Amy Scott Chase was the daughter of Amos and Marian Eastman Scott. Her father was born in Sunderland, Franklin, Massachusetts. His ancestors had settled in Massachusetts before 1649. Later, her grandfather had moved to Vermont where he was later buried. Amy’s mother; Marian Eastman was also born in Rupert. Her parents and ancestors were from Massachusetts and were early emigrants to America.
Amy was married to Abner Chase who’s first ancestor to America was William Chase who came with Governor Winthrop across the ocean as a Puritan.
Abner and Amy raised their children in a staunch Quaker home located on a farm of a large Maple grove where the family obtained maple sugar and syrup.
Abner died on March 21, 1824 and left Amy with their large family. Their youngest child was born that year. The burden of responsibility fell on the shoulders of Amy and the oldest son’s shoulders. Sisson was 14 years old when his father died.
Years later, Amy went to live with Sisson who had married and settled on a larger farm. Her younger sons lived with relatives. The children had all been educated as far as the village school gave them, one-room country school. Drake went to live with sister; Melissa who was married and lived in Detroit, Michigan.
Amy had always remained with her children. Now her boys were out on their own. They had received valuable experience from their kind relatives. It was here that we can see that she had been very independent. She and her family were very anxious to continue their journey westward. It was here she learned to weave the sieves for the threshing machines. These sieves were made by hand. Her son, Solomon had heated the wire in order to make it pliable, then, he hung it in the frame which was made at the factory where he worked. Amy made the sieves and sold them piece by piece. She made quite a salary. They had saved their money for three years and now could buy a span of horses, a wagon and other necessities.
The Chase Family started to Iowa to join their relatives in 1850. Some members of the Chase Family had been driven by the mobs from Nauvoo in 1846. They settled on the Pottowattamie Plains and remained there in the Church settlement for three years. They had been ten years reaching their goal. While in Iowa, a son-in-law; Jacob Bigler gave his mother twin calves stating that they were to bring them to Utah. Solomon raised the calves along with other calves he raised and they were ready for the journey. They again started West in early May 1853. Amy was sixty years-old. She and her son; Sission and his family were part of the Captain Joseph Thorn Company.
Two of her sons went with the Mormon Battalion; John Darwin and Abner Jr. John Darwin joined them in 1846 and then he and brother-in-law; Jacob Bigler, were called to settle Nephi where they lived the rest of their lives. Abner joined in 1846 but died enroute to California November 3, 1846 near Bent’s Fort and was buried by the wayside. John Darwin came to Salt Lake July 24, 1847. Solomon had crossed the plains as did his sister; Amy Lorette and her husband; Joseph Bigler and his sister; Ruth Chilson and her husband; Willard Hutchings and their families. Solomon built and helped operate the first threshing machine in Utah for Brigham Young. He settled in Big Cottonwood Canyon near the native timbers. He moved to Springville, Utah at the time of Johnston’s Army.
The summer of 1853, Sisson and his family came to the Rocky Mountains and they brought with him his mother; Amy Scott Chase. They left with other saints at the request of the church leaders who wrote: “Leave your cabins and your mills and come to Zion.” They left in June and arrived in Salt Lake on September 9, 1853. Some of the Chase Family had come earlier and here, Amy found her boys to be Utah Pioneers. Isaac Chase had established “the old mill” on his farm (now Liberty Park), and he took his mother, Amy Scott Chase, sister-in-law; Miriam and two of her small children to his home to live until the rest of the family came with teams and wagons.
Amy lived with her daughters and sons until her death on April 10, 1872 at age 82 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
