• Notes

  From "Descendants of Philip Case and Lydia Soveril", http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~mdtmgug/case0001.htm#t2: The Temple genealogy includes an eleventh child, Leonard, born 1786. Case does not include this child in his listing, but does mention the possibility.5,18 However, no contemporary documents found to date support the existence of this child. In fact, a memorial record written by Philip's granddaughter, Miriam (Case) Vorhis, states explicitly that her father, Aaron, was one of ten children, five sons and five daughters.19 Philip did have a grandson Leonard, born 1793, son of Abraham Case. A note in the Case manuscript suggests why some Philip Case descendants favored this hypothetical son. "Leonard Case, claimed to be the Leonard Case of Cleveland, whose son left a large estate." This information came from the July 1903 letter of Leonard F. Case (Reuben, Philip) to E. E. Case. The Leonard Case of Cleveland, however, was born in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, the son of Meshach Case.
