All information helps. Thank you Grant

Dear Ro, Very interesting! Renselaer Case was a merchant, I find in Smith's History after reading your reply. My ancestor was Renselaer Case Worden b. 1841, and he lived in Milan. His father was Samuel Montross Worden. Do any of these names mean anything to you? Do you have any idea why my ancestor would have been named for this Renselaer Case? Thanks!
