[edit] Looking for info

Does anyone have more information about Samuel Chase? Such as did he marry and have offspring? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bradeos Graphon (talk • contribs) 17:48, 20 October 2005

First wife was Anne Baldwin. They married when Chase was 20, the same year he started his practice in Annapolis. They had seven children. Anne died during the Revolutionary War. Chase married again in 1784 to Hannah Kitty Giles (1758-1848), daughter of Samuel Giles and Mary Hart, and they had two children.

A daughter of the second marriage, Mary Elizabeth Chase (1785-1872) married William Bedford Barney, son of Commodore Joshua Barney (1759-1818), the U.S. Navy hero.

Samuel Chase is buried with his father and second wife Hannah at Old Saint Paul's Cemetery, Baltimore, Md.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.86.10.178 (talk • contribs) 03:34, 7 February 2006

[edit] Impeachment

This section is woefully lacking detail. What was the acquittal vote? What were the allegations of "political bias"? It takes a complex and noteworthy issue (the impeachment process against a SCOTUS justice), and simplistically represents it as an ardent Federalist vs. a Jeffersonian-leaning Senate. Also "to have been impeached" seems inaccurate, at least ambiguous, since the impeachment vote failed to remove him from office. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.172.132.176 (talk • contribs) 04:21, 27 July 2007
