CHAPTER XX TO ENGLAND FOR AID
Arrived in New York, the Bishop received the same persistant opposition that
developed in Kingston. "Ruin was sure to result." Even intimate friends had
been spoken to,and had been so influenced that they used every effort to
cause an abandonment of the venture. The Bishop says, apropos of this: "all
these kind friends lived on the eastern side of the mountains, therefore
their opinions should not be heeded, as they were one-sided judgments, for
they had never been on the other side of the mountains."
The matter, however, did not end with a friendly and pitying advice, such as
was given in the letters thrown over the sweetbrier bushes. He was now told
that the opposition to the scheme for id would go with it to England. "You
will be opposed in England by the weight of the Church in America, and that
in the strongest manner." The Bishop's reply was that he could not believe
it.
As an instance of the extremity of the ill feeling against the only course
open to the Bishop at this time, the following is worthy of notice. A letter
written by an eminent lawyer to a gentleman formerly residing in London, now
living in America, asking the favor of letters of introduction to men of
character in London for the Bishop, was returned with the compliments of the
Honorable Gentleman, saying that "he had been advised to refuse any letters
of introduction to his friends in England."
At this time letters from Bishop Ravenscroft of North Carolina and Bishop
Bowen of South Carolina cheered the Bishop's fainting spirits by their
expressions of ardent approval and earnest encouragement in his plan. These
good men knew and realized the needs of the West, and were generous enough
to help instead of hinder in this great work.
During the days of waiting, young Philander, summoning all his remaining
strength, came on to New York to bid his father at last farewell. Before
sailing, Bishop Chase wrote a letter to Bishop White on the subject of going
to England for the relief of the Church in Ohio, and this letter was
unhesitatingly approved by Bishop White, who advised its immediate and
general circulation. It gave reasons which, to a generous mind, could not be
disputed with any show of honor and justice. The Bishop, many years after,
says of this letter:
"It was written in a sick room during intervals of great sorrow and
suffering, opposing friends about me, a wide ocean before me, and beyond it
scenes as untried as those in another world, and withal a portentous cloud
ready to burst upon me. Under such circumstances, I asked the 'prayers of
the Church for persons going to sea.' In this I was denied." With all the
evils of the twentieth century, it is scarcely to be believed that such an
instance of utter heartlessness could occur now among Christian gentlemen.
The ship Orbit was to sail on the 1st of October. But one clergyman in New
York accompanied the Bishop tpo the ship. The invalid son rode to Whithall,
and there bade his father his last farwell.. Soon the anchor was up and the
ship was out at sea. The Bishop reflects: "I left behind me my dying son, my
suffering diocese, my anxious wife, helpless children and angry friends. Who
was to welcome me across the wide and weltering sea? None whom I knew; but I
well knew who would attempt to drive me from the English shores, for from
this person's lip's I heard the promise."
To cut short the story of this painful and almost incredibly cruel threat,
suffice to say that it was carried out completely to the letter.
The voyage was on the whole prosperous one for those days, when sailing
vessels alone could cross the Atlantic. The ship was almost near enough to
the harbor at Liverpool to meet the pilot, when a great wind blew it back,
and ship and passengers were in much danger for several days, finally
landing at Liverpool the Sunday after the storm began.
*** Barauch Chase, an older brother of the Bishop, had married an
English woman, a sister of Timothy Wiggin of Manchester. With Mr. Wiggin at
this time resided the Bishop's nephew, Benjamin Chase. Therefore to
Manchester the Bishop repaired to visit these friends. He found a most
generous and kindly welcome,--- even more, immediate approval of his plans,
most encouraging to his sore and burdened heart. These kind friends took
counsel together. Mr. Wiggin became deeply interested, and from his precious
sympathy the Bishop drew encouragement and strength to go forward.
The Bishop was advised by Mr. Wiggin to remain some days in Manchester,
where he met with two clergymen who were much interested in his plans, and
from them he learned that the threats made in New York had been carried out
to the utmost. "Notices" against him had been made public; even handbills
had been circulated.
Before going to London, the Bishop visited Oxford, and there also, although
treated by his hosts with much respect and consideration, he had
incidentally painful confirmation of the fact. Nevertheless, he was deeply
impressed with the charms of that venerable and beautiful city, and with the
services at St. Mary's by the Rev. Mr. S., who on their way to dine at the
Provost's informed the Bishop of his "decided opposition to the Ohio plan,
having, heard the exact state of the case from another quarter." This remark
coupled with the request that "the Provost should not be troubled about the
matter, " was a quietus. One may imagine the completeness of this rebuff.
