Anyone come across this Chace before? I don't think we have seen him in any
of the Chesham genealogies, or have we?

He is listed in Pedigree No 1 of Arthur H Noble (1967) The Chase Family. Heraldry Today: London. Noble has him as one of three children from John Chase of Hundridge Chesham's first marriage to Joan (John subsequently married Alice Harding in 1573). So the people mentioned in the will are: Mary Aldridge his married sister, Matthew and Stephen Chase his half brothers, uncle Richard the younger brother of his father John, and cousins Robert and Jason the sons of his uncle Richard (and brothers of Aquila who is now known to have died in London and not to have emigrated to America).
I don't know where the will was proved - it's not in PCC, so may have been proved in Cambridgeshire. According to Noble William died unmarried in College.

Don't think that this one can be claimed as an exclusive "Chace" ancestor,
assuming that the Chase and Chace lines in fact have different origins. He
is listed by Chase/Chamberlain as "William Chaase" based on documentation
that they found in their search of County Bucks records.

Lucretia Cornell Chace died a tragic death at the age of 31. She left behind
7young children, the youngest of whom, Eunice, was merely eight months old
when Lucretia died. Her youngest boy, Thomas Jr., was only 2 1/2 years old
when his mother fell victim to what was then described at the time as "Brain
Fever" which was probably either meningitis or encephalitis. Lucretia died
14 April 1845, 163 years ago. She was buried in the Old Quaker Cemetery in
Providence, Rhode Island, and then her remains were later removed to the
North Burial Ground.
I have seen two known photographs of Lucretia's husband, Thomas Chace. I
have copies of both of them. There are also quite a few photographs of her
offspring known, and the ones that I have copies of, I have posted at my
website or at the Chace Family website. Alice Jones was kind enough to share
photographs with me of the following generation including two of Albert
Henry Chace. However, I had imagined that the only reflection of Lucretia
that we would ever have would be in her handwritten letters, which I have
also posted at my website, or in looking at photographs of her brother, Ezra
Cornell, or sister, Phoebe Wood, or of her children and imagining what she
must have looked like. That is, until now.
Last week, I was doing some Google searches that I do regularly. I typically
search every few months for the same criteria of older searches I have done
to see if I get new hits - the internet grows everyday you know. And it is
often that I find new and interesting information that did not exist on the
internet even a few months before. I did the same thing last week, looking
to see if there was any new information about Elijah Cornell Chase, Thomas
and Lucretia Chace's oldest son.
Well, I received a hit at www.jocohistory.org which is where I had found
some other Chace family photographs in the past and I was excited to find a
new photograph of Elijah Cornell Chase walking along in suit, wearing a hat.
However, after I looked at the photograph, I noticed that there were more
new photos at the JoCo History website that I had not seen. And ...... one
of them turns out to be Lucretia Cornell Chace!
I was a bit skeptical at first, because it seemed highly unlikely that a
photo of her could exist since she died so long ago. However, I have done
some research into the history of photography in the eastern United States
and it is clear that Daguerreotype photography made a big splash in New
England beginning in 1840 and by the time that Lucretia died in 1845, there
were independent Daguerreotype photographers all over the Eastern Seaboard,
including Providence, Rhode Island, where Thomas and Lucretia Chace lived.
Plus, given the provenance of this photograph and the accompanying
description given it by Marjorie Bell Willsey, who was Elijah Cornell
Chase's great granddaughter and who allowed JoCo Museum to make copies of
the Chace Family Photos, I have no reason to doubt that this must actually
be Lucretia shortly before she died. She certainly looks to be in her late
twenties/early thirties, and comparing this photograph to one of her
daughter, Eunice Lucretia Chace, there is an obvious resemblance.
So, I present to you, Lucretia Cornell who married Thomas Chace, 29 January
1835, and who died 14 April 1845:
http://www.dutchriviera.com/images/LucretiaCornellChace.jpg
If you right click on the photo you can save it to your hard drive. By the
way, the Dutch Riviera website is a new one that I am creating as perhaps a
small business enterprise and I have plenty of space there, so that is why I
stored Lucretia's photo at that address.
You can also see a gallery of all of the Chace Family photographs that can
be found at the JoCo History website here:

I hope you are having a splendid day!

Just wanted to clue you all in to a resource I found on the web today which
is very useful if you have a Dentist in your family tree from the second
half of the 19th Century. There was a publication called "The Dental Cosmos"
which chronicled the goings-on of various Dental Societies around the
country and scanned (and searchable) images of it can be found online here:
http://quod.lib.umich.edu/d/dencos/
One word of advice: The "Search this Collection:" search engine seems to
treat your search term as if it is looking for the exact phrase. So, John X.
Smith will not find John Smith. There are also "advanced" search options
that you might want to play around with. I just put in various forms of
persons names until I got a hit. So, don't give up if you can find your
dentist with the first name you type in.
Cheers,
Jeffrey

Today I searched about 700 records looking for parents for our Rachel Fuller
(1810-1884) who married Jacob Ransom Chase (1794-1861). Many of them
consigned Rachel to an early death (1834) because in 1835 Jacob married Lydia
Bunce. If he remarried, his earlier wife had to be dead, right? Well, she
wasn't.
For some reason the marriage between Jacob & Rachel Fuller Chase ended
somewhere between 1830 and 1835, but I haven't found any documents saying whether
it was divorce, annulment, or "common-law" divorce (you just decide you don't
want to be married any more and pretend you aren't). Nor have I found a
record showing when Rachel Fuller Chase married my Jesse Slawson (1809-1889),
but apparently they married during that period and moved to Whiteside County,
IL. For documentation, I refer you to the biography of Earl B Slawson, one
of Rachel & Jesse's sons, in the History of Lancaster Co. Nebr. Biographies
of Jesse Sr tell you that Jesse married "Miss Rachel Fuller" of New York,
intentionally misleading. His son Earl B was more forthright. He refers to
his Slawson brothers who served in the military in the Civil War, and then he
pays tribute to his Chase half brothers, Ira G W Chase and Hiram V Chase,
who also served. I believe his brother Hiram Chase died in the Battle of
Gettysburg. If anybody's interested in Rachel's Slawson offspring, I've got a
good list.
Apparently there is additional documentation concerning Jacob Ransom Chase's
murky marital status found in the federal archives. Researcher Maggie
Nelson of MN found it while pursuing Jacob's third wife Lydia Bunce's petition
for a federal pension as the wife of a War of 1812 soldier and as the mother of
a dead soldier, William Henry Chase. Maggie says the feds investigated,
accusing Lydia of double dipping, and they refer to the possibility of her
marriage to Jacob being bigamous, Jacob being known locally to have an undivorced
wife living somewhere.
Jacob & Rachel's daughter, Lucy M Chase, born 1829, is found later living in
Whiteside County, IL, with Rachel and Jesse Slawson. She married a George
W Taylor in 1851 Whiteside County, who drowned in 1880, and then I lost track
of her. Perhaps she remarried.
Now, if your records show that our Rachel Fuller died in 1834 because she
disappeared from Jacob's life, please quit spreading that erroneous story.
She had 8 or 9 more (Slawson) children and died in Otoe County, Nebraska April
12, 1884, at the age of 73. Maybe someday I'll learn who her parents were
and why they would have let their 13-year-old daughter marry a 29-year-old
widower with two children.

Hello All,
Just an item of curiosity. I have a copy of an original Chase-Chace Family
Association Application form and thought that perhaps it would be
interesting to some of you. You can find a scan of the application at
