Hi
Just a quick update - I have now bought the death cert of Samuel Chace
(registered by his son Lothrop Griffiths Chace) in 1841. He is described as
a master mariner and so I am now almost certain that he must be the same
Samuel Chace who captained the Harriet in 1803 and also the Pegasus
(discovering Pegasus Bay in New Zealand) in 1809 but not the Samuel Rodman
Chace (also a ships captain) who was the captain of the Venus which was
taken by convicts in 1806. Samuel Rodnam Chase seems to have married and
remained in Australia. Both the Harriet and the ship captained by Barnabas
Gardner sailed to London at about the same time so perhaps they were friends
or cousins. Gardner was born in Nantucket.
Samuel Chace was aged 75 in 1841 so was born c1766. I have found a number of
trees online with a Samuel Chase born 1759-1769 who apparently died in
London. His parents are Samuel Chase and Jedidah Mayhew who belong to the
Chase family of Marthas Vineyard. Jedidah's mother's maiden name was
Lethrop which might be another clue and there are a number of Gardners in
this family tree.
The pieces are slowly falling into place but I will always be very grateful
for more information.
Regards
Lyla

Hello Lonnie,
I hope you and your wife are doing well. I was hoping that you might be able
to do me a favor. It appears that there is an obituary in the Chase
Chronicles for a "Harry A. Chase" of Rochester, New York, listed as a
"newsman." I have searched to no avail to find this online and was wondering
if you would mind sending me a scan of the obit or the text. I would really
appreciate it. I am not exactly sure what issue it is in, but I think it
might be in 1925. I think I remember that you have a complete set of the
Chase Chronicles.
Cheers,
Jeffrey
Hello Everyone,
I am sorry to have to inform you that one of the members of our list who has
contributed a lot of good information over the years has passed away. Here
is his obituary:
http://www.heraldnews.com/obituaries/x81487243/OBITUARIES-08-24-08

innovator in the development of Assault Am-phibious Vehicles, passed away in
West Palm Beach, Florida, on June 5, 2008. At the time of his passing, he
was surrounded by his family.
Born in Fall River, Massachusetts on September 5, 1929 to Dr. Frank Clinton

Church in Swansea during World War II, he attained Eagle Scout at age 15,
and he starred for football and baseball teams at Case and Gardner High
Schools. He attended Trinity College and Bullis Prep before being appointed
to the U.S. Naval Academy in 1949.
As a Midshipman, Colonel Chace lettered as First Baseman for the Naval
Academy Baseball team. It was at this time he acquired the nickname "Stubby"
because of his resemblance to a major league ballplayer with the same
nickname, and "Stub" was the name by which he was best known for the rest of
his life. He graduated from the Academy on June 5, 1953 and was commissioned
into the Marine Corps.Colonel Chace served in the Marine Corps for 28 years.

Commander in the Korean War, Inspector-Instructor, 4th Amtrack Battalion,
West Palm Beach, Florida, Logistics Officer, Executive Officer and
Commanding Officer, Third Tracked Vehicle Battalion in Vietnam,
Officer-in-Charge, Amphibious Vehicle Test Branch, Camp Pendleton,
California, Commanding Officer, Third Tracked Vehicle Battalion, Okinawa,
Japan, and Program Manager, Landing Vehicle Assault Program at Quantico,
Virginia. His decorations include the Legion of Merit with Combat "V" and
gold star in lieu of second award, the Bronze Star with Combat "V", the
Meritorious Service Medal and the Purple Heart.
Colonel Chace continued developing amphibious vehicles, lightweight tanks,
and remotely piloted vehicles as a manager and consultant with AAI
Corporation, until he retired in 1993. He served as the Vice President and
President of La Fontana Apartment Complex, and was active in the Palm Beach
Pundits and Retired USMC Eagles club in West Palm Beach, as well as the
Retired Officer's Associations and Naval Academy Alumni affairs.
A Memorial Service will be held at 11:00 AM on Friday, September 5, 2008 at
Christ Church, Main Street, Swansea, MA. In lieu of flowers, the family
requests that charitable donations be made to Hospice of Palm Beach County,
5300 East Avenue, West Palm Beach, Florida 33407.
He is survived by his of 55 years, Joy Deane Chace; his children, Captain
Christopher Bruce Chace, USN, and wife Sara; Major Stephen Deane Chace,
USMC, and wife Karen; Kimberly Chace and husband David Briganti; Cynthia Ann
Chace; Cathie Walsh Snellinger and husband Jerry; brother Colonel Alston
Rigby Chace, USAF, and wife Beverly; and seven grandchildren.

