HENRY CASE, supposed by Moore, p. 11, to have been the son of William of Rhode Island, is first mentioned in Southold, L. I., when he married the last week in November, 1658, Martha, daughter of Matthias Curwin. (Southold Town Records, Vol. 1, p. 464.) On December 15, 1658, the town granted him a home lot of four acres at the east end of the Town Street. The compiler of the Town Records states "it is doubtful if he ever occupied that lot as on April 14, 1659, only four months later, he purchased a dwelling-house, barn and home lot of Thomas Mapes at the west end of the Town Street and here he probably died." (Southold Town Records, Vol. 1, pp. 74, 75.) He died in 1664 and his widow, Martha, married second, Thomas Hutchinson, and was again a widow in 1676 as per the following, taken from Southold Town Records, Vol. 2, pp. 244-5: "I, Martha Hutchinson of Southold, widow, being empowered by the Court of Sessions held at Southampton, November 16, 1665, to take administration of the estate of my first husband, Henry Case, who died intestate; and also being admitted by the Court of Sessions held at Southampton, 7th, 8th, and 9th days of March, 1676, to be sole executrix of the estate of my second husband, Mr. Thomas Hutchinson, who also died intestate, and allowed to take administration of said estate and empowered to dispose of same or any part thereof, &c." "Therefore, I, the above said Martha Hutchinson, do give my eldest son, Henry Case, his full portion," land in Southold, old field, Acquabauk, home lot, at her decease, where she is living, &c. Confirmed June 14, 1681. When she died has not been found. Thomas Hutchinson died in 1676, aged 83 years, per Corwin Genealogy, p. 148. Issue : (Case) Henry, Theophilus.
