History of Livingston County, Michigan, p. 278, entered land in Livingston County in 1838.


pp. 280-281: "'My first impressions then as a stranger were that Hamburg people were mostly Bennetts, Cases, and Halls---,and it seemed to me in about equal proportions.... The Case family was nearly as numerous in Hamburg in those days as the Bennett. Samuel Case, the patriarch, had a large family of sons and daughters. Elisha, Joseph, Rodman, Spaulding, Crandall, Ira, Jonathan, Norman, and Rufus Case at that time were all young or middle aged men. Elisha, Joseph, Rodman, and Crandall were married, and had farms on sections four and five, which they or their children own to day. The Cases were active, thrifty men,---good farmers, mechanics, and business men. I think Spaulding or Ira, or both, kept store at the old homestead. I know there was a Case's store kept there for the country trade, but about that time it was removed to Brighton, where Ira still does business. The Case family had something to say in those days about how matters went in town, for they were active, energetic men, who had their own opinions about matters, and were not at all diffident about expressing them. The father was then an old man, and he has been dead these many years; but the sons, I think, are all living except Spaulding, Joseph, and Norman.'"
