As I understand the situation, the DNA from those descended from William has
very little resemblance to the DNA of those descended from Aquila and
Thomas. Therefore, it is unlikely that there is any relationship between William
and the two brothers existed unless the common ancestor was from a very
distant unknown past.
Rex Chase
Hello All,
Being that I am a William descendent, I have not spent as much time
investigating Aquila and Thomas. As such, I have a few questions for those
of you who are more knowledgable about these two gentlemen.
1) Do you agree that Aquila and Thomas were brothers?
2) Does your research indicate that Aquila of Chesham, Buckinghamshire,
England, was the father of these two men?
3) Are there any popularly held family legends which have been disproven?
4) Does anyone have any evidence of Aquila's or Thomas's family marrying
into William's family?
5) How many instances of the spelling Chace have you found in the Aquila and
Thomas families?
Thanks in advance for any answers which are forthcoming.
Cheers,
Jeffrey Chace

Napa Valley Swept By a Costly Fire
NAPA (Napa Co.), July 6 - A fire swept over the hills and through the grain
fields in Napa Valley Tuesday afternoon, completely surrounding and doing
considerable damage to Stag's Leap, the beautiful country place of Horace B.
CHASE. Although the residence and principal buildings of the Chase ranch
were saved there was considerable loss, consisting of fifty tons of hay,
10,000 grapes stakes, twenty cords of wood and over two miles of fence. The
house where the ranch hands lives was completely destroyed.
The fire is still racing but is being fought by the farmers whose places
are endangered, besides many neighboring ranchers. Pat DOWNEY and John
CLAUSSEN also met with heavy loss. Considerable apprehension is felt for the
schoolhouse, and also for the Napa Bank ranch. Yesterday afternoon the fire
had spread to the Valley.
Derek,
I feel that Chipman Chase did not come from Yorkshire, England, but rather
he descended from the Chases who lived in Cornwallis, Nova Scotia.
Chipman's brother is likely Reuben Chase who married Famicha Bower Kerr,
daughter of Ebenezer Kerr and Caroine Lavinia Gesner. In Cumberland County,
Nova Scotia, you will find the following marriage record, transcibed by Don
Lewis:
http://nsgna.ednet.ns.ca/dl/dlfiles.html
CHASE REUBEN 67 W UPPER LAKEVILLE SACKVILLE JETHRO ISABEL
1 1 1880
KEN DANICHA B 35 S PARRSBORO PARRSBORO EBENEZER CAROLINE
Note: Don Lewis incorrectly transcribed Famicha Kerr's name as "Danicha
Ken."
This record indicates Reuben's parents were Jethro Chase (1786- ?) and
Isabel Unknown, so I have assigned these; parents to Chipman as well.
Jethro Chase was the youngest son of Jethro Chase (1746 - ?) and Dorothy
"Dolly" Cone of Cornwallis, Nova Scotia.
Chipman also had a son Jethro Chase (1854-1911) who married Martha Jane
Richardson.
Jethro Chase and Dorothy "Dolly" Cone are named in the document "Some of the
Descendants of William Chase," compiled by George Walter Chamberlain for
John Carroll Chase, Hazen P. Chase, Holyoke, Mass.,1983 :
129. JETHRO5 CHASE (Stephen,4 Joseph,3 William,2 William1), of
Cornwallis, N. S., born at Freetown 13 June 1746, died at
Cornwallis. He married, 15 Dec. 1768, DOROTHY CONE,
daughter of Reuben and Nem[sic] Cone.
Children, born at Cornwallis:
i. STEPHEN,6 b. in 1769; d. 15 Dec. 1769.
ii. STEPHEN, of Cornwallis, b. 22 Nov. 1770; d. about 1840, aged
70 years; m. 7 Jan. 1796 ALICE WOODWORTH, b. 9 Aug. 1776,
probably daughter of John and Submit (Newcomb) Wood-worth
of King's County, N. S. (Eaton's History of King's
County, p. 878.)
Children:
1. Submit,7 b. 10 Oct. 1796.
2. John Woodworth, b. 26 Aug. 1798.
3. Alice, b. 14 June 1800.
4. Jane Sarah, b. 6 June 1802.
5. Mary Ann.
6. Stephen Albert, b. 19 Jan. 1816.
7. Elizabeth.
iii. ESTHER, b. 15 Aug. 1772; m. 2 Mar. 1803 ABIJAH PARSONS.
iv. REUBEN, b. 12 Aug. 1774.
v. JOHN, b. 10 Sept. 1776.
vi. HANNAH, b. and d. 10 Mar. 1778.
vii. BENJAMIN, b. 26 Aug. 1780; m. (???).
Child:
1. Benjamin,7 living at Sackville, N. B., about 1865.
viii. EXPERIENCE (twin), b. 11 Nov. 1782.
ix. SAMUEL (twin), b. 11 Nov. 1782.
x. DOROTHY, b. 22 Nov. 1783; m. JAMES KINSMAN.
xi. JETHRO, b. 12 Nov. 1786. <<<<<<<<<<<<
Also notice that Benjamin, the son's of Benjamin( Jethro Jr's brother) was
named as living in Sackville in this document. Also five of the
granddaughter of Stephen Jr. (Jethro Jr's brother) moved to Sackville:
Alice Chase married William Fawcett
Jane Sarah Chase married Thomas Wheaton
Elizabeth Chase married James Ayer
Mary Ann Chase married Bedford Boutenhouse Barnes
Rebecca Chase married Barnhill Cahill
From documents I have read, the Chases frequently travelled back and forth
by boat between Sackville, NB and Cornwallis, NS.
Hope this helps,
Linda Chase

