The compiler has been unable to determine from published works the parentage of Moses Chase.
There can be little doubt that he is a descendant of an early settler of the name in Cornish, another Sullivan Co. town bordering on the Connec- ticut river. The genealogy of Chase will undoubtedly be of interest to those of the name or connected with it by marriage, many of whom must yet be resident in the vicinity of the old cemetery. Cornish is an adjoin- ing town to Plainfield. A " native here and to the manor born " in 1818, who will be quoted as authority, wrote in 1867 that "the town of Cornish is full of Chases." The genealogical line may also be of some interest to others who are not of the locality, as it shows that this New England branch of the family gave to the country Salmon Portland Chase, who as Governor, Senator, as a member of President Lincoln's Cabinet, and as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, gained a national reputation. He was born in Cornish, January 13, 1808. Another circum-
38
stance of some general interest is the fact that the line can be traced to the great grandfather or the emigrant to New England through three gen- erations of English progenitors, making him of the fourth generation from the earliest known ancestor of the name.
Aquila4 Chase (Aquila,3 Richard,2 Thomas1), born -, 1618, came to New England with or after his brother Thomas ; both were of Hampton, Rockingham Co., N. H., as early as 1639 or 40. About 1646 he removed to Newbury [Essex Co.], Mass. He made his will Sept. 19, 1670, and died on the 27th of the following December. He married Anne, daughter of John Wheeler. They had 11 children, 5 sons ; the youngest child was
Moses5 Chase ( Aquila,4 Aquila,3 Richard,2 Thomas1), born Newbury, Mass., Dec. 24, 1663, was an ensign in the Essex Co. regiment; married Anne, daughter of Thomas Follenshee, and had 9 children, 7 sons ; the 2d son, 2d child was
Daniel6 Chase (Moses," Aquila,4 Aquila,3 Richard,2 Thomas1), born New- bury, Sept. 20, 1685 ; died Sutton [Worcester Co.], Mass., Apr. - , 1768 ; married Jan. 6, 1706, Sarah March, and had 10 children, 7 sons ; the eld- est child was
Samuel7 Chase (Daniel,6 Moses,5 Aquilla, 48 Richard,2 Thomas1), born Newbury, Mass., Sept. 28, 1707 ; died Cornish [Sullivan Co. ], N. H., Aug. 12, 1800 ; married Mary Dudley and removed with his family to Cornish, of which he was one of the founders. His children were Samuel, Jona- than, March, Dudley, born 1730, Sarah, Elizabeth, Solomon, Anne and Mary.
In the library of the New England Historic Genealogical Society in Boston, Mass., there is a single sheet, measuring 8 by 10 inches including margins. The printing on its face is but 6 by 7 inches. It shows in the form of a letter addressed by a father to his son, the line of their ancestry. Its author was Naham Chase, who was born in Cornish, July 24, 1818. From the letter the compiler quotes : " Abanby, N. Y., April 3, 1867. * * * Your great great grandfather was Moses Chase. He was one of the first settlers of the town of Cornish, N. H. He had nine sons, all of whom lived to be men : John, Caleb, Nahum, Daniel, Clement, owning large farms in Cornish, Harvey a lawyer in Cornish ; Amos, went to Ohio ; Mooda, went to Illinois; and another whose name I have forgotten. * * Your great grandfather John Chase was born in Cornish in 1752-had a second wife. By his first had son Cotton * * * by his
second Moses, a farmer and miller ; Gilman, a farmer, went west; John, who became a merchant in Boston ; Juda, died a missionary among the In- dians at the south " [and five daughters ] " I believe all born in Cornish." * * * Your grandfather Cotton Chase was born Aug. 8, 1783, married about 1814 Betsey Chase, who was born Aug. 19, 1789, both of the town of Cornish. She was his first cousin, his father Deacon John Chase and her father Capt. Caleb Chase being own brothers. They had five children, Martha C., born Sept. 21, 1816; Nahum (your father), born July 24, 1818; Caleb R., born Oct. 3, 1820 (of Windsor, Vt.) ; Hannah B., born Aug. 16, 1824, died at 3 years of age; Caroline Hannah, born Dec. 18, 1827, died at thirty." In connection with the record of his son's paternal grandmother, Betsey Chase, his father gives the list of lier brothers and four sisters. Her brothers were Caleb, born Cornish about 1797, Kimball and Nahum. The last named died young ; the two elder brothers went to Boston and engaged in business ; of them he writes : "Caleb went to Bos-
39
ton, Mass., when he was a young man, and became a wealthy dry goods merchant-built ships, was a large importer and wholesale dealer *
* * he is my uncle; Kimball went to Boston and became a dry goods mer- chant." This uncle Caleb died in Boston, Mass., Feb. 8, 1865, aged 68. The record of his death confirms the statements of his nephew as to his birthplace and parentage, but adds nothing to his narrative except that it appears by record that his mother was named Elizabeth and that both parents were born in Cornish.
