I receive your Chase messages on my GWI account. Is it possible to have
those messages changed to my Yahoo account? it is obnn9119(a)yahoo.com. Thank
you. My Chase family is Aquila, Thomas, Nathan, Jonathan, Jonathan, Cyrus,
Elmer, Gladys Chase md Henry Earl Bartley, Elmer Bartley to me. All the
family until Jonathan (4) were in Newbury/Newburyport. Jonathan married
Hannah Merrill and when Massacusettes paid it's continental soldiers in land
grants in Maine, Jonathan and Hannah moved to Danville ( now Auburn). Their
children moved "Westward" and founded families in Ohio and Iowa. Thier
descendants are frequently on the message boards. Cyrus was the youngest of
Jonathan (5) and he moved north to help settle Northern Maine following the
Aroostook War and Webster-Ashburton Treaty. He served in Maine's 19th
Volunteers during the Civil War. My father was born in the same town Cyrus'
children were raised in. If there are any descendants of Jonathan (4) out
there who would like to visit the site of Jonathan & Hannah's home, I would
be glad to help. Katie Williams
Hello All,

more information about Quakers. I have fixed some annoying formatting
issues as well and have added a plethora of Chace Family Photographs

2. Frederick Chase
Who was Frederick Chase?
Frederick Chase was born on February 5, 1784 in Westerly, Rhode
Island, the son of Frederick Chase, Sr. and Ruth Fry. His
great-great-grandfather William Chase had been born in England and came
to this country in 1629, settling in Yarmouth, Massachusetts.
On February 5, 1807, Frederick married Rebecca Champlin Cartwright
on Block Island. Officiating was the Reverend John Gorton Worden. She
had been born on September 10, 1789 also near Westerly. She was
descended from William and Mary Cartwright who arrived at Salem,
Massachusetts in 1630 as members of the Winthrop group. They originally
settled at Roxbury, but eventully settled also in Yarmouth. Both
families eventually settled at Ashaway, about four miles from Westerly
in Rhode Island. The first Sabbatarian or Seventh Day Baptist Church was
organized at Newport, Rhode Island on January 3, 1672 and most of its
organizers were from Ashaway. The Chases were also Sabbatarians.
As a young man in Westerly, Frederick Chase served as a ensign, a
lieutenant, and eventually achieved the rank of captain.
By mid-1811, Frederick Chase, his wife, and two young daughters had
moved to Shelter Island. In June he purchased approximately 38 3/4 acres
from Augustus Griffing and his wife Lucretia for $480. His land is
described in the June 12, 1811 deed as follows: Bounded Westerly and
Northerly by the waters call the Ferry; Easterly partly by Deerings
Harbor and a Creek called City Creek; Southerly partly by the lands of
Jeremiah King and partly by the woodlands of the said Augustus Griffing,
again Westerly partly by the lands of the said Frederick Chase purchased
by him of Jeremiah Young, and partly by the woodlands of the said
Augustus Griffing. From the deed, it is clear that he had previously
purchased land from Jeremiah Young, but we can find no record of it.
It is generally understood that the Chase homestead sat at what is
now the north west corner of Chase Avenue and Cedar Street, above the
Bridge.
On November 6, 1816, Frederick and Rebecca purchased an additional
27 acres from Augustus Griffing, that parcel of land or woodland lying
and being in a place commonly called West Neck....bounded: Southerly and
Easterly by the land of the said Frederick Chase; Northerly and Westerly
by the ferry called Boisseau Ferry, it being nearly in the form of what
is commonly called a triangle. (We have all been told that Boisseaus
Ferry was at Stearns Point, but this deed suggests otherwise. Also, a
1855 map created by the U. S. Coast Survey Office, shows the Old Ferry
at the foot of City Road. It also clearly shows the 1837-39 road from
City Road to a wharf at the Northwest corner of Chases property where
the North Ferry departs from today in 2003.)
<http://www.shelter-island.org/chase/chase_peninsula.html> (Click on the
map to see it enlarged.)
By the completion of these two transactions, Frederick and Rebecca
owned 65 3/4 acres on the northerly part of the peninsula now called The
Heights. We must presume that Frederick was a farmer because in those
days, if you owned land, you farmed it. However, from the Coastal Survey
Map of 1855 which shows his land to be a meadow, neither woods nor
cultivated, and from the inventory of his possessions when he died which
described 35 sheep and 122 1/8 pounds of wool, one can speculate that he
was a sheep man (like cattle man) more than a farmer.
The day before Christmas in 1811 a severe storm, known as The
Christmas Storm, struck the area. Augustus Griffing of Oysterponds (now
