Good evening fellow rooters,
I would just like to say I am so very pleased to see all these
queries coming across about the Chase lines. I have not yet been able to
make a connection from mine to any which have been listed. But, you can sure
bet I am trying. :>)
Keep the posts coming.
Thank you,
Remember "The Truth Is Out There"

I've been lurking on the Chase list for some time, hoping to see
something about my line. With all the recent discussion about the "three
brothers" (William, Aquilla, Thomas) coming to America, I thought my
line would be of interest.
I descend from Samuel Chase, b. abt 1775-80, place unknown, d. abt.
1810, St. David, New Brunswick, Canada.
In 1977, Guy B. Chase published a book entitled "Descendants of Samuel
Chase. There it is stated that little is known about the origin or
ancestry of Samuel prior to his arrival in Canada. In 1810, when he
petitioned for land in Charlotte Co., NB, he was described as "a native
of U.S.A." He apparently moved to Canada with several thousand other
Loyalists. He was married to Elizabeth Moore, d. of William Moore and
Hannah Livingstone, both of old New England stock, descendants of
Mayflower pass., etc. The book suggests that both descendants and
professional genealogists have "failed to determine what, if any,
relationship existed between Samuel Chase and the numerous descendants
of Aquila and Thomas Chase in New England."
I have spent numerous hours on this trail, and I too have failed to find
any trace of this Samuel in the U.S.A.
Keep an eye out for any Samuels around 1775-1800 in New England.

I, too, have heard of this Lawrence-Townley story but still do not believe
that William Chase was related to the Aquila Chase line. In going over my
notes I did find the following which seems to indicate that William Chase was
not related to Aquila Chase.
Aquila, son of Richard and Joan (BISHOP) CHASE was baptized 14 August 1580
Welsden, Middlesex, England. The unique name of Aquila is found nowhere else
in England in connection with the name CHASE, which makes it reasonably
certain that this Aquila was the ancestor of the American family. Tradition
says his wife was named Sarah. Record is found of two sons: Thomas and
Aquila CHASE. Some authorities intimate that Thomas and Aquila were employed
by their uncle, Thomas CHASE, who was part owner of the ship "John and
Francis" and thus became navigators and found their way to America. This
theory is supported by the fact that Aquila CHASE was granted a home lot and
six acres of marsh in Newbury, MA "on condition that he go to sea and do
service in the Towne, with a boat for four years."
Aquila (son of above Aquila) CHASE married Ann WHEELER and had Sarah, Ann,
Priscilla, Mary, Aquila, Thomas, John, Elizabeth, Ruth, Daniel and Moses.
My opinion, for what it's worth, is that there is absolutely no connection to
the Lawrence-Townley estate (if it ever existed) through our William CHASE.
I'm also wondering if that's why some people are putting down Mary TOWNLEY as
the wife of William CHASE.
Thanks for listening.
Joan Gerrits
Searching for ancestry of Freedom Chase b. 1799 Washington Co., NY, d. 1868
in Warrensburg NY. He married Ann Latham abt 1821. Suspect he descends from
William Chase rather than Aquilla.

I've recently been in touch with John Banes (not sure if he's on this
list), and he had some interesting clues as to the origins of William Chase.

I just found reference to some newspaper clippings from a scrapbook
collected by Russell M. Ormsbee(1808-1892). I am sending you the
information as I got it from a book passed down by my grandfather in 1957.
This would seem to indicate that there were four brothers, of which three
came to America, and one stayed in England. And the father was Robert,
rather than Aquila & Martha (Jelliman) Chase
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
RUSSELL M. ORMSBEE SCRAP BOOK
This scrap book is a collection of newspaper clippings, most of which were
written by Russell M. Ormsbee for the "Saratogian" published at Saratoga
Springs, N.Y. Some family items were from other newspapers. This book has
been preserved by the Roy Ormsbee family of Porter Corners, Saratoga Co.,
N.Y. and copied by me July 1959.
The notes I took are concerned only with the Ormsbee and associated
families. I numbered them for convienience of reference.
14. From a Newton, Kansas paper, Nov. 6, 1882. Mrs Theodore Gates of this
City received notice that the British Government had decided to pay to the
legal heirs of the Lawrence-Townsley estate their share. The estate
amounts to 800 million in money and 400,000 acres of land in City and
Village property. The estate was inherited by 4 brothers of the Chase
Family. Three came to this country before the Rev. War; William, Aquilla,
and Thomas. Mrs. Gates is a grand daughter of Thomas. (Note: our Chases
are descended from William) (See Chase Family)
33. 1889 In an article by R.M. Ormsbee about the Longevity of some of the
families of Greenfield, he says his own mother is from the Chase family
whose last representative in England was Mary Chase-Townsley and first
representative in America was William Chase who settled at Yarmouth, Mass.
in 1630.
37. St. Louis, Mo. Dec. 2, 1885. The Chase-Townsley estate in England
accumulated by Sir Richard Townsley reverted to the Crown when the Owner
was executed for high treason. Later it was transfered to Robert Chase the
nearest living relative. Robert Chase had 4 sons. Three came to America
prior to the transfer of the estate to their father. (See item 14) On the
death of the father, Robert, the estate reverted to his son Robert. The
sons in America were never notified, and on the death of the son Robert,
it again reverted to the Crown. A long list of heirs appointed a
Commission to try and secure the estate, For further reference on this
matter see, "The Lawrence Chase-Townsley Estate, The Mystery Solved" by
Frank Alden Hill (1888)
End quote.
I was able to locate a copy of "The Lawrence Chase-Townsley Estate, The
Mystery Solved" at the Sutro library in San Francisco. I only had time to
peruse the book, and it didn't seem to have any evidence re: William Chase
except to say that they found no connection. Has anyone else researched
this possibility?

I am searching for anyone having information on Alice CHASE, b. 1836,
married Isaac NELSON, b. 1834, believed to be in England. They had a
son named Frank NELSON, born 17 Apr 1860 in Boston, Suffolk, MA,
d. 19 Aug 1943 in Kennewick, Benton, WA.
Little is known about Frank NELSON's origins. The family story is that
he ran away from home with another boy from his Catholic school, because
his parents wanted him to become a priest. He went to Nevada, where he
got scarlett fever, and he lost his hair, his suitcase and his ID. He
then went to Cokeville, WY, where he met and married Sarah Wheelock. He
never spoke much about his family, but my husband's grandmother, who
married his son, Loyd Wheedon NELSON, indicates Frank NELSON always had
an English accent, and he indicated his mother's name was Alice CHASE.
If anyone knows anything about this family, I would appreciate contact.
