Dear Members of the Case Surname Discussion Group,
This post has two purposes. First, I would like to thank the several
Case researchers who responded to my query regarding J.W. Case and H.L.
Case, who were on an 1869 map of Suffield Town(ship), Hartford County,
Connecticut. The two individuals were indeed Jarvis Warren Case and
Henry L. Case, who were brothers. Their father was Warren Case. I
appreciate your help very much. I have not yet found any connection to
the L. Case described below.
The second item in this post is to announce that more information has
come to light, regarding L. Case's debtor, George Nichols Remington. L.
Case was mentioned in a Suffield Bill of Sale dated November 12, 1842.
L. Case was said to be a creditor of George N. Remington. The amount
owed at that time was $101.18.
I have found, through the kind assistance of several researchers, that
George N. Remington had moved from Suffield, Connecticut to the city of
Peoria, Peoria County, Illinois, by 1850, when he was enumerated in the
Federal Census there as George Remmington (two "m.s"). In addition,
George N. Rem(m)ington purchased a hotel in Peoria in 1853 and changed
its name from the Massasoit House to Remmington House. He sold the hotel
in 1856. In 1857, George N. Remington's son Philip Halsey Remington
entered West Point Military Academy, having obtained his appointment in
Illinois. Philip Remington graduated in 1861 and was in the same class
as George Armstrong Custer.
This sheds a little more light on L. Case and his relationship to George
N. Remington. I hope to find out when and how George N. Remington paid
his debt to L. Case, because that will lead to finding Mr. Remington's
departure date to Illinois. If you have any information, please share
your insights with me. Thank you so much!
Sincerely,
Randal W. Cooper
