Hi, I wanted to pass on that during a recent trip to Massachusetts, I spent some time in Newburyport and Newbury getting photo's of the burial ground where Aquila Chase and Ann Wheeler are buried in unmarked graves...and some photo's around Newburyport where their original houses stood....photo's from Settlers Park in Hampton...where there is a "Chase" rock in the park. If anyone would like copies of these I would be happy to send them to you. Please reply to me off the list....and be patient because it will take me a couple of weeks. I'm heading back to New England tomorrow and won't be back for a week. Also to Lonnie Chase....I will try to go back to Isaac's farm this weekend. It is on Chase Rd on the Sutton/Millbury line. The owners said we could go and have a look around...however according to them...the spot where the old family cemetery was supposed to have been......and they saw no traces of any human remains. The mill is still there...only a matter of a few hundred yards from the farm. It is a factory now and is still working. I went by there a couple of times...but wasn't able to find anyone who could give me permission to search the property. I'll try again. I have photo's of the farm and the mill if you would like them. I also wanted to pass on another interesting sidenote with regard to Acquila's skill as a boatmen. I took a ride out on the Merrimac out of Newburyport. It was mentioned on the ride out ...that the mouth of the Merrimac where it dumps into the Atlantic...is heavily laden with sandbars. I have pictures of those as well. The comment was made that this area has traditionally been kind of dangerous and the site of many boat accidents...and that it requires a very skilled boatmen to navigate it. Thought it was kind of cool to find that out....since Acquila was supposed to have been the first white person the navigate the Merrimac. :0) Kathy Caslin [email protected]
