Hi,
As there are new people on the list, I thought I'd ask this question. Who on
this list is researching Chases from Nova Scotia? I'd love to share
information with them.
My Chases are mainly from Lunenburg County and Kings County in Nova Scotia,
but I also have information on Chases from Cumberland County, Nova Scotia.
Have a great day,

For sometime now, I have been writing a story called "Obidiah's Trip" I have
been writing this story for sometime ..and as time permits, I work on it
from time to time... as I have been doing for the past three days.
Imagine my surprise when in today's e-mail I read.. "Historic Quaker Meeting
House--Somerset, Mass" The story I am writing is Reverend Obidiah's trip to
the Quaker House in Somerset..and, as he travels along, I have included the
names of relatives he visits in Swansea. The purpose of the story is to
highlight the names in the Chace family at that time...
Here is the first part of the story:
" From: Abiathar to Zepaniah Chace
Foreword: During the 18th and 19th Century, the Christian name given to the
newly born was often a biblical name. The names are very unusual, but
interesting. In order to make these names known, I have written a story wherein I
could site these names ..rather than just making a list of the male and female
names. In the story, I have used real places, and background information about
Bristol County to make the story more interesting. All the names are real...
and were given names to someone in the Chace Family. I gathered the names from
visiting cemeteries, books about the time frame, and other reading material
written from 1750 to 1900. Some of the names, like Reverend Obidiah Chace, belong
to a real person. Obidiah was a pillar in the communities he lived in. Born
in 1818, he lived to be 90. He was a Quaker minister for the Society of Friends
in Somerset, Massachusetts for more than 50 years ..without taking salary. He
lived in Warren, Rhode Island, and gave me this opportunity to write about
his trip from Warren to Somerset, ( 71/2 miles) wherein he stopped and met with
other relatives of his Chace family.
It is interesting to note, Obidiah was originally a Whig; then a Free-Soiler,
and he was instrumental in forming the Republican Party. He died in Swansea
in the year 1907. Some of the poems he wrote can be found in the Swansea Public
Library in Swansea Village. (A book of poems were dedicated "To Augustine
Jones, Principal of Friends School, Providence R.I. Where I first learned to
frame words in Metre."
Some other facts about Obidiah..
He frequently quoted the words of William Penn..."The Word of God without me,
and the Grace of God within me, is the declaration of my faith; let him find
a better who can."
As a citizen, Rev. Chace was always actively interested in the public
welfare. He taught school several winters at Warren Neck and in other towns.He was a
member of of the Warren Town Council in 1857and served years in the General
Assembly. During the Dorr Rebellion, in 1842, he took the side of the party in
power. A watch was kept along the river that year, when two sailboats anchored
in Mount Hope Bay. The crews, composed of six men, hurried ashore and thence
into Massachusetts. This aroused suspicion, and several citizens, including
Obidiah Chace, after detaching the rudders and sails, scuttled the boats at their
anchorage. The crews later returned and said they came from Warwick R.I. to
escape from the State and avoid military service.. They were arrested and
placed in the Bristol Jail.
Some of the family names that Obidiah and sons married into..
Obidiah married Ester Taber Freeborn.. they celebrated their 60th
anniversary..
Other names.. Eunice Anthony, Hannah Sherman.. Isabel Buffington, Isabel
Baker...Mary Knowles..Sarah Slade.
Notes about thre Friends Church.
Quakers of Swansea and Shawomet..formed a committee to build church in
Wickapimpset, now Somerset Center
An additional quarter acre bought from Eber Chace..
Church demensions..45 ft long..30 feet wide..18 ft high..built in 1746-47 at
a cost of 759 pounds, 19 shillings
It was enlarged again in 1872 and 1889..
Men sat on one side..women on the other..
Shutters divided the two sides
High backed seats..uncushioned..no heat
Until 1885 there was no singing..
No one moved or uttered a word until the ministers and elders rose to signify
the meeting's end..
Obidiah's Chace served for sixty years
Theophilus Shove also served 60 years
Some early Quaker ministers: named Chase/Chace
Abraham Chase 1727--
Sarah Chase 1730
Job Chase 1733
Issac Chase 1733-1750
Hannah Chase 1764-1775
Philip Chase 1870
Jonathan Chase 1781-1824
Obidiah Chace 1847-1907 (note spelling change)
Patience Brayton was a forerunner in freeing the slaves and convinced her
husband, Preserved, to do so.. She converted to being a Quaker and was a
minister.. in the church in Somerset 1768-1794
She went to England in 1783 to make a petition to Geoge lll ..to free the
slaves in her native lands... and in the British Kindom...
This whole episode is worth reading in: History of Somerser,
Massachusetts....1677-1940 pages 47-53
Read about Rev Obidiah Chace in :History Of Swansea, Massachusetts
..1667.1917 pages 151-154
My reason for being so interested in these geneology matters is the fact that
I was born in Fall River, Mass and grew up in Swansea.. At one time I lived
next door to Christ Church in Swansea Village and was the Sexton of this church
at the age of 16-17 during the World War ll days. I have written several
stories about my association with the church which were published in Christ Church
Harvester. Obidiahs trip takes place down the street I lived on..

