Trish, my Horatio Case was b. in Montgomery co., MD 1791, had children
1812-1818 in Bracken co., KY, then had children 1824 and 1827 in Ohio, then
had Augustus D. Case in 1833 in Indiana. Looks like he covered a lot of
ground (4 states) MD -> Bracken co., KY -> Ohio -> Indiana. His
grandchildren were all born in Dearborn, Ind. Some ended up in Kansas and
some in Iowa. Wasn't it customary to go to a place where there were
friends or relatives?

Hi,
I had always thought my Cases would be German or English. So it was with
great surprise that I found them buried in a Presbyterian cemetery! Back
in
the early 1800s in Ohio. If I understand it right, Presbyterian
membership
would indicate that the person was Scots/Irish. Is this correct?
Also, someone mentioned an Augustus D. Case, b. in Indiana. There was an
Augustus Case in Wayne Co., OH after the Revolutionary War. Might that
be a
clue to a connection between the MD bunch and the OH bunch?
