I have just read all the information you sent on the family homesite and family of 'Old' Thomas Chase, and was excited to learn so much about that side of my family. My father's line goes back to the Chases. His 4th great grandfather married Rebecca Chase, daughter of Nathan Chase, 5th great grandson of 'Old' Thomas Chase, and it is really interesting to find out so much about your history. I have a possible last name for Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Chase. I don't have the source for it, but was told her name was Elizabeth Bowchiew. If you have anything to validate this I would appreciate hearing from you. I also have Thomas's parents as Matthew Chase and Elizabeth Bould, his grandparents as John Chase and Alice Harding, and his great grandfather as Thomas Chase. Again I can't document this so if you can give me some validation that this is correct or not please let me know. As your correspondence noted, the Chase name could be traced back to the time of William the Conquerer. I was wondering if anyone has any information on the line at that time period, and whether it can be validated. Any information on this line would be gratefully appreciated. Holly M.
