Notes:

Excerpt from "A Merrill Memorial Vol. 1": Priscilla Chase was a daughter of Aquila Chase, who had come from Cornwall, England, and settled in Hampton, New Hampshire, about 1639. Aquila Chase possessed some skill as a mariner, and for this reason he ws induced by the inhabitants of Newbury, by a grant of land, to join the settlement at the mouth of the Merrimack in 1646. This grant was made "on condition that he do goe to sea and do service in the towne with a boate for four years." His service was probably confined to short coastwise and fishing cruises. Through ten of his eleven children, who grew up and married, Aquila Chase is ancestor of a very numerous family.
