Hello All,
Just wanted to share with you all a resource with original document images
that I just ran across.
http://www.footnote.com
Looks very interesting and is not very expensive. Perhaps it will be of
interest to some of you.

Robin -- I checked out your genealogy site and noticed that you have the
very erroneous information posted that the Aquila Chase, b. abt 1618, who
immigrated to Hampton MBC (now NH) and was the progenitor of a principle
Chase line, as having been born in Chesham, Bucks Co. England. This is not
valid! There is NO evidence as to where the US Aquila or his brother Thomas
were born, and there is NO record in England (Chesham or elsewhere)to given
even a hint of either's birth. There is no record of an Aquila b. 1618 in
Chesham. The Chesham Aquila (bpt 1580, son of Richard) is 99.99% likely to
be the Aquila that is recorded in a London marriage with Martha Jelliman in
1612. They had a son, Aquila, bpt 1626. The burial of both father and son in
London is documented there. You may want to correct your genealogy.

Subject: [CHASE] Letters of Whitfield Chase
Hi everyone
I just subscribed to the Chase list and wanted to let you all know
about my website.
I transcribed letters Whitfield Chase and his family in Otego, NY
wrote to each other when Whitfield left home to cross the Oregon
Trail. He left in 1852, and the letters span about three decades,
although they get pretty sporadic. After working in Oregon,
Washington, and on Vancouver Island, he finally headed north for the
Fraser Canyon Gold Rush. He tried prospecting for a few years before
finally settling down on the 'Shuswap Prairie', which became the
village of Chase.
The web site also has a link to my rootsweb page where all of my
research is.

I am not related to Henry Francis Chase, b. 1901 Conn.
However, this looks like your Henry in the 1910, 1920 and 1930 censuses.
1910 Census:
Killingly, Windham, Conn
Henry F. Chase, 58, head, farmer
Sophia Chase, 56, wife
Henry E., 36, son
Attie C., 18, daughter
Vera E., 11, granddaughter
Henry E.., 9, grandson
1920 Census:
Putnam, Windham, Conn.
Henry F. Chase, 18, nephew
Living with his uncle Ernest W. Burton (head) & family
1930 Census:
Henry Chase, 29, head
Ellen Chase, 22, wife, born R. I.
Henry Jr., 9/12 months, son, born R.I.
In each of the three censuses, Henry was born in Conn. as were his father
and mother.
I hope this helps in whatever search you are doing.

Not only is my surname Smith, I also have, on my maternal side, Rev. John Smith and Susannah Hinckley - which Barack Obama also has, making him my 10th cousin. G.W. Bush has the parents of Susannah Hinckley, so he's also an 11th cousin through them to myself and Obama. Here's the chart by Gary Boyd Roberts, of the New England Historic Genealogical Society:
http://www.notablekin.org/presidential_candidates/obama_bush.pdf
They made an error and left out a generation, in Obama's chart - but I don't know how to contact Gary Boyd Roberts.

Thomas Chase (brother of Aquila), Lt. Isaac Chase, etc.
I happened to have Smith and Chase names in my lines and have been able to
prove all of my Smith line, the Chase was the one I had trouble with.

Here's what I was able to find out about this line of Chases: I started with
DeWitt Chase and found him in the Census, then used Edith Chase to find the
family in 1880 and then the awt.ancestry.com board to find the rest. Anyone
else have further information forward or backward?

It is indeed curious that George Bigelow states that there is no record in
Chesham of Richard's son "Aquila 3" beyond his 1580 baptism, yet he then
proceeds to give him a wife and two sons based solely on the fact that an
Aquila and a Thomas showed up in Hampton MBC, totally ignoring the plethora
of well documented information in London, a short distance from Chesham,
about an Aquila of the right age who marries and has a family there.

