Notes:

From Lori Case (http://loricase.com/case/augustus-case-children.pdf):
"John Bell Case, third child and second son of Augustus Case, was born in Washington County, Pennsylvania on July 24th, 1801 and came with the family to Wayne County, Ohio in 1814 where he grew to manhood assisting the family in improving their new home in the forest,
enjoying meager advantages for the gaining of an education.
On January 12th, 1826 he was united in marriage to Sarah Strickland in Richland County, Ohio near Haysville (now Ashland County).
Mr. Case was a farmer by occupation and lived in Richland County and Seneca County, Ohio. While here, he with others took a contract from the State to build three miles of pike road in Seneca County, receiving their pay in government lands. They spent the fall of the
year for three years in completing the work. About the year of 1836 he settled on a farm in Wayne County where he resided until about 1844 when he moved to Seneca County again, settling on a farm near Republic."

To this union 6 children were born, all of whom grew to maturity, namely:
Rachael Case, b. October. 12, 1826
Elizabeth Case b. August 9, 1828
Lucinda Case b. May 14, 1830, m. William B. Johnson
Benjamin Franklin Case, b. January 30, 1834
Joseph Case b. May 30, 1837
Martha Jane Case b. May 26th, 1843
While living here his daughter, Lucinda Case was married to William B. Johnson.
About the year 1850 Mr. Case, with his wife and other five children, moved to
LaGrange County, Indiana and settled on a farm. On April 11th, 1861 his wife, Sarah
Strickland Case died.
In 1865 Mr. Case was united in marriage to Miss Ruth Wallace. To this marriage one
child was born, namely John Case, born in July of 1867. Mr. Case spent the remainder of his
days in that part of the State and dies on November 5th, 1879 and was buried by the side of his
first wife in LaGrange County. His 2nd wife, Ruth Wallace Case, died in 1891.
Mr. Case physically was a man much after the pattern of his father, August Case, in
height and general build, but slightly smaller. He was an upright man in all the walks of life
and a devoted and earnest member of the M.E. Church all his life, dying at the age of 78 year,
3 months and 11 days. For want of information I am unable to give a more extended account
of his life.

Notes:

http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/wftonline/v11/3251to3300/v11t3275.htm l has Augustus father as Joshua Case 1740-1773, wifes name unknown but 1718-1771. This could be the Joshua I have as his father's son, Joshua.
Especially since I have his grandfather as Theophilus Case, not Augustus Case(1740-1759) in the above source.
Note the birth of Augustus is the same as Joshua in the above tree so there is an obvious error - just not sure which one is incorrect. (JTC)

Augustus married Elizabeth Bell in 1794. Elizabeth (daughter of Onesimus Bell and Anna Cosart) was born on 19 May 1765 in NJ; died on 12 Sep 1817 in Wooster, Wayne County, Ohio. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

In Reply to: Re: Joshua CASE-NJ & Elizabeth Dickerson by Anne Goddard

I wonder if this is a correct "Elizabeth" for our Joshua case. A Elizabeth Dickerson married an Andrew Wager, son of Charles, on Jan 21, 1743 at Southold, LI, NY. They later moved to Morris Cty, NJ. A Genealogy book written about the Dickerson Family (Don't have title, but author is Wesley Baker) He states that Elizabeth daughter of Thomas did not mary a Joshua Case and could not have as she was married to Andrew Wager and he was still alive to witness a will in 1781. I have not found any documentation either as to who Joshua married too. So Dickerson researchers feel Elizabeth married Andrew and he lived till after the Revolution, so who did Joshua marry and where are the records? I find that our "Case" ancestors did not leave us many clues. Another Case researcher e-mailed me info about Joshua that he died 9 July 1777 age 56, and is buried in Succasunna, NJ. May have died of Small Pox as an epidemic was going on at that time. His will dated 1 Jul 1777, proved 16 Aug 1777 (Lib 19, pg. 138) states wife "Elizabeth". My thought is we need to find a record/document to prove who Joshua was married to. Otherwise most of our information is just "Family Lore".

See: Abstract of Graves of Revolutionary Patriots, Vol.1, p. ?Serial: 8399; Volume: 7, DAR for Joshua Case bur. Succasunna NJ 24.

Also in The National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution Volume 39 page 53: "His sons, Samuel, Joseph and Augustus, and son-in-law, Daniel Pedmore, also served in the war. "

Some say Joshua born in RI.

