Nancy Logings (1988): Jonathan was the leader of a Methodist Episcopal Church class for 41 years. He resided in Yorkville, Oneida Co., NY in 1832, in Summit Co., OH in 1840, and in Roxbury, Dane Co., Wi in 1850. "Father was Revolutionary War Soldier. Ancestors from England before war. She says "...the Chases traveled with a number of families from N.Y. (Perhaps by wagon train?) The Moon and Bowers family are two. They all moved from N.Y. and settled in Summit Co., Ohio and then to Dane Co., Wisc. in 1850...Jonathan was a great reader of the Bible."

http://users.ap.net/~chenae/chipobit.html: January 16, 1873, Eau Claire Free Press, Contributed by Mary Shelton: The funeral of the old patriarch, Chase, took part in Lake Street M.E. Church at two o'clock yesterday, January 15th, 1873 and was very largely attended by the citizens, of whom a great many followed the body to it's resting place. The old man was known to almost everybody in Eau Claire, and while his personal helplessness had long appealed to their sympathy, his unwelcomed intellect and memory reaching back almost to the foundation of the Republic, made him a really interesting acquaintance, though his education was limited and he was very poor. He was born in the state of New York in 1789, and retained a very clear recollection of the earliest events of our history since the Revolution. For the past four years he lived alone in a small house built for him by some of his numerous allies, where he was daily visited by the children, and though during his last week or so on earth, he had consented to take refuge from the extreme weather wth a son who recently came to settle in Eau Claire, it appears that he returned to his shanty on Sunday night and died there as he had lived. His decendants to the fourth generation are very numerous and live in all parts of Eau Claire and the adjoining counties.

He married Sally Matteson (131) (A155).
