father Clifford Anthony Case and then we are related and share the same Case
line. His grandfather was then Charles Carroll Case and his middle name was
NOT Cory. I believe this confusion is the result of a Charles Mahlon Case
(1845-1905) who married Isabella Cory (1849-1884) in New York. In addition I
suggest you not accept the Norfolk England birth of the William Clifford
Case (father of CC Case) which is refuted by the 1850 census records and
numerous records of the other children, most of whom we have identified. At
the time (1850) 2 of the children were still at home and one of them is CC
Case. My father was Clifford Anthony Case and his brothers were Harold
Eldred Case and Charles Carroll Case, both of whom I knew. Half brothers
were then Wayne and Carl and half sister Esther. Charles Carroll Case did
marry Esther Anne Green(e) and William Clifford Case, hais father, married
Cynthia Taber from Rhode Island. I do not know any more of Wm's line but the
line of Cynthia Taber, a Mayflower descendant, is well documented.
As for the William Clifford Case who is buried in Giddinsgville, I do not
know where in Connecticut he was born. To further compound your problem if
you choose to pursue this, I am in the Case DNA project and it seems my line
is from John Casse and not the John Case/Sarah Spenser line and I am closely
related to the Cass line.
Welcome cousin.

Carl Case (my grand father) told my mother some odd stories when he was
younger. She said that they spoke of his family very little. He said that he
had one older brother named Wayne and one older sister named Esther. He said
that his Mother Mary had died during his birth in January 14, 1930 and his
father had died during the war. After there deaths all 3 children were
placed in an orphanage in Jefferson, New York. He told her that the 2 older
children were adopted out, but he had been left behind. My mother had
assumed as a child that he was left because of his health issues. Due to
Heart related problems he was not expected to live passed infancy. We have
been researching these "facts" and things have not been panning out quite
the way he said.
These's are the facts:
We know from his death records that he was born in Watertown City, New
York. My mother and I plan on to take the 2 1/2 hr ride there some point
this summer to try to get his birth Certificate. We know that he died in
December 19, 1991 in Albany, New York. We know that he served in the Army at
one point before the 60's. He got married (some time in the late 50's, early
60's) to Elizabeth M Viall. They had 3 children together: Carl Daniel,
Charlene Dawn (my mother), And Heather Elizabeth.
Things that that I have Found:
Threw the past 7 or so years I found. A 1930's Census Listing Mary A 33,
Esther M 10, Wayne J 6 And Carl F 2/12. Which fits the time of his birth. I
later found that the Mary A Case listed on the Census is actually Mary Ann
Hubert who died in 1964. I found 2 Obituary's in reference to her death as
well as one for William. Which has lead me to believe that he is in fact
Williams' child.

I do not know what the reasons are behind the "story" that my mother was
told. I often wonder if it did have to do with the problem that were going
on when my Grandfather was conceived. My mother was young (far before her
teens) when she was told this. There for I am left to assume that it was a
easier was to explain the why the family was not in contact. And just made
up for his childhood threw his children.

Subject: [CASE-FAMILY] William and Charles Case
I am not sure where to begin in this response but I will start by stating
hat I know to be true.
William Case was born in Connecticut in 1776 (where unknown) (1850 census
f Ellisburgh NY,and children's census records) and died 10 Jan 1853
Giddingsville cemetery). Married Cynthia Taber (possibly 22 Oct 1804 in
rovidence, Saratoga County NY, child's indicates he came from Galway in
aratoga)), born 24 Nov 1785 Tiverton RI and died 14 April 1844 Ellisburgh,
uried Giddingsville. William's stone reads "William Case died Jan 10,1853
n the 76 year 6 months of his life." Tracking back that makes him born July
776 and the census records of he and his children confirm birth is
onnecticut. At the time of death son Charles and daughter Tirzah still at
ome.
Charles Carroll Case son (my great grandfather), one of 11 children (source
bituary) born 29 August 1831 Ellisburgh died 8 May 1878, married Esther
nne Green (b19 Jan 1840 Rodman, d 12 April1906 Adams. Childs). Married
859. They along with 3 sons who died early, buried in Adams Rural with
sther's father, Winslow Greene and mother, Mariva Strickland. I have silver
poons with Mariva's and Esther's name engraved on them. They had 2 sons H
lton and William Clifford.
William Clifford Case (my grandfather) was born 19 May 1862 in Cape
incent and died 27 April 1929 in Adams and is buried in the plot of Alton
n an unmarked grave. He married Mary Eldred (29 Jan 1863 Cape Vincent died
3 Sept Baltimore Md) , married 1883 Cape Vincent. They had 3 children,
harles Carroll, Harold Eldred and Clifford Anthony (my father). They
ivorced while living in Canton. Census records indicate he married another
ary (last name unknown to me) and had 2 children, Wayne and Esther (census
ecords). Apparently this marriage also failed and he died at his brother
lton's house in Adams and is buried there.
his is William's obit.
bituary: from Jefferson County Journal, 1 May 1929. Page 6:
ILLIAM C. CASE ------- William C. Case, 68, a former resident of
atertown, died at the home of his brother, H. Alton Case, in this village
riday night at 10. Mr. Case had been ill about one week. He
as born in Cape Vincent on May 19th, 1862, a son of Charles C. and Esther
. Green Case. When he was about two years of age his parents removed to
atertown. His father was superintendent of the R. W. & O. railroad for
bout four years. Mr. Case left Watertown at the age of 20, and since that
ime had resided in Canton and Massena, coming to his brother's home here a
ear and a half ago. He was an expert accountant. After being divorced
rom his first wife, Miss Mary Eldred, he remarried and is survived by his
ife, Mrs. Mary Case, of Watertown; five children, Charles, Harold,
lifford, Wayne, Esther; one brother, H. Alton Case, of Adams. Funeral
ervices were conducted by Rev. Mr. Gardner, pastor of the Methodist
piscopal church of Adams on Sunday, at 2 P. M. at his brother's home in
dams. Burial was made in Rural cemetery, Adams." I have considerable
ocumentation support.
What I do not know- How the name Cory got associated with my family.
harles Case's middle name was not Cory but Carroll ( named after Charles
arroll of Maryland who was admired by William Case). Perhaps there is
nother Charles Cory Case. My name is Charles Case and I had a cousin Major
eneral Charles Carroll Case. Perhaps his second wife was your Mary. The
ame Carl Francis does not appear in the obit and note he died in 1929 and
he birth of Carl you state as 1930, a possibility but not likely
onsidering the amount of time he spent at his brother's house The name
sther and Wayne appear in both counts so perhaps this is the same worthless
illiam Case. If you are looking at his second family (which he also left),
y records would be of little value to you to trace downward. my proven
ecords of William (1776-1853) do not go back. However Cynthia Taber's
ecords are well documented. References to this Case branch exist in both
hilds and Hough histories of Jefferson County, NY. I am listed in the Case
NA project and it is a possibility that William was born to Case's leaving
outhhold when the British invaded Long Island in 1776. This group went to
onnecticut and could account for William's birth in that state as noted in
arious census records. Another Case line not in my DNA line "claims" this
ut has no proof either.
