John Case was born in Aylesham, England abt 1616. He married Sarah Spencer, daughter of William Spencer and Agnes Harris, before 17 Aug 1656 in Windsor, Hartford, CT. He is reported to be buried beside her in an unmarked grave. After Sarah's death, John then married a second wife, named Elizabeth Moore Loomis, the widow of Nathaniel Loomis, with whom he had no issue. (So one has to wonder if he was really buried beside Elizabeth, and not Sarah.)
Sarah's alleged tombstone also has a last name of Cass, instead of Case, but the historians in the area seem to feel that this is the correct Sarah (Spencer) Case, first wife of John Case.
They are reported to have had a son, John Case, born 5 Jan 1662 in Windsor, Hartford, Ct., who married 12 Sept 1684 in Simsbury, Hartford, CT., to Mary Olcutt, and 2) to Sarah Holcomb in 1693. Other children of John Case and Sarah Spencer were:
Elizabeth Case b. 1658 Windsor
Mary Case b. 22 Jun 1660 Windsor
William Case b. 5 Jun 1665 Windsor
Samuel Case b. 1 Jun 1667 Windsor
Richard Case b. 27 Apr 1669 Simsbury
Bartholomew Case b. 1 Oct 1670 Simsbury
Joseph Case b. 6 Apr 1674 Simbbury
Sarah Case 20 Apr 1676 Simsbury
Abigail Case 4 May 1682 Simsbury
Note from a relative:
Zoe,
John Case and wife Sarah Spencer are my ancestors.
They did not marry on the date mention by some. That is the date John Case sent a letter from Maspeth Kill (i.e., Maspeth Creek) on Long Island (later called
Newtown, now part of the City of Brooklyn, NY) to "my honored father William
Edwards" at Hartford. Hence, they were married before that date. Their first
child, dau. Elizabeth, was probably born there.
