Hi All,
I have a couple of "mystery" Cases' in the family that I hope will sound
familiar to someone.
(1) Clarissa or Clarisa CASE was born in NY around 1815. She married Benjamin HOCKNELL
(b. NY Jul 1820). I don't know if they married in NY or MI, but first child was born
in Macomb Co., MI in 1838. She had 6 children before she died (before 1857). The last
was a son named Gabriel CASE HOCKNELL born Nov 1849.
(2) Margaret CASE was also born in NY abt. 1830. She married Orel Calvin WARRINER abt.
1851 in Hillsdale Co., MI. Margaret had five children and died in 1871. Margaret's
first child was Theresa Marie WARRINER b. 1852.
Here is where it gets confusing! Clarissa Case HOCKNELL'S son, Gabriel Case HOCKNELL,
married Margaret Case WARRINER'S first daughter Theresa Marie WARRINER.
Gabriel and Theresa were my great-great grandparents. We are trying to find out the
parents of Clarissa and Margaret. We don't think they are sisters because of the 15
year difference in births (not that unsual though, I admit), but think that they might be
related in some way.
Any help greatly appreciated!
