I am hoping to find descendants of Wayland William Chase, born 1865 who married Ruth (last name unknown). Wayland was the son of John Nelson Chase, born In Amesbury, Mass. in 1833, and Elizabeth Allen. Wayland was a professor at University of Chicago in the early 20th Century, so his offspring may have been born in Chicago, IL. In the early 1900's, my grandfather, Will Simonds, who was Wayland's younger cousin, wrote him a long and colorful account of their Grandfather, John Chase of Nashua. It contains wonderful details about life in Nashua in the 1860's and 70's, and character sketches of John, his wife, Martha, and their offspring. He details where family members were buried and provides the framework for generational research into that branch of the Chase family. I have a copy of that manuscript, and hope that Wayland's descendants have the original; but if they do not, I am happy to share it with them while I compile my Chase family tree.
