Yes. I just sent them back.
I borrowed them from NEHGS in Boston, and discovered there was far more than I
could assimilate in 2 weeks...especially since I had also ordered in the 7
generations of Aquilla and THomas (600 pages) !!
The Chase Chronicle was a newsletter concerning (surprise) the Chase Chace
family of which there was quite an active group apparently in the early
1900's////. genealogies, news items, little stories and letters, all
contributed to an informational bonanza. I think you can purchase
reproductions from NEHGS.

While channel surfing today I ran across a televised auction. They were
auctioning off a document from the late 1700's signed by George Washington and
Thomas Jefferson. It was a "passport" which gave one Rueben Chase and his
boat "The Betsy" permission to travel with a shipment of coffee to England.
The document went for $13K, due to the Washington and Jefferson signatures.
No further mention was made of this Rueben Chase.
I have a Rueben Chase ancestory who married one Hannah Estey but I think he
would have been too young at this time, and can't make an immediate
connection.
I hope this is useful to someone. Please let me know if you know who this
captain Rueben is.

Here is my missing link. I hope someone can help. Edward Chase, birthplace
and parents unknown; purported to be of the Aquila line; born c.1793, last
known alive at age 78 in 1871 in correspondence to his son, Edwin, from
Oroville, Butte County, CA where he held title to or an interest in three gold
mines; Edward's wife unknown. Two known children: (1) Edwin Wilson Chase
born (by repute) in Maine c.1824, took three Masonic degrees from Melody Lodge
No. 2, Platteville, WI on 28 March 1850, married Ann Eliza Blackwell of the
Virginia Blackwells (this puzzles me - he didn't marry until age 49; could
this be his second marriage?) in New Orleans 18 December 1869, fathered two
sons, Edward E. Chase and Joseph Carter Chase (my paternal grandfather), left
his family behind in New Orleans to either join his father, Edward, in Butte
County to take over administration of the holdings there as his elderly father
had asked, and/or perhaps to El Paso, TX, or to seek copper in NM or AZ, died
in Globe City, AZ Territory 8 March 1893, apparently destitute; and (2)
Edward Carter Chase, birthdate and birthplace unknown, died by indian attack
together with his wife (name unknown), nine-year-old son and five-year-old
daughter near Fort Conche, TX as he returned from the US with funds to build a
hotel in Santa Rosalia, Mexico where he owned property containing hot springs.
Because of nonpayment of several hundred dollars still owed by Chase, a
judgment was secured by one Dona Trinidad Beca and the property reverted back
to her. I have no dates for these events. ( A seventeen-year-old daughter
was traveling with the family and taken by the indian raiders and never heard
from/about again; I wonder if she was the daughter of a previous marriage of
either Edward's or his wife's.)
My senior Edward Chase had one relative known to me - a sister or perhaps a
sister-in-law - who resided in Logan City (present-day Sauk County,
Loganville?) WI who wrote to my grandfather's brother, Edward E. Chase, on 2
April 1896 in response to correspondence of his dated 22 March 1896. She
writes to "my dear nephew" and signs herself, "N. C. Lane" and was at that
time "past seventy-four". [N. Chase? Lane? Probably not. Women didn't
retain their maiden names in those days.] She was in possession of records,
assembled by "her genealogist" which took the family back to Aquila but she
refused to trust the material to the mail of that time, saying "I am very
choice of this record" and mention was made about how to accomplish getting
copies done. Thus, my reference to our line, via Edward, having been
purported to descend from Aquila.
I also have one other small nugget (no pun intended!) which I hope may help
some California Chases to help me. I have correspondence from one "Maud" (no
last name), addressed to her "Dear Cousin Edward" in New Orleans - he at that
time was age 22 and a vet of the Spanish-American War - dated 4 December 1893
at Oroville, Butte County, CA. This letter is clearly a love letter disguised
as a friendly response to a letter of his. I suspect that she was very
smitten with him, and possibly was somewhat younger based upon the contents of
the letter. I wonder how they met, unless his father, Edwin Wilson Chase,
brought his son(s) out to Oroville to visit the claims at some point.
I hope that something here will strike a chord with one of you on the list. I
sure hope so! Thanks for anything that you have or may have to suggest as to
how I should proceed.

Holly,
I enjoyed the posts from you and NEELISGAL. I believe my CHASE line to
be (1) William
the immigrant, (2) William, (3) Abraham, (4) Phineas, (5) Nathan, (6)
Isabel. Isabel had a sister named Rebecca, but I assume the Nathan and
Rebecca you mentioned are a different line. Correct ?

I do not have the stone, but I do have a photocopy of it made from a
photograph. From correspondence dated 3/29/71 to my uncle, John Churchill
Chase of New Orleans, from one Bridie Tighe, probably the daughter of a friend
or colleague, who was in school in Broughton, MA, I share the following:
"Dear Mr. Chase . . . I talked to a delightful gentleman (gentleman is the
only way to describe him) at the New England Historical Genealogical Society.
He's very interested in genealogy and very interested in helping us. He said
that the plaques are in storage but had a photograph of the Aquila Chase
plaque. He xeroxed it and I'm sending it on to you. . . . If you would like a
better reprint, Mr. Dean could arrange for a photographer to photograph the
picture."
She went to tell that a "print" (rubbing?) of the plaque could be arranged for
$35-50 but the tablet would have to be taken out of storage. So, in 1971, it
was still at the NEHGH.
The copy is entirely legible. The image measures 5x8 inches bears what
appears to be a bas relief of a sailing ship (don't ask me what kind,
please!) at the top and looks something like this:
Aquila Chase
Mariner
Hampton NH 1640
Newbury Mass 1646
By old repute the first Pilot
at the mouth of the Merrimack River, Erected by his
descendant John Carroll Chase, 1924.

