JOHN CASE
This early settler came to Tisbury from parts unknown about 1681, as the first knowledge we have of him is found in a town vote on December i6th of that year, when a home lot was granted to him on the north side of New Mill river, adjoining the Chilmark boundary line. His connection with any of the contemporary families of this name in other parts of New England has not been established/ He married, probably after his settlement here. Desire (13) daughter of John Manter, by whom he had eight children of record as shown by his will. His career was uneventful and scarcely any references to him appear in the town or county books. He was undoubtedly a young man, perhaps had just reached his majority when he came to Tisbury, and his death occurred in 1705 or 1706, when he was in the prime of life. His will, dated Feb. 5, 1704-5, was probated February 11, 1706, but the estate was not divided until 1720, when the minor children became of age. The estate was inventoried at £105, and his son William, a weaver by trade, was made administrator in 1719, before the final settlement was effected. Descendants of this son William remained in Tisbury till about 1800, but the name became extinct here after that time.
'There were several Case families in Connecticut and Rhode Island before 1700 and the indications point to the former colony as the early home of our settler. Most
of his children removed there after his death.

From Vol 3:284+
JOHN MANTER, the ancestor of all of the name on the Vineyard and prob. in the United States, has been given a complete biographical sketch in Vol. II, Annals of W.T., pp. 56-8 and nothing has since been found to be added thereto.
This well-known Vineyard family name does not occur in any English records known to the author in the form used here, but Munter, and Mynter and Maunder were in use in England in the 17th century and the last, frequently found in Devonshire, is prob. identical with our Vineyard name as then pronounced. (Walter Mander, mariner, resided in Boston as early as 1689 and d. abt. 1700. He m. Patience Darling, or Dollen, of Monhegan, Me. His wid. became a resident of the Vineyard, but there is no known connection between this transient wid. of Walter Mander and the Manter family of Tisbury. There was also a James Mander of Boston, prob. related to Walter.)
