Hi All,
Just wondering if there are any Chases out there with the following
surnames: McMaster, Cary,Keep, Manderson. If so, you may well tie in to my
Chase line.
I figure it never hurts to take a chance!
Barb
Thankyou Kathy,
What an intriquing story. I am very excited about our trip, and hope to fit
in as much as possible. As well as the Chase family, I have ties to the
Mowry's, Wheelers and Whites of the Mayflower. So, it could be a packed
week.
Pat

Hi Pat,
If you have some time while in Providence...take the I-95 north past Boston. When you get near Danvers you can stay on 95 or take the more scenic Rte 1 up to Newburyport. You'll need a full day.
Newburyport is one of the towns that Aquila Chase and Annie Wheeler were early settlers in. Newburyport itself is worth going to see. It's lovely.
If you go to the Historical Society there...they can give you a map...and there is an 18th centruy building that stands I think...at the corner of Federal St and the road that goes along the river.
This was the site where Aquila and Annie first lived in Newburyport. The original house is of course gone. They also had a 5 acre planting lot further up in town. I don't have that street address handy. I have things packed away because I , myself, am moving back to New England this Fall.
But...if you go up to High St ...and go left on High St... toward Newbury...which is I think Rte 1a....follow it along past the turn on the left for Plum Island...stay on 1a...past the Meeting House on the right...CAUTION: there is a graveyard across from the meeting house...that is NOT the one you want. Keep going...you will see a village green on the right hand side...keep going and looking off to the right....further up the road...you will find the "Old Settlers Burial Ground". There is a sign and a wall and it's all overgrown. It is here that Aquila and Annie are believed to be buried. There is no marker so no one knows for sure....but it's a cool place to go.
Then back track to Newburyport...it's only a few miles.....and get on Rte 1...and go over the river and go 5 miles up the road to Hampton. There is a green in the town center...not at the beach...but in the town that was where all the original houses were. They're gone now...but there are markers there. There on the green are rocks with the names of the like 20 families that settled Hampton. There is a rock for the Chase families of Aquila and his brother Thomas. If you get lost ask where the Historical Society is...because it's right at the green.
The Hampton Green is also cool because it is the site of a ghost story. There was a woman named Eunice Cole. She is known as the witch of Hampton. She was a kind of cantankerous old lady who fought a lot with her neighbors...and the town folk of Hampton weren't the friendliest lot to begin with...so of course they started accusing her of being a witch. Goody at one point lived out on Island Path near the beach...and made her living selling food to the fisherman as they headed out to sea. Well...some of the fisherman got sick...and Goody got accused of witchcraft because they got sick. There were numerous other accusations...but that was one I found interesting. Goody was in and out of jail for many years. She had no children to protect her and was finally let out. After her husband died, she was named a ward of the town...and the towns people were ordered by the court to to take care of her because she had no family. There was a little bit of justice in that..I think.
Anyway, she lived in a shack there at the village green...and when she died ...they were afraid to go in and check on her....and when they finally did.. they dragged her body out...and drove a stake into her heart...to peg her spirit to the earth...and buried her in a shallow grave near the green. No one knows where.
But they say her ghost walks the green. :0)
And how does she tie into Aquila and Annie? Well...she sold food to the fisherman...one of whom was probably Aquila...because he lived on the bank of the Hampton river almost directly across from Island Path. There is NO evidence to say he or Thomas accused her of anything....and the people who accused Goody...also arrested Aquila for violating the Sabbath...by picking the peas.

Pat,
If you are going to be in Providence, make sure to go by the Rhode Island
Historical Society on Hope Street. Wonderful collection - lots
of Chace/Chase material. Quaker Records from the late 1600s through the
late 1800s from most of New England. In Fall River there is also an
Historical Society, but in order to get into the archives you must make an
appointment. Good stuff down there. Almost all years of old Fall River city
directories. It was fun to look up addresses of folks who used to live
there - Miller Chace for example - and go and see if their houses were still
standing. Miller's was not, but George Albert Chace's was and others in the
area. The Lizzie Borden House in Fall River is worth a look. It is now a
bed and breakfast and you can actually stay overnight in the bedroom where
Lizzie's stepmother was murdered! The owners also give tours. In Boston,
make sure you visit the New England Historical and Genealogical Society
on Newbury Street. Great collection - microfilm is on the 4th Floor -
Probate Records from all over New England - Birth Records as well.

Hello Pat,
Well, I think I can help you. First of all, my line is also William,
William, Joseph, and then goes to Moses who was Job's brother. You can find
a family tree I put together some time ago at my website at
http://www.chace.demon.nl On the left hand side click on Joseph Chace
Family Tree. You will find your Job and Jonathan as well. Cromwell was
Mary Chase's father. She married Miller Chace who was the half-brother of
Elijah Cornell, father of Ezra Cornell. Sibbel Robinson lived with Miller
and Mary Chace for quite some time when she was a widow. She lived into her
90s. You will find some of your Chaces buried in Fall River at the Oak
Grove Cemetery. Miller Chace and a lot of the Chace family are buried
there. Cromwell Chace is buried there and I have a photograph of his
gravestone that I have attached to this email. Also, you will find Lizzie
Borden buried there.
Anyway, I have a copy of Joseph Chase's will and it lists Job as one of his
sons. Perhaps you are interested in it. I can probably help you more. I
will have to look at my records. I don't think I have any copies of letters
of Cromwell, but I do have some letters written by his daughter Mary who
would be your great great great aunt. Cromwell was the uncle of Samuel
Buffington Chace who married Elizabeth Buffum. They were quite famous for
their abolishionist activities and were part of the Underground Railroad.
There is a bust of Elizabeth Buffum Chace on the second floor of the Capitol
Building in Providence. She is considered "The Conscience of Rhode
Island." Samuel and Elizabeth are buried in Swan Point Cemetery in
Providence. There is also the North Burial Ground in Providence and that is
where my great great great grandmother Rebecca Chace and my great great
grandmother Lucretia Chace are buried. Lucretia was Ezra Cornell's sister.
By the way, you can find a photograph of Miller Chace and Mary Chace and
family at my website as well, look under Chace Family Photos - theirs is the
first one. Take a look around, you will probably find some other
interesting pieces of information, especially in the Chace and Cornell
Family Letters section. There are several by Miller and Mary to be found
there and they reference a lot of the family members. If I remember
correctly, Miller mentions Job Chace and I think Jonathan quite a number of
times. There a references to the Earle family as well.
Hmmm, let's see, that should be enough to get you started. I will see what
else I can find. But, it would be best if you asked me specific questions,
otherwise I like to ramble on.
Cheers,
Jeffrey Chace

Thankyou Jeffrey,
As a matter of fact, I had just been browsing your website before posting my
request. I had gone straight to Joseph Chace's line and was touched by the
heroic efforts of Samuel and Elizabeth Chace.
Interesting that I have a great great great aunt Mary, and a great aunt Mary
Chase still living. It is for her, that I have been working on the family
tree and would like to make a gift of it to her next July on her 100th
birthday.
I will browse your site more and will hopefully come up with a plan for my
visit.
Thankyou for the photo.
Thankyou again,
Pat

Hi,
I am planning a visit to the Rhode Island/Mass area in a couple of weeks,
and was wondering if anyone can tell me how I can locate burial places of my
Chase ancestors. I would love to be able to bring some photos back for my
great-aunt Mary Chase who turned 99 this month.
Thanks
Pat
