PS
Linda, I don't see any Thomas Chase except a Thomas S. Chase of Chatham, NY which would be fr. Stephen's son Benjamin's brother Cornelius Chase. However, I will read it over to be certain, but this is written over other writing and almost impossible to read. All I can really make out is Thomas S. Chase.
Barb
Barb,
I don't descend from Stephen Chase as far as I tell, but I have collected
lots of info on his family. My ancestor was Thomas Chase (born abt 1792
probably in New England. He married Elizabeth Legge in Nova Scotia in 1822
and died there in 1868. He went by the alias LINNELL (also spelled Linnel or
Lennel) when he married. Some have theorized he was pressed into British
navy around the time of the war of 1812 and jumped ship. Because deserters
were often hung, he changed his surname to avoid detection. Later in his
life, he returned to Chase surname and so did his ancestors.
Following are some notes I have on Stephen Chase:
Millicent Submit Chase wrote a document in 1936 about the descendants of
Stephen Chase of Cornwallis, Nova Scotia. She wrote that Stephen Chase and
his three sons Stephen Jr., Joseph, and Jethro went to Nova Scotia.
"Apparently father and sons divided forces - for in the Town Book of
Liverpool, Stephen Chase has a grant of land, in the Township, but he never
occupied it and his name does not appear there again. As there was a
community of Quakers near there interested in whale fishing, he may have
been induced by them to go there, but he did not remain and soon joined his
three sons in Cornwallis, whose lands were granted to them in 1763, and in
the year following Stephen Chase Sr. received his Grant. The Grant is
recorded in the Crown Lands Book. Others to receive lands at the same time
were Porter, Cove, Kinsman, and Blackmer. In The assessment roll for
Cornwallis 1765, appears the following:
L. S.
Jethro & Joseph Chase 4 4
Stephen Chase Jr, 4 4
Stephen Chase 4 4
Assessors: William West, Isaac Bigelow, Handley Chipman
In common with many of the early settlers - the Chase men chose the North
Mountain land for their home lace and tho there is no exact record of it
found, it is a family story that the original homestead was near
what is now known as Halls Harbour and that at least three generations were
born there - and removed to the Valley lands between 1825 - 1830.
In the Chipman Collection, Kings County records in the Provincial Archives
of Nova Scotia, there is this reference in some road survey papers: "1813
folder - A road leading from a certain place called Sheffields in Cornwallis
to a place called Chase's Harbour." No map in existence shows any place of
that name, nor is any other reference to be found.
In 1771 papers there is a mention of Chase's Grist mill - the following
letter or petition in all its original spelling, mentions a mill, persumably
the family property:
"To the Justices of The Court of General sessions
These are to Informe that Isaac Bigelow surveyor of highways for the year
past hath neglected the highways so that there is no passing with horse nor
teme in the Road on the North sid of Little Habitant River up to the mill
greatly to the prejudice of the Inhabitants and a material road for all on
that sid of the s. river. and likewise he hath neglected one of the the
biggest roads in the town namely the mill road so that it is not passabell
many times and at best very bad passing and in danger many times of life and
many complints have been made to him, the said souiever, but to no purpos.
when there us inhabitants that not worked on the high ways the years past.
Witnesses William Canidays. Amos Sheffield. Isaac Bigelow Ju. Stephen
Harrington and many more beside the nou inhabiing population by which
neglects the inhabitants hath suffered much as you may be informed by Peter
Wickwire and sseveral more Grand
Jurors of our town, I respect and remane your friend
Stephen Chase
Cornwallis May ye 25 - 1767"
At the time of the granting of land, everyone was given a certain proportion
of meadow upland, etc. and it was to this that Stephen Chase, Born 1770,
came and built, about 1830, on the present (1936) Chase homestead.
The following is from <http://www.rootsweb.com/~nskings/placenames3.html>
SHEFFIELD MILLS
This rural area is located on the Upper Habitant Creek in central Nova
Scotia. It was named for the Sheffield family who were early settlers. Mason
and Frank A. Sheffield acquired land here on what was the site of Stephen
Chase and Company Mills, or Mills Montique, probably in the late 18th
century.
The following minute is found in the registrar's office in Cornwallis:
"William Newcomb and his Phebe his wife went to Lebanon in the
County
of Windham-- sold some of their lands, after they went back, to
Capt.
Ratchford, some to Benjamin Newcomb. He gave to Stephen Chase &
Abigail
(Porter) his wife half of his farm lot-- reference being had to
Proprietors' records-- Signed a Deed in Lebanon, County of Windham,
in
1771."
William married Phebe Porter on 19 Mar 1761 in Cornwallis N.S. Phoebe was
the sister of Abigail Porter (Stephen's wife).

