Dear Mr. Clark:
The genealogy of Aquila descendants that you listed appears to be
consistent with the detailed information contained in the 1928
Chase/Chamberlain
"Descendants of Aquila and Thomas Chase", which is considered to be the
"bible" for those lines down through the seven generations that it
documents. (It does have some errors, but they are very few.) The
discrepancy that you noted between your list and the Chase/Chace data
base, which lists a Sarah Hovey as the wife of Thomas Chase, is, in fact, an
error in the data base, and from all confirmation that I can find, should
indeed
be Sarah Stevens. (The only Sarah Hovey associated with any of the Aquila
lines was the spouse of a Wells Chase in the mid-seventeen hundreds.)
The information in the Chase/Chace data base has been compiled from
individual family trees that were submitted by a number of Chase/Chace
researchers who documented their own particular line, and because of the
sheer
volume of data it has not been possible to verify individual entries.
Errors are corrected when noted, and we shall do so here. It also should
perhaps
be noted that since individual researchers often are interested only in
their direct family line, siblings may not be included and only
one child documented for a family.
Dick Chase
