Good Morning Dave Received your message. Kind of figured out the date was some kind of in-house error somewhere.. anyway, I've been following this line on the CHASE rootsweb list for awhile since I descend from them at least 3 different ways. You mentioned that William (1688) and his wife Dorcas Baker were cousins . I have Wm's mother as Elizabeth Baker and Dorcas' father as William Baker. Shall I assume they are sibs? Do you have any of this Baker line? I have yet to see it on-line. Any info appreciated. Thanks from the other side of the Globe ;-) Cheryl the in-bred one At 10:58 PM 8/14/98 +1200, you wrote: >Hi mamakitty, I have been watching with interest your mail concerning >William Chase....and I note a certain uncertainty as to which generation >of of William was married to and the son of who.
