Capt. Israel Case
b. 14 November 1757, d. 27 April 1818
Capt. Israel Case was born on 14 November 1757 at Simsbury, Hartford Co., CT. He was the son of Isaac Case and Bathsheba Humphrey. Capt. Israel Case married Joanna Case, daughter of Capt. Job Case and Joanna Wilcox, on 12 March 1778 at Simsbury, Hartford Co., CT. Capt. Israel Case died on 27 April 1818 at Worthington, Franklin Co., OH, at age 60. He was buried at St. John's Cemetery, Worthington, Franklin Co., OH.
Israel Case served in Capt. Jonathan Humphrey Jr.'s militia company of Col. Samuel McClellan's Regiment in the 1777-1778 march to Providence early in the Revolutionary War. He was living near the river in the Weatogue area of Simsbury when he sold his farm and his shares in the Weatogue "proprietary school" to move west. He was one of the original proprietors of the Scioto Company and in the partition August 11, 1804 he received four town lots and 193 acres in Worthington, 117 acres in Clinton Township, and 116 acres in Orange Township of Delaware County. He built a home on the farmlot northwest of Worthington and this is where the family was living at his death in 1818. Israel Case was one of the incorporators of St. John's Episcopal church in 1807, and although no tombstones survive Joanna and the unmarried children probably are buried there also.
Israel's family is detailed in the Simsbury Red Book, but daughters Ester and Ursula are not mentioned there. Ruth Cost Duncan mentions Ursula but not Ester. Both Ester and Ursula are mentioned in Scioto Company Descendants, Virginia Evans McCormick.
