Ok, here goes! The father of John Chase who married Elizabeth Baker in 1674/1675 was William Chase Jr. b. 15 Jun 1621 Rogate Parish, Sussex, England d. 27 Feb 1685 Yarmouth, Barnstable, MA m. (1)abt 1640 to Sarah Abigail Hale (2) Elizabeth Holder abt 1653. There were several children: William, Jacob, John b. 16 Apr 1649, (which makes him the son of the first wife.), Elizabeth, Joseph, Abraham, Benjamin, Samuel, Elizabeth, Joseph. The dates I have for most of the children are speculative on my part, so I didn't include them. I have no way of telling which children went with which wife. William Jr's father was William Chase b. 20 Nov 1597 at Wivenhoe, Essex, England. d. 4 May 1659 At Yarmouth, Barnstable, MA m. Mary Townley before 1621. I don't have a definite date. Does anyone out there have a date for their marriage? Their children were William Chase (of course) Mary Chase b. 15 May 1637(married Peleg Slade), Benjamin Chase b. 28 Apr 1639 (m. Phillipa Sherman) I have seen someone that says William's father was Benjamin Chase and Helen Harvie and someone else that says that Benjamin's father was William and mother Mary Hammond. These I haven't received any sources for and am very interested to find out more about them. Leslie Quist frogg wrote: > Yes Leslie, I would be interested.
