  Aquila (1), ±48 in 1666, mariner, although forgotten by Edward Colcord presumably came to Hampton with his brother Thomas "the first summer." He soon married Anne Wheeler and in 1646 removed with her family to Newbury, settling at Newburyport. Lists 391b, 392a, 393b. He coasted between Newburyport and Boston. Will 10 Dec. died 27 Dec. 1670. His widow married 14 June 1672 Daniel Silloway and died 21 Apr. 1687. For grandchildren who came back to N. H., see Chase genealogy. —— The town of Newbury granted him four acres of land for a house on condition he go to sea and do service in the town with a boat for four years. There is a tradition in the Chase family that he brought the first vessel over Newbury Bar.
