Eleventh Generation

1072. William ALDERMAN Sr.¹¹²⁰ was born about 1640. He died on 1 Aug 1697 in USA, Connecticut, Hartford Co., Farmington. The first ancestor to whom we definitely trace without further research is William Alderman, who was born about 1640 (this date by one other said to have been about 1656), perhaps in Masachusetts or in Windsor, Conn., or he may have been an immiagrant from England. He was known to have been in Windsor in 1672, later removing to Farmington, and still later to Simsbury, Conn., wher he married Mary Case.
William Alderman was already in the midst of business engagements in Simsbury when we first learn of him. The records show that he had business interests in Farmington, Windsor, and Hartford, as well as in Simsbury. He traded in land and was holder of extensive real estate.

William ALDERMAN Sr. and Mary CASE were married in 1679 in USA, Connecticut, Hartford Co., Simsbury.

1073. Mary CASE¹¹²¹ was born on 22 Jun 1660 in USA, Connecticut, Hartford Co., Windsor. She signed a will on 12 Aug 1725 in USA, Connecticut, Hartford Co., Simsbury. Will of Mary Hillyer, Widow, of Simsbury, Conn., August 12, 1725:

"To my three sons, William Alderman, junior, John Alderman, and Joseph Alderman, my lands - two pieces or parcels lying in Simsbury aforesaid. The first is a piece of pine land or plain on the west side of the river, given me by my father, John Case, deceased. The other is five acres of marsh land lying under West Mountain, which fell to me by division of my father's estate. To be equally divided among them.
"All my movable estate, except my wearing apparel, I give to my daughter, Elizabeth (Hillyer).
"And I appoint my well beloved son, John Alderman, my Executor."

Mary Hillyer; L. S.

She died on 22 Aug 1725 in USA, Connecticut, Simsbury. Children were:

	i.	Mary ALDERMAN1122 was born on 22 Sep 1680 in USA, Connecticut, Hartford Co., Simsbury. Mary, the eldest child, was accepted into full communion by the church at Simsbury on December 11, 1698. Nothing further has been learned about her except that the court records show that at the time of the settlement of her father's estate in 1698 she was 17 years of age, but her mother made no mention of her in her will which was dated August 17, 1725. There is neither a church record of her marriage nor a gravestone record of her death.
	ii.	Thomas ALDERMAN Jr.1122 was born on 9 Jun 1683 in USA, Connecticut, Hartford Co., Simsbury. He died on 15 Aug 1715 in USA, New Jersey, Salem Co., Cohansey. Thomas, Jr. went to Long Island, and later to Cohansey, N. J. His son Daniel was the progenitor of the southern branch of the Alderman family. The late Hon. Edwin A. Alderman, a former president of the University of Virginia, was perhaps the outstanding representative of this branch.
	iii.	John ALDERMAN1122 was born in 1684 in USA, Connecticut, Hartford Co., Simsbury. He died on 25 Feb 1758. John Alderman married his cousin, Sarah Case, and they made their home in Windsor. Their descendants have been people of excellent standing and worth. We find them in central New York and in many sections of the west.
536	iv.	William ALDERMAN Jr..
	v.	Sarah ALDERMAN1122 was born in 1691 in USA, Connecticut, Hartford Co., Simsbury. Sarah married Thomas, a son of John Moses, Sr., all of Simsbury, Conn.
	vi.	Joseph ALDERMAN1123 was born on 30 Jun 1697 in USA, Connecticut, Hartford Co., Simsbury. Joseph married Mindwell Case, his cousin, and continued to live in Connecticut where many of their descendants may yet be found. Some removed to New York state, some to Pennsylvania, and others to Ohio, while a few went farther west, perhaps to Michigan.
