Hi list members, Allan from Scotland has made a suggestion which I would like to see followed up on the list and that is, have we any famous Glass's out there. If a member of your family has received notoriety perhaps you would like to tell other list members about it. You may wish also, to tell us about family members that have received their notoriety from "Black Sheep" type deeds. Any other suggestions that will help to keep the list humming along would be appreciated. Remember it is your list and there are over 100 Glass researchers waiting to hear what you have to say. "A stepping stone is often mistaken for a stumbling block" Happy hunting, Bruce Glass, List Master.

Hi Bruce - Thought I'd take your advice and call attention to the more recent decedants of SUSAN ELIZABETH GLASS in the hope of finding some real life flesh and blood distant cousins. Susan is a fourth generation descendant of SAMUEL GLASS [BORN C.1685 in Ireland] and MARY GAMBLE [also born in Ireland] who settled in Opequon, Frederick County, Virginia about 1735 and built "Greenwood." Mag Seiley and Dan Nelson [members of this list] belong to this family although they are not descended from Susan. Susan was born about 1815 at "Greenwood" and married JAMES CARR BAKER. They both lived at "Greenwood," along with four of Susan's unmarried sisters, until their deaths. A full listing of this Glass family can be found on my web page at http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Olympus/9201 When you get to my web page, scroll down and click on "SURNAMES." Then scroll down and click of "Glass". Have fun investigating the Glass family, but do scroll down to "G676 Susan Elizabeth Glass . . ." and click on "Defender." This will take you to the descendants of Susan Elizabeth Glass and James Carr Baker. I would really like to hear from anyone who belongs to the families descending from them. I would also appreciate information from other members of the clan of Samuel Glass and Mary Gamble that will help bring those branches up to date. I can be reached either through this Glass List or directly by e-mail at rland@coastalnet.com Thanks for all the work you are doing. Dick Landis

Deanna: Bruce Glass posted the following message regarding GLASS and LESTER on the GLASS-L list: I am researching my family's history. My great great great grandfather's name was James Glass born around 1780 somewhere in NC. I have no information on his parents, but do know that he had two brothers George and Napoleon Bonaparte. They can to KY via Tn before 1820. James married Sarah Lester in TN and napoleon married Desmondy Woolf. Please let me know if you are researching the same family Thanks Deanna Glass-Gardner yoda69@midwest.net I am not sure if I can make a connection for you yet, but your mention of LESTER and GLASS in KY is of some interest to me. Please let me know if any of the LESTERs of Trigg Co., KY are related to yours. I don't know the maiden name for the wife of William LESTER, Sr. in the 1850 census of Trigg Co., KY. A William LESTER is on the voting rolls in Trigg Co., KY as early as 1841. 1850 - Schedule I.

This ARNOLD was a GLASS on his mother's side. My GLASSes and ARNOLDs were in the Henry & Halifax Co., VA area ca. 1780 - 1820 (along the state line of NC). My GLASSes (Benjamin GLASS family) were in Barren Co., KY by the 1830 census. My ARNOLDs went from VA to Knox Co., TN where the older children married. The ARNOLDs then packed up and moved to Barren Co., KY in 1835 and lived next to the GLASSes. The ARNOLDs and GLASSes of Barren Co., KY intermarried there. Three ARNOLD sons and three GLASS sisters and their husbands, which included two PAYNE brothers, moved from Barren Co., KY to Hunt Co., TX by 1860. Please let me know if you can make a connection to these families. Jim Sims Fort Worth, TX jimsims@safety.hsc.unt.edu

