Charles T. Case married Roberta Staples (1864-1928) on July 10, 1886. She was the daughter of L. Gordon Staples of Greensboro, North Carolina and Adeline A. Ferell (1829-1902) of Covington, Louisiana. The Staples resided at New Orleans and owned property on Fort Point at Ocean Springs. Roberta Case had the following sisters: Lou Staples, May Poitevent (1847-1932), Lillian Ryan, Margaret Lewis, Volumnia H. Davis, and Stella Staples (b. 1871). Her brother was Frederick Staples (1852-1897).

Charles and Roberta Staples Case had three sons: Carl Theodore Case (b. 1888), Gordon Staples Case (b. 1890), and Frederick Staples Case (d. pre-1924).

In October 1896, Charles T. Case died at Nashville, Tennessee where he worked as the private secretary of the Superintendent of the Southern Express Company. His widow, Roberta S. Case, was residing at 1109 Rokeby Place at Nashville, in 1902. She moved to Ocean Springs before 1920, and resided on front beach with her sons, Carl T. Case and Gordon Case, a medical illustrator. Circa 1911, Carl T. Case had married Edwina Lynd (b. 1892) of New Orleans. Her father, Thomas B. Lynd (1862- 1915), was an affluent cotton broker.

In March 1893, Thomas B. Lynd had purchased a 9.67 acre estate on front beach west of the present day Inner Harbor from Caroline Nill. He called it "Lyndhurst". When Lynd's son-in-law, Carl T. Case, resided here, it was known as "Case Villa". The Lynd-Case home burned in 1922, when owned by the Parlin family. Alice Austin Martin and spouse, Gay Marton, resides on the site today.
