I'm looking for help in tracing my Chase family in Iowa. There daughter married in Cedar Co. Iowa, in 1864. I believe the family came from New York to Iowa. I found Mary Chase buried with her daughter Esther Priscilla Mae Chase Peron in Plymouth County Iowa. Cedar Co is on eastern side of Iowa and Plymouth Co on the western side. James and Esther Chase Peron moved to Plymouth Co after 1880. There is a Chase family in neighboring Woodbury Co IA that is connected to Aquila Chase. One of their sons moved from Woodbury to Decatur Co Iowa, same township, and at approx. same time (1897) William Peron, son of James and Esther, moved to Decatur Co. I suspect there's a connection. Has anyone researched either of these chase families? Listed below is the data as I know it. Generation No. 1 1. James1 Chase died in Cedar County IA ???. He married Mary ?.