Upon the Bishop's arrival in London, with no friend to meet him in that
great city where his mysterious enemy had already begun his work, no wonder
that his heart sank and his faith in the future fainted within him. Still
he had the courage to do the work of the hour, and that was to call on
Sergeant Sellon in the Chapter House of St. Paul's Cathedral, and deliver a
letter from his son, the rector of St. Anne's Church in New York. Here
Sergeant Sellon, informed him that a printed paper in opposition to his
mission had been circulated, and that no stone was left unturned to ruin
it.
Mr. Sullen assisted the Bishop in finding lodgings at No. 10 Featherstone
buildings, High Holburn. Here with plenty of time for reflection, he could
contemplate the present and anticipate the future. One thing was certain,
however, that everything possible had been done in London to render null all
his efforts to build up and keep alive the Church of God beyond the
Alleghenies. He further says: "My opponent must think he is doing right; I
will not reproach him, on the contrary, I most devoutly pray for him. With
this state of mind I am enable to rest in quietness and content."
*******Henry Clay and Lord Gambier had been joint commissioners,
representing the United States and England at the Treaty of Ghent, and had
become fast
friends. When Bishop Chase went to England, Mr. Clay gave him letters to
Lord Gambier, and also to Alexander Baring. These were duly forwarded; both
received an invitation to visit Lord Gambier at Platt Hall, his home.
At this time another notice appeared in the papers with additional
objections to Bishop Chase's plan. He was called a "schismatic," and it was
represented that the Bishop of the Diocese of New York had archi-epsicopal
jurisdiction over Ohio, and Bishop Chase had no right to ask for aid in
England for his diocese. In short, nothing was undone that might serve to
injure Bishop Chase and his cause. These efforts did not prevail in the end,
for it was determined that there should be no contention; the fight should
be all one-sided. thus gladly is this subject dismissed, or only recalled as
the "serpent hiss of ecclesiastical hatred."
On the 4th of December, the Bishop met Lord Gambier, according to
appointment, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate Street. After the business of
the Bible Society, at which Lord Gambier presided, was over, he took the
Bishop in his carriage and they rode together to his residence at Iver.
While on the way his Lordship alluded to the letter which had been the
occasion of the present interview, and his pleasure in paying civility to
one whom his excellent friend Mr. Clay of America was pleased to commend to
his acquaintance: yet candor required him to mention that he had received,
from another American gentleman, statements of quite different character,
which had had an unfavorable effect on his mind. An explanation being
respectfully asked, his Lordship mentioned from whence these statements came
and that they were both in print and manuscript.
The Bishop says: "Perhaps nothing but conscious innocence in the exercise
of the common privilege of an unenslaved mind could have dictated an
appropriate reply to such a communication, made with such candor on such an
occasion, and from so dignified a person. The words of that reply were gone
after they were spoken, they could not be recalled: but memory still
supplies the expression of satisfaction in his Lordship's countenance when I
earnestly requested that an opportunity might be granted to disabuse his
mind
by explaining the whole case, and defending the character of an injured man
and his more injured diocese. 'this shall be freely done,' was his reply.
'will your Lordship be pleased to say it shall be uninterrupted?' to this
an
immediate assent was given, and the time fixed was the next day after
breakfast in his study. Nearly the whole day on Friday his Lordship spent in
his library with me, employed in the examination of the papers and documents
pro and con, relating to the object for which I had crossed the Atlantic.
After a full investigation, Lord Gambier observed that had he known what he
now saw, he would not have returned so polite note to ---------- (blank is
in the book, either by the author's or Bishop's descretion?) as he did in
answer to his letter which accompanied the "notices.""
The Bishop spent a delightful Sunday at Iver, and after breakfast Monday
morning, his Lordship in the most affectionate and polite manner gave his
opinion, advice, and an assurance of his support to the Ohio cause, at
the same time, he expressed his fears of its success in England. "Nearly
all,
he observed, "were prejudiced, and but few can have the opportunity of
having their minds disabused. You will have to row against wind and tide; my
advice is that you stand on your own ground and rely under God on your own
statements, supported as they are by your own life and character. Make your
publication, but do it in as few words as possible, Your introduction to me
from Mr. Clay forms your introduction to the Church Missionary Society, at
he
head of which as President stands my name. to the Secretary, the Rev.
