Seeking evidence of the children of Abner Chase & his wife, Mercy Marsh (d. 1855), who are buried in the W. Walworth Cemetery. Their daughter, Charlotte Miller is buried near them on the Sylvester Miller plot. In the 1850 Walworth census, there is an Andrew Chase born abt 1805 of the right age to be their first son. He dies in 1851 in Geuaga Co., Ohio where another possible Chase son is living at that time, Charles Chase (1809-1884). There were other children, but so far these are the only strong prospects. Any help appreciated.

not related and 'don't know' but maybe this could be a lead..

If Andrew was a son of Abner, the 1840 census says he was born in MAss...so..

while searching thur some books, this caught my attention..

I wonder if a "LYMAN CHASE" might be a son..

.. (see below for bio) ... Esther G. Chase, a native of Walworth, born in March, 1836, a daughter of Lyman and Martha A. (Andrews) Chase, natives of Massachusetts, he coming to Walworth in 1819, where he died. He was a cooper by trade and farmer, and they had nine children.

Thanks for your time and the info. I will add it to my Chase file. Lyman Chase tells the census taker in both 1850 and 1860 that he was born in Vermont. I find him in the Walworth Cemetery:
Lot 41

HOYT, Esther C., wife of Daniel, Dec. 31, 1894, 58y
CHASE, Lyman 1790 - 1864
CHASE, Comfort, wife & dau. Thomas & Alice GREEN, 1800-1829
CHASE, George, son of Lyman & C., 1821 - 1823

BURK, Mary E. CHASE, wife, 1840 - Oct. 2, 1927
[note: date for either Comfort or Lyman Jr. probably wrong]

Abner Chase was definitely from MA, but I'm not sure abt Lyman. Lyman is about the right age to be a brother to Abner. We'll see. Next time I am in NY I will check the family files at the Historian's Office in Lyons.
Thanks so much.
