- From Barry Wetherington:
Gasham CASE
BIRTH: The "LDS Collectors Library: Early LDS Membership Data" CD-ROM, 1995 Infobases Inc., lists Gasham's name three ways: Goshen CASE, Gashum C. CASE, or Gershon C. CASE. It gives his birth 16 Mar 1915 (sic, 1815?) or March 1918 in Colbrain, Hamilton, OH. It gives the source as "Early Church File". It refers to an 1851 Utah Federal Census (which I have not yet seen) as the source for Jacob CASE being Gasham's father.
MARRIAGE: Married in 1834 Cincinnati, Hamilton, Ohio, to Susan FITCHETT. But they were also married 7 September 1851 Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah. They were probably remarried as Mormons, or this was some kind of Mormon sealing ceremony.
BIOGRAPHY: From ONE OF SAN BERNARDINO'S OLDEST AND LARGEST FAMILIES: THE CASE FAMILY, "Gashum C. Case was born near West Cincinnatti, Hamilton County, Ohio, March 16, 1815. He was the son of Jacob and Elizabeth Case, and married Miss Susan Fitchett near Cincinnatti,Ohio, 1834. Miss Fitchett was born in Walnut Landing, Dorchester County, Maryland on May 11, 1817, and was the daughter of John and Esther Fitchett. Shortly after their marriage, they moved to West Quincy, Adams County, Illinois, and then to Perry, Pike County, Illinois...."
MOVE: Susan BEATTIE, of St. Louis, MO, wrote in a 14 Feb 1997 e-mail, "My best guess is a good chunk of the family moved from Cincinnati to Adams County either en masse or in rapid succession in the 1830's -- I know that Sarah Bell and James McNUTT arrived in 1834. Since the present day McNUTT's lineage is full of both LDS and RLDS notables, I'm sure they would know if Sarah and any of her sibs had been early converts and would have mentioned it. Sounds to me like they came out like a lot of other folks because the land was cheap and productive, and at least Gasham CASE and Levi JONES joined the church in the period between Far West and Nauvoo, when several thousand Mormons were given refuge in and around Quincy."
COURT: In the early 1840s, G. CASE and Susan Jane CASE were witnesses in acourt case at Quincy, Adams County, IL. (info from Susan BEATTIE, of St. Louis, MO).
RESIDENCE: The "LDS Collectors Library: Early LDS Membership Data" CD-ROM, 1995 Infobases Inc., has a comment saying, "Goshan was on the Nauvoo membership list", according to "Nauvoo: Early Mormon ... Series, 1839-1846", by Lyman PLATT, 1980. Another source listed was "Nauvoo Social History Project", by James SMITH.
BIOGRAPHY: From the San Bernardino Sun, 1938, COVERED WAGON FAMILIES: GASHUM CASE FAMILY ONE OF EARLY DAY MORMON SETTLERS -- PIONEERS STAYED IN VALLEY AS CHURCH ISSUED RECALL, "In 1841, Mr. and Mrs. CASE became members of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints. When the Saints were forced to vacate their homes in Illinois in 1846, the CASE family located with the exiled Saints at Winter Quarters, where they remained until 1849, when the group crossed the plains. /// Mr. CASE was captain of 10 wagons in an ox train led by Capt. George A. SMITH. This company left Winter Quarters, on the bank of the Missouri river, July 4, 1849, and arrived in Salt Lake valley on Oct. 27, of the same year. Only the most capable and trustworthy men were placed as captains, as they were responsible at all times for wagons placed in their care. "
BIOGRAPHY: From the San Bernardino Sun, 1938, COVERED WAGON FAMILIES: GASHUM CASE FAMILY ONE OF EARLY DAY MORMON SETTLERS -- PIONEERS STAYED IN VALLEY AS CHURCH ISSUED RECALL, "Gashum CASE spent two years working on the tabernacle at Salt Lake and contributed $20,000 toward the expense."
CENSUS: 1850 U.C. Census (Utah County, Utah). Gershon C. CASE, 36y, born OH, cooper, $400.
Susan, 34y, born MD. Children listed: John (16y, born OH), Melinda (14, IL), James (11), Elizabeth (8), William (6), Mary J. (4), and Alice CASE (2, IA). Also with the family was Willis MORSE, 20y, laborer, born NY; and Andrew KELLEY, 25y, laborer, born Ireland.
