Carlton Chase (February 20, 1794 – January 18, 1870) was the first Bishop of the Diocese of New Hampshire in the Episcopal Church in the United States of America.

[2] Not long after arriving in Bellows Falls, Chase married an inhabitant of that town, Harriet Cutler.

[3] He remained at Immanuel until his consecration as bishop in 1844, receiving a doctor of divinity during his time there from the University of Vermont.

After his elevation to the episcopate, he moved to Claremont, New Hampshire, where he also served as rector of Trinity Church.

[4] Chase made pastoral visitations to the Episcopal Diocese of New York in 1850, 1851, and 1852 in the midst of difficulties related to the trial and suspension of Bishop Benjamin Treadwell Onderdonk.