******************************************
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,

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,

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!
Hi Everyone,
I now have a copy of a letter sent to me by the Library of Congress and written by Stephen Chase4 of Wm., Wm2. Jospeh, Stephen4, to his grandson Stephen SLADE. It says at the top "Cornwalis in Nov. 22, of 12th mo. 1768," and begins,
"Well beloved Grandson Stephen Slade, offfer my kind love unto thee to thy father and all friends. I would like them to know I am well in health as all my Children likewise hoping these may find thee and all friends in the same enjoyment." END OF lst PARAGRAPH..
It's a 3 1/2 pg. legal size letter and signed by Stephen CHACE not Chase. It says it is "transcribed by Susan Slade .....1822.
Note spelling of SLADE besides CHACE. Also, it would appear that SUSAN SLADE would probably be Stephen Slade's wife or else Stephe C's grandaughter...(doubtful but I just noticed this and didn't take time to figure it out yet timewise!). He's asking Stephen S. to come to Nova Scotia as his other sons are not interested. Stephen C.says they don't want to come . It may be because they have heard of the "Earthquake, the thunder and a mighty swishing wind which hath overset the ship of reason and made them tremble for fear of (sinking???) under the censure of the Whirlwind." . He says he needs help with his farms, "As I am destitute of help & none of my Children will come and take charge of my farms, I shall expect thow wilt come and see me and I will pay the portage??? back as soon as thou shalt be disposed to go," etc. He says he will give him a good farm He tells him he will do by him as he did by Benjamin Chase, (my ancestor), and then it looks like "and in the City !
or possibly another name", David Baker and Comfort.
Looks like a David Bsuch or he means David B. such, but I can't tell what it says for it's on the fold of the paper.....!
He speaks as though Stephen Slade, parents and all of his Chase children are in New England at this time.
He says, "I dare not give thee an account of a crop Jethro had this season past for I think it would not be believed and would be like casting pearls??? before swine, etc. It was so wonderful that the like here was never known and the land was all wild full of - - - -. ( - - - are what is there in the letter) Oh come and see for thyself thou art now young. Now is thy time, thou shalt ???????????
live to see the here & be rewarded for coming to a little.?????'s "............the previous phrase as it's so hard to make out. "I shall reward Asa if he never comes again for coming and shall not want any of it much longer but I cannot do without more help. I have now abt. 20 acres of grain in the ground of my land & hope to put in 10 to 15 more in the spring if I have help and have more hay to cut than I think my farm can cut in your neckland????????? and how can I that am so old and impaired by hard labour for my Children expect to go through it all with only two small lads and my mills also to take care of." ETC.
This is 1768 and when I look at his children, I do not see who the 2 small lads !!! would be. Would have to be by 2nd w. or POSSIBLY by 3rd whom he m. in 1764 and they would be MIGHTY SMALL......!
Other papers show Esther spelling her name Chace. There's a list of his land holdings in Cornwallis. There are papers signed in 1822 & 23 by some of the family apparently laying claim to these holdings.......those apparently not dispersed and naming Attorneys and signed by family
members, dt. Esther CHACE before she was m., and Grandchildren Stephen CHACE, Joseph CHACE and Clark CHACE who it says are the sons of Asa Chace (deceased).
If anyone has any info, I'd sure appreciate it...........!
I've put the line below......and in a separate email I will send some additional info on the family.

Hello all. I am new to the Chase mailing list. I have enjoyed reading
past messages and have found it interesting that most of the North American
Chases have descended from so few.
I am descended from, I believe, William(England) - William(England to US in
1630) - Joseph (Mass.US) - Job (RI, US) - Jonathan (Mass?) - Job (Mass US) -
Cromwell (?US) - Jonathan (?US, who came to Canada with his cotton mill
expertise.) Jonathan and his wife Ellen Louisa Perry had 4 children, one
Joseph who was born in the US and the other 3 born in Ontario Canada. This
Joseph is my ggrandfather. The name Chase has died out for us, with only
females as descendants. Joseph had a brother George, which I know little
about, and he may still have descendants in Canada.
I would greatly appreciate any contacts with relatives from either side of
the border. My great aunt, still living, at the age of 98, has provided
most of my information. I would love to hear from anyone interested.
Pat from Canada

