Her father, Seth Manning Chase (1797-1852), was born in Massachusetts, and her mother, Syena Wood (1800-1856), in Vermont. Bishop Chase, and Salmon P. Chase, of Ohio, was a branch of the same family. Seth Chase removed with his family, to Massillon, Ohio, in 1822 when Emily was born, and remained one year, but finding his health greatly impaired by the malaria of that region, returned to Vermont, and in 1836 again came to Ohio and located in Massillon. Here he died in 1852, aged fifty-eight years. His wife died in 1856, aged fifty-six years.
