JOHN CASE.
The progenitor of the Case family, whose ancestry is here out- lined, was John Case, latterly of Simsbury, Connecticut. Of John Case's history little is known. It seenis to be conceded that he was a native of England, some authorities claiming that he was born there in 1615. As John Case died about 1704, this is not impossible. We have it from the record that he was twice married, the first time in 1657. As he would then have been 42 years old, and subsequently was the father of ten children, the fruit of the union of 1657, ^t would seem as if his birth year had been placed at too early a date.
John Case first appears in America at New London, Conn., in 1656. lie did not long remain there, for in 1657 he is found in Windsor, Conn., where in that year, he married Sarah Spencer, of Hartford, Conn.
Sarah Spencer, born 1636, was the daughter of William and
Agnes ( ) Spencer, who were among the company that
settled Hartford, Conn. William Spencer first settled in Cambridge,
Mass. He was a member of the General Court, and was one of the
.,^,^^_^ founders of the "Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company."
^(^ William Spencer movetl to Hartford in 1639, and was there a Deputy.
'r^ He died in 1640.
^ In the spring oi ir>6(), John Case left Windsor for Massacoe, now
Simsbury, Conn., antl settled in a section thereof styled Weatogue.
,J Mr. Case was one of the original patentees of the Massacoe pur-
^ chase. Another account states that John Case, after leaving Wind-
SJ sor, located in Meadow Plain, adjacent to Weatogue. However
.j that may be, he was, in 1676, forced to leave his new-found home
\' and return to Windsor for safety against the Indians, during the
progress of King Philip's war. His property was destroyed during
that conflict. In 1677 John Case returned to Massacoe or Simsbury,
^ where he continued to reside until his death.
.•^ '^'~' John Case's first wife, Sarah Spencer, died 3 November 1691,
"^ aged 55 years. He married second, Fdizabeth, widow of Nathaniel
Loomis, of Windsor, and daughter (as is supposed) of John Moore, of Windsor. She died 23 July 1728, aged 90 years.
John Case was appointed constable for Massacoe by the General Court, 14 October 1669, being- the first person to hold that office at that place. He represented his town at the General Court in 1670, and several times thereafter. He died at Simsbury, 21 Feb- ruary 1703-4.
There were other lines of the Case family in Connecticut. The Revolutionary rolls show the names of no less than seventy-two Connecticut men named Case who took part in that strug-gle.
