Hi,Jeffery,
Yes for some reason Holland does not seem to like ntl,my provider but I am
sure the group will understand as our communications can only benefir "The
cause"
I am in Amsterdam this week-end staying at the Avenue Hotel. I am not sure
how far away this is from where you live.
My wife and I are going to Floriade for a couple of days. I will be in the
Hotel on Sunday evening about 9.30 pm. Do not call earlier as we will be
out.
Keith
For the benefit of the Group Floriade is a "Once in 10 years event" and
probably the biggest flower and garden festival in the world.

Keith,
Glad to hear that you are still subscribing to the list. I realise that it
is not the intent of the list to post personal messages, but considering the
odd situation we have always experienced with trying to exchange email, I
don't see that I have much choice. I was wondering if you might give me a
call again sometime? This weekend would be great for me. The last time I
was in Blighty, I was unable to get together with you and would like to talk
some more about our family.
Don't know when the next time will be that I will be visiting the isles, but
should have time in the next couple of months. It would be great if before
that time someone has the opportunity to track down the Banks Mss. at the
Library of Congress and give us some further data. But, in any case, I am
very eager to have another go at finding sneaky William.
I imagine you still have my phone number, if not make that known here and I
will try the old "send it through Lonnie" trick! :) BTW, Ginger, if you
are reading these, what is this weekend like for you concerning a phone call
from me?
Cheers,
Jeffrey

Further thoughts re the Banks manuscripts.
There is a good chance that copies may also be in the Archives at Kew, UK,

Hello,
I thought that I would pass on this information to anyone who is interested
and particularly someone who is in a better position than I to go
investigate. In the book The Great Migration Begins, William Chace's
origins in Wivenhoe are based upon the Topographical Dictionary of 2885
English Emigrants to New England, 1620-1650, Elijah Ellsworth Brownell, ed.
(Philadelphia 1937; rpt. Baltimore 1957), by Dr. Charles E. Banks. The
Great Migration says, "Banks derives this William Chase from Wivenhoe,
Essex, citing only 'Banks Mss.'" Earlier this year, I found a copy of the
same Topographical Dictionary at Essex Records Office in Chelmsford,
England, and indeed that is the only source given. 'Banks Mss.' means Banks
Manuscripts.
Below is the a guide to the information held by the Library of Congress and
the Banks genealogical collection makes up 11 microfilm reels. Who, oh Who
has the time and is in close enough proximity to go determine if the
mysterious 'Banks Mss.' with regard to William are included in these reels?
Given what notes he made on William and why he concluded William came from
Wivenhoe would allow me to go straight to the source in England and further
our information.
Banks genealogical collection. -- Washington, D.C. : Library of Congress,
Photoduplication Service, 1978. -- 11 microfilm reels ; 35 mm.
LC Call Number: Microfilm 51304

American families, found in the library of Col. Charles E. Banks at the time
of his death in 1931. It includes some printed but mostly handwritten and
typewritten manuscripts. The originals are in the Library of Congress Rare
Book and Special Collections Division. The collection also includes some
periodical articles and book pages, lists, subsidies, parish registers,
photos, letters and postcards, some maps, some genealogies, and other
genealogical data. A list of items filmed appears at the beginning of each
reel.

Where did AQUILLA and THOMAS CHASE first settle? I am interested in perhaps
the main locations of where the first 3 or 4 generations lived. I am trying
to keep them seperate from the descendants of WILLIAM (1) who lived at
Roxbury and Yarmouth and Swansea and also into Rhode Island.
Thanks,Clyde