Is there anyone who has access to records for any of the cemeteries in
Stuyvesant, Columbia County, NY? I am looking for a record of JOSEPH
CHASE or CHACE. He lived in Stuyvesant in 1830 and 1840. I will gladly
pay someone for their time and trouble,or swap info I have courtesy our
local FHC--extensive WISCONSIN info,EMMIGRATION records, GERMAN and
SCOTTISH and many other records, NY...
Thank you so much!

Please contact all of us if you know where the commemorative stone is. I
know it was created by John Carroll Chase, and I had looked forward to seeing
it sometime. Please help!
Hi,Everyone,
I am fairly new to this Group and this is my first posting t so please excuse
me if I go over old ground.
I have a reference to William CHASE, born 15 June 1621 at
Rogate,Sussex,England.
Two sources are given
1)NEHGR V87: 258, Dr. John B. CHACE
2) CHASE,Gladys,Marie "William Chase of Yarmouth" 1995
I have checked the Parish Register for Rogate and there is no reference to a
Chase 5 years either side of that date. I also checked for the period around
1600 in search of his father without a positive result.
I do realise that as non-conformists William's parents may not have had him
baptised in the Church of England but the West Sussex Records Office has no
knowledge of a non conformist organisation in the area.
I also am aware that there was a "pocket" of CHASE families in the Sussex area
To cast further doubt on this information William's parents are shown as
William Chase and Mary TOWNLEY and I have some doubt as to whether this
"link" was made at the time when every "Chase" family member was trying to
establish blood lines to the TOWNLEYs
Is there anyone in the Group who could possibly check the 2 sources given
above to see if there is any further information?
Thanks,

Resending message which I previously composed a few days ago in response to
Liz; have just learned from Lonnie how to post to the list correctly. Hope
you all get this. Lonnie, this newcomer's mentor (!), please let me know if
you get this ASAP so I can relax about this!
I have just read all the information you sent on the family homesite and
family of 'Old' Thomas Chase, and was excited to learn so much about
that side of my family. My father's line goes back to the Chases. His
4th great grandfather married Rebecca Chase, daughter of Nathan Chase,
5th great grandson of 'Old' Thomas Chase, and it is really interesting
to find out so much about your history. I have a possible last name for
Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Chase. I don't have the source for it, but
was told her name was Elizabeth Bowchiew. If you have anything to
validate this I would appreciate hearing from you. I also have Thomas's
parents as Matthew Chase and Elizabeth Bould, his grandparents as John
Chase and Alice Harding, and his great grandfather as Thomas Chase.
Again I can't document this so if you can give me some validation that
this is correct or not please let me know.
As your correspondence noted, the Chase name could be traced back to the
time of William the Conquerer. I was wondering if anyone has any
information on the line at that time period, and whether it can be
validated. Any information on this line would be gratefully
appreciated.

Dear Mr. Chase,
Thank you for your inquiry regarding the Chase Stone. It was in our
possession at one time, but because of its size and load-bearing our
building couldn't accommodate it and according to Scott Barltey in our
Fine Arts Department, it was evidently given to another Chase descendant
in 1988 or 1989.
I'm sorry that we're unable to locate the piece for you. If you have
any other questions, please feel free to call on me.
Sincerely
Linda Skinner Austin
I am the last (female) in a line of Chases directly descended on
paternal side from Aquila. I just found this listserve but have been
commuicating since last year with Hoisingtons (married name) on
similar listserve.
I will be running my list of Chases to start adding to, and sharing,
info on our trees ( I use Family Tree Maker). My family are all
Vermonters (5 generations) and Massachusetts/Great Bay Colony
Pilgrims. Related names are Hebb, Jackman, Sallies, Smith,
Abbott/Abbot, Eastman, Bowles, Miller.

I got quite a laught out of a story appearing in THE CHASE CHRONICLE in which
J. Montgomery Seaver, President of the American Historical-Genealogical
Society faces a fraud order by the superintendent of mails, Washington DC
Apparently he'd been taking pages from the phone book, writing to the people
(a mass mailing ! gasp!) and selling genealogies purporting to go back to
William the Conquerer !!!!
(Vol 20 Jan - Apr 1930 p-31)
Sounds familiar doesn't it ??? or better yet "An oldie but a goodie !"

Hello from a new subscriber in New Zealand.
I am interested in the name CHASE from the above district.
Is anyone else?
Cheers Betty
bettyd(a)voyager.co.nz.
I am trying to track some Chaces/Chases who relocated to Indiana from NY
at some point in the 1800's (between 1800-1830?).
Can you give me a little more info on your Marcia Chace? Especially her
husband's name, a b.d., b.p., children? I can check my notes then to
see what I might have.
In case you haven't seen it yet, the USGenWeb site for Indiana has a
number of searchable databases for censuses, land and marriage records.
I have found lots of Chases (search on both spellings!) in these
databases, including some in Boone County.
Thanks!

Hi Chase researchers,
I have been looking for Sarah Chase for several years now, without much
luck. All I know is that she was born about 1788, married William Wingate, I
think in Queen Anne's County, Maryland, before 1805, the year her first
child was born. She moved to Boone County, KY about 1814 and died there in
1852. On the 1850 census, she gave her birthplace as Maryland. I can find no
trace of her, or husband William Wingate, in Maryland.
Would someone please give me some suggestions as to where to look? I will be
going to my local (very small) FHC soon.
Thanks,
Suzanne Russell
