Cheryl,
Yes, Irish --maybe--- until I find differently. As far as I no, no one has
connected these two branches, if they had we sure wouldn't be having all this
trouble. A lot of the names seem to be different--if you get away from the
usual "James or John." Migration along with land grants from the Rev. war
service, took mine to Kentucky. In looking at my own ancestors history, I find
that they indeed seemed to settle within what we call the Scotts, Irish areas
here in the South. My Case's married into other Irish or Scott familys.They
would tend to do so in a celtic heirtage. My Grandmother Mamie Case was a
Dryden , they came from Scottland ( God bless em) My GG Grandfather Case
married an Irish lady also and on and on.
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?
