Spouse: Calvin
Amburg EMERSON. Calvin Amburg EMERSON and Emma Pratt CHASE (twin) were married
on 18 FEB 1894 in Lynn, Essex County, Massachusetts. Marriage Record,
Lynn Vital Records; Microfilm from Haverhill Library, vol. 442, page 384. Copy
of film of original records in possesion of David Emerson. Emma's parents were
born in West Amesbury and lived there many years. Dispite her death certificate
giving her birht location as Amesbury it appears that she was probably born in
Salisbury. Alfred and Melissa lived there for a while in the late 1860's until
after 1870. There are birth records of two children born to them in Salisbury
on 20 Dec 1867. According to Ella P. and Emma Pratt's death certificates they
were both born that day. So it appears that Ella P. and Emma P. are the two
children born to Alfred and Melissa in Salisbury.
Children were: Alfred Chase EMERSON,
Lester Lincoln EMERSON.

Hon. Enoch Chase, M.D. - He was born at Derby, VT, 16 Jan 1809. He worked on the farm till he was sixteen years of age, when he met with an accident which unfitted him for working on the farm, and caused him to study medicine. In 1831 he graduated from Dartmouth College. In July of that year he settled at Coldwater, Mich. He was appointed adjutant in the Michigan militia, in 1832, in the Black-Hawk War. He removed to Milwaukee, WI, 9 Apr 1835. His family was the first to settle on the south side of the Milwaukee River. He was the only practicing physician in Milwaukee till 1836. He was secretary of the first public meeting held in the place, and drew up the first memorial sent to Congress for an appropriation for a harbor. The first religious service by a Methodist was held in his house in June, 1835. He became a member of the judiciary committee on public lands, and was elected by the settlers at the courthouse, on 13 Mar 1837. When he came to Milwaukee, Solomon Juneau and his employees, Horace Chase, Joel S. Wilcox, Albert Fowler, White J. Evans, and a few transient characters were there, of whom Horace Chase is the only man still a resident. In 1837 he moved to the farm where he now resides. He was a member of the assembly in 1849-51, 1853 and 1870. He received the Whig vote in 1850. He was the third president of the "Old Settlers' Club." In April 1835, there was no tavern between Chicago and Milwaukee. In coming from Coldwater, Mr Chase found considerable difficulty in finding accommodations for his family at night. The first two nights they were obliged to sleep on the "soft side of a floor," and the last night on the bare ground near Oak Creek. Dr Chase was married to Julia Ann Ellsworth, 24 Mar 1835. She died 5 Jan 1837, leaving an infant daughter. He was married to Nancy M. Bromley, 24 Sept 1837, who is the mother of ten children, five of whom are still living. Dr Chase is upright and just; and his word is as good as his bond. He is an obliging man, and a pleasant neighbor.

Hon. Horace Chase - He was born in Derby, Orleans County, VT, 25 Dec 1810. He comes of pioneer and Revolutionary stock. He lived with his parents, and worked on the farm, attending school in the winter. In 1830 he went to Boston, and engaged with Messrs. Baxter, Robinson, and Co. as clerk, until January, 1833, then, with Wilder Pierce, Esq., of Stanstead Plain, Canada East, acting as clerk in his store up to February, 1834. He then went to Boston and New York, where he met with P.F.W. Peck, Esq., who hailed from Chicago. Mr Chase returned with him, and accepted position as clerk in his store. He remained with Mr Peck for some time; then engaged as clerk with Messrs. Kinze and Hall, who kept a large wholesale and retail store. During his stay with Mr Ingersoll, the tavern-keeper, he became acquainted with Archibald Clybourn, who proposed to go into company in the mercantile business. A partnership was entered into for three years; and they decided to start business in Milwaukee, where they put up a small shanty-storehouse in 1835. In April he, with others, opened a road from Root River to the mouth of the Milwaukee River. In 1836 he, with his brother (Dr. Enoch Chase), opened a large and commodious store; and they alone did the forwarding and commission business of what is now the great city of Milwaukee. In October 1837, he was united in marriage to Miss Sarah Ann Grey. He was elected a member of the first Constitutional Convention from Milwaukee County. He was next elected to the first State legislature of Wisconsin, convened at Madison, January 1848. In August 1852, Mr Chase met with a sorrowful bereavement in the loss of his wife. In 1858 he was again married to Miss Mary H. Davis of Mount Holly, VT, who is still living to make his home happy. In 1861 he was elected alderman and supervisor for the fifth ward of the city of Milwaukee, and in 1862 received, through the suffrages of his admiring fellow-citizens, the position of mayor. He has ever discharged his duties to the satisfaction of the people, and is held in high esteem. He has retired on an ample fortune, and the results of his own industry and integrity. --From the "An Illustrated History of the State ofWisconsin-1875", by Charles R. Tuttle
