Chester Isaac Harmonway Case was the first individual in this line that I found to start
using the CASS spelling.
Chester was a physician in Ripley County, Indiana. His 2nd wife's tombstone includes
both spellings.
1880 Census info from Otter Creek, Ripley County, Indiana T9 0308 pg 488 D gives Chester
H. Cass born NY,
parents born NY, occupation Surgeon and Physician. Shows age as 56. This would not
calculate with
1817 birth date I have listed! (Deducted from 1880 census, this would give a birth of
1824.)
Listed in Directory of Deceased American Physicians, 1804-1929.