Orient) -- the same Augustus Griffing who sold his Shelter Island land
to Frederick Chase -- said in his 1857 Journal, a more violent and
destructive storm [had] not been known for the last 100 years. The
following year the British, in the War of 1812 brought destruction to
the East End of Long Island. Three years to the day of the violent
storm, peace with England was declared.
Although the young family were Seventh Day Adventists [or Baptists],
they fitted comfortably into the largely Presbyterian community on
Shelter Island and by 1813, Frederick was elected School Inspector. For
the next seven years, he served variously as Tax Collector, Constable,
Overseer of the Poor, and Commissioner of Schools, sometimes more than
one position at a time. From 1820 through 1823, he was Town Supervisor.
In 1825 and 1826 he was against a Commissioner of Schools and an
Inspector.
When Chase was supervisor, the towns men met once a year, on the
first Tuesday in April, to elect the supervisor, clerk, assessors,
constable, collector of taxes, overseers of the poor, fence viewers,
commissioners of schools, and school inspectors. They determined how
much to raise to support the poor and for heating and repair of the
school house. The poor were generally widows, orphans, and the elderly
without any other visible means of support.
In 1821, Esther Sarah Dering presented a petition to the Town
officers to manumit her slave London, age 26, according to the New York
State Law entitled An Act Concerning Slaves and Servants passed April
8, 1801. This law allowed owners to free slaves if they were under 50
years old and able to provide for themselves. In April 1822, the Town
officers certified Londons status as a free man.
A note about fence viewers. There was a time when every town had
two or three men assigned to this important task. Their job was to
arbitrate between owners when a fence was to be built or repaired on
property boundaries. They determined where the property lines were and
who was responsible for the costs. Although there are no fence viewers
on Shelter Island today, this job still exists in some New England,
mid-Western and Canadian towns.
Although Rebeccas cousins the Cartwrights, who settled on Shelter
Island on Coecles Harbor in 1800, joined the Presbyterian Church,
Frederick and Rebecca did not. He was often observed working in his
fields on Sunday.
Because there was no bridge across Chases Creek, he was known to
act as the ferryman, carrying the women wishing to cross on his
shoulders. However, he required the men to remove their boots and walk
across. There is a story that Squire Chase once carried the Presbyterian
preacher across the Creek piggy back so that the clergyman might not be
obliged to remove his leather boots. The preacher was the Reverend Ezra
Young, a Princeton graduate and a descendent of the Reverend John Youngs
who settled Southold in 1640. Dismounting, the preacher joked that Chase
could not thereafter say that he had not been ridden by a priest.
He and Rebecca had nine children, all daughters except the middle
one, Albert.
Ruth Chase, born 1808 in Rhode Island, the oldest child, never
married.
Lydia, also born in Rhode Island in 1811, married Alvin P. Boardman.
They eventually ran a boarding house in The Heights. Their daughter
Sarah married Joseph William Parrish. Their son, who had the same name
as his father, married Sarah Bennett. They had a daughter, also named
Sarah (known on the Island as Sadie), who married Joseph Norman Madore.
They had four children, Norman, Calvin, Mavis (who married William
Johnson III) and Gordon who lives on Shelter Island today..
Rebecca Chase, the third child, was born in 1813. She married Elisha
Griffin Beebe of Orient.
Elizabeth Chase, born 1815, married Jarvis Wood of Greenport.
Albert Chase was the fifth child. He was born in 1815. According to
Clarence Ashton Wood, a longtime editor of The Long Island Forum and
descendent of Frederick Chase through Elizabeth, and a source for much
of the family history, Albert was three times married, Susan Pettit who
died at age twenty and is buried at the Presbyterian Church cemetery in
the family plot just behind the hall, Martha Buddington, by whom he had
a son Frederick Algeroy Chase who located in New Haven, and Nancy A.
(last name unknown) to whom he was married in the 1860s.
The sixth child Emeline married Joseph Skillman who later ran a
grocery store near the old wharf at the place of Prospect.
The seventh child was Harriet Newell Chase, born 1822. She married
William Barteau, a prominent ship builder in Brookhaven.
Margaret Lafayette Chase was born in 1824 and married Lorenzo
Walters. The youngest, Catherina Editha, married a railroad man named
Mosier and settled in Brooklyn.

