Hey Dave, I was just in Topeka at the Kansas Historical Society about a month ago doing research. Enoch Chase must be your ancestor. If I remember correctly, Enoch is a descendent of Aquila Chase. There was also another very interesting Chase that I ran across while researching my own family. His name was Dr. James S. Chase and he has a very interesting distinction to his credit. After Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, his body was placed on a funeral train that went through Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Dr. Chase, who at the time was one of the youngest soldiers in the Union Army, was detailed to guard Lincoln's body while the train was depoted there that night. After a funeral service the next day, Chase was again detailed to guard the coffin until the train left Harrisburg. James S. Chase was born 3 July 1848 in Meadeville, Pennsylvania. After being mustered out of the Union Army at the age of 16, he eventually removed to Lyons, Kansas, in 1879, where he practiced medicine. And in 1910 he moved to Topeka where he lived until he died in 1930. Cheers, Jeffrey Chace http://www.chace.demon.nl
