Hello All,
I ran across a most interesting Chase today and was wondering if any of
you know more about him.
During World War I, Lowell Thomas was asked by the Secretary of the
Interior of the United States to go to Europe with a cameraman to record
scenes of the war to increase the interest of Americans at home about
what was occuring across the ocean. The cameraman who accompanied
Thomas was Harry A. Chase. Together, they made history (literally).
Not only did Thomas and Chase record scenes of battle in Europe, but
they headed for the Middle East and in Jerusalem met TE Lawrence, better
known as Lawrence of Arabia. Thomas and Chase filmed battles in the
Arab revolt against the Turks and photographed TE Lawrence dressed in
his Arabian garb.
After the war, venturing further afield, Thomas and Chase travelled the
Khyber Pass into Forbidden Afganistan and were even granted an audience
with His Majesty Amanullah Khan, Ameer of Afghanistan, King of Kabul and
Light of the World. Again, Harry Chase was there to record it all on
film.
What more I know of Harry A. Chase is that he ended up in Cleveland,
Ohio, at the end of his career and may have had a daughter named Tillie.
Does anybody know any more about this intriguing character? Birthdate,
Parents, Grandparents, etc?
Cheers,
Jeffrey Chace

This is mostly a matter of curiosity, but:
I was reading the Autobiography of Lowell Thomas the other day and, he
mentions Harry Chase many times.
Harry for one thing was the first (in America) to operate a cinema
machine.
"He had begun in the days when the film ran through the projector and
collected in a basket on the floor, to be rewound by hand. He fixed
that.
Now, even in an armory, he fills the largest screen with brilliant
pictures,
a not inconsiderable factor in our success. He could also grind his
own
lenses, take his cameras to pieces after a desert sandstorm and banish
the
last particle of dust before putting them back together"
He was considered the world's foremost projection engineer.
He is described as "poker faced and silent "
hmmmmm, I know some Chase like that
His wife's name was Emma. At the time of writing the book, printed,
1977,
Lowell says Harry had been dead fifty years.
Anyone have any idea where this Harry Chase fits in?
For you kids: Lowell Thomas was a world renown documentation and radio
broadcaster. He had the longest run continuing run in broadcasting
history.
For a quick review of the past century events, with human insights and
"appreciation" for "new" technology, what a book to read! Better than
any

Jeffery,
I have a Harry Chase in my family tree:
- Born abt 31 Mar 1888 in OH
- Died 5 Feb 1976 in Springfield, OH
- In the 1930 census, he was living with his mother in Springfield, OH and
was working as an electrician for a motor manufacturing co. No marriages
were listed.
Doesn't sound like a match, but never can tell.

From The New York Times Book Review
'The Family Tree': Genealogy Is Destiny
By PATRICIA T. O'CONNER
Published: January 23, 2005
THE wacky English family is a venerable literary institution, and this
first novel from a gifted British writer has all the makings of a farcical
romp. But eccentricity is one thing and dysfunction another. The laughs in
''The Family Tree'' -- and there are many -- have a way of becoming
uncomfortable. It's soon obvious that what Carole Cadwalladr has begun as
a comic novel isn't going to end that way.
The storyteller is Rebecca Monroe, a 30-ish, part-time academic looking
back on three generations of her family's history. Chronologically, the
novel has three settings -- the 1940's, the 1970's and the present -- with
episodes from the different periods shuffled like cards in a deck. Rebecca
relies on written records and ''my own inquiries and investigations'' for
what she hasn't witnessed: ''I admit that I may embellish, just a touch,
but essentially these are the true facts, as I know them.''
Rebecca is married to a superstar scientist, Alistair Betterton, a
behavioral geneticist whose good looks and glib tongue have made him a
popular talk-show guest. She's recently left her consulting job to work on
a Ph.D. thesis about popular culture in the 1970's. ''We're one of those
couples you meet and think, Well I'd never have put them together.'' Can't
argue with that. If there's a gene for obnoxiousness, Alistair has it.
For him, DNA is everything; culture is irrelevant. But ''to understand my
story, you need the cultural references,'' Rebecca explains, helpfully
sprinkling the narrative with footnotes about 1970's television, both
British and American: ''Dallas,'' ''Sale of the Century,'' ''Charlie's
Angels,'' ''The Waltons'' -- all of it ''nostalgic rubbish,'' according to
her husband. ''When people ask Alistair what I do, he says I watch
'Coronation Street.' '' He, on the other hand, does genuine research --
''proper academic work.'' For Alistair, luck is immaterial; chance, ''just
a word expressing ignorance.''
There are almost enough missing pieces in the Monroe genealogy to make up
a separate family tree. And many of them, it seems, can be traced to
grandmother Alicia, a working-class girl from Yorkshire. There's her
marriage to a decidedly weird first cousin. There's her affair with a
Jamaican airman with skin ''the color of a Callard & Bowser toffee.'' And
there's her class-conscious daughter, Doreen, who has a tendency to come
seriously unglued.
Cadwalladr has an uncanny talent for mixing hilarity and pain, for making
the reader laugh and wince at the same time. Eight-year-old Rebecca, for
example, asks awkward questions at the most inopportune moments: ''What's
incest?'' ''What's an 'affair'?'' Why does her sister, Tiffany, have brown
eyes ''if all our grandparents have blue eyes?'' And Doreen, comic though
she seems, isn't just another eccentric, screwball mom, Lucille Ball with
a cleanliness fetish. In perhaps the funniest but most wrenching scene in
the book, family and guests gather to munch sausage rolls and watch the
wedding of Charles and Diana on the BBC. (''She's fluffed the vows!'') A
shocking secret is served up along with the buffet, and the party comes to
a violent end. Mum locks herself in the bathroom and never comes out. ''My
70's,'' Rebecca explains, ''ended on July 29, 1981. The day my mother
died.''
The multigenerational snippets are woven together as intricately as
strands of DNA. Which brings us back to Alistair and his gene studies.
Science, he says, needs volunteers -- so naturally he volunteers his wife.
''It's for a good cause,'' he tells her. Once a month, Rebecca trundles
off to Alistair's lab for blood tests, examinations and interviews by a
team of researchers. ''Why me?'' she asks. He doesn't say, but it's not
hard to guess. We know he's interested in mitochondrial DNA, which is
transmitted along maternal lines. Eventually, Rebecca puts the pieces
together: ''My grandmother, my mother and me; fruit flies all.''
''The Family Tree'' is engrossing, its humorous passages deftly tinged
with melancholy, as when Rebecca recalls the time Alistair told her about
the hedge sparrow: ''The dunnock. . . . It mates for life. 'And then they
discovered DNA testing,' said Alistair. 'And found that 10 to 15 percent
of all dunnock offspring are not biologically related to the father. The
tabloids had a field day with it.' '' Rebecca tries and fails to imagine
hanky-panky among the dunnocks: ''I'd always assumed the animal kingdom
was above that kind of thing.''
For the most part, Cadwalladr's plot juggling doesn't get in the way. But
by the end of ''The Family Tree,'' the relentless rewinding and
fast-forwarding becomes a distraction. In the final section, a blizzard of
short, choppy scenes set in the present, the book loses its focus. And the
recurring tree imagery is an unnecessary elbow in the ribs: ''I've been
thinking about the trees again. You remember. The trees in the back
garden. . . . It's like a family tree, of course. I don't know why I
didn't think of that before.''
No matter. This is an ambitious debut by a novelist with a wicked sense of
humor. I look forward to Cadwalladr's next book. With any luck, it'll be a
comic one.
Patricia T. O'Conner is the author of three books about language and
writing, ''Woe Is I,'' ''Words Fail Me'' and ''You Send Me'' (written with
Stewart Kellerman).

