Descendants of William Case of South Carolina

Generation #2

Isaac (¹William) Case of South Carolina

Isaac Case was born in about 1710 in the Carolina Colony. Tracing Isaac and his family is frustrated by the continuous shifting of civil administrative borders. Records of Isaac and his descendants are found in multiple jurisdictions within a relatively short time span. At first glance, one would think that they moved frequently. However, the family did not move at all; the boundaries did.

At the time of Isaac's birth, there was no North or South Carolina. And, the land he would eventually patent/purchase was administered by the North Carolina Colony up until the creation of York and Spartanburg Counties in South Carolina. From 1715 to 1785 the lands along the Broad and Pacolet River in the Backcountry were administered by Craven Prec. NC, New Hanover Co NC, Bladen Co NC, Anson Co NC, Mecklenburg Co NC, Tryon Co NC, Ninety-Six Dist./Camden Dist. SC, and Spartanburg/York/Union Co SC.

In about 1742, Isaac married an unknown spouse. Unfortunately, nothing is known of their lives together. From the 1754 survey, we learn that Isaac settled north of the Broad River on lands which would become York Co SC. Son Thomas settled just across the river on lands which would become Union Co SC. Isaac is believed to have died before 9/1792 in what was then York (now Cherokee) Co SC.
