GENEALOGY OF THE PURITANS.
CASE, RICHARD, was not as early a settler at Hartford as many others ; he m. Eliz'th, dau'r of John Purcase or Purchase, (a first settler in Hartford.) He removed on the east side of Conn. River, into E. Hartford, about 1669. He had three children b. in Hartford, viz., Richard, Jun., John and Mary. He describes himself of Hart- ford, in his will dated Sept. 8th, 1690, and d. at E. Hartford about 1693 or 1694. Inventory dated March 30, 1694, £203, 2s. 6d His widow Eliz'th, and Tho's Olcott, his kinsman, Exec'rs. He made his mark to his will. The Court appointed Thomas Olcot and Mr. Wm. Pitkin, Jun., overseers to assist the widow by their advice, April, 1694. It has been stated by some of the family, that Richard Case, of Windsor, son of John, was the same Richard who settled at Hartford. Richard, son of John, was born at Windsor Aug. 27, 1669, and Richard, of Hartford, was propounded for a free- man in Oct., 1671. Richard Case, Jun., of E. Hartford, son of Richard and Elizabeth, d. on Saturday, Feb. 22, 1724, as testified by his relict Sarah. He gave to his son Joseph all his lands and estate, by Joseph paying his two sisters £35 each ; his son Charles or Charter, he had before provided for, and gave him two acres of land in his will only. His children recorded as b. at Hartford, Sa- rah, b. Oct. 1, 1703 ; Joseph, b. Dec. 27, 1705; Eliz'th, b. Sept. 1, 1710, and others not recorded. These descendants of Richard are known as the East Hartford Cases. There was a Benjamin Case, who removed from Mansfield to Coventry, at an early period ; he was probably of the Windham family.
CASE, THOMAS, resided at Newtown, L. I., in 1674, and was ordered by the court there in May, 1674, not to entertain the wife of Wm. Smith, without her husband's knowledge.
CASE, JOSEPH, was of Rhode Island, and had children born there, viz., Joseph, b. in 1678; W'm, b. 1681; Mary, Hannah, Margaret, John and Emanuel.
CASE, RICHARD, and Wm. Burnham, of Hartford, were pro- pounded for freemen in Oct., 1671.
Those relatives who claim that Richard Case, of East Hartford, was a son of John, of Windsor, by looking at the birth of Richard, the son of John, will discover that Richard, of Hartford, was a man in active life, before Richard, son of John, was born.
Ten of this name have graduated at Yale College, and one Case and one Cass at Harvard.
Case has 5 coats of arms ; Casse, 2; Cass, 2; Cassey, 1.

Farmer says, "JOSEPH CASS, Exeter, as early as 1680, had chil- dren, from one of whom descended Major Jonathan Cass, father of Hon. Lewis Cass, late governor of Michigan, a native of New Hamp- shire." The lady of Hon. Lewis Cass, lately deceased, was a de- scendant of the Selden family, of Connecticut. Quere, were not Cass and Case originally the same name. The name of Case is occa- sionally spelled upon the Conn. records, Cass. Richard Case, in 1669, purchased of William Edwards, and Agnes, his wife, all their division of upland and water land, east of the Great River, about ninety acres-perhaps removed to E. Hartford about this time.

Whiting, of said Windham, and other personal property. To the church of the town he gave £10 in money. He made Mary How- ard, executrix, and gave her the remainder of his estate, unless his child, or any of his children then in England, should come to New England, and if so, such as should come should have all his estate. He was the first of the name in the colony. This name is spelt Kates, on record at Hartford, and by himself in his will, but he was the same Lieut. John Cates who served under Oliver Cromwell's administration of the British government. His negro Jo, whom he gave to Mr. Whiting, he procured in Virginia, where he first landed. He escaped his pursuers in Virginia, and came to Nor- wich, yet feeling unsafe, he went to Windham, when a wilderness, and in 1689 raised the first house, where he closed his life in safety from punishment by Charles II. He gave no silver plate to any person, in his will, as has been stated by some historians. He and his servant were the two first settlers in Windham, and erected the first house there.

CATLIN, CATLING, THOMAS, was not one of the first pro- prietors and settlers in Hartford. He is first found at Hartford, about 1645-6, by the name of Catling. The time he came from England, or the ship he came in, is not found. He was one of the viewers of chimneys, in 1646-7, and owned two lots of land in Elm street, No's 23 and 24, in 1646. Soon after he came to Hartford, he was appointed a constable of the town, which office he held many years. The office of constable at that time was one of the most honorable and trustworthy in the colony. He held other places of trust in the colony and town. He had a portion in a division of lands in 1672, and was living in 1687, when he testified in court and was 75 years old. He was probably married before he came to Hartford, and brought with him his only son John, and his wife, as his son is not found born at Hartford, by the record. He had a daughter, Mary, b. at Hartford, and baptized Nov. 29th, 1646, and died. A second daughter, Mary, baptized May 6th, 1649.