Subject: [CHASE-L] Chipman Chase
Does anyone know the name Chipman Chase ? and is there any way of
discovering his birth about 1820, probably in Yorkshire, ENG?
Maybe they had a census near that time. He did come to North America some
time after 1820 and died here.
Thanks!

The Chase Family, in the Schenectady history site (below), has my branch - Lt. Isaac Chase through Elizabeth Chase and Luman Whitcombs' daughter Augusta Helen (my gg grandmother).
I don't know about Rochester, Schenectady, or Robinson though.

Hi All,
At first I was looking for a John Robinson but now believe his name to be Charles. In any event he was in business in Rochester, NY and the company at one point made the highly prized Robinson chairs in the mid 1800's, I believe. He came here fr. who knows where abt. 1825 and ended up going into a partnership w/the business w/my gggfather, Daniel Wood Chase. He died shortly thereafter which I believe was about 1865.
Anyyyyyy help anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated....
Thanks so very much!

Hi,
If anyone has access to Heritage through their library, which can also
be accessed from your home, you can click on publications, type in the
word Seven and the book will come up. You can copy as little or as
much of the book as you want. I mention Heritage Quest as it is a
free service provided by many public libraries and is the only way the
site can be accessed. You can also get census records and Rev. War
papers on your ancestors through this site. I live in a rural county
and asked our library to get this service and within 6 months, we had
it.

For those who may be interested in his life, the page at the address below
was prepared by William Eugene Chase before he died. William, you may
recall, organized the Chase reunion at Salt Lake City in 2000. I enjoyed
meeting William, and thought of him as a friend through correspondence with
him.

On Sat., June 4, 2005 the Annual Meeting for The Flagon and Trencher Society: Descendants of Colonial Tavern Keepers was held at the Pirates’ House in Savannah Georgia. My wife, some friends that live not far (in Ga.), and I attended to represent my tavern owner ancestors, including Lt. Isaac Chase (son of Aquila’s brother Thomas Chase), who held the first tavern license in Martha’s Vineyard, granted March 26, 1677-8. We had a wonderful time, and each year the organization chooses a different building from the 18th century (or earlier) to hold the meeting.
This has been a very educational experience, and lots of FUN to boot! Their first meeting, in the 1960’s, was held at the historic Fraunces Tavern in NYC, owned by the Sons of the Revolution in the State of New York, of which I am also a member. Unfortunately, I was too young to attend that one (and didn’t even yet know about Isaac Chase LOL). Like other taverns in the colonies, Fraunces was also a place for holding secret meetings of the Sons of Liberty and other Patriot groups - and George Washington gave his farewell address to his officers in Frauces in 1783.