Josiah Pratt, I shall give you a letter which you will present with my
compliments; and be assured you have my good wishes."
"With what anxious steps I was the bearer of Lord Gambier's letter to this
good man need not be told. With books and papers all around a well-lighted
room, warmed by a cheerful fire, sat the Rev. Josiah Pratt, as I suddenly,
perhaps unexpectedly, entered the room. Turning around and facing the door
he saw a man approach, of no ordinary size and evidently no inhabitant of
London, and against whom, as he has since remarked, he was very much
prejudiced. A civil bow was inter-changed and the letter from Lord Gambier
presented, He read the letter and received me very kindly.
I made a summary of my affairs and left with him some papers. He told me
that -------- had not only published notices in handbills and sent them to
him, but caused them to be inserted in the"Remembrancer", a work very much
read in England.
"The Rev. Mr. Prat observed when I came away that even as far as he had gone
in considering the case, he had no hesitation to assure me of his good
wishes and of his endeavor to accomplish what I wished, meeting of some
influential persons to take into consideration of the whole matter."

Don't know any of the chases you are trying to track down.
I too was born in Detroit on Feb. 8, 1940, but my father was from the Boston area. His name is George Warren Chase,
born September 28, 1870. His father was Warren Josiah
Chase. Hope you can locate your ancestors, Lord knows my brother and I have tried.
Bill
Can someone help me find anything on Theodore Chase, b. 16 Mar 1825, d.
10 Feb 1898, maybe in the Detroit, MI area. He was a member of the SAR.
His father was Supply Chase and his mother was Amanda Winegar. Supply's
father was Jesse Winegar and his mother, Esther Powell. And his
daughter, Jessie Amanda Chase, no dates. She was a member of the DAR.
Also of the Detroit area. Anything would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello,
Do any of you know if there is a web site or sites
that
have available the indexes for census? I have found
census sites to do my own look-ups but don't have time
to check entire counties or districts for info. It
took
me 4 hours to look at 3 enumeration districts.
Have a Happy Holiday Season,
Betty

Chapter XIX OPPOSITION AND DECISION
Until, 1820 the Church had hardly touched Church life beyond the
Alleghanies. An itinerant priest here and there had ventured in this vast
region, but, for the most part, those of our own communion beyond the
mountains were a s sheep having no shepherd.
The Rev. Joseph Doddridge, who itinerated in western Pennsylvania and
Virginia in 18111, says that a large portion of a great region including
Kentucky and eastern Ohio had been originally settled by Church people from
Maryland, Carolina, and Virginia. When they crossed the mountains they left
their Church behind them: in their old homes they had enjoyed its privileges
as they had those of the sun and the soil, without much thought or
appreciation, but now that they were lacking they missed them sadly.
.............
.............
.........Bishop Hobart was the very man who a few years later fought with
all the
might of his strong nature, his high position, and his powerful social
advantages, as the head of the Church in the great diocese and rich city of
New York, against Bishop Chase's plan of educating Western young men, "sons
of the soil, " for the ministry in the Diocese of Ohio.
Bishop White is still earlier upon record as taking slight interest in a
distinct effort made by the Convention of Pennsylvania, which had appointed
a committee to raise a fund to send missionaries where and when they saw
fit. Little came of it. It was not until sixteen years later that a
committee of three bishops, three clergy, and three laymen was appointed to
consider the situation, and granted the power to send a bishop into the new
States and Territories, if it seemed advisable. In 1811, the committee
reports that it cannot see its way to take any action.
A convocation was called afterward at Washington, Pennsylvania, asking
Bishop White to organize the Church in the West, but after waiting eighteen
months for an answer the members were told that nothing could be done.
No wonder that the hour had struck for the true pioneer churchman to change
all this.
In 1821, nothing having been provided for the support of the Bishop of Ohio,
he was obliged to accept the offer of the presidency of the college at
Cincinnati, as the farm at Worthington was inadequate for the support of his
family. The removal thither later in the fall was accomplished with much
distress to all concerned; during the journey they were benighted in the
woods near Derby. Long rains having rendered the roads impassable.
