of Rev. John B. and Rebecca (Winship) Chase, early settlers of Yates and Allegany counties, N. Y. Mr. Chase settled
in Sharon township, Potter county, in 1844, where, for a number of years, he was engaged in farming. In 1865 he
embarked in general mercantile business, in which he successfully continued up to 1878, when ill health compelled
him to retire. Mr. Chase is an honored and respected citizen of Millport. He cast his first presidential vote for
William H. Harrison in 1840, and his last for the grandson, Benjamin Harrison, in 1888.
