This was a welcome remark from Jeffrey. Since you mentioned Providence
perhaps one of you has visited the City Hall (I believe that is right) where
they keep information on Philip Sherman (the connection through our Chaces
and Benjamin son of William. When we visited Providence we didn't have time
to go there and I have always been sorry. Perhaps someone can share.

Hi Ginger,
Glad to hear you like my ramblings, as I sometimes feel they are.....! I agree that this is probably why the list has lasted. Everyone is sooooo helpful and I just hope.that I can be of some help to others too. Have given the list address to several people who need help, that I found on the message boards, and didn't know this list existed. I think it does make us feel like family ...as we are.... and it is certain to help others, since there are soooo many branches of the Chases/Chaces. I re
Dear All,
Amidst other more straightforward genealogical material I have inherited over the years, I have just "rediscovered" a letter from the Chase-Chace Family Association written to my Grandfather's brother, James Burton Chace, dated December 30, 1938. The first time I took a look at the letter years ago, I simply thought it interesting to know that such an association had existed. I tried to find out then if the association was still in existence. I could find nothing in the telephone book or direc

Dear Barb. et al,
Enjoyed your report about your NY Chases and their connections. Three years
ago we took our trek through your country and stopped at Pompey where some of
the Chases lived along with the Hathaways and Bordens. The Historian there
took us to the graveyard to see the Borden and Hathaway graves. We never
would have found it without her help as it was a private little one on a farm
and very hard to locate.
Keep the stories coming.

Sorry, I have no info on A.W. Chase but I also have a copy of the
"Dr. Chase's Recipes" book, but copyrighted in 1902. Also on the
cover it says "Enlarged and Improved Edition" and contains 600
pages. Published by Stanton and VanVliet Co. of Chicago. The cover
is illustrated showing a nurse at the bedside of a patient. The
first page has a lithograph of the good doctor. It is signed
"Respectfully A. W. Chase M. D."

Hello All,
I was wondering if there may be some Chaces who lurk here on this list. I am a Chace and interested in the history of Providence, particularly between 1680 and 1850. You see, my Chaces were in and about Swansea, Providence, Fall River, and the rest, since the early days and I am fascinated to learn more about this area and the eras of American history here experienced.
I have found some mid-1800s Providence directories on the internet, and have listed the links thereto below. They record amo

While researching my Rose line in the 1880 Wayne County, NC census I found a Burket Rose in the Nahunta Township in household 316 and Ruffin Rose in Nahunta Township in household 317. Ruffin Rose was in the household with some others with the last name of Chase. One of the Chase womens occupation was listed as a prostitute. It list daughters for Ruffin and for the Chase woman but list no wife for him or husband for her. Was this comman to list such a thing or am I reading this wrong or what? Anyway I cannot

Hello Ginger,
Good to hear from you. I had dinner with Keith Hume and his wife Iris last
week. We engaged in some great conversation and I really enjoyed myself.
I hope someday to get to Providence. I imagine I will plan a New England
Adventure sometime soon to do some research and to see what it is like
there. From Salem, Massachusetts, to Providence, Rhode Island, is not so
far really. And from there, it's not particularly far to D.C. to take a
