Chase family.

Anthony Chase (1791-1879), son of Israel and Matilda (Butterworth) Chase, was a man of varied interests--a Worcester merchant, part-owner of the _Massachusetts Spy_, official in a Worcester insurance company and in various banks, and an active member of the Quaker church. He married, on 2 June 1819, Lydia Earle (1798-1852), the daughter of Pliny Earle, who developed the manufacture of machine-card cloth in the United States, and of Patience Buffum Earle, sister of Arnold Buffum, the anti-slavery lecturer. Anthony and Lydia had six children: Pliny Earle (1820-1886), scientist and professor at Haverford College; Lucy; Thomas; Eliza Earle (1829-1896); Charles Augustus; and Sarah Earle (1836-1915), teacher with her sister Lucy. All three sons graduated from Harvard College.

Anthony married, second, on 19 April 1854, Hannah Greene (1824-1918), daughter of Daniel and Phebe Greene, of East Greenwich, R.I. They had two children: Emily Greene (1855-1930), who married Joseph Russel Marble (1852-1920); and Frederick Anthony (1858-1862).
