From WWW.Genforum.com, Case posting # 199 by D. Johansen :

John Case, 1616 - 1703
John Case was born in Aylesham, England circa 1616 and died 21 Feb 1703 (or 1704 or 1705) in Simsbury, CT. The Case family is one of the ancient and honorable families of New England. They were noted as far back as Oliver Cromwell (1599-1659) and accumulated a fortune furnishing leather for the Army, being tanners and farniers. The records show they came from York, England to Aylesham, England in the year 1200. They held all the land around Aylesham so the town was said to be Cased in and were a clan by themselves. Many of them still reside there. Their land surrounded possessions of Anna Boleyn, who became the second wife of Henry VIII of England, and was beheaded "for treason" in 1536. The Cases were closely related by intermarriage to the Boleyns. John arrived in New England on the ship "Dorsett" on September 3, 1635 from Gravesend, England, at the age of 19 years. The ship landed around Long Island. He then moved to Dorchester, MA [1]. In 1637 John married Sarah Spencer (1636-1691), daughter of William and Agnes (Tucker) Spencer of Hartford, CT. They next moved to Hartford, then moved to Maspeth Kills, NY (now Newton according to our Genealogy). John and Sarah resided in Windsor CT from 1656 until 1669, when they removed to Simsbury and settled in the area known as "Weatogue" [3].

In 1667 John, with twenty others, received the first grant of land in Simsbury which was at Meadow Plain, Massaco (Simsbury). He lived about one mile south of the Pettibone Tavern, the second house south. He was a shoemaker and harness maker as well as a farmer. He was appointed constable for Massaco by the General Court Oct. 14, 1669, and represented his town at the General Court in 1670 and several times afterwards. He with six sons would go from Weatogue to what now (1900) is West Simsbury and cultivate the land there. Hence it was first called Case's Farms, afterwards Farms Village, then West Simsbury. They carried their guns with them as a protection from the Indians as well as to shoot game which was very plentiful there.

The first of 5 children to John and Sarah were born in Windsor, the last 5 were born in Simsbury:

Elizabeth born 1658 in Windsor; died 9 Oct 1718; married (1) Joseph Lewis; married (2) John Tuller
Mary born 22 Jun 1660 in Windsor; died 22 Aug 1725; married (1) 1677/9 William Alderman who died 1697; married (2) 30 Mar 1698/9 James Hilliard who died 28 July 1720, age 76
John Jr. born 5 Nov 1662 in Windsor; died 22 May 1733; married (1) 12 Sep 1684 Mary Alcott; married (2) 1693 Sarah Holcomb
William James born 5 Jun 1665 in Windsor; died 31 Mar 1700 in Simsbury; married Elizabeth Holcomb
Samuel born 1667 in Windsor; died Jul 30 1725; married (1) Mary Westover; married (2) Elizabeth Thrall
Richard born 27 Apr/Aug 1669 in Simsbury; died 27 Apr 1746; married Amy Reed
Bartholomew 1 Oct 1670 in Simsbury; died 25 Oct 1725 in Simsbury; married 7 Dec 1699 in Simsbury Mary Humphrey, daughter of Samuel and Mary (Mills)
Humphrey, born 16 Nov 1681 in Simsbury
Joseph born 6 Apr 1674 in Simsbury; died 11 Aug 1748; married Anna Eno
Sarah born 20 Apr 1676 in Simsbury; died 2 May 1704; married 9 Nov 1699, as his second wife, Joseph Phelps Jr., son of Joseph and Hanna (Newton) Phelps, born 27 Aug 1667; died 20 Jan 1750
Abigail born 4 May 1682 in Simsbury; married 1 Sept. 1701 Simsbury Jonah Westover Jr.
Sarah died on 3 Nov 1691 in Simsbury, at the age of 55 [2]. Her headstone in Simsbury Cemetery is said to be
the oldest in Simsbury.
John married (2) Elizabeth (Moore) Loomis (our genealogy says Louise (Moore) Loomis) (1638-1728), daughter of John Moore and the
widow of Nathaniel Loomis of Windsor, CT.
Elizabeth died in Windsor 23 July 1728 at the age of 90. She and John had no issue.