BIOGRAPHY: From ONE OF SAN BERNARDINO'S OLDEST AND LARGEST FAMILIES: THE CASE FAMILY, "On April 24, 1853 at the little settlement of Palmyra, Utah, Mr. Case was married to Samanthy Wells who was born in Morgan County, Illinois, January 18, 1836. In 1854 [1852, according to COVERED WAGON FAMILIES], Mr. Case and other Saints were transferred to San Bernardino. For several years he hauled freight between Utah and San Bernardino...."
BIOGRAPHY: From the National Daughters of the Golden West, info from a Gladys Case BAKER, graddaughter of Gasham, "[Gasham] was the Captain of the wagon train which crossed the plains in 1854 at which time Mrs. Van Leuven was deprived of her clothes by the Indians. Made several trips to Salt Lake hauling freight. Was famous for the art of preserving meats and vegetables and making sourkrout and pickles. In emergency cases presided in the absenceof an M.D."
BIOGRAPHY: From ONE OF SAN BERNARDINO'S OLDEST AND LARGEST FAMILIES: THE CASE FAMILY, "In 1858 the Saints, who were located in San Bernardino, were instructed to return to Utah and the settlement of San Bernardino as a Mormon town was vacated. Most of the faithful Saints obeyed the instruction received, and at the close of 1858 very few members of the church remained in San Bernardino; The Case family did not return to Utah. Mrs. Samanthy Case passed away at Peetneck, now Payson, Utah, on March 9, 1860, leaving three children; one baby boy only a few days old. The interment was at Stewart Plot, Payson Cemetery, Payson, Utah...."
CENSUS: 1860 U.S. Census (San Salvador, San Bernardino, California). Gersham C. CASE, 46y, teamster, $150 real estate, $360 personal estate. His wife Susan, 45y. Children listed: James (20y, born in IL), William W. (15 IL), Mary Jane (13 IL), Alice (11 IA), Marion (5 CA), Laura (5), Adelbert (3), Susan M. (2), and Gersham E. CASE (1).
CENSUS: 1870 U.S. Census (San Bernardino County, California. page 425). Gracham CASE is 63y, born in OH, farmer, $600 real estate, $400 personal estate. His wife Susan is 53y, born in MD. Children listed: Delbert, Grachum, Susan, William, Rosel, Worthelle, and Harriet CASE, all born CA, all "at home" except for William, Rosel, Worthelle, and Harriet who are "attending school" too.
FAMILY: From the 1870 census one would assume these last four children to be Gasham's children. But, all other sources only list nine children of Susan FITCHETT's and three children of Samantha WELLS.
These children – William (b. 1860 CA), Rosel (b. 1862 CA), Worthelle (b. 1863 CA), and Harriet CASE (b. 1865 CA) -- fit in their ages as if they were the next younger siblings (Susan CASE, the last child listed known definitely to be a child of Gasham's, was 12 years old in 1870, while William CASE, the first unknown, was 10 years old). But, Gasham already had a child named William W. CASE who was 16 years old (though living elsewhere?) Who are these children? Gasham is listed as living right next door to his son James CASE. Other family members live nearby.
CENSUS: 1880 U.S. Census (San Bernardino, San Bernardino, California. Vol.8, E.D. 63B, Sheet 22,
Line 1). G.C. CASE, 75y, born OH, parents born NJ. His wife Susan, 63y, born MD, father born England, mother born MD. Child listed: William W. CASE, 36y, born IL, widowed, unemployed laborer.
BIOGRAPHY: From the San Bernardino Sun, 1938, COVERED WAGON FAMILIES: GASHUM CASE FAMILY ONE OF EARLY DAY MORMON SETTLERS -- PIONEERS STAYED IN VALLEY AS CHURCH ISSUED RECALL, "Gashum CASE at one time owned 12 acres of land at
Gilbert street and Waterman avenue. He traded the property to Alexander KEIR for a grey horse and an adjoining 12 acres was traded for a span of mules."
