Notities over William Chase

William Chase, immigrant ancestor and progenitor, was a native of England, where he was born, and with his wife Mary and son William came to New England in the ship with Governor Winthrop in 1630. He settled first at Roxbury, Mass., where soon he became a member of the first church of Roxbury. The record of Rev. John Eliot, the Indian Apostle, of such as adjoined themselves to this church, has the entry: William Chase, he came with the first company, bringing with him his wife Mary and his son William.
On the records of the First Church of Roxbury Mass., we find in .the handwriting of the pastor, Rev. John Eliot, Apostle to the Indians, the following :
William Chase, he came wth the first company, 1630 he brought one child his son william, a child of ill qualitys, & a sore affliction to his parents : he was much afflicted by the long & tedious affliction of his wife; after his wives recovery she bare him a daughter, wch they named mary borne aboute the midle of the 3d month. 1637. he did after yt remove

On October 19, 1630, he applied for admission as a freeman, and was admitted on May 14, 1634. William Chase was subsequently a town officer of Roxbury, and a prominent man in its early life and affairs. In 1638 he was one of the pioneer company which settled the town of Yarmouth, of which he was chosen constable in 1639. In 1645 he served against the Narragansetts. He died in Yarmouth in May, 1656. His will, dated May 4, 1659 [sic], and proved May 13 of the same year, states that he was aged. He bequeathed to his wife Mary, and two sons, Benjamin and William. His widow died in October, 1660.

Unlike Aquila, who, with his descendants, helped make the history of the locality where he first appeared, William does not seem to have been identified to any extent with this immediate section. A few years later the church records locate him at Roxbury, and then he settled in Yarmouth, from whence his descendants have spread until they can probably be found in every state in the Union.

Last Will and Testament dated 4 May 1659, deposed 13 May 1659.
