I tried to type this into my word as it was on the copies of the 4
typewritten pages I got.
Taken from the CD of Gray Combs, of Marion, NY for the history of his home.
(Gary & his wife own the Old Curtis homesteasd in Marion, Wayne Co., N.Y.)
I found this info by looking up Mary Ann Case who m. Seth Curtis.
I know only really about the Peter Case end of this. There has long been a
Warren Case in the area that I thought might be connected and this shows me it
is. I hope this helps someone. I know it helps me.
Yes, there will be the Wickman/Allen debate. And I do believe that ther are
mistakes in here. (no, not the Wickman info)
Everything below Case family is from these papers except the bold letters
from me. Lynn Mills
*Mr. Combs got his info tom the local history groups. Garycom(a)aol.com
This CD is available for $5.00. It was great for me.

himself at the feet of a pretty girl he met at a dance. (S.B.C.)
