I am looking for the parents of Augustus L Case, b. 1816 in Licking County
Ohio, brother of Wm. Hunter Case, b.1818-9, whose family later moved in 1832
to Liberty twp, Delaware Co. Ohio where Augustus L Case married Cynthia
Fuller in Sept 1939, and was the father of James Oscar Case (b.1840),
Lindora Case, A. Josephine Case, etc. Who he was, and from whence he came
is a mystery to me.
I do not believe Augustus L Case's father, Augustus, to be the Augustus who
was reportedly born in 1770, (son of Jesse Case and Sarah Humphrey), and who
married Hannah Hoskins in 1797, (and who parented 6 children from 1799 -
1813 in Connecticut). THAT Augustus Case could not possibly have appeared in
Ohio in the early 1800s.
I believe A. L.'s father was born later (1784 somewhere in Connecticut), as
reported in the 1840 and 1850 census reports from Concord twp, Ohio. (The
1840 census reports Augustus L's name to be Augustus M, "Family 54").
There is a marriage reported in Marietta Ohio between one Augustus Case and
Lucinda Curtis on May 31, 1814, and it would seem much more probable that
these were the parents of Augustus L and Wm H Case of Licking Co, all of
whom reportedly moved in 1832 to Liberty Twp, Delaware Co. where records
from that point on all appear to coincide.
Does anyone have a bona fide lead on Augustus L Case's father Augustus? (He
is NOT the Augustus Case from N. J. who appeared in Plain, Wayne Co. in
1814).
Roger S Case, g-g-grandson of Augustus L Case of Liberty twp, Ohio, via
Oscar J., Nelson F., and Stanley Tone Case.
