I show the children of William Anderson Glasscock & Lavinia Blankenship as: Martha b. abt 1849 Matilda b. abt 1850 m. ( ? ) Tardy Lowery b. abt 1853 m. Sallie Collum Nancy b. abt 1856 m. Charles C. Ray James M. b. abt 1858 m. Mallissa BLANKENSHIP (dau of Jasper Newton Blankenship and Elizabeth Rachel Littlejohn) Zilphia b. abt 1863 m. Columbus Martin William H. b. abt 1865 m. Sally Ellison Georgian b. abt 1867 Thomas b. abt 1873 I have not personally researched any of the children except James M. Wm. Anderson Glasscock was listed as 'insolvent' on the 1850 Shelby Co. and on the 1851 Talladega Co. Tax Lists. Here are some tidbits which I hope someone can elaborate upon: In a Civil War letter from W.M. Glasscock (presumed nephew of Wm. Anderson) it states that "Uncle Anderson had started home but took sick, was captured by the (confederate) cavalry, returned, and was presently under guard." In one of Martha's pension applications (Wm. Anderson's 2nd wife) it also implies that Wm. A. deserted but his service records do not indicate it. Wm. Anderson married Martha Porter in Aug. 1881. I have also seen where Thomas Glasscock (Wm. A.'s father) had married Martha Porter's mother. The Chilton Co. newspaper on 25 Oct. 1883 reported that Wm. Anderson Glasscock had shot a George Thrash a few miles east of Jemison. Mr. Thrash had been driving a wagon pulled by a team of oxen along a public road past his neighbor's (Wm. A.) house when he was shot in the head. He fell unconscious to the floor of the wagon which continued on down the road. Riding in the wagon with him were his two very young girls. A George Thrash had married Wm. A.'s niece (Ann). Mr.Thrash did recover from his wound but I have failed to find any record of Wm. A. being arrested or charged with a crime. Any comments appreciated.
