A History of Masonry in Madison County, Kentucky 1812-1913, compiled and written by Robert R. Burnam, 1914, p. 113 WILLIAM CHASE was the second Master of Moss Lodge. He was born in Vermont; came to Kentucky during the decade from 1840 to 1850. He was a school teacher and a gentleman of culture. He became a physician subsequently and practiced his profession with success. Like nearly all Northern men who were living in the South at the outbreak of the Civil War, he was intensely Southern in his sympathies and was frequently called the "Vermont Rebel." After the close of the war he was killed in a personal encounter with Captain Baker near Paint Lick. Dr. Chase left no descendants.
