I'm inspired by Elizabeth Knowlton to share a civil war pension that is a real source of information and it might be of help to someone who needs it. The soldier is Dudley Pike Chase who enlisted in the 2d US sharpshooters out of Hennepin County, MN. His wife, the former Olivia Carpenter had passed away several years before in Wisconsin, and his minor children were left to the guardianship of one of her family members Joel Bassett, of Minneapolis. Dudley was born in Lincoln, Penobscot, Maine-my current place of residence. His grandfather, Edmund Chase and my Rev War ancestor, Jonathan Chase were brothers. We have a considerable family history of sticking together in pairs of siblings and extended families.:) The file contains depositions of vital records, family and statements from Lincoln and before. Dudley chose to enter as a sharpshooter because he had a history of military service prior to the civil war- he and 4 of his brothers [like is grandfather and 4 brothers] went in defense of his state against a foreign foe bent on subjugating and controlling. Edmund, Jonathan and 3 brothers answered the alarm at Lexington [April 16, 1775] by walking to Cambridge and breaking into the arsenal while British soldiers were otherwise engaged, and stealing thier armament to aid the patriots. Dudley and 4 of his brothers including eldest Lt Thomas Herrick Chase served in Capt. George Towle's Lincoln Rifle Company Feb 1839 and marched to the St John's River to defend our northeastern Boundary against foreign invasion by New Brunswick. aka Aroostook War. And it was a real war, men died, Fort Fairfield was assaulted in Sept 1839, over 105 men died , many more wounded and disabled for life. But we secured out borders, kept our lands and went on with our lives. Dudley took a rifle shot to the arm, the same day Stonewall Jackson did at Chancellorville-both men died from that wound. Please contact me if you are interested in the information in his pension/death file.Bertie William 0bnn9119@yahoodotcom.

Hi,
I have now received and read most of the 223 pages in the Civil War
pension applications of Nathan and his second and third wives. These
records alerted me to Nathan's three siblings. Although Jane E. Wood
Chase Abbott mixed up some of the surnames and first names, I was able
to identify a sister. (Researching Nathan's younger brother proved a
dead-end.) When I did the work on sister Susan, I found another
researcher who directed me to a will written by Susan's mother's
brother-in-law in which he left her some money and carefully described
her relationship. So now I have the names of both the Chase parents,
who probably died between 1830 and 1840.
When I have more time, I will send more information to the list.
Thank you all for your help.
