Chase family

src: theghosthuntuk.com

The Chase family is an American family involved in politics in the 19th century. Originating in Chesham, England, brothers Aquila Chase II and Thomas Chase journeyed to New England in 1636, shortly after the Pilgrims. Most of the notable members of the family were descendants of Aquila Chase, whose children settled in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. In the late 1700s and early 1800s, members of the Chase family, who had previously been wealthy but not particularly influential, began involving themselves in law, politics, and religion. Lawyers such as Scott Lord (whose mother was a Chase) and Salmon Portland Chase, Chief Justice of the United States, were produced. Chase politicians included Dudley Chase, Champion S. Chase, Dudley Chase Denison, and Margaret Chase Smith. Though the Chase politicians were perhaps best known, the family produced several notable clergymen as well, including Episcopal bishop and educator Philander Chase and the Presbyterian theologian John Chase Lord, who were at the forefronts of their respective churches in their prime.

Maps Chase family

Other notable members

Dudley Chase Haskell, U.S. Representative representing Kansas, was born in Vermont. His mother, Almira Chase, was a descendant of William Chase, brother of Aquila and Thomas Chase. His ancestors likely came over in the years following the original 1636 arrival of Aquila and Thomas in what is now Massachusetts.
Margaret Chase Smith, U.S. Senator from Maine, was descended from the original Chase brothers.
Philander Chase Johnson, journalist, and Philander Chase Knox, US Secretary of State, were probably members of the family. The uncommon name Philander Chase likely came from the famous bishop of the same name.