Judy,
You are most welcome, and glad I could help. Helping others is what the genealogy community does best. I had no trouble accessing Jonanthan Synder's information at World Connect. If you or your Slade cousins ever want more information on Morris's children and their spouses feel free to contact me.

Hello Everyone,
The email that was sent today by Judy Needham Chace about the
Obituary of Morris S. Chase contained a link to a website where
the link was quite long. Judy mentioned that the "link may not
work because it is so long."
If a long link does not work, this is typically because it gets
cut in half (or worse) by some email programs and then if you try
to click on the remaining part you will most likely be directed to
a none existent place because the link is not complete all the
way down to the file name.
There are a couple of ways to fix this. The first is complicated and
basically requires cutting and pasting the link pieces back together
in the address bar in your browser.
But, the easy way is to first take the long link and go to
www.tinyurl.com , pasting it in there thereby creating a "tiny"
address (URL) that can then be put in emails easily and when
clicked the www.tinyurl.com site redirects you to the "long"
address.
The "long" link from Judy's email was:
http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:3017980&id=I04461
The link transposed at www.tinyurl.com is:
http://tinyurl.com/6a3hyh
**
Try them both out, you'll get to the same place.
Nice service.
Cheers,

Hi Judy,
Perhaps the following information I've gathered over the years will be of some help.
Morris Shepherd Chase was born 8 December, 1822 at Milo, Yates county, NY. He married Mianda Winship. There are other Winship's connected to this line. You have provided me with some information I didn't have such as the date and location of his death, Mianda's dod range, and his second marriage. The occupations you mention match what I have. Could you send me a copy his obit that you mention?
The information on Isabell & Byron B. Slade matches mine.
Morris Shepherd Cahse is the grandson of Judah Chase and Hannah Baker, and son of John Baker Chase and Rebecca Winship.
The rest of the information your cousin has matches mine. However, there seems to be some discrepency as to the parents of Judah. Some Chase researchers say Isaac & Thankful Maker, others say the parents of Judah & his brother Thomas were Isaac and a second marriage to an unknown.
Judah's daughter, Jane, is my g-g-g-grandmother, by her second marriage to Daniel Sherwood.
Regards,
Bruce A. Sherwood, Sr.

I'm doing some research for a Chase/Slade cousin.
I have a Morris S. Chase, b. 1822 in New York. He died August 23, 1904 in
Hornellsville, New York and is buried in the Baptist Cemetery in
Whitesville, NY.
According to his obit in the Potter Journal of Potter County, PA, he was
eulogized as The Honorable Morris S. Chase, having been an attorney and a
merchant. His first wife Mianda/Miranda, and mother of his children having
died sometime between 1880 and 1900, he married again, a Miss Mary Fassett
of Gold (PA?) in 1901.
He had a daughter, Isabel, who married Bryan B. Slade, born in Pennsylvania,
but later of New York. Isabel was born in 1849 in New York. Isabel and
Bryan were married in 1871.
My cousin thinks it is possible that Morris was a child or grandchild of
Judah Chase and wife Hannah Baker
My cousin writes: <<<<Now, the line after Baker [Slade] and Hannah [Pierce]

and apparently went out to New York State. It turns out that
these Slades connected with an Isabel Chase whom they (jcn note: other

Swansea. Using the numbers from the NEHGR Chase articles

Does anyone of the List recognize Morris? Did Judah and Hannah have a son,
or more likely a grandson Morris, born in 1822?
Thanks!

