About Jotham Sewall Chase

This is most likely the Jotham Chase of Waterboro, ME, who, on October 11, 1836, alongside Neal Hall, received U.S. Patent No. 46 for their invention of a new shutter-fastener for store windows.

Jotham (1790-1883) was Josiah's youngest son. The name comes from the Old Testament, Judges 9:5, where Jotham was the youngest son of Jerubbaal. The fact that the family chose the name suggests that he was intended to be the last child. Jotham was a manufacturer who lived in various Maine towns--York, Woolwich, and Wiscasset at least--before settling in Boston in 1856. He had ten children by his first wife, Mary Gould.
