BIOGRAPHY: Marriage to Mary Case is not mentioned in www2.palladiumnet.com. This source is well documented. I dought of Joseph was married to Mary. According to the date of the marriage it is before her second husband James Hillyer died. All: AFN: 8JQC-QX, gives birth date of 27 aug 1667, and Christening date as 27 aug 1667.

Joseph Phelps, Jr. was the son of Joseph Phelps and Hannah Newton. He was born at Windsor, Connecticut, 20 Aug 1667. He married first Mary Collier, the daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth (Sanford) Collier. She was born at Hartford, and died at Simsbury 13 Mar 1697.

He married second Sarah Case, 9th Nov 1699, the daughter of John and Sarah (Spencer) Case. She was born in Simsbury, 14th Aug 1676, where she died the 2nd of May 1704.

He married third, Mary Case, the daughter of Richard and Elizabeth Case; she was born at Simsbury, 1669 and died there 10th Sep 1757. She was a widow. Her will dated 13th Aug 1751, gives to her daughter Keziah, "Two suits of my clothes, viz.: My silk crape gown and my drugget gown and the petticoats that I used to wear with them, if not I give them to her daughter that tended her in her sickness, viz., daughter Lucy, and I give to her, my said daughter Keziah, or to her daughter Lucy as above, my quilted coat. All the rest of my Estate I do give and devise to my son David, and to my daughter Elizabeth, to be equally divided between them." Mr. Phelps does not refer to Keziah in his will, which probably indicates that she was a daughter of his wife Mary by her former husband.

Mr. Phelps settled in Simsbury, and was one of its most influential citizens. He held the office of Justice of the Peace for many years, and was elected to the General Assembly from 1709-1727, twenty-eight times; during this time the Legislature held two sessions each year.

Notes:

BIOGRAPHY: Simons' parents died when he was very young, about 1637/1638. It is believed that he was cared for by his uncle Simon. This uncle Simon Mills was an early settler, baker, and trader. It is believed that Simon grew up near the southern shoreline of the Farmington River where his uncle had land granted by a plantation in 1640. On the 10 of May 1653, when Simon was about 16 he purchased a houselot, with meadow adjoining (Loomis 1:64a) or his Uncle purchased it for him. Records show that this uncle kept an account with John Pynchon, a merchant of Springfield, Massachusetts for at least 14 years after the purchase of this land so it is presummed that this land was used just for grazing cattle because it was some distance for the Mill Brook district. This land has been identified as property on Broad Street (between Rowland Lane on the east, and Broad Street on the west and between the present "Windsor House" at the corner of Broad and Center Streets at the northern end, and the Windsor Library at the southern end of Windsor centere Green) (Stiles 2:500). After Simon married Mary Buell they made there residence on this land and that it was where their first seven children were born, three of whom died young. On March 23, 1660, Simon was chosen "Fence Viewer" by the Town of Windsor (Windsor Town Acts, 1:47b) and he was named as security in the pruchase of two stears and a cow by Edward King of Thomas Ford. Simon became a supporting member of the First Church in Windsor organized in 1630 and built in Windsor on the site marked by Founders Monument in 1960. Simon purchased a short seat, holding 3 persons. Mary's father was the carpenter who built the church. After 1670, Simon, having been given a grant of land in the new plantation, at that time called Massaco (later called Simsbury), took his family, wife Mary and children Mary, Hannah, John and Sarah, over the Talcott Mountains to a new home in the undeveloped plantation. When the town was burned in 1675 by King Philip's Indians, they returned temporarily to Windsor. Information from Hazel Bird. BIOGRAPHY: Some sources site Simons father as Simon instead of John. BIOGRAPHY: MATTHEW GRANT, WILLIAM BUELL, MICHAEL HUMPHREYS, SIMON MILLS, AND JOHN CASE On March 20, 1630, a ship called the "Mary and John" sailed from Plymouth, England, bearing 140 persons bound for New England in the American colonies. On May 30, they anchored in New England at the harbor of Nantasket (now Hull), Massachusetts. Among these passengers was a young man named Matthew Grant. The "Mary and John"'s passengers stayed briefly at the nearby town of Dorchester, Massachusetts. In September 1633, some of them set sail again, down the New England Coast to a site where a scouting colony had designed a section of land for a new town of Windsor, Connecticut. In the coming months, Matthew Grant, like other members of the "Mary and John"'s party and some other colonists, made the short voyage to help establish Windsor. In 1635 Windsor's settlers began dividing the land into lots for distribution among the town's founders. As a professional serveyor, Matthew Grant was closely involved in this process. BIOGRAPHY: Indeed, Matthew Grant was one of the most influential persons nvolved in the establishment of Windsor. In addition to being the town's surveyor for several years, he served as its Town Clerk for some terms. He maintained a thorough volume called the Old Church Records, which is one of the most important records documenting Windsor's early history. BIOGRAPHY: Michael Humphreys, was a pitch-and-tar manufacturer who received land title in 1647, the same year he married Matthew Grant's daughter Priscilla. In 1653, Simon Mills, a trader, bought land in Windsor, and, at some point, John Case also bought land in the town. BIOGRAPHY: In the 1660's, a major dispute wracked the Windsor Community Church (and other churches across New England). Most New England churches, including Windsor's, were governed by townsmen with strict Puritan inclinations. As immigration in the region grew, increasing numbers of settlers arrived who were more sympathetic to the established Church of England than to Puritan beliefs. Legally, these non-Puritan settlers had little choice other than to attend the Puritan worship services and to pay taxes to support the church and the pastor's family. The non-Puritan settlers began to insist that the laws governing church membership and support be modified to reflect the changing mix of Windsor's residents. BIOGRAPHY: Michael Humphreys was particularly outspoken on this point, even standing trial in local court for his challenge to the community church. By 1669, he had had enough. He left Windsor to helped establish the nearby settlement of Simsbury. Also among our Windsor ancestors to move to Simsbury were John Case and Simon Mills, Jr., the son of the early settler of Windsor, and his wife Mary Buell, the daughter of William Buell.

