BIOGRAPHY
PHILIP CHASE - Blacksmith and Innholder
On 15 September 1 731, Philip Chase bought a farm in Sutton, Massachusetts from E. Johnson for t he sum of ¹1,100 current money. He
probably settled in Sutton soon after, as records show that in February 1732 he received pay for work done on highways in 1731. On
25 January 1732 a town meeting was held at his home. A receipt dated Ipswich, 10 May 1738, signed by James McHard, for money received by the hand of Thomas Follansbee for Wm. Follansbee. A receipt was given, signed by Philip and Mary Chase, which is as follows: "Newbury, July 5, 1755. Then recei ved of William Follansbee two pounds, thirteen shillings and four pence lawful money, in full of a legise which was given to Mary Chase by her honored fathe r Thomas Follansbee, in his last will and testament. Received by us."
Plank Tavern / The Old Sutton Tavern
Notes from the History of Sutton, 1878
The building, one of the most ancient landmarks of Sutton, known in early times as the "Plank Tavern," and in later years as the old Sutton Tavern, was built about the year 1727 by Philip Chase. ... in 1724 he moved into Sutton. After his death his son Follansbee came into the possession of the tavern, paying the other heirs their portion. After the decease of Follansbee it came into possession of Thomas Follansbee Chase, who occupied it as a residence until the year 1800, when he removed to Paris, Maine. The tavern in its construction differed for the ordinary buildings of the period.
As will be seen by the engraving that represents it as it originally appeared, the siding consists of thick oak planks nailed perpendicularly to the frame, and at each end of the upper corners the planking is placed diagonally, for the purpose of giving additional strength in bracing the buildilng. The clapboards were not added until a later period. They were cloven by hand and fastened by hand-made nails, cut nails being then unknown.
The chimney was massive in size, and the fire-places throughout the building were of ample dimensions. The foundation of the chimney, laid with huge stones, occupied nearly one-third of the cellar. The interior was double-lathed and plastered, rendering it a remakrably warm house in coldest weather.
The windows had glass 6x8 inches, and the sash were of unequal size, the upper ones contianing eight lights and the lower ones twelve. The building was owned by different members of the Chase family upward of three-quarters of a century. The portrait is from a silhouette likeness of Thomas Follansbee Chase, the last one of the family to whom it beloned. He sold it to Paul and Luther Whiting, from whom it passed into the possession of M. M. Hovey, and from him was purchased by the present owner, Mr. S.B. Holbrook, who was recently removed the building a short distance to the rear of its original location. Tradition tells us that the old tavern was a noted gathering place previous to and during the war for independence, but history supplies little information respecting the scenes and incidents that transpired there.
