Author: mdbosco Surnames: Glaze, Gresham, Parks Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.georgia.counties.lincoln/1211/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hello I am seeking info on my g-grandmother, Susan Glaze (b.1863 - d.1895-1900) oldest child (of 12) of Houston Glaze (1828-1898) & Mary Jane Parks Glaze (1843-1921), married John Kauffman Gresham somewhere around 1880-1881, and had 3 sons (George Houston, Fred Parks, & Otis Quinn). Susan Glaze Gresham had an unmarried sister who survived until approximately 1969, Lavina Glaze. I believe Lavina remained in Lincoln County her entire life. I would also like to get parents/grandparents confirmed (with dates) for Houston Glaze & Mary Jane Parks Glaze (above), and for John Kauffman Gresham. The info I have on John K. Gresham (1854-1907) is even more brief. Possible parents: George Gresham & Nancy S. Gresham. If those are the correct parents, then he had 5 brothers (Rufus, William, Edward, Benjamin, & George) and one sister (Lucy Ann). I know John moved Susan & their sons to Texas in the late 1880s or early 1890s, but by the 1900 Census the sons had been sent back to Lincoln County to live with relatives (but no mention of Susan) while John remained in TX and worked as a laborer, living as a boarder. He is classified as "single" on the 1900 Census. I have been unable to locate any 1890 Census records -- wasn't there one done that year? Do I have any Glaze or Gresham relatives in the Lincoln or Wilkes County areas? Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction!
