I have removed the original biography text as it related to Mary Frost, the daughter of Joseph Frost who was the son of Hon. John Frost and Mary Pepperrell Frost.

Stephen Chase, Merchant, of Portsmouth, was graduated at Harvard College in 1764. In 1778, he removed from Newcastle to Portsmouth, where he died in 1805. He was a gentleman of much literary culture, and was on of the founders of the Portsmouth Athenaeum, for which he drew up the Constitution and By-Laws. He married Mary, daughter of Joseph Frost, Esquire, of Newcastle, and grand-daughter of the Honorable John Frost, who was born at Kittery, March 1, 1683, and who in early life, as an officer in the Royal Navy, commanded a British ship of war, and was of the Governor's Council in 1727. He married Mary, daughter of William and sister of the first Sir William Pepperrell, Baronet. The mother of Mary (Frost) Chase was Margaret, daughter of Samuel Colton of Springfield."
