax Citizen, Thursday, April 26, 1866 LIFE SIZE PHOTOGRAPHS. -- W. Chase, No. 159 Hollis Street, opposite Club House, Halifax, has now in use at his Gallery the latest and most approved Solar Camera in the city of Halifax for enlarging all styles of small pictures. Those having Daguerrotypes, Ambrotypes, and Photographs of their deceased friends and relatives can have them enlarged up to life size, and furnished at a lower price than at any other gallery. Mr. C.'s experience in Photography enables him to give the public a more artistic style of work than can be obtained elsewhere in the city. Because of the following, reference, I assume W. Chase was Wellington Chase. He may be connected to W. F. Chase or H. N. Chase who were also living in Halifaz at the time.