Hello All,
I have a bit of a mystery on my hands and am hoping that someone can help. I
have been attempting to trace the lineage of William Merritt Chase, the
artist. His grandfather, also William Chase, was apparently born in
Virginiain 1776, and so I have been in
Virginia doing research. Since I came to a bit of a dead-end on William
Chase (the grandfather), I decided to see what other Chases I could find
having settled in Virginia and discovered a William Chase (also spelled
Chace) having arrived in Virginia in 1652.
Now, in the Accomack County, Virginia Order Books there are four records of
William's age and none of them agree. From a deposition of 22 May 1663,
William is recorded as being 25 years old which would make his year of birth
about 1638. Later on 18 August 1663, another deposition records him being
"about 28 years," which would put his year of birth around 1636. Just a few
months later on 13 December 1663 William is recorded as being "about 30
years." This would make his year of birth around1633. And later still
William shows up in yet another deposition from 16 April 1673 as "aged about
50 years," which would put his year of birth around 1623. So, in any case,
1623 is the earliest he would have been born and 1638 the latest. But that
is a 15 year difference!
William Chase is recorded as having been "brought over" in 1652 by Mr. Tho.
Purifye and Mrs. Temperence Reppitt. Perhaps he indentured himself to them
to pay for his passage. But, where did he come from? It doesn't seem
possible that he was from the family of William, the Elder, as William, the
Younger, was born approximately 1622 and stayed in Massachusetts until his
death as far as I know. William, the Younger, also had a son named William,
but as far as I know, he married Sarah Sherman in Rhode Island in 1647 and
William Chase of Accomack is recorded as having married Sarah Hewitt 16
October 1660 in Northampton County, Virginia. William of Accomack apparently
could not have come from the Thomas or Aquila lines either, unless the
records I found on the net recording Thomas Chase having had a first wife
named Martha with whom he supposedly had a son name William in 1636 are
true. Therefore, the only conclusion I can come up with is that William of
Accomack was "brought over" from England making this a completely different
Chase family than either William's or Aquila's and Thomas's. Having arrived
in 1652, this also makes him a very early immigrant. And, as I have not
found any other Chase families in Virginia from the time period of William's
birth (William Merrit Chase's purported grandfather) in 1776, I would
venture to say that William of Accomack is quite likely his ancestor.
Here are the vital statistics I have on William of Accomack:
- Born between 1623 and 1638 (talk about labor pains!!).
- Arrived in Virginia 1652.
- Married Sarah Hewitt 16 October 1660 in Northampton County, Virginia
.
- Later married Mary ________ before 3 February 1685/86.
- William had three children as far as I can tell – John, William and
Margaret.
- William owned a considerable amount of land in Virginia. In 1663 he
was granted 300 acres for transporting 6 people. In 1666 he was
granted 650 acres for transporting 13 persons (so these two records taken
together indicate that the grant for transporting people was 50 acres per
person transported – where they were going to or coming from I have no
idea.)
- Most likely William was the father of Mary's daughter Margaret.
- Had a son with either Sarah or Mary who he named William.
- There is a John Chace who is named in a lawsuit along with William
on 11 February 1684/85.
- John Chace shows up in the tithable rolls for the first time in
1690, which if that means he was 21, this makes his likely year of birth
1669.
- In 1685, Mary Chace request for passage to be granted to John Chace.
- Therefore, I believe John was also William's child.
- William Chase of Accomack died in 1685.
- There is a William Chase who died in Accomack around 1737. This is
most likely William of Accomack's son listed above.
- If William Merritt Chase is indeed descended from William of
Accomack, then he descends either through John or William. If his
ancestor is William who died in 1737, then there is a gap of at least one
generation between that William and the man who is purported to be William
Merritt Chase's Great Grandfather, James Chase.
- There is a James Chase who died in Louisa County Virginia around
1790. James was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. He was married to
Annis ________ and they had at least three children. One of which is
purportedly William Chase the purported grandfather of William Merritt
Chase.
- There is a Will Chase who married Patience Goodrich in Louisa
Countyin 1790. If
this is William Chase, William Merritt's purported Grandfather, then he got
married when he was 14, which I find unlikely.
- William Merritt Chase's parents were David Chase and Sarah Swaim.
Can anybody add anything to this?
I have never found anything of significance written or published about the
family of William Chase of Accomack. Is his indeed a completely "new" Chase
family? Did he arrived in Virginia from England in 1652 or from another
colony in North America? If he came from England, from where in England?
Oh, yes, and by the way, there was also a Huedy Chase who showed up in
Virginia in 1652 and was brought over by Tho. Cartwright of Lower Norfolk
Co. Virginia. Perhaps I need to look into that as well.

Can anyone verify that Moses Chase and Sarah Greenlaw are parents of Levi,
William, Mary, Sarah and Elmira? They hailed from NY state. If correct I
would like info on their ancesters.
Hi All,
Does anyone know if there is any truth to the assertion I have found at
some websites that Thomas Chase, husband of Elizabeth Philbrick, had been
married earlier to a Martha and with whom he had a few children one of whom
being William supposedly born in 1636 or thereabouts?

location(s) of Moses Chase and Alice Sherman, his wife. Moses was the son of
Joseph Chase, who was the son of William Chase, who was the son of William,
the immigrant who arrived in 1630. All I really know about Moses is that he
married Alice Sherman on March 25, 1742, in Swansea, Mass. Other than that,
information on him is sparse. Perhaps there is someone out there who knows a
bit more about Moses and Alice?
Cheers,
Jeffrey Chace
