Notes
- from Find A Grave Memorial# 10350175
Sarah Spencer, second dau. of William Spencer and Agnes Harris, born circa 1636-7 at Cambridge, Mass. Her father died in early 1640 at Hartford, Conn. and Sarah was raised at Hartford by her mother and stepfather, William Edwards. In the June 1650 initial distribution of her father's estate, it is stated that Sarah was to reach her 18th birthday in the year 1653, and Richard Lord of Hartford was to hold Sarah's legacy until the first occurred: reaching 18 years of age or marriage. This indicates she was born circa 1636. She d. at Simsbury, Conn. Nov. 3, 1691. Her gravestone errantly calls her married surname as "Cass" but also states she died "Aged" 55, meaning "Ætatis" 55. This indicates when she died she was then 54 years old b. on or after Nov. 4, 1636.
By early 1656, probably at Hartford, Conn., Sarah m. John Case. ... On Aug. 17, 1656 at Maspeth Kill in extreme northwest Long Island, then part of Dutch New Netherlands, John Case penned a power of attorney "to his Loving ffather William Edwards, living at Hartford in New England." This requested that William Edwards recover the remainder of the legacy held by Richard Lord granted to wife Sarah in the will of her father, William Spencer. Two witnesses signed the power of attorney, the second being Thomas "Casse." That John and Sarah (Spencer) Case were residing in or near New Amsterdam, now New York City, is complimented by the baptism of their eldest child, dau. Elizabeth, at the Reformed Dutch Church then located inside Fort Amsterdam, the annotated entry being:
• 1656, 26 Nov; Jan Cees (father), Sara Cees (mother); Elisabeth (child); no witnesses.
Comments
- 9th cousin 8 times removed from Lady Diana Spencer. Hard to believe we didn't inherit the china
- One of the more interesting aspects of the Case family of Simsbury, Conn. is that beginning in the third generation it was common for close Case cousins to marry. This continued for many generations thereafter.
