(*7123) 1, Chase, Sherman. In the Transcript of Oct. 15, 1902, I find an account of the Sherman family by E. E. P.; also later in the answered (numbered *5800) the Chase family by same correspondent. May I ask which Sarah Sherman married Joseph (3), daughter of Peleg (2) (Philip 1), born 1679, is given as marrying Joseph Chase; also Sarah (3) (Samson 2, Philip 1). Can anyone give me the mother of Joseph (2) Chase? E. E. P. says he is son of second wife of William (2) (William 1).

2. Chase, Buffington. One son of Jospeh (3) Chase was Stephen (4), born March 2, 1709. He died in Cornwallis (N. H. or N. S.) June 23, 1790. He had four wives. I do not know the first; the second was Esther Buffington, whose parents and marriage date I want. He married, third, Abigail Porter, and fourth, Nancy Burhill.

3. Chase, Blethen. Stephen (5) Chase, Jr’s marriage intention was entered in Georgetown records Oct. 4, 1760. She was called “Hanah Bilfeth” of Swansea, Mass. Her parents desired.

4. Ayers. “Five Colonial Families,” Vol. __, gives John Ayer of Newbury, 1635, wife Hannah. Will, proved Oct. 6, 1637?, says he was son of Thomas Ayer, County of Dorset, England, and born 1590?, in Wiltshire, England. In 1692 widow Hannah deeds land to her son, Robert, etc.

Essex Antiquarian gives his births as 1592 and the death of his wife Hannah as Oct. 8, 1688; also says that he came in ship Mary Ann, 1637, and was registered in passenger list as John Eyre, grocer, of Norwich. These dates are conflicting. Can proof be given of either?

5. Evered. A John Evered, alias Webb, from Marlboro, England, 1635; Boston merchant, 1665; mentions in will “sons of John Ayer,” also “Rebecca, wife of John Aslebe?.” As she was the daughter of John (1) Ayer and wife Hannah, is it not probable that Hannah was an Everard? Can anything be given about this John Evered (alias Webb)? I find in “Newes from New England,” page 107, the following: “About 150 leagues from Boston eastward is the Isle of Sables whither one John Webb, alias Evered, an active man, with his company, are gone with commission from the Bay to get seahorse teeth and oyle.”

Winthrop records in his journal, page 34, that “the merchants of Boston sent a vessel to the Isle of Sable with twelve men, and brought home 400 pair of sea-horse teeth which were estimated worth L300, and left 12 ton of oil and many skins which they could not bring away, being put from the island in a storm.”

A John Webb sold land and house in Braintree to Samuel Allen, April 19, 1648. Perhaps “Braintree” can help on this Webb-Evered problem.

Samuel Appleton of Ipswich married in Preston, England, Jan. 24, 1616, Judith Everard. Is anything known of her family? The following is an extract from a will: “Captain John Everedd als. Web of Drawcut, mentions in will: Bro. Wm. Dinsdald. Cousins: John, Robert, Thomas, Peter and Nat. Eyres, of Haverhill.” Also, “Eldest son of John Bishop, late of Newbury, now at Nantucket.” Marriage records Feb. 10, 1665; 13, 9, 1668.
