Intentions of Marriage
...
Nov. 1st 1801 - Between Mr Aaron Chase and Mrs Abigail Briggs both of Orange
↑ Source:Chase, John Carroll. Seven Generations of the Descendants of Aquila and Thomas Chase, p. 159, seems unaware of the death of Aaron's first wife and his second marriage, but this marriage occurring just 1 year after the death of the first wife, this is surely Aaron's marriage (his son being only 10).
The identification of the wife is more speculative, but she is of a suitable age, her brother Simeon married in Warwick in 1802, and at current, no known alternative marriage has been discovered. Further, they seem to have had no children, suggesting she was an older woman like this, and not a young girl. Very little evidence of this couple is found after their marriage, and specifically, no direct evidence has been noticed yet to show this is correct.
