I've "rescued" an old photograph of Thomas Meady CHASE which was taken at
the Anderson Studio in Haverhill, Massachusetts. The photograph appears to
have been taken in the 1870's with Thomas appearing to be in his 40's or
50's at the time it was taken. Based on limited research I was able to
gather the following information regarding Thomas and his family:
Thomas Meady CHASE was b. 8 Oct 1820 in Newbury, MA to parents John CHASE
(b. 7 Sept 1783 in Newbury, MA) and Betsey CARLETON (b. 18 Feb 1785 in
Newbury, MA). Thomas was one of 7 children born to this couple including,
Betsey; Sarah Dole; Caroline Houghton; Harrison Gray Otis; Elvira Melvina;
Thomas Meady; and Rowena Roxana CHASE, all born between 1804 and 1825 in
Newbury, MA.
Census records provide the following information:

I am hoping to locate someone from this CHASE Family so that this wonderful
old treasure can be returned to its rightful place, with family. If you are
a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact
me.
Thanks,
Shelley
