Hi Jeff - I think I got her on the first try. Look this over and see if you
agree. If you do, I can give you more info back to John Case who came to
Simsbury from England in 1635 or 1636. If not, I'll look at others (there's alot
of Lydia Cases!)

I know it was a LONG way to go to get to Lydia, but since so many cousins and
a sibling had removed to Sheffield MA I thought it was likely that she may be
yours and I wanted to give you as much info as possible.
Let me know if you think she's it and I'll give you whatever else I can find.
Best,
Kris
