>If you got his will, incidentally, you're sitting on a very valuable >document..the re-prise of the will was published in John Carroll Chase's >genealogy "Some Descendants of William of Roxbury etc etc etc ..) > >Derek Well, I hate to bust any bubbles. <G> But the will of [WILLIAM CHASE'S WILL] Plymouth Colony Wills and Inventories "Willam Chase of yarmouth the elder; being aged" made his will 4 May, 1659. Is published and on the Mayflower Descendant Legacy. It seems that the Chase and Baker lineages intertwine according to these documents. There are also numerous vital records of Chase family members from Massachusetts. I printed out a copy of his will and am in the process of reading it. Below is some of what he mentions. NOTE: I have not chnaged any spelling. It is as you see it. He mentions two sons and his wife Mary in his will. a son Benjamine, a son Willam, my wife Mary, and he states- I Doe make my wife Mary aforsaid sole exequitrix .... and Doe appoint my Naighbors Robert Dennis and Richard Tayler tailer overseers of this my last Will" there was no real estate mentioned and the inventory was dated 24 September, 1659. Any comments on this will? I do not know who in the William Chase lineages has it, or if it was copied. As I stated earlier, I just recently was able to make my connection to William Chase. I have not seen any genealogies on his lineages at all and would be interested in knowing the titles of any books out there in reference to his lineages, or any articles which would further my education in regards to my ancestor. Molly, he only mentioned his two sons and his wife Mary. Sorry there were no other names mentioned other than what is above. If you have any further wuestions, let me know. I will try and help if at all possible.
