Note from the Chase Chronicles - April 1920.
IS THE THOMAS LINE NEARLY EXTINCT?
"In the last number of the chronicle, in view of the fact that, at the
mid-winter reunion of our association the descendants of Thomas Chase there
present, appeared to be the Editor and his sister, the above question was
raised and every reader who is descended from the original Thomas Chase was
asked to send to the Editor a postal card giving his or her name and
address.
To this request, the Editor has received only two responses, one from Hon.
Emory A. Chase of Catskill, N.Y., a long time member of our association, and
the other from Mrs. Helen Chase Langlands of Brookline, Mass., a recent
addition to our membership, and both, singularly enough, are descendants of
Isaac Chase, the third child of Thomas and Elizabeth (Philbrick) Chase, and
his second wife, Mary Tilton of Martha's Vineyard.
Judge Chase traces his ancestry through Joseph Chase, the seventh child of
Isaac and Mary, and Mrs. Langlands traces her's through Alexander Chase, a
descendant of Isaac and Mary, who lived in Nantucket.
The Editor and his sister are also descendants of Isaac and Mary, through
one James Chase who also lived at Nantucket.
But are these all the descendants of Thomas who are now living? Have only
the descendants of Isaac and Mary Tilton survived? Thomas had other sons and
grandsons. Have these no Chase descendants?
There must be others, and the Editor renews his request that each person who
can trace his or her ancestry back to the original Thomas Chase, will send
him a postal card, giving his or her name and address".
(When this was written, April 1920, Alfred Bunker was temporary editor of
the chronicle, he repeated the question in the next issue but by the
following issue, a new editor had filled the position and if the result was
ever printed, I have not found it yet.)

Is anyone researching the Chase family in Rhode Island? I am trying to
find the parents of Almy Chase. She married Thomas Pierce in Newport in
Trinity Church in Nov. 1748. They removed to Nova Scotia about 1762. I
have no other information on her. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
I accidentally found a good interactive site for anyone researching
CHASE/CHACE in Michigan for deaths occurring between 1867 and 1882 (& new
ones being added regularly). It is the Michigan Genealogical Death Indexing
System located at:
http://www.mdch.state.mi.us/PHA/OSR/gendis/index.htm
I have no CHASE ancestors in Michigan but there are a goodly number listed.
Rex
I also have a Nelson Chase, born August 28, 1804 in Ontario County, NY.
He married Clarinda Chase (b. September 17, 1813) on January 4, 1832. He
died December 20, 1889 and was buried in Sinclairville, NY.
He was the son of Stephen Chase b. Jan. 15, 1775 in Dartsmouth, Mass; d.
July 1843 in Chautauqua County NY.
and Bethia Mathewson b. March 11, 1775; d. 1841.
Anyone with more information on this branch of Chases please contact me.
Note from the Chase Chronicles - January, 1916
USED RAZORS ON THE PIG
Salmon P. Chase, as a youngster, did good job, but it failed to
meet appreciation.
"Salmon P. Chase, governor of Ohio, senator of the United States, secretary
of the United States treasury, and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the
United States, once had an encounter with a pig that is worth telling.
When a boy he attended a private boarding school kept by his uncle, the
Episcopal Bishop of Ohio. He did the chores for his uncle during the school
term, and worked on the farm during the Summer. One day his uncle told his
nephew that he should kill and dress a pig at the close of the school that
day.
With no little difficulty, the boy caught the pig and killed it. And now the
question was how to get the bristles off. He had heard of farmers scalding
hogs, so he soused the pig into a barrel of hot water. He either held the
pig in the water too long, or did not have it hot enough, for in spite of
all his scraping, the bristles would not come off. He then thought of his
uncle's razors, and getting them, he shaved the pig from nose to tail.
When the bishop returned, he congratulated his nephew on the splendid
appearance of the pork. But when he tried to shave the next day, he
discovered that the razors would not work. What he said and did we may
imagine, but we do not know.
Chief Justice Chase was a very dignified man. His private secretary, Mr.
Didier, says that he had little humor in his composition. President Lincoln
once related the foregoing story at a meeting of the cabinet, but Mr. Chase
did not like it very well, and the president never referred to it again".