Historic church may have place in town's future

Journal Staff Writer
SOMERSET -- Somerest may purchase the Swansea Friends Meeting House
The four remaining members of the Swansea Friends Meeting House are in the
twilight of their lives: one of the retired couples spends its winters in
sunny Florida and the other couple is not attending service as often because
of an illness.
They divvy up the Prospect Street house's utilities, but recently that has
become an issue. They also maintain the church, which was built in 1701. It
has few cosmetic flaws.
"What's going to happen with the meeting house when we're no longer here on
this earth?" member Jan Chace, 75, asks. "These are the things that go on in
myself these days. ... It's a chore to keep up with anything."
It's a historic place for their religion, one of the first Quaker churches
built in southeastern Massachusetts. It's also Somerset's oldest building. In
addition, it retains by its title a bit of Somerset's past when it was a part
of Swansea before its incorporation in 1790.
Chace believes the town should acquire it. In the last year or so, she
mentioned the possibility to the town Historic Commission, which recently
relayed the idea to the Board of Selectmen.
Town officials say it is something they're interested in, but the process for
such a transaction may be difficult. The handwritten deed makes it hard to
read who owns the church. The town may also need authorization from the New
England Yearly Meeting, which supervises Quaker churches in this area.
Chace said the changeover could take as long as three years.
"There's a lot of questions at this point," Chace said. "Would we be able to
worship there still? Who owns it? If it does [go to the town] and the members
have to give up their membership, where will we worship?"
She said the former meeting house in Fall River is now the site of the YMCA
pool. She said, however, that there are others in the area -- Dartmouth,
Nantucket, South Dartmouth, Westport, New Bedford and East Mattapoisett.
"There's just a lot of questions," she repeated. "This has gone way over my
head."
Chace and the members of the town Historic Commission will meet with the
Board of Selectmen in late September. Commission cochairwoman Sheila Weinberg
said she is pushing for the town to take it.
"No one really knows what we have to go through for this, but it is still in
good condition, and it's a part of our town's fascinating history," Weinberg
said.
Quakers were the dominant religious group in Somerset's early years ,
according to the statewide Historical Commission. Chace said Quakers traveled
by ferry from Fall River, prior to it being called Fall River, to come to the
Swansea house.
"We've lost so many historic buildings in town," Weinberg said. "And it's our
[the commission's] job to try to preserve them."
Among those buildings she listed were the former Slades Farm, which is now a
nursing home, and the Bowers family house at South and Main streets, which
burned down. Weinberg said the Bowers and Slades families "got Somerset
started."
Weinberg said the meeting house could be a wonderful place for burial
receptions since it sits across the street from Slades Cemetery. She also
said it could be a place for the commission to meet. They have their meetings
in the advisory and finance room at Town Hall, which she says is small.
"There are many possibilities," Weinberg said, " but there won't be if it's
gone."

