Isaac Chase. Isaac Chase was the first of the family to settle in Martha's Vineyard. He is descended from the Chase family of Chesham, Buckinghamshire, England, through his father Thomas, his grandfather Aquila (baptized 14 Aug. 1580), and his great grandfather Richard (baptized 23 Aug. 1542, married Joan Bishop 15 May 1564). Isaac first came to Martha's Vineyard in 1674. He was a blacksmith and a quaker. For more on the Chase family, see The Chase Family from The History of Martha's Vineyard by Charles E. Banks. Isaac Robinson was the son of the Pilgrims' beloved pastor, John Robinson. Rev. John Robinson was the leader of the Pilgrims during their thirteen years in Leyden, Holland. He had planned to accompany the Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower, but obligations to his parishioners remaining in Holland forced him to postpone his trip. He died unexpectedly of the plague in 1626 and never saw the new world. See his farewell letter written to those of his parish who sailed the Mayflower here. Much of the language and tone of the Mayflower Compact was taken from this letter. According to some sources, Isaac Robinson came to the new world on the Lyon in 1631 with his mother Bridget White Robinson, and his sisters Mercy and Fear. Isaac Robinson eventually settled at Falmouth, Cape Cod, Mass.
