    From the Honesdale Citizen (June 2, 1904):

    Warren L. Case, a well-known and much respected citizen and a life-long resident of Damascus township, died at the residence of Herbert Branning, in Berlin, on Sunday last, May 29th, 1904, aged 81 years and 6 months. Mr. Case having made a business trip to the Beach Lake creamery, on Friday, was on his way home, when, stopping for a friendly call at Mr. Branning's he was persuaded to spend the night. He retired to his room and toward morning his moans attracted the attention of the family, and he was found to be very ill, suffering from some internal ailment which the domestic appliances at hand failed to relieve. A physician was summoned in the morning, but the patient was found to be beyond help, and passed away shortly before 8 o'clock on Sunday evening. The deceased was born in Tusten, Sullivan County, N.Y., but from early manhood was a resident of Damascus township, this county, where he became prominent as a lumberman and noted as a Delaware river steersman. In 1846 Mr. Case married Miss Lura Dexter, who died a year later. He took as his second wife Miss Elizabeth Sherwood, a native of Connecticut, who died some years since, leaving a large family of children. The survivors are five sons: A.M., of Indian Orchard; Ezra A., Judson C., and Virgil B., of East Berlin; and George A., of Narrowsburg, and two daughters, Mrs. Mary Skinner, of White Mills, and Mrs. Annie L. Cassidy, of Jersey City.

    Tusten, NY was once part of Lumberland, NY.

    Cases in Lumberland in the 1810-1840 census:

    Daniel Case (1820) p.169
    Henry Case (1830) p.020
    Joshua Case (1830) p. 019 Looks promising.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Emily Hallock's correspondence and transcription of the 1910 census for Tusten shows Warren's son George age 40 with both parents born in PA.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Candy Graser of Buffalo, NY wrote me on 2/10/2000 about Warren P. Case of Cowlesville, Wyoming Co., NY. She mentioned letters in her possession from PA to her Aunt Betsy about Judson from Mary Case and also about "the twins". Her tree was as follows:
    Pelatiah Case m. Apphia Loomis b. 1/18/1771, d.1851 in Windsor, CN. They moved to Cowlesville and their children were: Pelatiah Jr., Appia, Chauncey, Aurelia, and Martin (1807-1893).
    Martin m. Lucinda Sprague (1809-1879) and second, Caroline S. Rowley. Children were: Amelia Loomis, Warren P., Lucy Hart, Loretta Pear, and Harlow Case.
    She said Harlow was a farmer, businessman, and drummer (peddler). He and Warren sold shoe polish by traveling west for orders. She has letters from both men and family Bibles.
    Warren was apparently a difficult man to live with and was married 3 times.
    Since Candy was doing this from memory I believe she had her Warren Cases mixed up but there is a likely connection here.

    Soundex for Case is C200.

    Ms. Sharon Freeman, GenealoGrand Isle Co.cal Research Society of Northeastern Pennsylvania, looked up 1870 census information for me and found Warren and Lura married with names of children. POB 1, Olyphant, PA 18447-0001. Phone (717)383-7466. searcher@microserve.net.
    Warren was found on the same 1870 census page as George Dexter, Moses father, and likely related to Laura Dexter.

    The 1870 Census data was not very leGrand Isle Co.ble but indicated a son of Warren - Amsa? Also Elam who was on the 1850 census looks like Ezra on the 1870 census. The 1850 census indicated no wife. Roll 1464, p.108

    Ms. Agnes Wetmore, HCR-1, Box 1026, Tafton, PA 18464 visited Christ Episcopal, Indian Orchard, and Grace Episcopal, Honesdale, Churches, and sent me copies of baptismal, confirmation, and headstone information on Warren and Lura, Amiah, and John William. Email agnes10@ptd.net. At the cemetery she also found a headstone for Madeline E. Case b.1917 d.1961 m. Leonard J. Case b.1915 d.1966. Other Case Family lots were: E.A.Case, Marsh,William,Ferrington, Russell, and Ruth. Dexter lots were: John, Lewis, Rosetta, and Albert.