The Rev. Mr. Osborne, the first president, had already left college, and in
consequence the duties fell heavily upon the new president. He remained
through the winter and the next autumn. In September, 1822, he held his
commencement exercises and conferred degrees upon several young men of the
senior class, closing with a most touching appeal.
....................
This year, 1822, the Bishop suffered a severe illness at the house of Mr.
Putman, near Marietta. This illness was of so long duration that the order
of his visits was deranged, and it was not until Whit-Sunday (Pentecost
Sunday) that he could resume his work. In 1821, the Rev. Edward B. Kellogg
was received into the diocese from New York, also the Rev. Mr. Spencer was
stationed at Pequia and Springfield.
The Rev. Intrepid Morse (again a nephew of the Bishop's with Bethel, Vermont
ties) went to Steubenville, and the Rev. P. Chase, Jr. (the Bishop's son)
took charge at Zanesville. It was during these two years that the absolute
necessity of providing for the training of young men for the ministry among
their own people and on their own ground became so apparent to the minds of
all who ever gave it a worthy thought that it was proposed that young
Philander should go to England for the purpose of making an appeal to
churchmen in that country for this object. A meeting between the father and
son took place on the evening before the opening of the annual convention in
June, at Worthington. The young man, although far advanced in fatal illness
which ere long ended his life, had travelled one hundred and fifty miles on
horseback to fulfill this engagement. Weary and ill, his father led him to
his bedroom, where a bright fire was burning; and where for some time the
father watched, and the son rested under the temporary relief of an anodyne.
Wakeful, and at last able to speak, the son, whose mind seemed to glow with
an almost supernatural brilliance, earnestly entreated his father to take
the place designed for himself in the mission to England, in aid of Ohio.
A friendly article in the "British Critic" published in London by some
stranger who had taken pains to read the Bishop's addressees and the
journals of the three years previous, and who had warmly commended them to
consideration of the Church, in England, had so encouraged the young deacon
that, although knowing that his own life was fast ebbing, and that he should
see his father no more in life, he urged the Bishop to go in his stead.
...............
...............
There was still hope that the young man might rally and have strength to
take the voyage, but,at his ordination to the priesthood a few days later,
he was obliged to be held up by his companions to enable him to go through
the service. It was then that the father decided, with what agony none may
know, to go to England himself, for it was indeed a matter of life or death
for the Church in Ohio.
There was no money except a small legacy recently left the Bishop by a
bachelor uncle, about enough to take him across the ocean. The Angel of
Promise who had whispered to him in early days of work in Ohio came again to
him, bringing its cheering motto of faith, "Jehovah Jireh." Inspired by this
hope, which to a less sanguine nature, or rather to a more faithless heart,
would seem so frail a support in such a fateful venture, the Bishop went
cheerfully on his preparations. To quote his own words: "all was prayer to
God, with rejoicings in his Providence. If we fail, we die, but better that
than linger here and see the Church of God for want of ministers dying
around us. If we succeed, Zion will lift up her head and all her daughters,
the little churches we have founded will rejoice."
Prudence said: "Wait! stay! do not risk everything." Faith said: Go: God
will provide." To his brethren, the bishops, he wrote explaining his reasons
for this great undertaking
...............
...............
The Bishop and his family, consisting of his wife and three children, left
their home in Worthington on the 4th of August, a823, in his family carriage
drawn by two faithful horses, one of which bore the classic name of
Cincinnatus. The Bishop himself was the coachman. The journey was delayed by
illness of Chillicothe. At Steubenvillle he met once more his son Philander
and his nephew, the Rev. Intrepid Morse. At Ashtabula, the Rev. Mr. Hall
received priest's orders.
Here a very perplexing incident occurred. The "paper of commendation" had
been signed by the Rev. Messers. Doddridge, Keller, Morse, Johnston and
Chase in favor of the Bishop's plan; but now Mr. Hall (just ordained) and
Mr. Searle
refused to add their names to it. This was a blow. Unanimity among his
clergy was of the utmost importance. "Human arm hath failed us, " said the
Bishop, "we must go on trusting more fully in God."
The coach was ready, the last adieu said. This was scarcely done, when a
messenger arrived on horseback, requesting the Bishop to turn back to
Ashtabula, for there were persons, from Medina, who wished his presence to
settle difficulties in Mr. Searle's parish. During the arrangement of these
affairs, Mr. Searle reversed his decision, and both he and Mr. Hall signed
the Bishop's commendation papers. Thus the obstacle was removed.