He sailed from Gravesend, England, sep 2 1635 on the ship Dorset and landed at Newport, R.I., but settled in Windsor, CT. He spent some years in Newton on Long Island, but in 1656 he returned to CT and in 1667 settled in Simsbury, formerly know as Massaco. In 1657 he married Sarah. John Case was recoginzed for his moral influence as well as his business integrity.
BIOGRAPHY: John was a farmer and a landowner, came to America in 1635, settling at Hartford, CT. He moved to Newtown, Long Island, but returned to CT and settled in the town of Windsor in 1656. He was one of the founders of Simsbury, in 1669. John had a brother Richard at Hartford, residing there in 1660. The family of John joined the church at Farmington 4 Jul 1693 (Church Records at Farmington), and was made Constable of "Massacco' in 1669, the first in the town. In 1670 he was appointed to the general court of Simsbury.

The First Settlers of Simsbury-Taken from the Simsbury Historical Society IN MEMORIES SECTION [this is where the 1616 birth date for John was located] but cannot find any other
credible sources for his birth. The Birth location given in the "First Settlers of Simsbury" was Aylesham. There is no evidence of John's parentage out there. If you want to add parents, please provide a credible source.
***********************
There does not appear to be any documentary evidence that John Case's middle name was Thurston. If someone has something, please post it. Also, the Aylesham parish register does not begin as early as 1616. When ADDING PARENTS, Please indicate sources.

John Case came to America at age 19 years. He supposedly came on the ship "Dorset". The 'Dorset' sailed from Gravesend, Kent September 30, 1635, bound for Bermuda. There was a Wm. Casse aboard, age 19.

He married first to Sarah Spencer, she was the mother of ALL of his children. He married second to Elizabeth (Moore) Loomis and had NO children with her!!

In February 1640 John Case conveyed 6 parcels of land to Wm. Gibbons.
This land was in the vicinity of Hartford, Connecticut, which shows him to be a resident there and of an age to convey land.
He lived in New Nederlands near Brooklyn 13 August 1666 with his wife Sarah who was born in 1636. He was in New London in 1656 and next year moved to Windsor. He was constable of Simsbury 1669, Deputy 1670-1691.
His wife Sarah died 3 November 1691 aged 55 years.
John Case married as his second wife Elizabeth, born in 1638, widow of Nathaniel Loomis and daughter of John Moore.
Elizabeth died July 1728 aged 90 years. John Case died 21 February 1704.

Most of the information on John Case b. 1616 came from the book written by Ruth Cost Duncan. A copy is located in the Church of Jesus Christ's Genealogy Library located in Salt Lake City, Utah.
John resided in Windsor until 1669 when he removed to Simsbury and settled in the area known as "Weatogue". He was appointed constable for Massaco by the General Court 14 Oct 1669. He represented his town at the General Court in 1670 and several times afterwards.
Johns will dated 21 Nov 1700 named his wife, Elizabeth, six sons and four daughters. Samuel Spencer of Hartford and John Case, his son, were executors.

John Case, 1616 - 1703John Case was born in Aylesham, England circa 1616 and died 21 Feb 1703 (or 1704 or 1705) in Simsbury, CT. The Case family is one of the ancient and honorable families of New England. They were noted as far back as Oliver Cromwell (1599-1659) and accumulated a fortune furnishing leather for the Army, being tanners and farniers. The records show they came from York, England to Aylesham, England in the year 1200. They held all the land around Aylesham so the town was said to be Cased in and were a clan by themselves. Many of them still reside there. Their land surrounded possessions of Anna Boleyn, who became the second wife of Henry VIII of England, and was beheaded "for treason" in 1536. The Cases were closely related by intermarriage to the Boleyns. John arrived in New England on the ship "Dorsett" on September 3, 1635 from Gravesend, England, at the age of 19 years. The ship landed around Long Island. He then moved to Dorchester, MA [1]. In 1637 John married Sarah Spencer (1636-1691), daughter of William and Agnes (Tucker) Spencer of Hartford, CT. They next moved to Hartford, then moved to Maspeth Kills, NY (now Newton according to our Genealogy). John and Sarah resided in Windsor CT from 1656 until 1669, when they removed to Simsbury and settled in the area known as "Weatogue" [3]. In 1667 John, with twenty others, received the first grant of land in Simsbury which was at Meadow Plain, Massaco (Simsbury). He lived about one mile south of the Pettibone Tavern, the second house south. He was a shoemaker and harness maker as well as a farmer. He was appointed constable for Massaco by the General Court Oct. 14, 1669, and represented his town at the General Court in 1670 and several times afterwards. He with six sons would go from Weatogue to what now (1900) is West Simsbury and cultivate the land there. Hence it was first called Case's Farms, afterwards Farms Village, then West Simsbury. They carried their guns with them as a protection from the Indians as well as to shoot game which was very plentiful there. The first of 5 children to John and Sarah were born in Windsor, the last 5 were born in Simsbury: Elizabeth born 1658 in Windsor; died 9 Oct 1718; married (1) Joseph Lewis; married (2) John Tuller Mary born 22 Jun 1660 in Windsor; died 22 Aug 1725; married (1) 1677/9 William Alderman who died 1697; married (2) 30 Mar 1698/9 James Hilliard who died 28 July 1720, age 76.
