Tim’s 4th-great-grandfather, Aaron Newton Case, son of Aaron & Margaret (Meacham) Case, was born 24 January 1788 in Connecticut, and died 14 February 1870 in Cambridge Junction, Michigan. He married, 26 November 1812 in Windsor, Connecticut, Laura Amanda Roberts, who was born 17 November 1792 in Bloomfield, Connecticut, and died 15 November 1829 in Simsbury, Connecticut, daughter of Lemuel & Roxey (Gillett) Roberts.
Aaron owned a farm in Simsbury [Bloomfield] until 1832, when he was about 44, and after Laura’s death, he moved to Windsor, Ohio where he purchased a new farm. The 1850 census has him living in Windsor with two of his grandsons, William N., age 3, and Martin E., age 0, and a 16-year-old named Robert Adkins. In 1860 he was living there with his son, Galusha, daughter-in-law, and their six sons. He lived there until 1867, when he was about 79, and then moved to Cambridge Township, Michigan. Apparently Aaron remained a widower for 40 years until his death. He lies buried in Cambridge Junction Cemetery. Laura lies buried in Saint Andrew’s Episcopal Church Cemetery in Bloomfield, Connecticut.
