BIOGRAPHY: Reference: 974.6 Cutter, C991, V.2 pp 795-796, V.3 pp 1674-1682 "Commemorative Biographical record of Hartford Co. Connecticut" p 524 John Case, the founder of the Case family in america was born in Aylesham, England in 1616, the year that William Shakespeare died. He sailed from Gravesend, England, sep 2 1635 on the ship Dorset and landed at Newport, R.I., but settled in Windsor, CT. He spent some years in Newton on Long Island, but in 1656 he returned to CT and in 1667 settled in Simsbury, formerly know as Massaco. In 1657 he married Sarah. John Case was recoginzed for his moral influence as well as his business integrity.
BIOGRAPHY: John was a farmer and a landowner, came to America in 1635, settling at Hartford, CT. He moved to Newtown, Long Island, but returned to CT and settled in the town of Windsor in 1656. He was one of the founders of Simsbury, in 1669. John had a brother Richard at Hartford, residing there in 1660. The family of John joined the church at Farmington 4 Jul 1693 (Church Records at Farmington), and was made Constable of "Massacco' in 1669, the first in the town. In 1670 he was appointed to the general court of Simsbury.

The First Settlers of Simsbury-Taken from the Simsbury Historical Society IN MEMORIES SECTION [this is where the 1616 birth date for John was located] but cannot find any other
credible sources for his birth. The Birth location given in the "First Settlers of Simsbury" was Aylesham. There is no evidence of John's parentage out there. If you want to add parents, please provide a credible source.
***********************
There does not appear to be any documentary evidence that John Case's middle name was Thurston. If someone has something, please post it. Also, the Aylesham parish register does not begin as early as 1616. When ADDING PARENTS, Please indicate sources.

John Case came to America at age 19 years. He supposedly came on the ship "Dorset". The 'Dorset' sailed from Gravesend, Kent September 30, 1635, bound for Bermuda. There was a Wm. Casse aboard, age 19.

He married first to Sarah Spencer, she was the mother of ALL of his children. He married second to Elizabeth (Moore) Loomis and had NO children with her!!

In February 1640 John Case conveyed 6 parcels of land to Wm. Gibbons.
This land was in the vicinity of Hartford, Connecticut, which shows him to be a resident there and of an age to convey land.
He lived in New Nederlands near Brooklyn 13 August 1666 with his wife Sarah who was born in 1636. He was in New London in 1656 and next year moved to Windsor. He was constable of Simsbury 1669, Deputy 1670-1691.
His wife Sarah died 3 November 1691 aged 55 years.
John Case married as his second wife Elizabeth, born in 1638, widow of Nathaniel Loomis and daughter of John Moore.
Elizabeth died July 1728 aged 90 years. John Case died 21 February 1704.

Most of the information on John Case b. 1616 came from the book written by Ruth Cost Duncan. A copy is located in the Church of Jesus Christ's Genealogy Library located in Salt Lake City, Utah.
John resided in Windsor until 1669 when he removed to Simsbury and settled in the area known as "Weatogue". He was appointed constable for Massaco by the General Court 14 Oct 1669. He represented his town at the General Court in 1670 and several times afterwards.
Johns will dated 21 Nov 1700 named his wife, Elizabeth, six sons and four daughters. Samuel Spencer of Hartford and John Case, his son, were executors.

John Case, 1616 - 1703John 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.
