CASE, son of Philetus and Lucinda Case, was born in North Canton, Hartford Co., Conn., June 9,1805. His father was a native of Simsbury, Conn.; he was the son of Amasa Case, Jr., who was the son of Amasa Case, Sr., who wa? a native of Scotland. It is related that three brothers came from Scotland and settled in New England. One of these was named Amasa, from where Jarvis P. came. The parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents of Jarvis P. lived and died in Connecticut. Philetus was a farmer by occu- pation. He and his wife were members of the Episcopal Church. They reared a family of nine children, of whom Jarvis P. was the eldest. He was a respected citizen. Jarvis P. remained at home on his father's farm until he was twenty-four years of age, when he left home and was engaged for a few years as agent for the sale of clocks. In 1829 he settled in Bans- ville, Livingston Co., N. Y., where he met his wife, Mrs. Alpheus Stout, formerly Loretta Wyatt, June 1, 1836. She was born April .S, 1804, in Seneca Co., N. Y., and settled in Dansville in 1808 or 1809, with her parents. Of this union three children were born, viz.: Lucinda C. apd Henry P., died while very young', and Henry Seymour, was born Jan. 16, 1844, and died April 18, 1857, and was buried in the cemetery at Burns. Mr. Case was living at Dansville while engaged in the sale of clocks; he, however, sold his interest, and in 1832 or 1833 bought a farm of one hundred acres, on Oak Hill, town of Dansville. He has owned some four different farms within sight of where they now reside. Mr. Case has been successful in his business relations, but he will be known by future generations, and re- membered by his neighbors, not by the number of acres he has owned,
