Happy Holidays Everyone,
I am seeking relatives and parentage of John Alexander Case,
b. March 1847, Pennsylvania, s/o ? , father born in PA and mother born in
Maryland. John d. 18 Sept 1927 in Pine Bluff, Jefferson Co., AR.
Heresay has it that he was 100 years old when he died. The census doesn't
seem to support that claim.
Heresay again says he joined the Civil War for the Union and ended up in
Tennessee when the war had ended. He just "up and left" I was told when he
heard the war was over and then was classified a desserter.
He ended up in Jefferson, Jefferson Co., Arkansas for some unknown reason and
married a Margaret Matilda (Web) Ramsey, a widow, b. August 1861 AR d. abt
1903 AR.
She had three daughters. Alfa, Nola, and Rona. She and John married abt 1894
and had four children as follows:
1. William Alexander CASE b. July 1895, Jefferson, Jefferson Co., AR. d.
Ohio (Cinncinati?) This leads me to believe he had gone there where other
Case relatives may have lived.
Since William Alexander is his firstborn son, could someone pleasee check
their databases for an older William Alexander or Alexander, who could
potentially be a father of John Alexander CASE, as first born sons were
commonly named after their grandfathers.
I found a William CASE listed in the SSDI b. 4 Jul 1895 d. Jan 1971 in
Covington, KY. The birthdate is similiar but the location seems off. I will
have to order this SS application to see what parents are listed.
2. John Alphred CASE b. 19 Feb 1897, Jefferson, Jefferson Co., AR d. Sept 1978
Little rock, Pulaski Co., AR. ma 19 April 1919 Pine Bluff, Jefferson Co., AR
Lena Catherine MAUPIN
3. Ida Mae CASE b. Jan 1900 AR
She married a ? Walker. Children were: Joe and Earl Walker. It was said she
moved to California and later remarried.
4. Thomas J. CASE b. abt 1903 AR.
Is it possible for someone to look and see if there was a Thomas, William,
Alexander, Alphred, or John in PA b. abt 1820 who had a son named named John
A. born 1847 who may have had siblings by these names, including Ida Mae?
John Alphred CASE is f/o George Alphred CASE b. April 20, 1924, and he is f/o
Dennis Lee CASE, my husband and John Ray CASE. We have six children to add to
the Case family tree.
Thank you -
