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.
