The Chase family constructed this center hall house in 1799. Federal Trim decorates fireplaces and a unique brick summer kitchen can be seen in the basement.(34)
Daniel, of Newbury, marries Abigail Currier, int. Feb. 16, 1793.
1793: Daniel Chase purchases goods from Zebulon Ingersoll. He also seemed to hire a boat “trip to port” in December of 1793. Also bought a pair of shoes for Abigail and paid off part of his account with 1 pair of men’s shoes (Zebulon Account book pg 51) In December 1795, he hired a “chaise to Newburyport” from Zebulon Ingersoll.
Daniel was the son of David Chase Jr. (David, John, Aquilla) and Sarah Johnson. He was born 10 Apr 1774 in Newbury, and died 14 May 1841 in Newbury. Abigail Currier was born 9 Jul 1769 in Haverhill and the daughter of Asa Currier and Rebekah Plummer.
Daniel is the brother of Simeon, Benjamin, Nicholas, Hannah, David, and Sarah.
“As Mr. Daniel Chase and wife of Rocks Village, who had just moved into their new house, …, were at breakfast one morning, the kitchen not being lathed overhead, or chamber floor completed, on looking up they saw Harry’s (Spoollet) feet swinging through, and with a crash he came suddenly upon the table, being, we fancy, not quite so welcome an appendage as a good roast pig or turkey.” (31, page 102/103)
Daniel and Abigail sold the land and house to Benjamin Chase (Daniel’s Nephew who married Betsey Ladd) in 1814 and appear to have moved back to Newbury as that is where Daniel died. Can not find any record of children.
Land was once owned by William Cutler and that at that time a distillery and a tannery were on part of the land.