( There were several sources of misinformation about the genealogy of Aquila
and Thomas Chase. THIS IS ONE OF THEM !)
My comments enclosed in brackets)
(George Bigelow Chase published this booklet in 1869. It is based on the
assumptions that Aquila and Thomas Chase came from Chesham, England. John
Carroll Chase disproved that assumption in the Seven Generations Book, and
he shows that there is absolutely no record found, of where they came from.
In the Chase Chronicles, John Carroll even offered a reward for information
leading him to the place where Aquila and Thomas Chase came from and got no
response. )
A
GENEALOGICAL MEMOIR
Of the
CHASE FAMILY OF CHESHAM, BUCKS,
IN ENGLAND,
AND OF HAMPTON AND NEWBURY
IN NEW ENGLAND,
WITH NOTICES OF SOME OF THEIR DESCENDANTS.
GEORGE B. CHASE.
REPRINTED FROM THE HERALDIC JOURNAL.
BOSTON:
U. W. DUTTON & SON.
1869
(The following is an excerpt from the above booklet)
Turning at last to the interior, and recurring to the
above pedigree, Mr. Somerby visited Chesham to examine
its parish register, which from the time of 1538 he found
complete to the present day, with the exception of bap-
tisms in the reign of Queen Mary. From the larger
pedigree made by him from this register we give the
following extract, which shows the births of two brothers,
Aquila and Thomas Chase, towards the end of the six-
teenth century.
Thomas1 Chase, of Hundrich, in the Parish of Chesham.
John3 Chase, of Hundrich, bap. Nov. 30, 1540,
Richard2 Chase, of Chesham, bap. Aug. 3, 1542.
Agnes,2 bap. Jan. 9, 1551.
William,3 born in reign of Queen Mary.
Christian,2
Richard3 Chase of Chesham m. Joan Bishop, April 16,
1564. Their children were
Robert,3 bap. Sept. 2, 1565.
Henry,3 Aug. 10, 1567.
Lydia,3 Oct. 4, 1573.
THE CHASE FAMILY. Page 9
Ezekiel,3 bap. April 23, 1576.
Dorcas,3 " March 2, 1578.
Aquila,3 Aug. 14, 1580
Jason,3 " Jan. 13, 1583.
THOMAS,3 " July 18, 1585.
Abigail,3 " Jan. 12, 1588.
Mordecai,3" July 31, 1591.
The discovery of the unique name of Aquila, found no
where else in England, before or since, in any records of
families bearing the name of Chase, was deemed conclusive
proof by Mr. Somerby, as it has been since by other
distinguished antiquarians, of the identity of the American
with the English families. The date of birth coincided
with another tradition lingering in some branches of the
American family, that Aquila Chase of Newbury, had
called his first son, but the fifth child that was born to
him, after his father's name as well as his own, " that
Aquila the first was Aquila the second, too.
The register
at Chesham contains no other mention of Aquila, Thomas
and Mordecai than the record of their births. Of the
seven remaining children of Richard Chase, their marriages
or deaths, in some cases both, are recorded. This shows
that the three younger sons left Chesham, and lived and
died elsewhere.
Aquila 3 Chase married ,* and had
Thomas 4
Aquila,4 b. 1618
(The above statement says there are no other records, and yet They put their
assumptions into print and caused a multitude of wrong genealogies and
reference books, yes, MOST REFERENCE BOOKS HAVE COPIED THIS SAME
MISINFORMATION.)
( John Carroll Chase proved that Aquila 3 (above) was married,
Lived and died in London. He had a son, Aquila, who also
Lived and died in London.)
(The name of Sarah, below, as the wife of Aquila 3 is also in error. His
wife was Martha Jelliman.)
* Tradition has handed down the name of Sarah as the wife of Aquila3
Chase of Chesham, and it here conforms to the rule of baptisim, curiously
general, if not in the great majority of cases absolute, which prevailed
among the early colonists, of naming the first-born son after the paternal
grandfather, the first-born daughter after the paternal grandmother, the
second son after the mother's father, and so on.
(I will not send a copy of the above booklet to anyone because of the wrong
info it contains.
and it has caused many problems in the past. I will try to answer any
questions you might have.)

I have come into possession of an old photo album which, while there
unfortunately are no dates written in it, from the photos (a couple of which
are tin-types) is from at least the mid to latter 1800s. The ornate, padded
album obviously was someones cherished keepsake.
It was given to me by a stranger (who found it a swap meet and bought it out
of curiosity) who happened to see on a search of the Internet that my family
line includes a DeWitt Chase, of whom there are several photos. However,
given the apparent time period, as well as the names on other photos, this
DeWitt clearly isnt mine. Just about all photos are formal poses.
In the hopes that some other CHASE might recognize who these folks might be,
and want to acquire some very old family photos, I list some of the pencil
captions:
Aunt Edit (Chase) Flowers
Aunt Carrie (Chase) [last name not clear but something like Brimaghine
Uncle DeWitt Chase (20 yrs) in what appears to be a Union uniform
Grampa & Grandma Chase Mather Truesdales grandparents
Grampa Jacob Becker (Grandma Chases father)
Aunt Kate Rosecranke [this maybe should be Rosecrance] Grandfather Chase
sister
Aunt Kate Rosecranke [ditto] boy George [looks about 2 yrs]
Anna Chase
Other surnames in photo captions include: Burg, White, Kiltz, Becker,
Rosecrance, Coager
If anyone has clue who these folks might be, let me know. Id love to give
them to a proper home.