In Reply to: Case, Dickerson by: Boyd Case

On my last visit to NJ I located Joshua's grave. He is buried in the 1st Presbyterian Church Cemetery on Main St. in Succasunna, NJ. His stone is in excellent condition. It is made of red sandstone and reads: In memory of Joshua Case who departed this life July the 9th 1777 aged 55 years.
I didn't see a stone for his wife but there were a good number of Dickersons buried in the same area. If you go looking, His grave is on the right side of the church as you face it from Main St. and Very close to the Building.

Joshua married Elizabeth Youngs in Mar 1743 in Suffolk Co., NY. Elizabeth and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

From Genealogy.Com Bell Family Message Board by Dennis Bell:
Boston Transcript, Dec 13, 1911, Geealogical Column, #2321. "The BELL's are of Scotch origin. The original spelling was BEALL. Joseph BEALL moved from Scotland to England: His son, John immigrated from England to America in 1730 and settled in New Jersey. He had three sons: One went to Candaa; one, Joseph BELL, went to Virginia; annd onne stayed in New Jersey. Onesimus BELL, our progenitor was born on Long Island, 1738, was captain in the French and INdian War and was a Lieut. with the New Jersey Troops in the Revolutionary War. Onesimus BELL lived in Elizabethtown, now Elizabeth, New Jersey." Have another reference that "Anna COZAD, dau. of Jacob and Anna (COX) COSSART, married first ca. 1754, to Mr. KEARNZ, a soldier in the French and Indian War. The last ever heard or seen of him was in the brush on the retreat from the Indians. She married second, 1759, to Onesimus "Simeon" BELL."

Onesimus + Anna Cosart. Anna was born in 1725 in Long Island, New York, USA; died in 1769. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

In Reply to: Re: Case Emigrees From Holland--1730 by Jeannette Case Schlicher

Add me to the list searching for info on the brothers, Theophilus, Christopher, Butler and Reuben Case. I hope my results help you out. I ran across the "rumor" about coming from Holland in the "Diary of Zophar Case," where he writes a "Geneologic(h)al memorandum of the ancestors and descendants -MESHACH CASE - Paternal Line - Holland [the brothers]came to the colonies about 1750 landed on Long Island - passed on to the Jerseys. Butler married a woman of Irish des(c)ent at Morris County, a Miss Carnes." Zophar was a son of Meshach, who was one of Butler's children. It appears that Zophar was unaware that his ancestors had been living on LI since about 1640. But they probably lived in Holland after leaving England with the Puritans in their exodus (my guess). According to Long Island Genealogy the four brothers descend from William who married Martha Corwin. Ref: www.longislandgenealogy.com and www.lihistory.com. Zophar's handwritten journal was obtained from the Ohio His. Soc.

Subject: Case diary

I came across a diary in the Ohio Historical Society's manuscript collection today that may interest those with NE Ohio Case connections. It is "Vol 400" in the manuscript collection and is listed as the Diary of Zophar Case. The diary is a small triple fold (leather?), about 4 by 6 inches. It appears to have been written about 1829. I had only limited time and the book cannot be xeroxed but the frontpiece says, "Genealogical memorial of the ancestors and descendent of Meshach Case", followed by a few journal entries of his trip west. The best part of it though is the last 6 or 8 pages where he details the family genealogy. I did not have time to copy out very much but here is the bit on the oldest generations (punctuation and spelling are as written, the pages are torn in a couple spots and in others stuck together so if I couldn't read it I have question marks). Although I didn't have time to write it
all out (and will not be back to OHS anytime soon) I did read over the genealogy and Zophar was brother to Leonard Case of Case Western University fame. And unfortunately that means the diary has no connection to "my" Case family -- maybe some of you will have better luck.

"Paternal Line Holland
Theophilus Christopher Butler and Reuben Case brothers came to the Colonies about 1750 landed on Long Island - passed on to the Jerseys. Butler married a woman of Irish disent at Morris County, a Miss Carney.
There they had issue Meschach Elizabeth who married David Sutton and had a large family who removed from the Jerseys to Westmoreland County Pennsylvania. Thence to Shenango. Butler who married Miss Sarah Pugh,
they had numerous issue, viz Reuben, Butler, Sarah, Thom?? and various others died in 1833 or 1834 in Medina Co Ohio.
Rachel married John Sheplor & had many children & died in Westmoreland Co PA one of them Matthias went to Congress = Dyrn married Caleb Brown and had a faily removed & died in Wayne Co Ohio had several children
Reuben married Hannah Bergin had many children removed to near Zanesville Ohio
Sarah married a Mr Phon?? had a family all three marriages took place in Westmoreland County Pennsylvania where the family came about 1778 or 1779 and there Meshach married Mgdalene Eckstein."

Theophilus married Hannah Mapes in 1708 in Southold, Long Island, Suffolk Co., New York, USA. Hannah and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
