Much confusion has arisen due the placement of this Sarah (March) Chase in the wrong parental family in the 1928 Chase genealogy. That otherwise estimable work shows her as having been the daughter of George Chase. However, the will of her father, Hugh March, conclusively proves that she was his daughter. George also had a daughter Sarah, born at nearly the same time in the same town, but George's daughter Sarah Chase married Humphrey Deering.
