I am receiving mixed messages on the mother's of Wm Chase, Jr's children. I have heard that he had eight children, and it is believed that four were by his first wife and four were by his second wife. There are conflicting reports as to which children went with which marriage. Is there anyone who, as accurately as possible, can tell which children were born of the first marriage and which were by the second? I have been told that Abraham, my father's 7th great grandfather, was the son of wife no. 1 and then told that he was by wife no. 2. Could someone give the birth order of the children, and if there is any validity, however small, that the mothers were Sarah or Abigail Hale as 1st wife, and Elizabeth Holden, as 2nd wife. I have read "Some of the Descendants of William Chase of Yarmouth" and would like to know who I should be trying to find as mother of Abraham Chase. Thanks for any assistance. Holly M.
