Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
I was rereading some of my email and realised that this may be worth sharing.
Jeffrey Chace wrote the following in response to Mo Langdon's email of 23 February 2004:
Hello Mo,
> CHASE is 371 in the US. Happy hunting!
According to the same site, "Chace is surname number 12064 in the USA." Maybe we Chaces should be
placed on the endangered surnames list!!
To which Mo had the this to say:
'LOL!! Could be worse: could have come back with "... is not among the top 55,000 most common names
in the US.", which is the result for some of my lists...'
And to which Mary Gillespie promptly replied:
"At least you have a better chance of finding your ancestors! I'm also looking for Campbells and
they're number 43. No wonder I can't find them."
It's interesting that being at either end of the common surnames scale can inhibit your search.
Cheers,

Just thought I would post this out and see if by chance anyone my share my
line. I'm very very interested in learning more about Alexander William
Chase (also went as Wm. Alexander Chase) and his wife. There's still a big
question about her surname as I'm unable to locate anything on her. I do
believe that she was a American Indian from the Iroquois Nation, but that is
hard to prove since it wasn't cool to be American Indian during her time.
I would great appreciate any input you might have.

For those of you who are new to the list or are unaware of some of the functionality of the list, I
wanted to make sure you realise that it is browseable AND searchable from the very first messages
back in 1997. I often see questions and queries for which answers can be found in the archive of
this list. By the way, this is true of any of the Rootsweb mailing lists.
To search the list use the following link:

Slán,
Mo!
The comment about the origin of the 21 gun salute is possibly off. The 21
gun salute has been used in Britain for many, many years and is the highest
honour. It is used at the British Monarch's birthday. I hardly think they
would connect it to the Revolutionary War!

My Chases also ended up in Northwestern Michigan. They immigrated from New
York in the early 1830's to Lenawee County in Southern Michigan. In 1921 Irvin
(son of Leonard, son of Artimas, son of Joseph, son of Daniel, son of
Phineas, son of Abraham, son of William Jr., son of William, son of Benjamin, son of
William)and Louise Chase moved to the Boyne City area. He died in Boyne City
in 1937. They had one son, Channing Chase who died in Boyne City in 1923. I
have a lot of information on this family if anyone would like it.

Did you know "this" about our FLAG???
Do You Know?
Do you know that at military funerals, the 21-gun salute stands for the sum of the numbers in the year 1776?

Hi Tammy,
I received an email from a person researching the same family you were
asking about. His email address is Rexchase(a)aol.com

Hi Rex,
I am not looking for any Chase families in Michigan. I have seen the name
many times in my research in the northwest Michigan area. Whenever I find
the family, I will post it to the Chase List. All marriage and death records
for Grand Traverse County are online. The marriage records are at
www.tcnet.org/cgi-bin/marriseek.pl The death records are at

Hi Don,
You probably have all of this information about Increase Chase, but here is
what I found in 2 web searches.
Increase Chase and his wife Emilin and 4 children are listed in the 1880
Census of Grand Traverse County.
This is from a search of the 188o Census at www.familysearch.org
<http://www.familysearch.org/> There was a person listed on that website
that you should contact. His name is David Stone. He lives at 145 Oakwood
St. Ravena, OH 44266. He submitted the birth date of Increase as 14 Jul 1821
in Brantingham, Lewis County, NY. The parents of Increase were Herman Chase
and Delia Mattison.
The Grand Traverse Death Record at www.tcnet.org/cgi-bin/deathseek.pl lists
his death in 1900 . See Liber 1, page 187. The date of birth is in the 1880
Census record. Marriage records for Grand Traverse County are at
www.tcnet.org/cgi-bin/marriseek.pl
If I come across anymore information about this family, I will contact you.

My Chase family was in Loudon, Merrimack Co., NH in the early 1800s, but I
don't have these names in my file. I do have lots of missing descendants
where they might fit. Do you have any other details on the locations? I
have some of the family on my website www.holthouse.org .

You may want to check out the 1880 census for Henry and Guy Chase. There is
a Henry V. Chase, age 50, b. NY and living as "other" in East Tawas and there
is a Guy Chace, b. 1870 in MI and living as the son of Ella Chace in
Cadillac, MI. Guy has two other brothers (Willie and Charles) and a sister (Evelin)
living with him.
Also, you should check out the 1870 Census to see their relationships then.
Good Luck,
Rex
