(Charles Case) Charles, the third son of John, was born in his father's home at Terry's Plain in Simsbury. He lived an dworked all his life in Simsbury except for some time spent away on military duty."

"Charles apparently served in military action during the French and Indian War which broke out in 1756 and acheived the rank of Captain."

"It is possible that Charles served in the Revolutinary War, although there is no clear verification of his participation and no record that he made an application for a veteran's pension. This, however, is not proof that he did not serve, since a majority of the people at Simsbury, including both veterans and civilians, were opposed to any pensions or other rewards for service in the war."

Despite owning much real property during his lifetime, "Charles was eighty years old in 1803 and apparently destitute. He died on October 17, 1808, at the age of eighty-five and, as far as is kkown, he left no will or inventory of personal property. He apparently had already given his home lot to his son, shubael, with whom he had lived druing the last years of his life."

"Charles lived a long life and he saw many momentous changes both inSimsbury and in the nation. He witnessed the defeat of the French in Canada and the removal of that trheat from the north. He also saw the separation of the colonies from England and the birth of a new nation. He was middle-aged when the industrial revolution began, but lived to hear about the first steam engines and the successful voyage of the first steamboat on the Connecticut River. He probably knew of John Fitch, born in East Windsor, fifteen miles east of simsbury, who conducted the first successful steam-powered voyage on August 22, 1787. Charles was still alive in 1807 when Fulton made his memorial run up the Hudson river. he may also have known of Eli Whitney, living a few miles away, who constructed the first cotton gin in 1793."

"Close at home, the area near Salmon Brook and Turkey Hill in the northern part of town became the separate community of Granby. In 1798, he also saw the first mail route established between Hartford and Simsbury."
