BAfter talking to Ed Chase, it is easy to believe that he is somehow descended from all 30 of Suffield’s original proprietors. On his father’s side, Ed can count back to seven generations in America, tracing them from Hampton, New Hampshire, the Connecticut River Valley, Springfield and then Suffield.