If you know that your ancestor belonged to any family association such as the Ballou, Chase, Dickinson, or Starr Family Association find out who was the secretary. Reason is that they may have left the notes and records to a local historical society.
My great grandfather was one of the founders of the Ballou Family Assoc and the secretary for the Starr Family Association. His manuscript collection contains members handwritten Starr genealogy applications and some obituaries and even a few photos which he left to the New England Historical and Genealogical Society (NEHGS) in Boston.
My clue to look at this manuscript collection came to me when I quizzed my mother on what she remembered about her grandfather. The thing that impressed her the most was that he use "to file every letter that came into the house in a box in the basement."
MEETING HOUSE AT SWANSEA,
NOW SOMERSET, MASS.
3rd. Mo. 21, 1713.
In the early part of the eighteenth century, it was decided to build
a little Friends meeting house at Wickapimsit, or Somerset, as it is now
called. Friends would have hesitated could they have foreseen the
consequences of this apparently, perfectly innocent decision. When the
question came up as to where the building should be placed, two brothers,
Joseph & William Chase, disagree. From friendly argument it soon became
bitter feeling. Then it spread among the members of the meeting, each taking
sides with either Joseph or William
Instead of friendly greetings, one heard the sound of disputing. As men
could not sit and worship beside those of the other faction and no agreement
could be reached, it was a question how long the meeting would go on,
when the monthly meeting stepped in. A committee was appointed to labor
with the members and especially the two brothers. When the meeting was
called, very few members were absent. After much argument and we trust,
prayerful consideration, Joseph and William agreed to bury the hatchet. The
members quietly fell in line and promised to henceforth live in peace and
unity as brothers in the truth and to attend their meetings for worship as
formerly.
Elvira L. CHASE b. abt 1841 d.11 Mar 1888, Jericho, Chittenden, VT m. 25 Nov 1834, Jericho, Chittenden, VT, Zebediah ATCHINSON b. abt 1809, VT d.1 Apr 1885, Underhill, Chittenden, VT.
Children: Eveline b. abt 1841, Albert b. 1846, William b. abt 13 Jun 1853
Does anyone know who Elvira's parents were or anything else about this family?

I need to know who has the verification of the birthdate of Wesley Chase,
the son of James P Chase and his wife Phoebe Chase. The info that I got
from census pages in NB give me 1860 and his death certificate from Lowell,
Mass says he was born in 1860-1861 - died in 1915. It seems that 1853 is
the given date, not 1861.
If anyone would care to chat with me about all this, I'd be most
appreciative.
Thanks,