Biographical Note
Horace Gair Chase was born in Hopkinton, New Hampshire, July 9, 1827, one of
three sons of probate judge Horace and Betsy (Blanchard) Chase. His
mother died when he was young and his father remarried in June, 1844. At age
sixteen he was apprenticed to the mathematical and nautical
instrument store of Samuel S. Thaxter & Son in Boston, where he remained for
over a year until his health failed. He appears to have boarded with the
Cushing family at this time. Off duty hours found young Horace at the
library, various church and temperance meetings, and occasionally at the
theatre. His politics at this time were yet undecided and he attended
Democrat and Whig meetings with equal enthusiasm. By his twentieth birthday,
Horace was back in Hopkinton working as a cobbler.
In 1852, Horace followed his brothers Samuel B. and Charles C. to Chicago,
where he became employed by real estate dealer James H. Rees, who with
Edward Rucker originated the land abstract system in Chicago. In 1855,
Horace and Samuel Chase joined fortunes with James Rees to form Rees,
Chase & Co. Eventually, Mr. Rees was bought out, and the firm became Chase
Brothers & Co. Over the next decade and a half, the fortunes of the firm
improved, and Horace settled at 864 Prairie Avenue, and in 1869 at 924
Prairie Avenue. This latter address is now the 1900 block of that street, a
neighborhood described in Mayer and Wade's Chicago: Growth of a Metropolis
as "the focus of fashionable living" in the 1860's. The Chase home was
a block away from the Marshall Field mansion erected in 1874 and three
blocks from the Philip Armour home.
In 1870, brother Charles C. Chase joined Chase Brothers & Co.; the fourth
partner being George H. Bailey, and the office located at 48 LaSalle Street.
After the fire of 1871, in which the Cook County abstract records were
destroyed, it was found that Chase Brothers & Co. and two other abstract
firms
(Shortall & Hoard and Jones & Seller) had each lost part of their indices,
but together had a complete set, with some duplicates. The three firms
therefore merged, and still later consolidated with Chicago Title and Trust.
Immediately after the fire, Chase Brothers & Co. established its offices at
299 W. Washington Street. Horace maintained a separate loan business with
John B. Adams as well.
Horace G. Chase married in Chicago June 14, 1860, to Ellen Marian Sherwin.
They became the parents of four children: Samuel M., Bessie L. B., Lucy
B., and Horace Stanley. Charles C. Chase married in 1874 to Bel (d. 1883)
and moved to Lake View, then a separate city. Samuel B. Chase also settled
in Lake View. Both Horace and Marian survived into the twentieth century,
and in their retirement years summered at Hopkinton, New Hampshire. In
politics he was a Republican; the Chases belonged to the Reformed Episcopal
Church. He was a member of the Masonic Order.

I just realised today that I have had suspect information on the
welcome.html page of my website for a long time. No longer is
Buckinghamshire given as the origin of Aquila and Thomas, and like William,
are known now as only "from old Blighty." I have tried to rectify my error
by directing new visitors to Poland.

Hello,
I have had the great privilege of receiving an email from the current owners
of the Elijah Cornell Chase House giving historical information about the
home. They have confirmed my inkling that the house mentioned in the letter
of March 4, 1866, about which I posted earlier, was indeed on the same
location as the current brick structure and became the kitchen of the
house. Additionally (WOW!) they have emailed me a photo (circa 1895) of
Elijah and his wife Abigail sitting around with their family outside the
back of the old kitchen. The new brick house having been built in 1869 can
also be seen. All of this can be found at my site and I have added a link
"Photos of Elijah Cornell Chase House" to the navigation bar to make it
easier to find.