BIOGRAPHY: From ONE OF SAN BERNARDINO'S OLDEST AND LARGEST FAMILIES: THE CASE FAMILY, "Mr. Case was a cooper by trade and although he had never studied medicine, he was often called to aid the sick. During his last illness, he would try to rise from bed to suggest remedies for those who were ill. He was a friend to all. He passed away at the old family home at Eighth and H streets, San Bernardino, on October 20, 1885. Interment was at Pioneer Cemetery, San Bernardino...."
Susan Catherine FITCHETT
LEGEND: The family legend that came down through my line told that Susan FITCHETT's father was the governor of Maryland. The story that came down through the line of cousin Bayford BUTLER said that her father was a minister in the Episcopalian Church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. John FITCHETT is on the 1820 U.S. Census (Dorchester County, Maryland, page 57), where he is listed as being in Commerce.
LEGEND: My grandmother (Frances CASTELHUN TRIMBLE) wrote in her notes on the family that Gasham and Susan's names were on plaques in Salt Lake City since they were founders of the city. On my trip to Salt Lake in Summer 1994 I tried to find this plaque, but no luck. The legend probably comes from that fact that James CASE is on a plaque. His name is listed on the Brigham Young Memorial which is located in the middle of the street between Temple Square and the old Hotel Utah. James CASE, son of Joseph CASE and Lydia MILLS, grandson of Asahel CASE and Dorothy PHELPS, as far as I can ascertain, was no relation of Gasham Case CASE.
BIOGRAPHY: From the National Daughters of the Golden West, unknown informant, "Grandma [Susan Fitchett] Case as she was lovingly called by all of her descendents was honored by all who knew her, for her kindness and goodness and mothering of all who came within her door."
BIOGRAPHY: From ONE OF SAN BERNARDINO'S OLDEST AND LARGEST FAMILIES: THE CASE FAMILY, "Mrs. Susan Case was the mother of nine children, and after the death of Mrs. Samanthy Case, she brought her three little children into the home and cared for them as if they were her own. After the passing of Mr. Case, she made her home with a son at Willows, California, where she passed away in the early part of 1898. Interment was at the Masonic Cemetery, Willows, California.
[Gasham Case] has many descendents, and with the exception of a few, all are living in California."
BURIAL: Susan Fitchett CASE is buried at the masonic Willows Cemetery, Glenn County, CA. Grave F, West 1/2 of Block 70. The gravestone says "Pioneer Mother". It appears that Marion CASE lived at 305 Ivy Street, Chico, when he bought that lot in the late 1890s, but the address might have been from when it was sold 20-30 years later. A genealogist who once corresponded with the office was a Barbara DUNN, 3820 3rd Avenue #1, San Diego, CA 92103.
OBITUARY: From the Willows Promoter, "Death of an Aged Lady. Susan M. Case, died at the home of her son, M. Case, this morning. She had been ill but a few days and bore up with remarkable fortitude to the end. Mrs. Case was one of the early settlers of California having arrived here in 1849 from Maryland in which State she was born. She was nearly eighty-one years of age. The funeral takes place tomorrow afternoon."
OBITUARY: From Saturday, 12 Feb 1898, in the Willows Promoter, "Yesterday morning at the residence of her son in this city Mrs. Susan C. Case passed from this life at the ripe old age of 80 yrs. Deceased had only been ill a couple of days and on the morning of her demise awoke and was quite cheerful. An hour later she was a corpse. Mrs. Susan C. Case was a native of Maryland, age 80 yrs. and 9 mos. She came to Calif. with her two sons in May 1854 and settled in San Bernardino Co. where she resided almost continuously for the past 40 yrs. About five mos. ago she came here on a visit to her son Marion Case and up to within a few days has been in best of health. The funeral will take place from the Case residence on Shasta Street this afternoon at 3 PM."
OBITUARY: From the Willows Promoter a few days later, "Card Of Thanks. We take this method of thanking those friends who so nobly came to our assistance and extended their sympathies during the illness and death of our mother, Mrs. Susan C. Case. Although almost strangers in Willows the aid and sympathy lent us in our sad affliction by those kind friends makes us feel that at least an expression of
appreciation is due them. Mr. & Mrs. M.M. Case."
RESEARCH: The cemetery office in Willows is interested in updates on Susan FITCHETT's ancestry so they can update their genealogy file. Their address is: Willows Cemetery District, attn: Raymond Mertle, Rt. 1, Box 69, Willows, CA, 95988.
