From "Seven Generations of the descendants of Aquila and Thomas Chase" page 30, a passage that establishes Aquila Chase was the brother of Thomas Chase:
"On May eleventh, 1667, Aquila Chase of Newbury acknowledged that he sold unto his brother Thomas Chase of Hampton, all his land in Hampton excepting a dwelling and one acre and a half of land which had been sold about twenty years before the date of these presents (Old Norfok County Deeds,2:122)
From "History of Buckingham and Stafford Counties, New Hampshire, with Biographical Sketches of many of its Pioneers and Prominent Men", published in 1882, page 381:
Amos C. Chase - The Chase family came originally for England, three brothers, William, Thomas, and Aquila, being the immigrants in the early days of the colony, and from these have sprung the numerous families of that name throughout the country. Thomas and Aquila settled in Hampton and Newbury.
From "Seven Generations of the descendants of Aquila and Thomas Chase" page 475
"Thomas Chase and His Descendants
Thomas(1) Chase, a brother of Aquila (2), first appears in New England, at Hampton, NH among the second group of settlers there having a grant of land in June 1640. (HIstory of Hampton 1:18). He married about 1642, Elizabeth Philbrick (Philbrook), daughter of Thomas and Elizabth Philbrick who settled in Watertown as early as 1636 and removed to Hampton in 1645."
"He and his brother Aquila received grants at the same time. Fourteen persons had received grants on 24 Dec 1639, and one person on 14 Jan 1640. These earliest grants were of large tracts for farms but those made in June 1640, to the number of fifty-six, were small tracts for house lots."
"On 23 February 1645/6 there were granted to sixty proprietors of house lots in Hampton, one or more shares in the "common". Aquila Chase received one share, and Thomas Chase two shares while some others received three shares. The common land had been already divided in 147 shares which were given to those who had house lots. (Down's History of Hampton, 1:33)"
"Thomas Chase was married about two or three years before his brother was married and he not only had a wife on 23 Feb 1545/6, but at least two small children. This is why he received two shares of the common lands while his brother had only one."
"Down in his History of Hampton (2:635) states that Thomas was 'the elder of the brothers'. It is believed that this statement is based on the fact that Thomas married and was the father of two children before the marriage of Aquila. If the inference is correct Thomas Chase must have been born as early as 1617, or possibly one or two years earlier."
"No statement of the age of Thomas(1) Chase has been found in any record."
