b.1591
d.1635
Spouse: Ruth James | Father: of Great Fransham William Case
Mother: | "William Case was born about 1590 in the town of Aylesham, England. There is no documented information about his life in England or his profession. Also, there is no available information about his wife, where he lived or what motivated is the decision to emigrate with his five sons to the New World. However, but for that decision, the Case family line in the United States as documented herein would never have existed. "There is a sailing list for the ship "Dorset" showing that William Case and his five sons sailed from the port of Gravesend, England, for the New World on September 3, 1635. The sailing list shows the sons as William Solomon Case, age 24, Thomas Terril Case, age 18, John Trustin Case, age 16, and William Case, age 19. There also appears to have been a son, Richard, age not shown. William Case is reported to have died at sea on the voyage but the cause of death is not documented. At that time he was about 45 years of age. William Cases sons landed at Ipswich, Massachusetts, which is north of Gloucester. At least 15 ships were reported to have sailed that route from England in 1635." | |
