Notes |
- Thomas came from Fairfield Conn., was a Quaker and was thoroughly hated by the Puritans.
According to The Yankee Generations, the first mention of Thomas Case occurs in a court proceeding held at Newport, Newport Co., RI, Oct., 1655. At a General Inquest the court "proclaimed that Thomas Casse is a Freede from his bounds about Wm. Haviland upon proclamation concerninge breach of peace." There is on mention of what the breach was but it may have been in connection with his religious activities.
In 1656 Thomas appeared as a witness for a document in which John Case gave power of atty to William Edwards of Hartford to collect a debt owed his wife.
Thomas has a very interesting history on Long Island where the Quakers were accepted, as a Quaker activist.
From Coe Case's web site:
There is controversy as to the father of Henry 1, and as to whether Henry was born in England. Some contend that William of Newport, who
may have been on the ship "Dorset" from England in 1635 was the father. William had brothers John and Thomas, and possibly Richard. Their father, believed by some to be a William Soloman Case, may have died on the ship "Dorset". William was known to have three sons, William, Joseph, and James. Thomas was a Quaker preacher/teacher, had no children, and left his estate to William's son William. There was another William Case in Edgartown and a John Case in Tisbury (both Martha's Vineyard) at the same time. No son Henry has been verified for any of the above. John Case once testifieded in Hartford, CT court in 1655 to support Henry's request for release from servitude to John Knott.