We have a new person who is having the DNA test. Before we get his results I
would like to know if his ancestors ring a bell with anyone:
Great Great Grandfather was born about 1795 in New York State. He removed to
Gallia County, Ohio about 1818. He married Anna Garlick on 27 Feb 1821. He
died in Putman County, VA about 1849. Family records say that his father's name
may have been Benjamin--but no documentation.
Children of Seth and Anna Garlick Chase were: Elizabeth, Malinda, Daniel,
Seth, William, Benjamin, Nancy & Joseph.
If anyone has any information on this family please let me know. Thanks,
Charlie Scott
Anyone have a clue about the parents and/or siblings of this Jacob Chase?
Jacob CHASE was born 2 Aug 1812 in St. Lawrence Co. NY near Ogdensburg. In 1845 he married Nancy BABCOCK in Rochester, Monroe Co. IL. About 1848 they moved to DeKalb Co. IL settling near the town of Genoa. Jacob CHASE died in Dekalb Co. 25 Nov 1872 and is buried in the Genoa Cemetery there. Nancy died Jul 1901 and is also buried in Genoa. Their children were: 1) Jacob Jr. born NY 1847 died in Civil War; 2) Alonzo b. 1849 died young; 3) Emily b 19 Mar 1852 (My Great, Great Grandmother) m. Albert BRESEE. She died in DeKalb Co. IL Dec 1883; 4) Charles b. Apr 1853 m. Carrie Schairer; 5) Frederick b. 1856; 6) William b. 1857 . I think he m. an Alice TURNER and they lived in CA. He died after 1930 Los Angeles census; 7) Frank b. 1859 died young; 8) Mary b. 1864; 9) Hattie b. 1866; 10) Nellie b. 1868.

Hi Everyone,
Would like to hear from anyone who has Chase relatives in FL. Am trying to find a John Terry Chase who submitted Chase papers to the Library of Congress in 1981 or a descendant of his. Any Chases you might know of would be appreciated.
Thanks,

In the Biographical Sketches of Spice Valley Township,Lawrence County,Indiana I found this. They are not mine.
H.H.CHASE,a native of the Green Mountain State was born October 11,1836,and is one of the family born to B.and S.(HOWARD)CHASE: ALBERT,DAVID H.,HOLLIS H., LIZZIE S.,CLEMENT B. and L.W. The parents were natives of the Old Dominion,and of English and Scotch descent.Hollis H. lived with his parents until his twenty second year,receiving an academical education. At that age he started West,and for atime was employed at school teaching in Washington and Daviess Counties. On the breaking out of the war he volunteered his services for the supression of the rebellion,and was made a member of Company K,Fourty Ninth Regiment,Indiana Infantry,early in 1861. Owing to disability he was honorably discharged at Indianapolis in 1863,since when he has been engaged in agricultural pursuits,and now owns a good farm of 187 acres.July 15,1862,he was united in wedlock with Miss SUSAN WILLIAMS,who was born September 24,1837,a daughter of RICHARD and ABIGAIL (KERN) WILLIAMS. Five children were born!
to this union and were named ABBIE S.,BERNIECE ( deceased), L.S., LIZZIE B.,and ANNIE F. The parents and oldest daughter are members of the Christian Church at Mount Olive.
Hope this helps some one.
