CASE, BARNARD, came from Martha's Vineyard in 1787, and did much in laying out the town. He lived first on the east side of Sunnybec Pond (where Alpheus Collamore afterward settled); and, secondly, on the farm of Thomas Butler. He was considered an excellent scholar for the place and the time, taught school, worked some as a black- smith, and was very much respected. In consequence of his recommendation, the purpose of making a Common of the Old Burying Ground hill was abandoned. It is said that he recommended the spot near where the canal crosses the road ; also the present Common. Before many of the roads were laid out, he surveyed and recommended one from the neighborhood of the Reuben Hills farm, to run south-east, along west of Levi Morse's, and perhaps forty rods east of the falls at South Union, in a direct line to Warren.
