Instead of Unknown wife and mother: Find A Grave provides a photo of the grave marker of Elizabeth (Holder) Chase (1624-1662), wife of William Chase (1621-1685). There is a dialogue describing Elizabeth's connection to William and her children based on a careful consideration of birth dates.

Chase-9347 and Chase-2265 are not ready to be merged because: more research needs to b done as some information really does not match

Hill-11959 S (Hill) Willson
Chase-9347 and Chase-2265 appear to represent the same person because: same approx birth year, same father, no sources to support -9347 which was added as part of a whole set of duplicated siblings and children to William Chase. Please merge

Chase-4331 and Chase-2265 appear to represent the same person because: Same name, same father, same birth after changes to be consistent with Anderson's Great Migration and his father's profile.

Mounger-571 Katharine (Mounger) Jones
His dates and relationships are impossible, as he was born 20 years after his mother's death and 30 or more years after his siblings.
