Aquila1 Chase (c1619-1670) and Ann (Wheeler) Chase (1621-1687)AQUILA1 CHASE was born in England about 1619.1 His ancestry is not known.2

The first appearance of Aquila Chase in the New England records is Hampton, N. H. in June, 1640, when he and his brother Thomas received grants of house lots.3

ANN2 WHEELER (JOHN1) was baptized at St. Edmund’s church, Salisbury, Wiltshire, England on 13 May 1621.4 She came to Massachusetts with her parents about 1639.

Aquila Chase married Ann Wheeler about 1644.5

In 1646, the town of Newbury, Mass. granted Aquila Chase a four-acre house lot and a six-acre planting lot, plus six acres of marsh, “on condition that he doe goe to sea and do service in the towne with a boate for four years.“6

Aquila and Ann Chase lived the rest of their lives in Newbury. Aquila Chase signed the Robert Pike petition in May 1654 (see the discussion of this controversy in the sketch on John2 Bailey, supra.).7

Aquila Chase of Newbury made his will on 10 Dec 1670. He mentions his wife Ann, daughters Ann Chase, Priscilla Chase, Sarah Chase, Ann Chase, Priscilla Chase, Ruth Chase; sons Thomas Chase (not yet 21), Aquila Chase (eldest son), John Chase, Daniel Chase, and Moses Chase, and “sonn in law Charles.”8

Aquila Chase died in Newbury later that same month.9 His inventory was taken 21 Jan 1670[/71] by Edmund Woodman and John Bayley and totaled £336.14s.3d.10 His will was proved on 28 Mar 1671.11

After Aquila’s death, on 14 Jun 1672 in Newbury, Ann Chase married Daniel Mussiloway of Newbury, a man almost 20 years her junior.12 Ann (Wheeler) (Chase) Mussiloway died on 21 Apr 1687.13

Aquila and Ann (Wheeler) Chase had the following children, all except Sarah born in Newbury:

On 29 Sep 1646, while still living in Hampton, Aquila Chase ran afoul

of the law, when he, his wife, and his brother-in-law Daniel Wheeler

were accused of gathering peas on the Sabbath. The authorities were

delayed in prosecuting the Chases, for they had decamped for Newbury,

but they did catch up with the miscreants a year and a half later.

When they appeared in court for the offense on 28 Mar 1648 they beat the rap with nothing more than an

admonishment. [Smith, Ancestry of Samuel Blanchard Ordway, 166,

citing Essex Co. Quarterly Court Records 1:55:1 and 1:139]

The testimony of Elinor Bailey, midwife of Newbury, she being at the labor of Ann Chase … heard her say that living with Henry Wheeler in Salisbury as a servant she went from the house of her master to lodge at the house of Richard Hubberd, and left this man John Allen in her master’s house, and she knew nothing of his coming from thence until he met her by the way … and suddenly laid hands upon her. This she constantly affirmed, being in labor and extremity about 6 days and in appearance at the point of death. “I often told her that it was likely her pains continued the longer because she had not spoken the truth; her constant answer was that if she died for it, she had spoken the truth and nothing else.”18

Chase Family

Isaac2 Chase (1650-1727) and Mary (Tilton) Chase (d. 1746)ISAAC2 CHASE (THOMAS1) was born on 1 Apr 1650 in Hampton, N. H..140 He became a Quaker.141

Isaac Chase married Mary Perkins on 20 Feb 1673 in Hampton.142 She was the daughter of Isaac and Susanna Perkins, born in Hampton 23 Jun 1658.143 She died very soon, perhaps in childbirth, although there are no children recorded for her.144

Isaac Chase moved to Tisbury, on Martha’s Vineyard, in 1674.145 He was not made welcome, probably because of his Quaker views:

The townsmen of Tysbury do not give unto isack chace of Hampton liberty to settle in the town.146

Like many other Seventeenth Century New England Quakers, Isaac Chase was not easily dissuaded; he settled in Tisbury anyway and lived there for the rest of his life.

Isaac Chase married MARY TILTON on 5 Dec 1675 in Tisbury.147

Isaac Chase made his will on 12 Feb 1721/22. In it he mentions his wife Mary; his daughters Rachel Knight, Mary Weeks, Hannah Pease, Sarah Cobb, and Priscilla Folger; his sons Abraham, James, Joseph, and Jonathan Chase; his grandchildren Thomas and Sarah Chase, children of his son Thomas Chase, deceased; and six grandchildren, unnamed, children of his son Isaac Chase, deceased.148

Isaac Chase died in Tisbury on 19 May 1727.149 His will was proved on 7 Jul 1727.150

Mary Chase died in Tisbury on 14 Jun 1746, in her 88th year.151

Isaac and Mary (Tilton) Chase had the following children, all born in Tisbury:

Mary Tilton’s approximate birth date calculated from her gravestone age

of 88 years at her death in 1746 would have her born about 1654;

however, this makes her 49 when her last child was born, so it is likely that her age at death was overstated by a

few years. Chase and Chamberlain, 482, say that she was the daughter

of William1 Tilton, but Davis, Massachusetts and Maine Families,

3:455, argues that this is improbable; she would necessarily have to have

been born by 1653 (when William Tilton died), which would make her

50 at the birth of her last child. Davis speculated that she was probably

an illegitimate daughter of Samuel2

(William1) Tilton by a liaison that occurred before his marriage.

Notes for Chase Family1 On 14 May 1669 he deposed

that he was aged about 50 years. [Dean Crawford Smith, The Ancestry of Samuel Blanchard Ordway, 1844-1916 (Boston, 1990) (hereafter cited as Smith, Ancestry of Samuel Blanchard Ordway), 168, citing “Suffolk Files” 924]

2 The theory that Aquila and his brother Thomas were the sons of Aquila Chase, merchant tailor of London, has been disproved.

3 Smith, Ancestry of Samuel Blanchard Ordway, 166. That Thomas and Aquila were brothers is proved by a deed cited by Smith on page 168, in which Aquila refers to “my brother Thomas Chace of Hampton.” [Norfolk Deed 2:122]

86 Smith, Ancestry of Samuel Blanchard Ordway, 177, for the place. Smith estimates a birth date of 1665. However, at her death in 1708 she was described as age 40 years, and since Smith does not give his reasons for disagreeing with the obvious arithmetic, I think that 1668 is a better guess. That would make her about 16 at her marriage, younger than the average but certainly not outside the normal range for the times.

Chase Family

History of the Grants of 1736 & 1771 together with Personal Sketches, a Copious Genealogical Register, and an Appendix (Paris, Me., 1884), 554. Chase & Chamberlain, Seven Generations, 411, give him two wives, Nancy H. Stevens (married 26 Mar 1837) and Harriet Barrett (married 28 Oct 1845). Since Solomon Chase was living in Paris at the time that Lapham and Maxim published their book, I think it safe to assume that they knew the name of his wife. It is possible that Mehitable was a third wife, and that the information given in Chase & Chamberlain is also correct.

Cemeteries, 273. Chase & Chamberlain do not list him among Peter Chase’s children and he is not listed with Peter Chase’s family in the Paris VR. However, he is shown as a son of Peter Chase in West Paris & Paris Cemeteries. It is likely that he died very young, perhaps at birth or shortly thereafter.