It was a "far cry' from Ashtabula to Buffalo by horse-power. It should be
borne in mind that there was not a locomotive in the then known world, or a
rod of iron track. The road travelled was on the shore of Lake Erie, the
waves often dashing up to the horses' knees.
An accident occurred en route, and the party was detained at Buffalo, where
since a former visit a church had been built. The bishop preached for the
rector, and afterwards visited our great American wonder, the Falls of
Niagara. Very wild it was in those days. It took the party in the coach a
week to go from Buffalo to Cherry Valley, where Father Nash still lived, the
first missionary west of Albany, and the founder of all parishes in Ostego
County. As a pupil to his teacher, as a son to his father, as brother to
brother, so did the Bishop pay his devoirs (respect) to this venerable
servant of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The party arrived at Kingston on the 15th of September, the home of Mrs.
Chase mother, eight hundred miles from Cincinnati. The Bishop and family,
long separated from relatives, were welcomed cordially, but a mysterious
gloom pervaded the countenances of the mother and other friends. The
explanation was not fully made until the tired and dusty travellers had
reached their rooms, which were upon the ground floor, when over the
sweetbrier bushes, which screened the windows, came a packet of letters
thrown by an unseen hand. They were all addressed to the Bishop and
sufficiently explained the silence and sadness of the family.
Their contents had been made known to all friends. They all condemned the
Bishop's plan in toto, threatening ruin, and entreating that every means
should be used to prevent the Bishop from going another step on a tour which
must prove fatal to him and to the happiness and prosperity of his family.
"Then, " said his wife." "we must go home and die among our neighbors."
The rejoinder was, "Never!"
These good friends unknowingly took the best means for bracing every nerve
in the Bishop's body and soul; no more doubt troubled either husband or wife
in
this battle. The matter was settled.
End Chapter XIX Harriet M. Chase hatchase(a)uswest.net
Derek,
No I don't have Lonnie's address, but as I have had a few questions privately
about my query, I'll forward my response to the list.
This is NOT one of the Chronicles that Lonnie has posted. The author to this Chase
Chronicle was Millicent Submit Chase9.
The document states "Millicent Submit [Chase] is the writer of this sketch,
relying on her research and memory of stories told by her father for the details
of a family history."
Her parents were John Woodworth Chase8 and Helen Submit Ells. Her grandparents
were John Woodworth Chase7 and Sarah Millicent Theal. Her great grandparents were
Stephen Chase6 and Alice Woodworth. Her great great grandparents were Jethro
Chase5 and Dorothy Cone. Her great great great grandparents were Stephen Chase4
and Esther Buffington who moved to Nova Scotia. Her gggg grandparents were Joseph
Chase3 and and Sarah Sherman. Her ggggg grandfather was William Chase2. Her gggggg
grandfather was William Chase1
She explains that her grandparents were John Woodworth Chase4 and Sarah Millicent
Theal. In 1847, they moved their family to New York. The family had only settled
there a short time when an epidemic of cholera swept the place. John Woodworth
Chase and his wife died within a week, leaving the family alone. As a result,
three of the eight children (John Woodworth Chase, George Ambrose Chase, Albert
Alexander Chase) were brought up in Nova Scotia.
Its an interesting, but in spots confusing document; 21 pages, typed. I have a
photocopy and on the bottom of a few pages the last couple of lines are unclear.
Ada Estelle DuBois9, whom I asked about in my previous query, was the daughter of
Sarah Ann Chase8 and Stephen Smith DuBois, Williamsburg, New York. Her mother
Sarah Ann Chase8 (daughter of John Woodworth Chase7 and and Helen Submit Ells) was
NOT one of the children taken to Nova Scotia.
From the document, it appears that the Ada Estelle Dubois's husband, Harry Chase,
was NOT a descendant of Stephen Chase4.

Hi listerrs,
I have been reading "The Chase Chronicle" written by Millicent Submit
Chase. In this document, the author discusses the descendants of Stephen
Chase who settled in Cornwallis, Nova Scotia.
She states that Sarah Ann Chase born 1834, died 1921, married Stephen
Smith DuBois, Williamsburg, New York. Their daughter Ada Estelle DuBois
married Harry Chase, Kentville, Nova Scotia.
Does anyone know who this Harry Chase was?
