Hello Can anyone confirm the following information: >From "Biographical Record of Bartholomew County, Indiana, Including Biographies of the Governors and Other Representative Citizens of Indiana"; 1904; B. F. Bowen, publisher, pages 44-45, Governor Ira J. CHASE's sketch says, in part, that he was born 7 Dec 1834 in Clarkson, Monroe County, New Jersey (actually it was New York), father was Benjamin but mother not mentioned. Ira's wife was Rhoda J. CASTLE of Cook County, IL. Is this the same person? He was Indiana governor from 1891-1893, nearly 14 months. According to another GEDCOM here, Ira J. CHASE was a son of Benjamion CHASE (born 1807) who in turn was a son of this Benjamin CHASE born 1774 RI. son of Rufus Chase and Sarah Kingsley Thanks for any help that you can give. The above was from an email that I received. Barry
