      Chase Family
      The Chase Mill, it is said, was first built by Enoch Thomas, then passed to Bumgardner, and afterward to Chase, some have Bumgardner first built the mill.

      The Chase family lived on Mill Creek two miles below Ripley. The father was Lawrence Chase, who was born in 1833, and died in 1907. He married a Hogsett. Their children, Benjamin Chase, a color bearer, was killed in the Confederate Army. He married Elizabeth Wetzel. Jonathan Chase married a sister of G.W. Sayre. Henry Chase was born April 8th, 1836, and died April 5th, 1906.

      This sketch taken from "Pioneers of Jackson County", by John House, it appears in the section "Heart of Mill Creek"

      [There is obviously a mistake here - Lawrence was the older brother, not the father. bb]
