26451 This was written by Mildred Elkins: " To answer Debbie's (probablyDebra Lynn Elkins-her granddaughter) question - Where is Grandpa?(THE SPECIAL MAN)
Heaven was in an uproar! The re-enactment of the birth of the Son ofGod was almost an hour late in starting. But what was wrong? Therewas Mary, Joseph, and the Babe along with the Sheperds and Two WiseMen --- Two Wise Men? So, that was the trouble! Everyone knows therewere Three Wise Men.
God had very carefully chosen two of his flock the week before toportray two of the Wise Men on this great occassion. The third mustbe as they - very wise and having beautiful thoughts.
He peered through the window of Heaven and His eyes came to rest atlast upon this special man he was seeking. He looked up his name inthe Great Directory and saw that this man had lived a full rewardingand good life. Yes, he was the one God needed!
Leaving all his earthly possessions behind the man walked straight andproud through the Gates of Heaven to portray a role that was much likethe one he had in his life on earth. At one o"clock he took his placeat the feet of the Prince of Peace!
And there was perfect peace for Grandpa!" at 4:30 A.M. [transcribedfrom Mildred's original note, 14 April 2005, sljuhl]

26455 Thomas and Mary emigrated to South Australia on 27 September 1839. They arrived in South Australia aboard the Lady Lilford.

According to Bob Boots Biography "A Solitary Man," Thomas and Mary left England to pursue the good life in South Australia.

Advertisements of the period emphasized that in South Australia there were no convicts sent, and high expectations of land, work, that the economy was thriving and there were job opportunities for all newcomers.

There was also the opportunity to escape the class barriers in England. They brought with them their children.

26462 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.

26484 Thomas Lindasy and his step-brother James were both about eighteen years old and were apparently quite good friends. They had been out together one June day in and around the Den of Pitroddie but that evening only one of them returned to Everlick. James came back to the castle dishevelled and blood-stained to say that Thomas was lying murdered in the Pitroddie burn but that he, James was innocent of the crime. He would say no more and was locked in his room.

Meanwhile, Sir Alexander and some of his servants made their way to Pitroddie Den and found Thomas lying in the water. He had been stabbed in several places, his face had been trampled upon and was barely recognisable and finally his head had been crushed by a large stone which lay beside the body. From the blood and the footprints near to the body it was evident that Thomas had fought bravely for his life. The body was brought back to the castle and James was once again visited by his mother and step-father. He maintained his story that he was innocent, the bloodstains on his clothes, he said, had been cause when he tried to lift the body from the burn.

For two days James protested his innocence but on the third morning he made a full confession which was written down. "I was never yet firmly convinced that there was a God or a Devil, a heaven or a hell, till now. To tell how I did the deed my heart doth quake and head rives, As I was playing and kittling at the head of the brae, I stabbed him with the only knife which I had, and I tumbled down the brae with him to the burn and there he uttered one or two pitiful words. The Lord Omnipotent and all- seeing God learn my heart to repent." The next day James was taken to Perth and charged, "that he did conceive a deadly hatred and evil will against Thomas Lindsay, son of Sir Alexander Lindsay of Everlick, with a settled resolution to bereave him of life??did fall upon the said Thomas and with his knife did give him five several stabs and wounds in his body, and thereafter dragged him down the brae of the Den to the burn, and there with his feet did trample upon the said Thomas lying in the water, and as yet not being satisfied with all that cruelty, he did with a stone dash him upon the head so that immediately the said Thomas died." The charge was then read back to James and he promptly repudiated the whole story.

The affair remained in this unsatisfactory state for almost two more weeks. James insisted his confession had been false, and had been given when his mind was disordered with grief and terror. He returned to his original story that he had found his step-brother lying murdered in the burn. His mother, his family, the Laird of Balhaivie cousin to Thomas, and others all tried to persuade him to confess. But it was to no avail. Then one day while in the presence of his mother he suddenly rose from his seat and with tears and sobs he proclaimed the error of his ways and declared that by the grace of God he would re-affirm every particular of his confession.

This time it was for real. James was taken to Edinburgh and there he pled guilty to the murder and was sentenced to be beheaded. With his new-found determination to be at one with God he confessed to a new crime. While in Edinburgh earlier in the year he had tried to set fire to "Harry Graham's writing chamber." This caused something of a sensation, for wilful fire raising was considered in many ways to be worse than murder. It was considered to be treason and as such resulted in the forfeiture of the party's estate. Were James to be convicted of the crime, his estate of ?2,000 would go to the crown rather than to his two sisters.

The unhappy boy was persuaded, this time, to retract his confession and the Crown reluctantly accepted his revised plea of not guilty. However, the truth of the original statement is given credence by an agreement made later by his mother to pay Patrick Cunnimgham, apothecary, 200 merks "for the skaith the said Patrick suffered when her son, James Douglas, put fire in Harry Graham's chamber."

James Douglas himself was executed by the Scottish Maiden, a form of guillotine, at Edinburgh Cross on August 4th 1682.
