Additional information on Rhoda Jane Castle. Her husband was Ira Joy Chase born 07 DEC
1834 in NY. They were married 24 Mar 1859 probably in Cook County, IL. He was the 21st
governor of Indiana 1891-1893. They had 5 children: (1) Flora Chase born abt 1860 (2)
Emma D. Chase born abt. 1865 (3) Benjamin C. Chase born abt. 1866 (4) Electa H. Chase born
abt. 1870 and (5) Frank E. Chase born abt 1877. Rhoda had a sister named Charlotte born
abt. 1846. Trying to find out the parents names of Rhoda and her relationship to John
Russell born 1793 in VT. I have a copy of a letter he wrote to her in 1862 in Cook
County, IL in which he refers to her as his grand daughter. Thank you for any help you
can give me.