Hi
I am trying to find out more about Samuel Chace who married in 1806 London
to Elizabeth Griffiths. Samuel was a Victualler and his known children are
as follows:
Eliza 1810 (still unmarried in 1841 at the time of Samuel's will)
Olive 1811-1839 married to Joseph Smith
Julia Palmer 1814-1843 married to James Weldon
Lothrop Griffiths 1817-1887 married to Ann Lewry
Ellen 1819 (died before 1841 as not in Samuels will)
The witness to Samuel's wedding was a Barnabas Gardner who I beleive to be
the same one who was a master mariner/whaler. From googling I have found
that Captain Gardner had been in the same waters around Sydney/New Zealand
around the same time as a Samuel Chace, captain of the Harriet in the early
1800s.
I'm wondering if there might be a connection between the two Samuels or if
they might even have been the same person. In Samuel the victualler's will
he did bequeath some navigation books and mathematical instruments.
Anyway, would love to hear from anyone who has information on either of the
Samuels.
Regards
Lyla
Back then a victualler not only could be a person who owned or ran a tavern
(more like today's bed and breakfast...but also included usually lunch and/or
dinners plus beverages of all types) but also could be a person who ran the
ships stores...i.e. the foods on the ship... So it is possible that both the
Samuel's you are thinking about might have been the same man. Just a thought.

