"It often happens that the outcasts of one generation are those who are reverenced as the wisest and best of men by the next. The securest fame is that which comes after a man's death."

"The people of bygone ages seem infinitely remote from us. We do not feel justified in ascribing to them any underlying intentions beyond those they formally express; we are amazed when we come upon a sentiment more or less akin to what we feel today in a Homeric hero, or a skillful tactical feint by Hannibal during the battle of Cannae, where he let his flank be driven back in order to take the enemy by surprise and encircle him; it is as though we imagined the epic poet and the Carthaginian general to be as remote from ourselves as an animal seen in a zoo."

The information on this website is intended to record the Chace lines descended from the enigmatic William Chace of England. From where in Blighty did he originate? Essex, probably. All we know for certain is that he and his family arrived with Governor Winthrop to establish the Massachussetts Bay Colony in 1630. You might also find a bit on this website about the equally mysterious Aquila and Thomas Chase also from old Blighty, and lately of Martha's Vineyard.
