| Additional Information |
The Chase family was one of the founding families of Nantucket. They established themselves as seamen; Reuben Chase served under John Paul Jones and was made famous because he was the inspiration for the character Long Tom Coffin in Cooper’s The Pilot: A Tale of the Sea. His brother, Joseph, made regular voyages to France, while Captain Peter Chase ran sealing and cargo vessels to Australia and China. Oliver S Chase, though not a seaman, involved himself as a book-keeper for a shipping company first in Providence, Rhode Island and then in Callao, Peru.