I went back and checked the Book I had. It actually
is a ONE of a KIND book created and dedicated to
George Everett Chase- FOUNDER of the Cheery Chase club
for the Blind. The date of the book is November 6,
1936. And was made in Los Angeles, California.
If anybody has ANY Information other than the info
from the Chase Family CHronicles, please pass it

Thanks for all your help.

Charlie,
Could you send me the DNA testing info? I had it once a while ago but can't
lay my hands on it. I've got an Uncle (my mom's half-brother) and a cousin
(found out after his mother's death that his father was actually a Chase) that
I'd like to get tested. My mother & I would likely pay for their testing and
so I'd need to know how to do that also. I've talked with my cousin Charles
who is probably in his 70's and he would be willing to be tested but I don't
want to put it off because of his age. My Uncle Art is the only male Chase
relative other that Charles. Our known line is James W Chase (moved NY-OH-WI);
Charles Madison Chase; Arthur B Chase; Raymond Arthur Chase; and then my Uncle
Art. Cousin Charles is the biological son of one of Arthur's brothers.. if I
remember rightly.. Ok. That's it. I'm done babbling. Please send me the info so
I can put them into the DNA pot...
Susan Heider (nee Hyatt, Mom was the Chase)
Zionsville, IN
Thought I'd post again, now that people may be back in town after the
holiday.
Ira Fish CHASE (unusual middle name; probably after a grandparent?),
married Emily BACON and had Olive I, 1849; Helen C 1853, and Abbie Fish,
1853. Ira worked for the railroad.
His parents May have been Herman and Clarissa. Any help welcomed;
willing to share.
Thanks! Pam in TN

Here is a report for the Chase group:
The DNA study has been pretty quite for a while. I have just been sitting,
waiting for the next test taker. For those not knowing their earliest ancestors
this test will, at least, help you get on the right track. The results will
tell you if you descend from William Chase or Aquila Chase--or, it will tell you
not to bother tracking these two men because you descend from another line.
Then, if you match with someone who has been tested in the past, or is tested
in the future, you will be on your way to finding more about your family line.
Let me know if you are a male with the Chase surname and you want to be part
of the Chase DNA project. Testing is done by Family Tree DNA Company out of
Houston, Texas. I believe them to be the leader in the field of DNA testing for
genealogical purposes. Charlie Scott
Well, I'll post a general inquiry then, just to show the list is still
working. I've had a couple of responses on the Rockingham County list about
my 4xgt-grandparents Mark Chase and Anna Thomas. I'm still looking for
their marriage date and place, which seems to have been wherever the bride
was living in 1794 or 1795. (Mark was born in Exeter and their first two
children were born there.)
I wasn't sure if Anna Thomas was born in Pennsylvania or Virginia (around
1776), but it now seems to be reasonably certain that it was Virginia. I
wanted to subscribe to a list where I could ask about her, but there
doesn't seem to be one for Virginia as a whole, and I have no idea what
county I want. I don't even know if I should be looking in present-day
Virginia or West Virginia. Being a Canadian whose family research so far
has been entirely in Scotland and Ontario, I don't know where to look for
records in Virginia before it split into two states. State archives
perhaps? And if so, where are they?
Any suggestions much appreciated.
