Aquila Chase, b. Conway, England 1618, was the ancestor of all of this name who ever lived in Cornish, New Hampshire. Cornish was the name of the Town which these Chases founded in the New World, the name being taken from their village in Cornwall, England. This information is taken from an old manuscript called History of the Town of Cornish, New Hampshire. My line runs as follows: Aquila Chase, b. 1618 m. Ann Wheeler. He d, 1670; had son Ensign Moses Chase, b. 12-24-1663, m. 1684 Anne Follansbee; had 9 children. Had son Daniel Chase, b. 9-20-1685, m. 1707 Sarah March. He d.1768. They had son, Judge Samuel Chase, b. 9-28-1707, m. Mary Dudley. She was born 2-22-1711, d. 2-12-1789. Had son, Deacon Dudley Chase, b. 8-29-1730, Sutton, MA, m. 8-23-1753 Alice Corbett of Mendon, MA. She was b. 1732 and d. 9-13-1813. They had son Ithamar Chase, b. 9-27-1762, Sutton, MA; m. Janette Ralston, her parents being of Scotland. Ithamar d. 8-1817 in Keene, NH; wife Janette b. 7-26-1773 in Charlestown, MA. They had son Dudley Chase, b. NH or Maine (right on the line in Chatham) 9-14-1801, wife unknown. Dudley Heber was a brother of Salmon Portland Chase. Dudley had a son, Charles B. Chase, ab. Strathum, Rockingham Co., NH c. 3-1848. He married Elizabeth Anne Warner (Werner) Kenyon (her 2nd marriage). They had daughter, Pearl Chase, b. St. Joseph, MO who married Richard Crawford Barrett, Jr. of Southampton Co., VA. They had son, Richard Bradford Barrett, b. 1807 in Nansemond Co., VA; m. Bernice Bailey of Erwin, TN; they had two children, Elizabeth Chase Barrett Chandler and Richard Crawford Barrett. I and my brother are still living. I do have Chase line back in England, but will have to search for that manuscript. This line, up to Salmon Portland Chase's generation is well documented. I have copies of birth and death certificates, wills and accountings of estates, census records, etc. I have also names and spouses of siblings, etc. The Chases descended of Aquila are eligible to join any of several New England Societies. I am seriously engaged at this time in another one of my lines, but if I can help anyone, I will try - at my own pace. bbc
