Jim, Thanks for your timely and documented update. Please consider sending this to the Register itself and as a special note to the Old Colony Historical Society. The October issue each year is considered the Additions & Corrections edition, though they'll also accept it for the new magazine as well. This series of articles on the Chase Family is still THE compiled source on this family. But, let me assure you, you haven't even gotten to the WORST of it! (Some of the most awful proof-reading ever in the Register occurred in setting these articles in type.) The whole thing needs to be redone from scratch by someone. As My Pain/Paine researches weren't materially affected and could be readily corrected, I decided to stay way clear of that project. So, to all researchers: Consider what you see there in print as a clue to what MIGHT be and track down the original records, expanding on them, as Jim has done by using Rounds' Abstracts. Thanks again Jim for making a start on setting that record straight. Robert M. Gerrity YANKEE ANCESTRY P. O.
