CHASE.
Aquila Chase, ancestor of the Chases in this country, is referred to in Coffin's History of Newbury as " Mariner from Cornwall, England." He was in Hampton in 1640, and in Newbury in 1646, when four acres of land were granted him for a house lot, and six acres of marsh " on condition that he do go to sea and do service in the Towne with a boat for foure years.". In September 1646, it appears from the county records that Aquila Chase, his wife, and David Wheeler, his wife's brother, were presented and fined " for gathering pease on the Sabbath." The court ordered them to be admonished and their fines remitted.

The exact date of his coming to Sutton can not be ascer- tained. March 26, 1733, Mr. Chase's corn mill is mentioned in the town records. According to Dea. Leland, Daniel Chase built the first corn mill at Pleasant Falls ; hence his name, " Miller Chase." He and his wife Sarah were admit- ted to the church in 1736, by letter from the church in Littleton. In 1751 he and his wife were among the " separ- atists."

FAMILIES OF THE
Deacon Leland says of Samuel Chase, the ancestor of this family, that he " was one of the most enterprising inhabit- ants of the Town. His name is first found in ye Records, as one of 'ye Selectmen,' in 1741. His original settlement in Sutton seems to have been on a part of his father's farm, and that he owned one-half of a saw-mill, dam, privilege of ye water, etc. This undoubtedly was the farm, mill and privileges at Pleasant Falls.
" In December 1740, for one hundred pounds current money, Francis Dudley, Perez Rice, Samuel Barton, Samuel Chase and Benjamin Morse, purchased of Benjamin Gowing, five- sixths part of five acres of land in Sutton, on half-way river, with ye privilege of ye river, for building dams and flowing, as they shall see fit. This undoubtedly was ye water privilege at the Armory village in Millbury, and its first occupancy. It is not probable that many of these pur- chasers retained their share for a long time. Samuel Chase seems to have been an active member of the company, prob- ably the principal one.
" In November 1742, he had a house on ye purchase and made an additional purchase of three acres in his own name. It seems that ye first manufacturing establishment in opera- tion here, was that of an iron refinery, which is first men- tioned about this time.
" In July 1744, Jonathan Hazeltine, Esq., of Upton, was a prominent partner in the establishment. He resided in Sutton during several years, and became a leading proprietor of the township of Townsend in Vermont. He subsequently moved to that place with his family, where he died. Sam- uel Chase continued in Sutton till the close of the war with France.
"Probably about 1776 or '77 he, with most of his family, removed to ye flourishing town of Cornish, on the Connect- icut river, of which town ye Chase families were almost exclusive proprietors. He was commissioned as a Magis- trate and was Judge of ye Court for ye County of Cheshire. He buried his wife, Mary Dudley, a very respectable woman, married a second wife, and died at a very advanced age."

The exact date upon which he came to Sutton cannot be ascertained. That he was an early settler appears from the fact that one hundred acres of land were laid out for him by the proprietors of Sutton, October 22, 1722, and fifty acres November 22, 1725. It also appears from the proprietors' records that previously to 1726 he purchased of David Bald- win more than two hundred acres of land. In 1727 he sells sixty-four acres of land in Sutton to Jonathan Allen of Sud- bury. September 15, 1731, E. Johnson, innholder of Sutton, sells to Philip Chase of Mendon, innholder, his farm in Sutton, for £1,100 current money. He probably settled in the town about this time, as the records show that in February 1732, he received pay for work done on high- ways in 1731. January 25, 1732, a town meeting was held at his house. He died July 11, 1764.

According to Deacon Leland, it was always a tradition in the family that Isaac Chase purchased his land of the Indians -six hundred acres-for forty shillings and a bonus of one gallon of rum. Isaac Chase's name first occurs on the records, on the admission of his wife to the church during the period of Mr. Mckinstry's ministry, which closed Sept. 1728. It is next found on the record of a church meeting, October 4, 1728, when Jonathan Whipple was chosen " to set ye psalm, and Isaac Chase to set it in his absence."