(Salmon's uncle was Bishop Philander Chase)

JC Downing asked on Oct 27th for any info on Preserved Chase who married
Rhoda Rogers on 6 January 1799..
I show a Preserved Chase b. at Dartmouth 20 August 1779. Preserved was the
first child born of Ebenezer Chase and Mary Fitch (b. @ Swansea 16 January
1753, d. @ Dartmouth 16 Dec 1843, aged 90 years, 10 months, daughter of
William and Hannah Fitch.) Ebenezer and Mary married at Swansea 20
September 1778.
Ebenezer was the third child of Ebenezer, born at Swansea 30 April, 1727
and Martha Robinson - daughter of William and Martha (Bourne) Robinson.
This information is taken from Some of the Descendants of William Chase of
Roxbury and Yarmouth, Mass. Ebenezer is listed as #122, son of Job,
Joseph, William, William.
Unfortunately, the information stops with Preserved- no marriage or death
date listed, although the siblings have death dates or marriage partners
listed. But, the potential is there with the birthdate and birthplace
being a fit.
(Just to encourage you, I found my Joseph Chase, who was the grandson of
Joseph Chase- #100- listed with no death dates or marriage partners, but I
was able to link him to my great, great grandfather - his son, James Chace
{yes, they had changed the spelling by that generation}.)
Good luck,
Judy Chace Needham
After being off for a month, I am now back on the list. For some reason
I was removed from the list by returned mail, problems with my ISP. Now
that I am getting settled down after marriage, I can take care of
problems immediately without having a backlog of mail to deal with.

Since the name Moses is so popular in the Chase family, I am trying to find
"my Moses" and thus far have had little success. He was born in Canaan, New
Hampshire before 1843. He married a Louisa ------ born in Hopkinton ,New
Hampshire, I suspect born before 1845.
. They had at least one child, Mary L.Chase, born after 1865in Hopkinton,
New Hampshire. If anyone has information about this couple would you please
let me know. This couple are my great-grand parents on my dads maternal
line. My grandparents gave their children zilch for information and it has
been like pulling teeth to get this far,
Thanks Carla

Note from the Chase Chronicles.
THE AQUILA CHASE GENEALOGY
"A genealogy of the descendants of Aquila Chase has been talked about for
many years, but, as Mark Twain said about the weather, "nobody did anything
about it".
"Nearly two years ago the writer began in earnest the work of compilation
and since then the full time of one person and part time of another has been
devoted to the work. The greater portion of the book is now in type and
will be off the press in a few weeks.
Manuscript collections in the library of the New England Historic
Genealogical Society and the personal acquisitions of the writer have been
the basis of the work, supplemented by vital records and an extensive
correspondence, and the result will be a volume of over 600 pages, which
will give a very complete account of the family down to the children of the
seventh generation. This seemed a logical stopping point as the adding of
another generation would mean a large increase in the size of the book and
carry the expense beyond the amount the compiler was ready to lose in the
venture.
It was decided to make it a Chase book, the female lines not being carried
forward as families, births, marriages and deaths alone being given, when
known.
To interest later generations the offer was made to extend the family line
of subscribers to include their families. This turned out to be a very
trying proposition on account of the desire to include the uncles and aunts,
the sisters and brothers, and the children and grandchildren, in fact add a
whole family history, which was never contemplated and entirely out of the
question. In more than one case manuscript was submitted that would fill
several pages with the ultimatum "If you will print that I will take a copy
of the book". Needless to say that the offer was declined. It is hoped that
in due time a second volume may appear, bringing the family history down to
date but the writer has had sufficient enjoyment of the kind and is paying
well for it. It is his own enterprise and any praise or criticism is his.
The writer also wishes to voice a protest against the printing of so much
genealogical misinformation relating to the early Chases.
He has not yet been able to establish any connection of the Chase immigrants
to America with the family in England. If any one has any actual proof of
the connection he would be pleased to have it, but to be of value it must be
sustained by records, not a mere repetition of what some misinformed person
put into print years ago, and which has been discredited time and time
again".

