In Overview, there appears the surname spelling of "Chase"—a prominent surname in Chesham. By including "Chase" as an alternate surname, it leads to unnecessary confusion. It seems Chase and Case were very different families in Chesham, with Chase being more prominent. For example. consider the following error people make:—

Name: Rychard Chaase
Baptism: 23 Aug 1542 Chesham, Buckingham, England
Father: Thomas Chaase
"England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975", database, FamilySearch
Data Published: 4 February 2023
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:N52Y-6VS

Apart from the decade differential and name, this baptism refers to a Richard Chase, who died in 1611: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/138573811/richard-chase

This Richard Case profile does not compute with the Chases as presented in the book: "Seven Hundred Ancestors" – Chapter XII. Chase

Oops. The inclusion of Chase in Overview is to denounce it as being the same. I'll include some of this to add to the Overview.

Dear Ken,

Do not confuse with Richard2 Chase of Chesham m. Joan Bishop, April 16, 1564.

Chase and Case families in Chesham were netirely different.

Do not mistakenly accept the thinking errors others make. For example, the following record does not apply to this Richard:
Name: Rychard Chaase
Baptism: 23 Aug 1542 Chesham, Buckingham, England
Father: Thomas Chaase
"England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975", database, FamilySearch
Note the decade differential between this profile's birth and the baptism. This refers to to a Richard Chase, who died in 1611: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/138573811/richard-chase
Richard Case should not be conflated with the Chase lineage represented in this source:

Just found an interesting record.

The Hundred of Launditch and Deanery of Brisley: In the County of Norfolk: Evidences and Topographical Notes from Public Records, Heralds' Visitations, Wills, Court Rolls, Old Charters, Parish Registers, Town Books, and Other Private Sources : Digested and Arranged as Materials for Parochial, Manorial, and Family History, Volume 1. By George Alfred Carthew (1877). Page 166. < GoogleBooks >

The family of CASE occupied so large a space in the parish registers of Great Fransham during the latter part of the seventeenth and the whole of the eighteenth century, that I think it is a case requiring particular notice. If the family were not indigenous to the soil (and we find them first in the adjoining parish of Necton) it struck deep root there, and had extensive ramifications, some of which, I believe, are still flourishing, although the parent stock has died out. I first take the extracts from parish registers.
