Really sorry - should have dug a little deeper first. I've found her family in the 1850/1860 census, just a few miles from where her future husband is in 1860. Definitely her (tough, because only her intials E. J. are in the 1850 census). Parents were George B. CHASE, b: ca: 1813 in NY, and Ruth (__), b: 1810 in NY. Help with them???