Hi Bruce, Since I know you are looking for New Brunswick connections as am I, I am forwarding this info which I received today from James Williams of Las Vegas. He feels that he and I have a connection here, but I'm not at all convinced as of now. GEN I -- John Glass b Scotland 1800-1810 est. + Rebecca Simpson b. England same date span 1. - Mary Ann Glass b. 6 June 1836 in Ireland, d. 29 August 1907 in Reno Nevada. GEN II -- Mary Ann Glass (see above) married Dennis Short in March 1855 in St. Andrews, New Brunswick. 1. - Daniel Edmund Short bapt. January 1858 at age 10 days in St. Andrews RC church - New Brunswick. 2. - John S. Short b. 17 August 1860 in St. Andrews, d 3 December 1937 in Reno, Nevada. + Metta Kirstine Johnson, 8 April 1893 in Wadsworth NV 3. - Edward D. Short b 1862 in Maine 4. - Charles T. Short b. 1864 in Maine 5. - Will A. Short b. 1866 in Maine 6. - Harry Short b. 1868 in Maine 7. - Frances Shsort b 1870 in Maine According to the obit that James Williams sent me, Mary Ann Glass had 8 children so someone is missing here. Perhaps a child died before reaching maturity. The children all emigrated to either Nevada or California. From his info, it seems as if several of them were miners. All church information which is from Mr. Williams is listed as Episcopal. I don't think they are connected to "my" John Glass unless the John Glass here in GEN I is a cousin. This may be a piece to someone's puzzle. Jane Baier -- MJBAIER@aol.com

Here's a re-post of my earlier information. Searching for Minnie A. GLASS. Have very little information to go on but here goes: My grandmnother was Minnie (Minerva) M. ADAMS. Her birth certificate lists Minnie A. GLASS as her mother.. Minnie ADAMS was born February 26, 1894 in Niagara Falls, NY. According to the birth certificate Minnie GLASS was 21 years old at the time and was born in Ireland. I'm searching for her parents. i think they may have been from Canada - (Parry Sound - about 2 hours north of Toronto, although may also have been from western NY. I've recently received information that Minnie GLASS may have died in Manchester, NY is 1895. Her husband was Enoch George ADAMS (aka as George Enoch) Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Bruce: I am heeding your advice. I hope someone will eventually provide me with some possible clues about Elisha (Elias, E.W. Glass) who was born about 1824. [Today our Glass mailing list broke the ton (100). We now have 104 members all with an interest in the Glass name. Obviously some of these new members do not know anything of the research of some of the earlier list members. If you wish them to know who or where you are researching you will need to re-post your information.] I have had no luck in finding the ancestry of Elisha (Elias, E.W.) Glass who came to California 1849/50 and died in Diamond Springs, El Dorado Co., CA in 1853. Supposedly he came from TN or KY. Surely someone has a missing several times great uncle who left to make his fortune and never came back. (He married and had a daughter in California - there is no evidence that he made his fortune.) His daughter was my great-grandmother. She married Henry Clay Holloway and they lived in Gilroy, Santa Clara Co., CA. He was called Elisha in family records; E.W. on his marriage record; Elias in the probate records. _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

Good morning everyone. I would like to hear from any list members that have established Scottish connections. I have spent the last few weeks tidying up a lot of accumulated data into searchable databases. If you have known Scottish connections then please send me ALL that you have on your family and I shall see if I can help you extend your family. Some of you may have already sent me data by E-Mail before, however I would ask you to send it to me again. I shall print off each E-Mail on the subject and put them in a seperate file. If you have quite large Scottish family you can send it as a Gedcom attachment. It would be more helpful to send ALL of your Scottish ancestry than just a small part of the top (oldest) part as it may be that I have data on persons in your tree further down from the top. My Scottish ancestry has at times been involved with the following areas of Scotland. Glen Muick/Crathie & Braemar/Birse in Aberdeenshire, Fordoun/Auchenblae/Laurencekirk/Fettercairn in Kincardineshire, Arbroath/St Vigean's in Perthshire, Cramond/Liberton/Kirkliston in Edinburgh. It is quite likely that parts of the family can be found in other areas of Scotland. I also have family connections to New Brunswick/Montreal/Vancouver in Canada, California in the USA and New South Wales/Queensland in Australia. If I can help some of you Scottish researchers, I may end up helping myself. Isn't that what genealogy is all about? >From a wet but warm (18 deg C.) day here in New Zealand, have a great weekend, and best regards to you all, Bruce Glass.

