1. AQUILA¹ CHASE, born about 1618, came to New England about 1639.^(a) In June, 1640, he and his brother, Thomas Chase, were granted land at Hampton, New Hampshire. Both are called seamen and it seems likely that they had been sailors on one of the boats, that were bringing settlers to the New England coast. There is no indication that either man had learned a trade or that either was of the Puritan faith. Both brothers signed documents with their marks.

  Aquila Chase married about 1644 Anne, daughter of John and Ann (Yeoman) Wheeler of Hampton, and formerly of Salisbury, county Wilts, England. In 1646 the town of Newbury, Massachusetts, offered him a grant of land on condition that he "do goe to sea and do service in the town with a boat for four years." He removed to Newbury the same year. He was commander of a coasting vessel between Newburyport and Boston. His oldest child was born at Hampton, the others at Newbury. He died at Newbury, December 21, 1670, aged 52, having lived there twenty-four years. His widow Anne married, secondly, Daniel Mussilloway, a young Irishman, 25 years of age. She died April 21, 1687. After her death Daniel Mussilloway married again and raised a family.^(b)

  2. THOMAS² CHASE (Aquila¹) was born at Newbury, Massachusetts, July 25, 1654, and was sixteen years old when his father died. In 1675 he served in King Philip's War in Capt.

Thomas Chase married first, November 22, 1677, Rebecca, daughter of Thomas and Mary Follansbee, born about 1660. She died December 27, 1711. He married, secondly, August 2, 1714, Elizabeth Moores, probably a widow, who surveved him. He died at Newbury, Febraury (sic) 25, 1733^(f),
