234 p. 260: John Case was of Windsor, afterward of Simsbury.
364John resided in Windsor until 1669 when he removed to Simsbury and settled in the area known as "Weatogue." He was appointed constable for Massaco by the General Court on 14 Oct 1669. He represented his town at the General COurt in 1670 and several times afterwards. John's will dated 21 Nov 1700 named his wife, Elizabeth, six sons and four daughters. Samuel Spencer of Hartford and John Case, his son, were executors.
Notes from Debi Elliott: "As for the source of John's parents, I only have one. When in Hartford, I found a family history called "William Case of England and Some of His Descendants in the New World, 1635 - 1984", Compiled by Clayton C. Case, Mankato, Minnesota, 1984. In it is the following:"
1. William CASE (1590-1635), England, children William Soloman, William, Thomas, Richard, John
2. John CASE (1619-1703), England, Mass, CT (William1), children Elizabeth, Mary, John, William, Samuel, Richard, Joseph, Bartholomew, Sarah, Abigail
Note: The following is referenced at the end, but in looking at the ships list of the Dorset, there is no such listing stating this level of detail, The only John is John Casse. "William Case was born about 1590 in the town of Aylesham, England. There is no documented information about his life in England or his profession. Also, there is no available information about his wife, where he lived or what motivated is decision to emigrate with his five sons to the New World. However, but for that decision, the Case family line in the United States as documented herein would never have existed. There is a sailing list for the ship "Dorset" showing that William Case and his five sons sailed from the port of Gravesend, England, for the New World on September 3, 1635. The sailing list shows the sons as: William Solomon Case, age 24, Thomas Terril Case, age 18, John Trustin Case, age 16, and William Case, age 19. There also appears to have been a son, Richard, age not shown. William Case is reported to have died at sea on the voyage but the cause of death is not documented. At that time he was about 45 years of age. William Case's sons landed at Ipswich, Massachusetts, which is north of Gloucester. At least 15 ships were reported to have sailed that route from England in 1635." Source: (incomplete) Ralph Case Brunton and Mary S.
There are researchers who have stated that Richard and Elizabeth (Loomis) Case are John's parents. Richard died in 1693.
Have seen his name as John Trustin Case. |
