Gen 1
The father's name was William Case he died en route to America on the ship
"Dorset" his sons landed at Ipswitch MA.
Children
1-John Case b. 28 Jul 1616 [Gravesend England] Aylesham, England m. Sarah
Spencer abt 1657 at Simsbury, Hartford, CT. 1st spouse was Elizabeth
Moore.
2-Thomas Case died w/o children
3-William Case died on Martha's Vineyard in 1634.
4-Richard Case who came over at a later time. Richard settled in Hartford
CT where married and later died in 1694. He left a son and 2 daughters.
Gen 2
John Case (b. 1616) was the only one of these to pass on the name. He married
Sarah Spencer in 1657 in Hartford CT and they had 10 children: John,
Elizabeth, Mary, William, Samuel, Joseph, Richard, Sarah, Abigale and
Bartholomew.
***John and Sarah (Spencer) Case were married in Windsor CT in 1657 and
moved to a 'suburb' which later became Simsbury. The letter states that
Simsbury by 1800 had so many Case's living there that it could be called
'Case-town'. About this time many moved to the West (I know the most about
the ones going to Ohio.)
Gen 3
William Case born 1665 in Windsor, Hartford, CT, died 31 Mar 1700. His
father was John Case born 25 Jul 1616 Aylesham, England, his mother was
Sarah Spencer 20 Apr 1636, Hartford, Co. CT. William married Elizabeth
Holcomb in 1688, in Hartford CT. I don't know if this is your William Case
but it's a good bet. John Case came to America with 3 brothers, I believe
one was a William Case also. There father died enroute to America. I have
further genealogy of Sarah Spencer, also brothers & sisters of
William. John Case was the first Case to settle in the New England area.
On my line the Case family moved from CT to NY then to Ill. But I know
some moved to SC.
