    Notes:

    From "Descendants of John Casse":

    He married Phebe Peters in Hebron, Tolland, CT, 16 Aug 1744.(242) Phebe was born in Hebron, Tolland, CT 30 Jun 1728.(243) Phebe(244) was the daughter of John Peters and Mary Marks. Phebe died 11 Feb 1773 in Kent, Litchfield, CT, at 44 years of age.(245) Phoebe is possibly buried in Good Hill Cemetery, Kent, CT, according to Fran Johnson of Kent, CT. There is empty space next to her husband Moses' grave. There is no stone for her there, and it was not standing in 1934 when all the stones were read by the WPA project. The stone may have broken or fallen and become buried.

    Moses's will was probated in New Milford, Litchfield, CT, Dec 1797.(246) Moses died intestate; that is, without a will. His only surviving son Aaron Cass was appointed Administrator of the estate, seemingly to the objection of his brothers in law Nathaniel Hatch, Dr. Isaac Swift, Heman Carter, Pelig Holmes and Gershom Holmes. They cited Aaron's "want of property, and being destitute of integrity, economy(?) and punctuality." However, Aaron came up with the required bond and was ordered to bring an inventory of the estate, which was appraised at $85.76 personal items and $1,367 real estate, as follows: 1 red cow $16.67 1 spotted cow 14.17 1 black cow 12.00 1 horse 15.00 1 gun without a lock 1.83 1 old feather bed 7.00 1 old hand saw iron plate 0.34 1 pr. silver show buckles 1.34 1 pr. silver knee buckles 1.00 1 set bullet moulds 0.26 1 hone 0.34 1 iron crowbar 18th 17th 0.75 1 set or pr. of uprights to andirons 0.67 1 pr. velvet breeches 2.00 1 felt hat 0.34 1 pr. large steelyards 2.50 1 pr. small steelyards 0.34 1 old shirt 0.14 1 sattenitt vest 0.62 1 black velvet vest 0.45 1 blue lite coat 3.34 1 blue great coat 2.17 1 mixed cotton vest 0.34 1 old strate bodyed coat 0.26 1 pair tobacco tongs 0.26 1 carterage box 0.34 1 gouge 0.17 1 pr. worsted stockings 0.17 1 pr. blue & white stockings 0.34 1 pr. blue & white old stockings 0.17 1 black silk handkerchief 0.10 1 pr. mittings 0.17 1 power horn 0.17 ----- $85.76

    Appraisers were Silas Stuart, Abel Merwin, George Patch(?), Jesse Hallock. The commissioners of claims against the estate were Mathew Judd and Oliver Ruggles. No claims were found against the estate as of 11 Jul 1798 when the report was filed.

    He made a will in Hebron, Tolland, CT, 4 Sep 1741.(102) "I, Moses Case of Hebron, in the County of Hartford, do make and ordain this to be my last will and testament: I give to my wife Mary, after my debts are discharged, 1-3 part of my house moveable estate to be to her own dispose forever, whom, with my son Moses Case, I ordain to be my executors.

I give to my two sons, namely, Moses and Josiah, all my houseing and lands in Hebron to be equally divided betwixt them, only my son Moses shall have 10 acres of land more than Josiah. In the division regards shall be had both to quantity and quality, sd. division to be made by indifferent men. Sd. division to be made when my son Moses shall some of full age of 21 years. I give to my 4 daughters, namely, to Patience, Lois, Alice and Hannah, to each of them ?100, to be paid to them when or as they arrive to the age of 18 years. And whereas, my daughter Patience has had already near ?100, the remaining 2-3 of my house moveables I give to my three younger daughters, Lois, Alice and Hannah, equally to be divided.

    Moses Case, LS.

    Witness: Ebenezer Case, Jonathan Case, Nathaniel Phelps." Was admitted freeman at Norwich, CT 13 Sep 1726, but returned to Hebron, CT before 1736.

    Will was dated 4 Sep 1741 and taken 21 Sep 1741.

    From William Stowell's article in the 1902 New England Historical and Genealogical Register: "Moses Cass left records of himself, which, by correspondence with town clerks and descendants of the family, I have been able to trace. We have his own testimony as to his parentage. Sept. 3, 1730, at Norwich, he gave a deed to John Hutchins, of land 'which I bought of my father, Mr. Ebenezer Cass' (Land Records, Vol. VI., p. 232). In 1722, he bought a hundred acres of land in the 'Pratt Tract,' partly in Lebanon and partly in Hebron. He was admitted freeman at Norwich, Sept. 13, 1726; but returned to Hebron before 1736. There is proof that he married a second wife, Mary. His will (Colchester Probate Records, Book 1, page 77) mentions his wife Mary; sons Moses and Josiah; daughters Patience, Lois, Alice and Hannah; and 'Eliphalet Case, son to my second wife, to have ?5.' The will was dated Sept. 4, 1741, and his death occurred two days later. The will was presented for probate Sept. 14, 1741 by Mary Hutchins, 'late widow of Moses Case, of Hebron, deceased.' His last child was posthumous, and, from the fact of his special mention of the son's parentage, it is to be presumed that at the date of the will, Eliphalet was the only child of the second wife. Though long sought, the lineage of his first wife, Mary Haskins, has not been found with certainty. Circumstances would seem to indicate that she was daughter either of Richard Haskins or of John Haskins, of Norwich, who were brothers, and who went to Norwich from Taunton, Mass., whither they had gone from Portsmouth, N.H. with their father, Nicholas, who, Savage says, was a schoolmaster at Portsmouth in 1660. She may, however, have been daughter of Samuel and Mary (Austin) Haskins of Taunton, who were married in 1684."