Owen Chase and Moby Dick
by Jeffrey Chace
In 1819, the Whaling Ship *Essex* set sail from Nantucket Island for a two
and a half year journey to the whaling areas of the south Pacific where an
abundance of the most prized prey, the sperm whale, could be found. It is
difficult for us to imagine today just how far this really was at that time
in history when there were no automobiles, no airplanes, no motor driven
ships and just the wind to carry you along. From the Atlantic Coast of New
England, the ship sailed south along the coastline of North America,
continued through the Caribbean to the coast of South America along
Venezuela, Suriname, Guiana, Brazil, Uruguay, reached Argentina and then
finally Cape Horn, one of the most notoriously dangerous areas of water in
the world. Then, they had to round the Horn, and sail up along the coast of
Chile, stopping one last time for supplies and to send letters home, and
then out into the open ocean for up to two years or until the ship was full
of whale oil and blubber.
The *Essex* was captained by George Pollard and the First Mate was Owen
Chase. Owen was a Quaker by birth and was about 23 years old when the *Essex
* set sail. He was born in December of 1797 on Nantucket Island and was the
son of Judah Chase and Phoebe Meader. Judah was the Great-great-great-great
Grandson of William Chase, the immigrant from England to America in 1630.
See: http://tinyurl.com/57v9pd Owen's family had a seafaring history and
the number of Chases associated with whaling was immense. All four of Owen's
brothers who survived to adulthood and Owen himself would eventually become
Whaling Captains.
In November of 1819, while hunting in the Pacific, the *Essex** *came upon a
pod of sperm whales and began preparations for acquiring them. They ended up
angering a large male who proceeded to ram the *Essex** *by swimming
full-speed toward it and striking the ship with his head. The whale did this
twice and the *Essex** *was mortally wounded and began to sink. Twenty men
including Chase and Pollard escaped in three of the small hunting boats. One
of these was under the command of Owen Chase. The men were lost in the open
ocean over 2000 miles from the coast of Chile and about as far away from
land as it is possible to be.
So began their harrowing journey of survival which lasted for 95 days before
they were finally rescued. While at sea, sometimes just drifting along at
the mercy of the currents, the men eventually ran out of food and water and
the boats eventually got separated. In Owen Chase's boat, Owen did his best
to manage their supplies and the men fared a bit better than in the other
two boats because Owen was able to make their food last longer through
discipline. However, as with the other two boats, men began to die of
hunger, and at first the other men would bury them at sea. But, as the
situation became even more desperate and they ran out of food, the
inevitable occurred as they began to eat the bodies of their dead shipmates.
In Captain Pollard's boat, things got so bad that they didn't even wait for
men to die. At one point, they drew straws to determine who would be killed
and eaten! The unlucky lot fell to Pollard's young cousin,
seventeen-year-old Owen Coffin, whom Pollard had promised to look after.
Pollard was horrified and told his cousin that he would shoot every man on
the boat rather than allow him to be killed and eaten. Yet young Coffin
replied that there was not much chance he was going to survive anyway and
that this fate seemed just as good as another, so, with his permission, they
killed him and ate him!
By the time that the 95th day at sea had arrived on 5 April 1821, only 8 men
were still alive to be rescued when they were found by the whaling
ship *Dauphin
*and most of them were nearly dead. However, Owen Chase did survive to make
it back to Nantucket and he published an account of his adventure in 1821
entitled *Narrative of the Most Extraordinary and Distressing Shipwreck of
the Whale-Ship Essex. *Poor Captain Pollard arrived back in Nantucket having
to tell his Aunt that they had killed and eaten her son!
Well, Owen lived to sail another day, and became a whaling captain in his
own right sailing back out to the Pacific which had been the host of his
terrible ordeal. He married four times and had children by three of his
wives. Peggy Gardner, his first wife, gave birth to three children the
youngest of which was William Henry Chase born 14 September 1824. William,
like his father, grew up to work the whaling ships of Nantucket and, like
his father, found himself hunting for whales in the Pacific as a young man.
On 23 July 1841, two whaling ships, the* Lima* and the *Acushnet*, met up
with each other not far from where the *Essex** *had sunk nearly 21 years
before. Because of the length of time that ships during this era would be at
sea hunting whales, when ships would sight each other they would approach to
engage in what was called a "gam" or essentially a social engagement which
involved eating, drinking, swapping stories and perhaps, because so many of
the ships were from the two small communities of Nantucket Island and New
Bedford, Massachusetts, there might be letters to or from back home which
could be exchanged.
Onboard the *Lima* was Owen Chase's son, William Henry Chase. Onboard the *
Acushnet* was Herman Melville, future author of *Moby Dick*. Herman relates
in his notes from the writing of *Moby Dick* how he met the son of Owen
Chase during this gam and that William leant him a copy of his
father's *Narrative
of the Most Extraordinary and Distressing Shipwreck of the Whale-Ship Essex.
*Melville said of his opportunity to read the Narrative, "The reading of
this wondrous story upon the landless sea, & close to the very latitude of
the shipwreck had a surprising effect on me." It was upon this, Owen Chase's
own real life story, that Melville based his epic masterpiece, *Moby Dick*,
ten years later.
In the first part of *Moby Dick*, entitled "Extracts (Supplied by a
Sub-Sub-Librarian)," Melville relates various historical references to
whales including Genesis, Job, the story of Jonah, Hamlet, Pilgrims
Progress, and the following:
"My God! Mr. Chace, what is the matter?" I answered, "we have been stove by
a whale."
"*NARRATIVE OF THE SHIPWRECK OF THE WHALE SHIP ESSEX OF NANTUCKET, WHICH WAS
ATTACKED AND FINALLY DESTROYED BY A LARGE SPERM WHALE IN THE PACIFIC OCEAN*."
BY OWEN CHACE OF NANTUCKET, FIRST MATE OF SAID VESSEL. NEW YORK, 1821.
Interestingly, Melville always referred to Owen Chase with the spelling
Chace for some reason.
One side note: Without the story of Owen Chase and the ill-fated
*Essex** *there
would be no Starbucks Coffee Company flung far and wide around the world as
we know it today. It would probably exist, but would instead be named
"Joe's" or "Larry's" or something. Why? Because Starbucks is named after the
character "Starbuck" in Moby Dick who was the first mate of the Pequod. So,
actually, you could make the case that Starbucks is indirectly named after
Owen Chase, first mate of the *Essex*!
http://www.starbucks.com/aboutus/company_profile.pdf
If you want to read a fascinating, fantastic account of Owen Chase and the *
Essex*, pick up *In the Heart of the Sea *by Nathaniel Philbrick.
Outstanding reading and well worth your time.

If you haven't read the book that was done about the Essex and not Moby
Dick...which is good, too, you will enjoy it. The story about the real Essex is
something to read and well written. I can't imagine having to go through all of
that and then being alive to tell about it. For those who survived the
ordeal it was life changing to say the least... for a few they were able to resume
their normal lives, but all of course were effected in some manner or
another.