John died in 1703 in Meadow Plains or the southern part of Simsbury. His place of burial is unknown but it is supposed to be by the side of his wife Sarah in Simsbury Cemetery, although no stone was erected. He had an estate of 562 pounds, making him a man of wealth at that time. John's will, dated 21 Nov 1700 named his wife Elizabeth, six sons, and four daughters. Samuel Spencer of Hartford (Sarah's brother), and John Case Jr. (John's son) were executors of the estate.

There appear to be several errors in the below John Case data. The referenced passenger list shows a William CASE and a John
CASSON as passengers on the Dorset. Could this be John CASE? Possibly but why the difference in spelling between brothers? Also,
William SPENCER m. Agnes HARRIS, not Agnes TUCKER.

Fourth - Agnes Harris's parents were Bartholomew HARRIS & Elizabeth COLLAMORE. I show this line back several generations. Source for 'some' of this from "Mary & John Passengers - The Royal Line of Agnes Harris". Also "Ancestral Roots of 60 Colonists". If you want
the author of these books, I'll have to look them up.

Hi, Linda, my name is Phyllis, a descendant of John Case of Simsbury. (John, John, Richard, Richard, Richard, Freeman, Hector, Carlton Henry, Mertie Caroline).
In my search I have found a reference to a Henry whom the author believes is a brother to John. The book is "The American Genealogist" by George McCracken Whole No. 134; Volume 34, No. 2 April 1958 'The Case Family of CT and Long Island'.
McCracken believes there was a relationship between Henry of Hartford and Southold, Long Island to John of Maspath Kills, Windsor and Simsbury, CT as well as Richard, of Hartford, Thomas and William, both of Newtown, Long Island.
Another book that may be of help is "Genealogy Notes: First Settlers of CT and MA pgs. 275.300.
I do not have a link to a Henry born in the 1800's but have some notes about a Henry A. Case who lived in Tarrifville, CT in the 1800's. He had a brother, Edward B. My last entry for Henry was born in the 1700's. This may all be confusing, but it may help someone.

Here is a URL that has the Dorset ship's list, and William CASSE is
listed, but not John. However, John CASSON is listed, so I am wondering
if the transcriber just misread the writing. He got the info from

In Reply to: Re: WILLIAM CASE@AYLESHAM ENGLAND by Celia Case

Believe you are misinformed regarding names of immigrant Cases. The English did not have middle names in the 1500's and early 1600's, and if you do some research into the early sources such as Banks, Farmer, Savage you will see this bears out. Have seen John Case who came to Simsbury listed as John Trustin Case, but this is without a credible source. The credible source recs. list him only as John Case & the immigrant to RI as Wm. Case as well as Henry Case who settled Long Is. Hope this will clear up some of the misconceptions.

John married Sarah Spencer on 17 Aug 1656 in Windsor, Harford, CT. Sarah (daughter of William Spencer and Agnes Harris) was born on 20 Apr 1636 in Hartford, Hartford Co., CT; died on 3 Nov 1691 in Simsbury, Hartford Co., CT At Age 55. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

From a posting from Jack Butler at Genforum.com 11/28/1999 titled "William of Normandy Connection for Sarah":

"There are two points here. There is a line claimed for the Spencers who take them back to Robert D'Abbetot who accompanied William the Conqueror when he invaded England and who took the name De Spencer when William named him Chamberlain. This line has pretty thoroughly discredited and the Spencers are not proven beyond 1375-1400."

"Sarah Spencer's mother, Agnes Harris, however, does connect to Royalty - a lot of Royalty. But if I remember correctly, so does John Case, through his mother, Ruth James. Ruth James is the daughter of Rev. Thomas James and this line also connects to a long line of European Royalty. Both lines can be found in a book called "Ancestral Roots of Certain Colonists who came to America before 1700." 1988, by F.L.Weis. The James connection can also be found in the earlier edition of the book called "Ancestral Roots of 60 Colonists who came to New England between 1623-1650."

Joshua married Ruth Sherwood on 4 Jun 1663. Ruth (daughter of Thomas S. Sherwood and Mary Fitch) was born in 1648 in Connecticut; died on 10 Sep 1699 in Simsbury, Hartford Co., CT. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
