I don't know the definitive answer to your question. However, since I live
quite close by on Bass River, I will try tomorrow, or over the weekend, to
get to North Harwich to find Job Chase's gravestone and see if it has a
veteran's marker on it. As for a picture, there is one available already
online: http://www.capecodgravestones.com/orlchatharpixweb/chas33nha.html
It calls him "Mr" Job Chase. The Job Chase who was born in 1736 also has a
sobriquet of "Captain" in all that is written about him, not "Sergeant".
I am embarrassed to say that Job is a great-grandfather of mine and I have
never been to that cemetery. (I have been often to the Baptist church
cemetery in West Harwich where there are many Chases interred, and which
also boasts a very large monument to family founder William Chase.)

Is the Job CHASE, b. 1736 in Harwich, MA, d. 1833 in Harwich, MA, the same Job CHASE that is listed in MA Revolutionary War Soldiers and Sailors as a "Sergeant, Capt. Thomas Nickerson's co., Maj. Zenas Winslow's regt."?
He was buried in North Harwich Cemetery (AKA Old Baptist Cemetery). Would anyone have a picture of his gravestone, and does it have a veterans marker on it?

This item about Benjamin Chace killing the sheep of Job Chase was an
original document recently on sale at eBay. I was particularly interested
in it because I descend from a Job Chase - but not this one!
I regularly search the documents for sale - and print them out (or save them
on my computer) for historical reference. Sometimes I buy them if they
pertain to my direct family - as the one where I found the settling of the
estate and the selling of the Cape Cod property on Swan Pond of my
GGG-Grandfather Joseph Chase who d. intestate in Pawtucket in 1840.
And of course, NEHGS and other historical/genealogical societies are onto
this, too, and regularly buy. Sometimes we go up against the "big guys"!
The document about Job Chace and Benjamin Chase did not sell (at least
through eBay). It had a price of $85.
