Dear Donald,
I have only a little to contribute. My Cases came from the Pisgah Forest in North
Carolina. Their farms and homes were purchased by the Vanderbilt family and became part of
the Biltmore Estate. Afterwards, My great grandfather, Dolphus Alexander Case, ran away
from home (After his father died and his stepmother refused to send him to an older
brother) to go to this older brother in Harlingen, Texas, but stopped in Weakley County,
Tennessee where he eventually married and fathered my grandfather, Roy Lexie Case. I know
all the descendants of D. A. Case. His male line ended with my uncle, Jack Wilson Case,
who was killed in Korea at 23 in 1953. My mother, his sister, named me in his honor a hear
and a half after his death. But the connection I am trying to make is that my great
grandfather's mother was Martha Emaline Payne (1838-1875) who I believe was the
daughter of Isaiah Paine (spelled both ways) 1807-1882. Grandfather told me when I was a
child that he was a Payne descendant, but I was unaware of a combined migration that may
have included the Cases and the Paynes. It sounds worthy of further investigation.
Jack Case Wilson

William I am probably related to you as my ancestor Samuel Case, along with his
ncle William (senior) and various other Case family member settled near
ardstown (on the Salt) about 1780. I have information I can share with you if
ou like.
I'd like to comment on one thing you say, because I see a lot of confusion about
t on various websites.
eaving aside the issue of the southern Cases from the Carolinas, I constantly
ee references to Cases born in "VA".
t is important to realize that what this most likely refers to is the
outhwestern corner of Pennsylvania, which in the late 18th c. was claimed by
irginia-and NOT some southerly place like Richmond, VA. That is why you may
ometimes see the curious notation "born in VA or PA".
Samuel's family had been in Southold, Long Island, for several generations
efore they traveled (along with two other old Southold families, the Paddocks
nd Paines) to the area south of Pittsburgh. They spent only about a decade
here before moving on to Kentucky. All this is fairly well documented, not
ust for the Cases but also for the families they traveled with (and repeatedly
ntermarried with as well).
Probably federal land warrants were involved in both moves, as various members
f these families served in the militia in various wars, and so were given the
ights to claim land in the new territories. Later, members of my family moved
n from KY to Ohio and then Indiana, also following new land claims.
Contact me if you'd like to know more.

Jim,
I am a Case who has tried what you suggest... and found that the
"Carolina Cases" and the "Connecticut Cases" are genetically (y-DNA)
separate, distinct peoples. They are indeed the two main line Case
migrations into America but they are NOT related. I found a third
line.... "Delaware Cases". There are far fewer of them, but they too are
distinct from the other Case migrations into America.
Good hunting!

Hi,
New to this genealogy bug, I'm fortunate to have my line already traced
back
to SC, Thomas "Tootie" or "Toody" Case, born mid-1700s. My 4th
cousin
Vernon has graciously allowed me to leverage off of his previous work,
done
largely before the internet came to be. However, the trail seems to go
cold
at Tom Tootie. The thought is that he might be the son of William Case of
NC, who was noted to have lived in CT as a young man. This William was
supposed to have lived to age 109.
However, these are just the best guess - no proof of anything beyond Tom
Tootie living in SC in the late 1700s and his families (apparently two
wives
and families) moving to southern MS circa 1795 - 1803.
