Sorry, Carol, I don't--but I would be willing to bet there is a connection. My Peace Chase (see below) has a sister named Susannah Chase. She was b. in 1734 and married Daniiel Wood. Probably she is named after a relative, but I don't have all the children of Stephen Chase's cousins, so I really can't help you. Have you searched for clues online? I think the Chase/Chace genealogy has been pretty well mined. There are actually two early Chase families. There was another Chase immigrant who settled in the Massachussetts Bay Colony, so sometimes the two families are confused. I'll send you the email of someone who might be able to help off list in another email.