Work at graveyard site stops, but mystery remains
01:00 AM EDT on Wednesday, August 25, 2004
By NEIL SHEA
Journal Staff Writer
JOHNSTON -- They were mourned by their families, placed in coffins and
lowered into graves. Their headstones were little islands surrounded by a sea
of grass.
Now, the earth that once embraced their bodies sits in sun-bleached heaps,
and instead of grass, their graves are surrounded by an 8-foot chain link
fence decorated with a No Trespassing sign.
The graves were discovered at 1810 Plainfield Pike at the beginning of the
month by a construction crew clearing land for a self-storage facility. As an
excavator scraped the earth, pieces of four headstones popped up. A day or
two later, a fifth stone appeared on the site -- but no one knows how it got
there.
Since then, work on the site has ceased and the graveyard has become
something of a local mystery. At first, no one was quite sure who was buried
at the site. But now their names are known.
Louis McGowan, president of the Johnston Historical Society, said that in the
1890s, an amateur historian named James Arnold published a book about
historical graveyards in Rhode Island. He explored Johnston and found about
130 sites.
One of them, McGowan said, was the boneyard on Fenner's Hill. Arnold
described 10 headstones engraved with names of the Fenner, King, Blanchard,
Thornton and Chace families. Arnold also listed two graves that were marked
by simple stones with no writing.
The two unknown graves may belong to servants. Archeologists have found sites
where servants were buried in the graveyards of the well-to-do families they
waited on.
McGowan isn't sure who was buried under the fieldstones.
"To me there's really no way of knowing that," he said. Maybe they just
didn't have the money at the time. To get a stonecutter back then I guess
cost a few bucks."
Police Capt. David aRusso, one of the investigators called to the scene after
the graves -- and a piece of human bone -- were discovered, said calls and e-
mails keep coming in about the graveyard.
Town Councilman William Santilli ordered the fence erected around the site to
protect what he's called "sacred ground."
He said he wants to hold a meeting for relatives of the dead. He said he's
received phone calls from people claiming to be relatives of the Blanchards
and the Thorntons.
Santilli, who represents the district that includes the property, said he'd
heard of a cemetery on the property. In 2002, he warned the developers of the
self-storage facility that they might uncover graves.
Now that they have, work must stop on the site until archeologists can define
the boundaries of the graveyard, according to state law. Then, the developer
must notify the next of kin, who can give -- or deny -- permission to rebury
the bones elsewhere. Taylor said the ultimate decision, however, sits with
the town, which can override the family's wishes.
Santilli said the families he's spoken to want the cemetery to remain intact.
The Massachusetts company that is developing the site initially planned to
move forward and hire archeologists to search the site. But no one has seen
anyone working there in several days. Representatives of the company did not
return phone calls.
"I can't get a meeting with these people until I know what's going on up
there," said Santilli. "I'm waiting for the archeologist to go up there so we
can see what's going on."
McGowan said he was pleased the site had finally been found again. But he
said he wasn't sure about the future. Graveyard archeology can be expensive
and the site has been ravaged by heavy equipment.
"We don't know now if they're going to be able to match up the stones with
the burial sites," he said. "I don't know if we'll ever get the whole thing
put back together."

Gina,
Try Barnstable, MA 1920 census and earlier, I'm sure you'll be glad you

Roll 679 Book 1, page 111b age 32, a boarder. Of interest here living next
door to Warren is an Everett Chase living with his grandfather & family -
George Cahoon.
Good luck

Does anyone know anything about the ancestry of Harry Chase?
http://www.millicentlibrary.org/campbel2.htm
Harry Chase, born in 1853 in Woodstock, Vt., was one of the greatest marine
artists of his time and many summers he spent running in and out of the
harbors about here, on his yacht "Bonnie" sketching and painting. Nonquitt
and New Bedford knew him well and several of his paintings are owned
here. "The Homeward Bound Whale" isa well known picture of his and "Making
Port", now in possession of Ned Stanley, is famous. Chase had studied in
Germany, Holland and France under celebrated artists but came here from St.
Louis. Just how far his skill would have carried him we cannot tell, for he
became insane and died when only forty.

Jeffrey,
Don't know anything about the artist Harry Chase's ancestry. However I've
seen his name as Henry (Harry) Chase, so you might keep that in mind when
searching.

Hello CHASE List:
I am trying to track down a birth certificate for Nancy C. Chase (from daughters birth certificate). Her father may be William Chase J. [possible from review of Nancy Chase birth cards in Vermont]. Mother is unknown.
Her birthplace is reported to be Berlin, Vermont per the death certificate. She was only 31 years old when she died on 27 March 1866 (her daughter's second birthday) in Middlesex, Vermont. Is suppose to be buried in the North Branch Cemetery in Middlesex [could not find gravestone on last trip east]. She was the second wife of Asa S. Sanders and married 12 Dec 1860 in Berlin, Vermont. Her daughter is Arlette Susan Sanders.
Neither Berlin nor Middlesex Records have this information. I also checked this list's archives. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
