1. STEPHEN CHASE had 12 children, six of whom were born in Ellisburg.
On September 10, 1820, after the birth of STEPHEN 27 Aug 1820,
the family sailed from Ellisburg and landed at what is now Lewistown,
Illinois. Eli Chase eventually became a Mormon and made the ardous
trek to Salt Lake. His fascinating narrative is on file at the LDS
library on microfilm # 0000048. Since Stephen Chase was instrumental
in founding the town of Lewistown, Il, perhaps he was also a founder
of Ellisburg.
