II Theophilus Case [History of Orange County, New York. By L. H. Clark and E. M. Ruttember. 1881. Pages 22-23.]; died October 26, 1716; is believed to have married Hannah ---; and, probably to have had children: William, Ichabod, John [Colonial Laws of the State of New York. Volume 3. Page 372.], and Benjamin [Hall of Records. New York City. Surrogate's Office. Liber 27. Page 360. (Many Probate records, prior to 1800, are kept here, rather than in their proper Counties.)].
III Hannah Case; perhaps daughter of Henry and Martha (Corwin) Case [History of Orange County, New York. By L. H. Clark and E. M. Ruttember. 1881. Pages 22-23.].
HENRY CASE, JUNIOR, son of Henry Case, founder of the family in Southold, Long Island, so far as known with evidence, and of the latter's wife, Martha (Corwin) Case [History of Orange County, New York. By L. H. Clark and E. M. Ruttember. 1881. Pages 22-23.], was born September 5, 1659 [Information given by Ralph Ernest Case, Esquire, grandson of Henry L. and Ann CAtherine (Millspaugh) Case.].
On June 14, 1681, he set forth a statement of property which he had received as part of his father's estate, from his mother, then Martha Hutchinson, who had been Administratrix of this estate (as this document shows), and, thereby, released his mother from all further conveyance to him of his father's holdings. The record follows.
"Know all men by these presents yt I Henry Case of Southold {illegible} East Rideing of Yorkshire upon Long Island haveing given and granted (out of the estate of my father Henry Case, by my mother Martha Hutchinson) who was impowered to take administration of ye sd estate, **taine percells of Land, as namely, A first lott comonage in the Old {illegible} bounds of Southold, and seven acres of Wood land -- more or less -- {illegible} nere the Town on ye north side thereof -- and one acre of Land in old field -- and also a p'cell of meadow at Occabauck -- and likewise grant of ye whome lott after my mothers decease.

The fact that part of Henry Case' payment for this property, bought from Thomas Mapes, was to be made in shoes seems to make evident that he was a shoemaker, or cordwainer, as a practiser of this trade was called at that time, frequently.
He died in 1664, and was then a young man [History of Orange County, New York. By L. H. Clark and E. M. Ruttember. 1881. Pages 22-23.]. No account has come down as to the manner or cause of his death, nor of its exact date. It seems possible that he might have been engaged in fighting on the side of the English against the Dutch. It was in August of 1664 (the year of Henry Case' death), that an English fleet arrived at what, then, was New Amsterdam, -- now New York, -- and demanded surrender of the town and all of New Netherland from the Dutch Governor, Stuyvesant. On September 8, 1664, all came into English possession. This, of course, also put an end to the Dutch claims concerning the English tons on Long Island, which claims had long stirred conflict [History of Orange County, New York. By Samuel W. Eager. 1846-1847. Page 248.]. While, of course, it is only supposition, it may be that Henry Case had served in some way with the English victors. If this were so, and he died away from Southold, in some fight or skirmish against the Dutch, this might explain the lack of details about his death in the Southold records.
The wife of Henry Case was Martha, the only daughter of Matthias and Margaret Corwin [History of Orange County, New York. L. H. Clark and E. M. Ruttember. 1881. Pages 391-392.]. An account of the Corwin family is given elsewhere in these studies of Case and allied ancestry.
She married for a second husband, Thomas Hutchinson, and had a son, Matthias Hutchinson (named, of course, for her father, Matthias Corwin). In 1694, this son bought, from Henry Case (her son, by her first marriage, to Henry Case, the elder), the homestead at Southold, purchased, as already described, in 1659, from Thomas Mapes, by the elder Henry Case [Kingston, Ulster County, New York. Registry of Deeds. Liber HH. Page 234.].
He died in 1664, and was then a young man [History of Orange County, New York. By L. H. Clark and E. M. Ruttember. 1881. Pages 22-23.].