To Kari and any other interested Chasers, and in supplement to Lonnie Chase's
helpful direction about ordering the John Carroll Chase book at Picton Press,
may I suggest that it is available as well at Barnes & Noble. There is no
price break, as is customary at B&N, but the good thing is that if you choose
to order from B&N, via the special link below, a portion of your purchase
price will benefit the national program known as "FirstBook" which concerns
itself with getting books into the hands of children who might otherwise not
experience having a book of their own.
Thank you in advance for helping "FirstBook" by ordering "Descendants," or
any other book for that matter, via the link below. Sandy Chase

Note from the Chase Chronicles - Jan - April, 1928
A CHASE GENEALOGY
"A genealogy of the descendants of the immigrants AQUILA and THOMAS CHASE,
which has been in preparation by John Carroll Chase in the past two years,
bringing the male line down to the seventh generation, is now in press and
will be issued in a few weeks.
Any desired information in regard to the book may be obtained from the
author at 9 Ashburton Place, Boston".
EDITORS NOTE:
"Mr. Chase sent the above modest notice for publication in the Chronicle
and I am adding the following":
"Mr. John Carroll Chase, as most of you know, was the first president of the
Chase-Chace Family Association organized in July, 1899. He has always been
an active and sustaining member of the Association and is at present a
member of the Executive Committee. He is and has been for some years past
the President of the New England Historic Genealogical Society, located at 9
Ashburton Place, Boston, Massachusetts.
Mr. Chase is deeply interested in genealogy - especially his own line - and
has been an indefatigable worker in compiling this most complete and
accurate work.
As Mr. Chase is bringing out this Chase genealogy at his own expense, and as
we have dispaired of ever having a printed Chase genealogy because of lack
of Association funds, we are indeed fortunate in having the opportunity to
own a Chase Genealogy of the Aquila and Thomas line so carefully worked out.
Mr. Chase, has of necessity, in most cases, confined himself to the male
line bringing it down to the seventh generation. The data thus provided
allowing of easy extension and amplification by those wishing to go further
along their particular family lines. We bespeak a hearty response to this
notice in early and large orders".

Note from the Chase Chronicles.
LOCK FROM THE HEAD OF COUNTRY'S FATHER BRINGS $480
"A few shreds of George Washington's hair, set in a small brooch, which
belonged to the collection of John Fiske, the American Historian, were sold
last week (1915) for $480 to a collector, who kept his identity a secret.
The deal was made at the sale of the autograph books and relics constituting
the Fiske collection.
In 1800 four girls wrote a letter to Martha Washington expressing their
sympathy on the death of her husband and asking for some of Washington's
hair as a remembrance.
Mrs. Washington complied and wrote a gracious letter. The girls divided the
locks of hair and each got a remembrance. One of them was Miss Abby Chase.
She willed the keepsake to Mrs. Henrietta R. Okie of Boston, who later sold
it to Bigelow, Kennard & Co., of Boston, from whom John Fiske and his wife
bought it".

Greg, you believe that our Thomas Linnell was in reality Thomas Chase, son of
Thomas Chase and Rebecca Cheney of Sanbornton, NH. Sanbornton was founded by
John Sanborn. There is information about the history of Sanbornton on the
following website:
http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Park/3376/sanmain.html
According to the IGI, Enoch Linnell, whom I mention in my letter, married
Susanna Sanborn.

There is no such connection. Aquila and Thomas are not brothers to William.

Subject: [CHASE-L] Amasa Chase and Prudence Moore
My family is trying to trace a connection back to Aquila, brother to Thomas
and William, who came over with Gov. Winthrop. My great grandfather was Art
Chase (1st wife Mary Collins, 2nd wife Minnie ?) (brothers Noble, Edwin, and
Abner) whose father was John A. Chase (b. approx 1850-1860 in Alberta,
Canada, wife Eudora North), whose father was Amasa Chase (b. aprox.
1820-1830, in Ontario we think) who married Prudence Moore. We cannot find
the name of Amasa's father. Family history has us descended from Aquila and
Soloman Portland Chase.
Does anyone have any information?