Mr. Nahum12 Chase (born 1818, whose wife was Betsey, daughter of Jacob Ecker of an old Dutch family of Berne, Albany Co., N. Y.), began his letter to his son with a reference to that ancestor (Moses of the 9th generation) concerning whose family he had knowledge from his father Cotton11 and grandfather John10 who was born in 1752; but in his recital told all he knew as to an earlier progenitor. His exact words were " Your great, great, great grandfather's name was March Clase."
The compiler some twenty years since had a business acquaintance with a Mr. George B.10 Chase, a son of Theodore9 Chase, a Boston merchant whose mansion house stood at the corner of Beacon and Bowdoin Streets in that city, whose line to the English immigrant was Theodore,9 Stephen,8 Stephen," Joseph,6 Aquila," Aquila.4 When his father Theodore9 died in 1859 he was in possession "of some of the family papers of his ancestor Aquila."
In the investigation of his family line Mr. George Bigelow Chase had the assistance of the expert genealogist Horatio G. Somerby, who after an investigation of family and other records in New England, made in 1869 an exhaustive search of old English records. The result of the search was the publication in "The Heraldic Journal " of "A genealogcal memoir of the Chase Family," in Old and New England, "with notices of some of their descendants." The record of Samuel7 (Daniel,6 Moses,5 Aquila,4 Aquila,3 Richard,2 Thomas1) and the quotations that follow are from this work. Mr. Somerby visited Chesham [Buckinghamshire ] to ex- amine its parish register.
Its earliest record relating to the family determined that Thomas1 Chase of Hundrich, in the parish of Chesham, was the father of the Richard2 Chase (Thomas1), baptized Chesham, Aug. 3, 1542, who, Apr. 16, 1564, married Joan Bishop. Their children, all baptized Chesham, were
i. Robert,2 bapt. Sept. 2, 1565. vi. Aquila, bapt. Aug. 14, 1580.
ii. Henry, Aug. 10, 1567. vii. Jason, Jan. 13, 1583.
iii. Lydia, Oct. 4, 1573. viii. Thomas, 66 July 18, 1585. iv. Ezekiel, 66 Apr. 23, 1576. ix. Abigail, " Jan. 12, 1588. v. Dorcas, 66 Mar. 2, 1578. x. Mordecai, " July 31, 1591.
The register at Chesham contains no other mention of Aquila, Thomas and Mordecai than the record of their baptism. Of the seven remaining children of Richard Chase, their marriages or deaths, and in some cases both, are recorded.
This shows that three of the younger sons left Chesham and lived and died elsewhere." *
* * " The discovery of the unique name of Aquila, found nowhere else in England before or since, in any records of families bearing the name of Chase, was deemed conclusive proof by Mr. Somerby, as it has been since by other distinguished antiquarians, of the identity of
40
the American with the English families." * * * Aquila® Chase mar- ried [family tradition holds her name to have been Sarah ] and had sons
Aquila,4 born 1618 ; died Newbury, Essex Co., Mass., Dec. 27th, 1670; who married Anna Wheeler, and
Thomas4 Chase, who was of New England as early as 1636; married Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Philbrick of Hampton [Rockingham Co.], N. H., where he died in 1653. Five of their sons are of record.
In the Heralds Visitation of Buckinghamshire of 1634 the coat armor of the Chases of Chesham is given as "Gules, four crosses patonce, ar- gent; on a canton azure, a lion passant, or. Crest, a lion rampant, or, holding between his feet a cross patonce, argent."
Mr. Chase's work connects the Cornish branch with their English ances- tors, for among the descendants of Thomas1 of Hundrich he includes that March& Chase who was the son of Samuel7 and Mary (Dudley) Chase, who were among the earliest settlers of Cornish, N. H.
Dudley8 Chase, son of Samuel7 and brother of March8 Chase of Cor- nish, N. H., was born - 1730; died Apr. 13, 1814; married Aug. 23, 1753, Alice Corbet of Mendon [Worcester Co.], Mass. Children :

The Cutts genealogy published in 1892 is the authority for the following enrolment.
The earliest records of the family give the name as Cutt, and it was not universally known as Cutts until 1745. John, Richard, Robert and Ann Cutt are known by their wills to have been brothers and sister. In 1657 John Cutt is first mentioned in Portsmouth, N. H., records. That these brothers left England for America before 1646 is a family tradition. Rob- ert Cutt went first to the Barbadoes in the West Indies thence to Ports- mouth from that place to Kittery [York Co. ], Maine.
