I'm interested in finding out about any descendants of Joshua Case(1780-1853) and Betsey Vail(1783-1850 d/o Alsop) who moved to Elkhart County around 1836 from Ontario County, NY. Heirs mentioned in Joshua's probate records are:
Emma Case(deceased) married to Samuel H Weyburn
(their son Oscar named as heir)
Elvira Case married to John Wesley Benham
(they had Charles, George, Jonathon & Henrietta)
Lewis Ferdinand Case, Sr. married to Mahitable T Benham
(they had Joel??, Benjamin, Esther, Mary, Lewis & Julia)
John C Case married to Mary Copeland
(they had Elizabeth and Eugene)
Benjamin V Case married to Abigail Whitney Amsden
(they had Isaac and Edna)
Isaac Case married to Z Cordelia E Woodworth (Weyburn)
(they had Elwyn, Annette & Frances)
Fanny (Frances) Jane Case(deceased) married to Thomas DeKay Kimball
(their son Francis named as heir)
Joshua Case(apparently single in 1853)
May A Case(apparently single in 1853)
Also Joshua and Betsey had a daughter Betsey who died unmarried in NY in 1836. They may also have had a son named Joel who was not mentioned in the probate.
It is possible that Joshua had a brother named Isaac Case married to Maria Benham (Amsden) who may be the father of a few of these children. This Isaac and Maria are buried in Middlebury with along with Benjamin, Abigail, Lewis, Mahitable, Joshua and Betsey Case.
I have a fair amount of info on the descendants of Benjamin and his son Isaac. I would appreciate any info in the others.

From the file of M.C.Andrews at WWW.Ancestry.Com:
Joshua came from Orange Co, NY. Joshua was one of the first settlers of Hopewell(Gorham), Ontario County, NY. He purchased land in Elkhart Co, Indiana in 1836. In his probate records in Elkhart Co, Indiana, he names Benjamin Case as his Administrator as well as one of many heirs. The Ketcham family history by Electa Ketcham Penney lists Joshua as a son of John Case and Elizabeth Ketcham. The Ketcham book does not list Emma, William or Betsey as children of Joshua. I include them because they were heirs. I have been unable to get a copy of the will, but have listed children based on who was given money from the estate. Betsey's maiden name "Vail" is supported by the Kimball family history which includes Fanny Jane Case Kimball. See "History of the Kimball Family, Vol. 2", by Leonard Allison Morrison, Damrell & Upham, Boston, 1897.
1810 deeded property from Blake, Joseph, Ontario Co, NY
1811 deeded property to Robert Davidson, Ontario Co, NY
1816, Apr 29 commissioned Captain 11th inf. reg. Ontario Co.
1824 deeded property from Purdy, Margaret, Ontario Co, NY
1833 deeded property from Newton, Proctor, Ontario Co, NY
1836 purchased land in Elkhart Co, IN
1836 Betsey Case, daughter of J and B Case died in Ontario Co, NY
1853 Joshua's probate, Benjamin Case, Admr.
Joshua's brother Isaac, also died in Middlebury, and I am uncertain if any children belong to Isaac. I was unable to get a copy of Isaac's probate record, which also listed Benjamin Case as executor. Isaac was married to Benjamin V Case's mother in law, and this may be a reason he was his executor, especially if Isaac had no children.
According to Ella Morgan Case, Joshua was distantly related to Leonard Case, Jr. b.7/29/1786, who founded the Case Western Reserve school in Cleveland, OH, the son of Leonard Case, Sr. and M Elizabeth Gaylord of Cleveland. Leonard Case believed his Case ancestors were of Dutch descent, however I have not found proof that the Long Island Case's were Dutch. Leonard descended from Theopolis Case, Jr. His ancestors apparently came from England in the 1600's.
