The Foreign Inheritance.

seems that in 1916, some effort was
mad 10 investigate the claims Of the Chases
al America, TO au estate Of unknown value
in England At that time there was con.
siderable ioclug upon the subject, but the
absence Of records made it very difficult to
make tie chain complete. No move had
bcen made to identify the Chases in this
section With the movements in other parts
&c the country at that time
AZ a convention Of the Chase heirs held
So Boston, Oct. Oh, 1872, it was fully de.
cIiod that fh,rc is property 10 England
awaiting the claims Of said heirs. The
convention appointed q committee Of six TO
investigate aud prepare to lay claims to the
property. There seems now to be deter
Mutation on the part Of the Chases and
Chase connections in this country, to look
iato this matter aud sift it to the bottom.
10 iaat end the committee appointed at
Boston ara empowered to raise funds from
tao heifs to send reliable agents to England
aud thoroughly investigate the matter.
Should any Of the descendants wish in
formation upon the subject they can address
John B. Chase, NJ D., Taunton, Mass
who signifies a desire TO correspond with
the Chases in this vicinity.
Yours truly, E.r.M.
