THE FAMILY OF
JOHN CASE (ca 1750 - ca 1825) Rev. Pension #BLWC-1826-00
Old Tryon, Rutherford,
and Old Buncombe Counties, NC
|
John Case was born about 1750, the earliest person in this lineage so far
to be identified. We pick up records about him in Old Tryon Court
records on jury duty, then in the Rutherford County Census for 1790 where
he appeared with a listing of 6 sons and 6 daughters. He had participated
in the Revolution, and filed application for a Revolutionary War Pension
under the number, BLWC-1826-00. Does anyone have a copy of his pension
application?
We find him on the 1800 census of Old Buncombe County with a listing of
ten children, and he died about 1825 at his home in Dana, NC. On
the 1810 census of Buncombe Co., NC, in his household there is one male
45+, 1 female 45+, 1 female 16-26.
He and his wife had issue:
John Jr. (1770-1835);
Daniel (b. between
1771 and 1779) married and had issue. In 1840 he was between 60-69;
Jesse,
twin to Daniel, married and had issue;
Thomas Case (1774-1850);
James Case (b.
ca 1792) twice married; lived on Sugar Loaf Road near Dana where he farmed
and raised cattle, had twelve children;
William Case;
Nancy Case who
married Gabriel Jackson Jr.;
five additional
daughters still to be identified

THOMAS
BOSIER CASE
Doris
Cline Ward
|
| Thomas Bosier
Case was born about 1805 in North Carolina, probably in Buncombe County,
because by that time a large family group of Cases had moved into the area
of Old Buncombe County which eventually became Henderson County. The 1850
Census of Henderson County listed his age as 45, therefore born about 1805.
He was known by his second name of 'Bosier', according to oral tradition
received through community records, and a great granddaughter, Nellie Byers
Ward Schroeder. His parents have not been fully documented but it is probable
that his father was a Daniel Case, brother to the Thomas Case who married
Elizabeth Stepp, daughter of James and Polly (Mills) Stepp. Daniel's wife
is still unknown.
One indication
of his father as being "Daniel" is found in the deed listed in Book 19,
page 275 of Buncombe County, NC where Daniel Case sold/granted 20 acres
in Clear Creek to sons, Thomas and John. Then later is found,
in Bk. 8, page 687, recorded in 1859 in Henderson County,
Daniel and Thomas
B. Case sell 20 acres on March 19, 1856 to Nathan Drake.
"Beginning on
three red oak saplings and running north to Andrew Miller's line to a stake
in said line, then east with Miller's line to a stake in Roberson's line
then with said Robinson's line to a pine in George Allen's line then with
Allen's line to the beginning - 20 acres more or less.
signed Daniel
Case
Thomas B. Case.
Wit. Pennel Gibreath."
It might be construed
that this was a Daniel Jr., older brother of Thomas B. Case, since he signed
first. There was no mention of a John Case, brother, in the above transaction.
About 1828/9,
Thomas B. Case married Winnifor Justice, born 1809/11, the daughter of
James Dyar and Anthroit (Thomas) Justice. This information is from Justice
family records where James and Anthroit's oldest child and daughter was
named Winnie, who married Thomas B. Case. They had a large family of ten
children.
It is very probable
that Thomas, known as "Bosier" Case did some farming, but in the 1860 census
Thomas B. Case was described as being a miller. In Lenoir Ray's book entitled
Postmarks,
"A History of Henderson County, N.C. from 1787 to 1968," on page 172 he
was discussing the power plant situation as it was in 1904. Having been
started in 1903, the number of customers for its electrical service quickly
overloaded the facilities, so in 1904 "the Hendersonville Power and Light
Company was incorporated with a capital of $12,000. Then
the Bosier
Case mill shoals on Big Hungry between Decatur and Fish Top was purchased.
A dam was built and lines were run to Hendersonville. This was not completed
until November, however, and in the meantime a steam plant furnished limited
service."
This would indicate
that Bosier Case had a very viable mill stream operation going for about
40 years and was probably the mill was his major source of income during
that part of his life, the sale of which probably ensured him some retirement
income, while descendants can feel that their ancestor was part of the
pioneer electric development of the area.

Bosier and Winnie (Justice) Case:

Census for Henderson County, family #1499.]; [also, the 1850 Census for

Case, born May 18, 1842. (8 in 1850). Married Amanda Newman, died March

County, N.C. From Postmarks, again, we read:
"When the Civil
War started, he went to Tennessee and joined the United States Army. He
served as a private in I Company, 8th Tennessee Cavalry" Later in life
"he was appointed postmaster at Dana when he was 50 years old. He held
office two years and then his son, Jonathan Case, was appointed in his
place. William Case's grandson, Harley Gibbs, lived until his death in
1968, on a portion of the original Case property just west of Refuge on
a piece of road called the Old Dana Road." Had issue:

Case, b. about 1869, who married Julia Waters, d/o Thomas E. and Jane (Mills)
Waters. Lived first in Dana, where he became postmaster for 21 years. At
the same time he started the Ottaray Canning Company at Dana "as one means
of furthering agricultural development in that section of the county, and
for many years his business, which was described as the largest cannery
in the state and one of the largest in the south, was an important factor
for the people in that and nearby communities." He was a member of The
Farmers' Union and helped to secure a County Farm Demonstrator in 1913
- the first in this area. For further details of his business life, see
