The Chase Manhattan Bank began in 1799 as a local water company in NewYork
City. A group of New York civic leaders, led by Alexander Hamilton andAaron
Burr approached the New York City Council and suggested creating a private
water company called The Manhattan Company. With the surplus capital from
the water company The Bank of The Manhattan Company was created. In 1877,
another bank called the Chase National Bank had been founded, in New York,
by John Thompson. The 75-year old Thompson, a former school teacher and a
specialist in currency values, named the bank after Salmon P. Chase,Abraham
Lincoln's Secretary of Treasury who had led the fight for passage of the
landmark National Banking Act of 1863. The marriage of The Bank of
Manhattan, the nation's 15th largest, and the Chase National Bank, the
nation's third largest, occurred on March 31, 1955 and the Chase Manhattan
Bank was born. (Information derived from The Chase Manhattan News.)

A note from the Chase Chronicles - Oct. 1918
THE CHASES AS WHALEMENBy a Nantucketer
"On or about the year 1675, Leut. Issac Chase, the son of Thomas
Chase, our early ancestor, having married as his second wife, at
Hampton, N.H., Mary Tilton of Chilmark, Mass., on the island of
Martha's Vineyard, left the New Hampshire settlement and made a new
home for himself and his family on that island, and later on, his son,
James in the same roving spirit crossed over the intervening waters,
about twenty miles, and took up his abode in the neighboring island of
Nantucket.>From him, as ancestor, The Chases of Nantucket, once a rather
prominent family were and are descended.The original settlement of Nantucket like that of other settlements in
this country was the result of religious persecution. The Pilgrim
Fathers came to Plymouth that they might have freedom to worship God
according to the dictates of their own judgments and consciences, but
they had no sooner become established in their new home, than they
made life so hot for their assistant pastor Rev. Roger Williams who
preferred the theology of the Baptist denomination that three years
later he retreated to Salem; but there he found the same intolerance,
and in 1636 he was expelled from that colony and, with a few
followers, founded at Providence. a new colony where religious liberty
should exist in fact and not merely in name.In like manner Mrs. Ann Hutchinson having professed and taught to
others doctrines regarded as heretical, was excommunicated from the
church in Boston and banished from the colony, and on March 28, 1638
departed with her household to Aquindneck, R. I. near Providence. But
after a short residence there, her Massachusetts persecutors compelled
her to move again, this time to New York where later on she was burned
to death in her own house, in an incendiary fire set by hostile
Indians.The earliest settler in Nantucket was one Thomas Macy, who, having
emigrated from England in 1640, had lived for nearly twenty years in
Salisbury, Mass.During that time, laws had been enacted against Quakers and all
persons giving them aid and comfort, and as Macy confessed to having
given shelter for about an hour during a rain storm to four travelers,
who afterwards were found to be Quakers, he found it wise to leave
Salisbury and go with his family to some place where Christian
hospitality was not regarded as a crime. Nantucket inhabited only by
pagan Indians seemed to be such a place and in the Fall of 1659 he
embarked with his family and one Edward Starbuck, taking such
household effects as he could carry, and coasting along the shore in
an open sail-boat, he finally reached Nantucket, which he and other
Salisbury residents had purchased from the original grantees.He was soon followed by other families, peaceful relations were
established with the Indians and, when James Chase and his companions
arrived , there was already a thriving village upon the island.The soil, though generally sandy, was fertile in some parts of the
island, cod and other fish were plenty in the surrounding waters, and
no difficulty was experienced by the settlers in gaining by farming
and fishing a comfortable subsistence, and the settlement became more
and more prosperous.Whales were frequently seen around the island and whaling in boats
from the shore soon became a profitable occupation.
The settlers soon discovered, what many people of today have not yet
learned, that, notwithstanding its similarity in appearance and life
in the water, a whale is not a fish, but like the seal and walrus is a
mammalian animal producing its young alive and suckling them as a cow
does her calf with the results that female whales are, by whalemen,
called "cows," male whales "bulls." and young whales "calves." The fat
called "blubber" from which, by "trying out," the oil is obtained,
surrounds the body as does the fat of a hog. But whaling from the
shore continued for only a limited period. Persistent whaling killed
very many whales and those that were left alive soon became shy and
retreated farther and farther from the shore, until at length, whaling
was conducted in larger vessels until finally ships were employed, and
voyages in search of whales occupied months and even years. The
Chases, like their fellow townsmen, joined in pursuit of whales.
Beginning as common sailors, many gradually rose to be captains, and
from the record of Nantucket Whaling Captains since 1815 the following
table of Chase captains is compiled.TO BE CONTINUED UNDER THE TITLE,

Capt. Charles H. Chase; ship - Apphia Maria; sailed - May 23, 1855;
condemned at Valparaiso, Mar. 1859.Whaling, like many another industry had its beginning, its rise, its
culmination and its decline. Whaling first in boats from the shore,
was followed by the use of small vessels, and then at length by ships
which made long voyages for sperm whales to the warmer water of the
Atlantic and Pacific and Indian Oceans, and for right whales to the
colder waters of the northern Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and the
Arctic Seas.Its culmination came between 1840 and 1845 when Nantucket was the
greatest whaling port in the world, with a fleet of nearly a hundred
vessels, most of them ships.Then came its decline, caused chiefly by the growing scarcity of
whales, the increasing expense of conducting the business with its
longer voyages, and smaller returns, the rise of other oils and the
establishment and competition of other whaling ports.Ships were sold to New Bedford and other places, and smaller vessels
were again employed which made short voyages in the waters of the
Atlantic coasts of the United States and Canada, until finally the
last whaling vessel was sold and the business which had made Nantucket
well known throughout the world came to an end.The last whaling voyage under a Chase as captain ended unhappily in
1859, but the record for previous years had been good and sometimes
brilliant. All through the whaling period, besides the Chases who rose
to be captains were others bearing the name who worthily filled
subordinate positions, and the record of the Chases as whalemen is one
of which the family may well be proud."_________________
