Hi All, Does anyone know if there is any truth to the assertion I have found at some websites that Thomas Chase, husband of Elizabeth Philbrick, had been married earlier to a Martha and with whom he had a few children one of whom being William supposedly born in 1636 or thereabouts? Cheers, Jeffrey -- Jeffrey Chace http://www.chace.demon.nl

Jeffrey, according to the "Seven Generations" book, Thomas was only married once. His wife married two more times after his death. Many Chases were named Thomas and one of them may have slipped into the wrong slot in someone's genealogy. It is not known when Thomas was born but since Aquila was born in 1618 it is thought that Thomas, who was older, might have been born about 1616 or 1617. Lonnie
