I am researching for a new-to-genealogy Chace family member a possible
Mayflower connection to William White.
I am trying to place Experience White, b. 8 August, 1771, who m. Philip
CHASE (CHACE), 28 Feb 1790, in Freetown, MA ( Dartmouth VRs), both of
Freetown, possibly in the family of Peregrine WHITE of Freetown. Experience
(White) Chace d. 1830 in Delaware County. Philip is the son of Edward Chase
(George Bedford, Walter, Benjamin, William) and Abigail (Strange) Paine.
Peregrine White of Freetown m. Mary Howland of Middleborough 3 May 1770
(Middleborough VRs). Peregrine was the son of Paul White and Elizabeth
Curtis and was b. 23 December 1748. He is a direct descendant of William
White. Peregrine appears in the Federal Census at Freetown in 1790, with
one male under 16, two males over 16 and two females. (Of course, Experience
at this time would be in the household with new husband Philip Chace and not
be enumerated in any White family.) Peregrine appears in the 1800 Federal
Census, still in Freetown, with one male 10-16, one male 16 to under 26, one
male 26 and under 45, and one male 45 and older. Females are one aged 16
to under 26 and one other over 45.
Experience White and her husband Philip Chace and many others of his Chace
family from Freetown resettled in Delaware County, NY (Delhi, later called
Hamden) in 1791.
Experience White and Philip Chace named their 2nd son Thomas WHITE Chace
(after her brother Thomas?) and named a second daughter Polly (nickname for
Mary - her mother?) and a fourth daughter Hope (after her sister or
grandmother?) And certainly Experience herself could have been named for
Peregrine's maternal grandmother, Experience Palmer.
I know that Thomas, Malachi and Hope are listed elsewhere in various family
trees as children of Peregrine and Mary (Howland) White. This would agree
with Census enumerations. There may have been another son according to the
Census of 1800, although he is not listed in the Census of 1810. Is it
possible that Experience is also a daughter - having missed the 1790 Census
as she was a Chase at that time?
There was an Experience White, born in Freetown 1772, who m. a Jonas
Blanchard in 1795. That Experience White was the daughter of John White and
Mercy Hathaway and is not the Experience White for whom I am searching. She
is a descendant through Resovled White. That family had removed to NH
before 1790.
The other WHITE males of Freetown enumerated in the Federal Census of 1790
were Jenkins, Samuel, Thomas and Zebulon. For various reasons, I have
eliminated them as possibles as the father of Experience. Since Experience
was given as "of Freetown" in her marriage record of the same year (1790), I
do believe her father should be there, too.
I have not seen any wills of the above-named. I do not know whence the
birthdate of 8 August, 1771 or the death-date of 1830 that George
Chamberlain used for Experience White in his work on the Chase/Chace family.
Does anyone know anything about "my" Experience? If she is not Peregrine's
child, does anyone have another lead? If she is Peregrine's child, then all
of Experience and Philip Chase's descendants would be of Mayflower descent
also.

While you are in the DAR Library, don't pass up the Bible Records. I just
found a brickwall ancestor there!

Marian,
Go to the DAR Library at 1776 D street (next door to the Red Cross). They
have many sources including many family history books, as well as actual
source books. If you are not a Daughter, it will cost $6 to use the Library
for a day. It is well worth it.

Culpeper, VA
I hear ethereal voices, persuasive, soft and still
Daughter, if you don't remember us, who will?