    1850 Census, Damascus, Wayne Co. lists only Warren Case age 25, oriGrand Isle Co.n NY, and Elam Case, born PA age 2, viewed scanned record at
    Genealogyonline.com.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------
    1860 Census shows Warren in Damascus page 197. Also a Chaney Case and Lucy and Rachel Sherwood on the same page. Albert Sherwood on p. 196. The Broderbund Index to 1860 shows no other children listed in index. George and Moses Dexter shown on p.198.

    Minnie Dexter thought the Cases emigrated from the Isle of Wight off the southern Hampshire, England coast. Newport is its capital. Ferry service ran from Southhampton, Portsmouth, and Lymington so this may have only been a ships departure point.

    Wayne Co., PA was formed from Northampton Co. on 3/21/1798. Pike Co. was formed from Wayne Co. in 1814. Wayne Co. was named for "Mad Anthony" Wayne and its county seat is Honesdale, PA.

    Warren married Elizabeth Sherwood about 1851 in New York, USA. Elizabeth (daughter of Albert S. Sherwood and Polly Burr Wood) was born in 1836 in Weston, Fairfield Co., CT; died on 17 May 1878; was buried in Overlook Cemetery, Damascus, Wayne Co., PA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 9.  Elizabeth Sherwood was born in 1836 in Weston, Fairfield Co., CT (daughter of Albert S. Sherwood and Polly Burr Wood); died on 17 May 1878; was buried in Overlook Cemetery, Damascus, Wayne Co., PA.

    Notes:

    1860 Census shows Warren in Damascus page 197. Also a Chauncy Case and Lucy Sherwood on the same page. Albert Sherwood on p. 196 just prior to Rachel. There is an E. Case listed as living with Rachel, age 25. There is no E. Case listed with Warren who could have been his wife. She may have been staying with her parents at the time. In 1870, no wife is listed for Warren.

    The Tustin census of 1910 showed George Case born in PA with both parents born in PA. This is their son, George.
    ------------------------------------------------
    From "Lenore H. Geller" transcribed from her mother's notes:

    Wood and Sherwood Families

    (Information given to Grace Hayes Jones in 1922 by her grandmother, Jane Sherwood Dexter. She was baptized Priscilla Jane but changed it to Jane P. Dexter.)

    When Thomas Wood, father of Polly Burr Wood was 5 years old, he lived in Fairfield, Co., Conn. and during the Revolutionary War, or about that time, he remembered the soldiers passing through the country, burning the houses as they went. They were perhaps Red Coats.

    It has been told that there was an English estate (whether on the Sherwood or Wood side is uncertain) but lawyers got most if not all of it.

    Both the Wood and Sherwood families lived in Fairfield County, Conn. The older children of Albert Sherwood were born in Conn. but the younger ones, after they moved to Wayne County, for their daughter Jane was born there in 1834

    Jane's sister Elizabeth (Lib) was married when only 13. (Census records later proved she was 14 or 15.) She and Jane went to a party one night. Their mother said to Jane, "Look after Lib." But Lib slipped out with Warren Case, a widower, and crossing the Delaware River into New York, they were married. A license was not required in that state then, though it was in Penn. Warren had been married to Lura Dexter, Virgil Dexter's older sister but she had died. (Elam Case was Lura and Warren's son.)

    After giving birth to 15 children, one right after the other and about a year apart, Aunt Lib died. Then Warren married Aunt Maria, who was an excellent mother to the big family. This is the story that has been told: One evening Warren brought in two big pails full of warm fresh milk, and set them on the kitchen floor to be strained and the milk to be put away. After a little while in he came to find two full pails of milk sitting in the same spot. Thinking his wife was neglectful, he poured the milk right on the floor. Aunt Maria promptly picked up a chair and just about smashed it over his head. After that he respected her as he never had the first two wives. The milk he had so angrily dumped on the floor was sour milk for the pigs. (Nettie Dexter Hayes used to talk about Aunt Maria's rye bread - how good it was. When Mother was a little girl she loved to go back to Wayne Co. PA to visit Aunts, uncles and many cousins.)