I"ve been doing some reseach into Acquilla.
Some of the sources say ...and I believe it's been said on this list....that
Acquilla Chase may not have originated in Chesham, Buckinghamshire.
I was wondering if anyone has ever researched other English counties for a
clue as to where he came from?
And I'll tell you why...and about some theories I've come up with.
I've done some reviewing of Dow's history of Hampton. My thinking was that
sometimes if you take a step back and review the circumstances they were
in...it gives you a bigger and broader picture.
There were two original groups that settled in Hampton.
The first settlement was lead by a Rev. Stephen Bachiler(sp) The second...
that our Acquilla is supposed to maybe have come with was lead by Rev
Timothy Dalton. I believe that he probably did come with Rev. Dalton
....and I'll go into some of the reasons why.
If you review the history of the town and who some of these other people
were...some interesting information comes up.
It seems that Rev Bachiler, the original founder of Hampton, was a bit of a
nefarious character in his day. He was run out of several parishes for being
basically someone who liked to be contentious and stir the pot all the time.
Not a good puritan.
Rev. Dalton on the other hand was supposed to be more conservative in his
views. Went with the politcal flow...kind of guy. He was actually the one
with the greatest amount of support in the congregation.
There was a lot of infighting and backbiting between the two groups. Charges
were flung...people hauled before the magistrate who were known to
sympathize with one group or the other. A lot of hard feelings.
Acquilla was brought up on charges of "Picking Pease on the Sabbath." The
men who brought him up on those charges....were William Sanborn....and
William Fifield.
William Sanborn was the grandson of Stephen Bachiler....and Willian Fifield
sat in the same pew with him in church. Church seating was assigned. They
sat according to "Dow's History" in second row on the west side of the
meeting house. All male church members sat on the west side of the meeting
house, but isn't it interesting however to note that they were together
these two men....the ones that brought Acquilla up on charges....and who it
was they were connected to. Acquilla was a freeholder and didn't belong to
the church...but remember that to these settlers....these ministers weren't
just ministers they were leaders in this small community.
I think it makes a good case for Acquilla being in Daltons group when he
came.
Now to my question.
Sources both on this list and in the "Seven Generations" list that Acquilla
may not have come from Chesham in Buckinghamshire. Dow's History of Hampton
states that the followers of Stephen Bachiler came promarily from Hampshire
and Wiltshire. The Seven Generations says that Ann Wheeler came from
Wiltshire.
But Dow's History also states that the followers of Timothy Dalton came
primarily from Norfolk and Suffolk counties in England. These are coastal
areas.... and this would make sense ...given that we know Acquilla was
mariner. Also, I did a surname search for these counties in England. No
Chases turn up for Suffolk county....but the name does turn up for Norfolk.
Has anyone ever reviewed parish records for Norfolk county in England? I
don't want to waste my time on a wild goose chase...no pun intended....if
someone has already thought of this before.

Would the CHASE moderator please email me privately - I have a
question and have lost track of this person due to several system
crashes....
Thanks.

Hi All,
I have just added the Last Will and Testament of Thomas Chace Sr. to my
website if you are interested. What a fantastic genealogical source are
wills. Thomas's will list all of his children and their locations. When my
family decided to move from the safety of our ancient New England home, we
sure spread out across the country. Washington D.C. is not so far away, but
Kansas certainly is, South Dakota even farther, and California, clear on the
other coast.
Alonzo, the listed executor of the will, ended up in California. His wife
Cordelia M. Wood, daughter of Benjamin and Mary B. Wood of Thompkins Co. New
York, ended up dying on August 12, 1927, in Hollywood, California, of all
places. And, Alonzo died March 23, 1930, in Beverly Hills, California
(having changed the spelling of his name to Chase). Their children were
Julia Forbes Chase (b. Dec. 17, 1863 in Dryden NY), Mary Wood Chase (b.
January 1, 1868 in Brooklyn, NY), and Edith Emily Chase (b. January 21, 1870
in Ithaca NY). Anyone have anymore information about them? Especially,
Alonzo? Maybe some of your Californians know something about them? (Judy
Chace Needham, wink wink?)
Cheers,
Jeffrey Chace

Jeffery had no trouble getting to wonderful web site. I have printed some of
it but I'm off to the dog track. The proper way to get on and I urge all AOL
users to do so is

it your favorite places)
Hi All,
Art informs me that if you use AOL (and I assume this is probably true for
other providers as well) that the http:// is added automatically. So, if
you try using the URL I posted in my messages, you may have trouble. In
most web browsers, the http:// part is not necessary anyway. I just put it
in so that most email programs will recognise it as a link so you can just
click on it. Maybe that has been a problem for some. (Oh, and make sure
you spell the j.b.chace part with a "c") :)
Hope that helps - thanks Art!
