I have some very contradictory information on Aquila Chase, who married Ann Wheeler. For instance, I have his birthdate as 9 Apr 1626 At Hundrich Parish, B. Chesham, England and also his christening date as 9 Apr 1626 at St. Nicholas, Chesham, B. England. Is this a contradiction or not? His death date, I have as 27 Dec 1670 at Newbury , Essex, MA and his burial date as 29 Aug 1670 at Oldtown Cem., Newbury, E, MA. As you see, I have him buried before he died! An impossiblity. Can anyone clear this one up for me? Does anyone have a marriage date for Aquila and Ann? All I have is about 1644 at Newbury, Essex, MA. I am descended from Aquila's son John and his second wife Lydia Challis thru their son Jacob. Does anyone have a definite birthdate for him and where should I look to find it? The information I have is from the Family History Center and is obviously in error. His birthdate is given as 1690, his death date as 1754, that's good, but the marriage date is given as to Elizabeth Bond 23 May 1677. Another imposiblity. Who did he marry and when? Does anyone know? I hope someone can resolve my problems as the frustration is getting to me!