The following information was copied from the Cumberland List, and may be of use during your research. Here is a list of traditional naming patterns in Cumberland and the Borders area of Scotland. It may be accurate for other parts of the country, but I haven't studied those. I have been able to establish pedigrees by tracing the way in which our families named their children after their ancestors. Traditional naming patterns 1st son----------father's father 2nd son---------mother's father 3rd son---------father 4th son---------father's oldest brother 5th son---------father's 2nd oldest brother or mother's oldest brother 1st dau---------mother's mother 2nd dau--------father's mother 3rd dau---------mother 4th dau-------- mother's oldest sister 5th dau---------mother's second oldest sister or father's oldest sister Best Regards, Bruce Glass, List Master.

Bruce Thought I would let everyone know where Luscar is, in Edna Bell's Item on Friday, it is an estate in the Parish of Carnock, Fife, near Dunfermline, also thanks to the IGI, I note that Joseph Strachan married Elizabeth Glass on the 4th March 1744 in Edinburgh, I also see that there is a # mark next to it meaning there is more information on the OPR, but of couse you may already know that. I hope that the information is of some use , from a sunny but cold Invercargill, the southernmost city in the world, in the very south of New Zealand. George

Subject: GLASS Date: Sun, 26 Jul 1998 17:25:49 -0700 (PDT) From: Jim Merrit <jimerit@netfeed.com> To: glass-l@rootsweb.com Yes, I'll subscribe. My Gr Grandfather was Nicholas Glass, b. Frankfurt Germany. Came to America shortly after 1841, settled in Quincy, Il. Brothers were Simon, Jacob and John.

>From Dan Nelson, Highland Village, TX I very much appreciate your sharing of the Glass info on your list. I don't know if Mag Seiley ever sent you her heritage, my wife and her are distant cousins. GLASS The information on this family came from Marjorie Diebel of Cincinnati, Ohio, "Glass, Vance, Hoge, and White" by Dr. William Foot, and "Shenandoah Valley Pioneers and Their Descendants" by T.K. Cartmell. #864 SAMUEL GLASS He married Mary Gamble, a sister of the Major Robert Gamble who settled in Augusta County, Virginia. She also had two brothers that were lost in the Siege of Derry. They had six children. In his old age with his wife, children, and grandchildren he immigrated from a residence near Banbridge, County Down, Province of Ulster, Ireland, in about the year 1735 to America. They landed on the banks of the Delaware River in Pennsylvania. They moved to land in Chester Co, but had to give it up when the original Quaker owners returned. About 1736 they moved to the Joist Hite settlement in the Opeckon Creek area in the Shenandoah Valley, near Kernstown in Orange (now Frederick) Co., Virginia. Their home was at the head of the Opeckon, where it embraced the principal springs that formed a stream of sufficient power to run his mill. He purchased 1600 acres of land that year from Joist Hite and Lord Fairfax whose grants were divided along the Opeckon. Three estates were settled by the families, "Greenwood,""Long Meadows," and "Rose Hill." As of 1926 the latter two were still in the hands of family. Samuel and Mary lived at "Greenwood" where they built a large log building for their residence. The house was covered with wide planks nailed with nails made by the families negro slaves. They were both, very religious, both being dedicated Presbyterians. They are both buried in the Opeckon Church Graveyard. They were neighbors to Joseph Colville (see Colville family), John Wilson (see Marquis family), and James Vance (see Vance family). Samuel and Mary's children (all born in Ireland): 1. John married a Ms. Becket, they lived in Augusta Co., Virginia. 2. Eliza married James Vance, they lived in Frederick Co. 3. Sarah married John Becket, they lived in Frederick Co. 4. David married a Ms. Fulton, they lived at Cherry Mead, in Frederick Co. 5. Robert, see below. 6. Joseph married Eliza Wilson, inherited his fathers property and lived there in Frederick Co., he died June 12, 1794. #432 ROBERT GLASS Samuel and Mary's son Robert was born at Banbridge, County Down in Ireland in 1716. He married Sarah Fulton, the daughter of Mary Fulton who died in Frederick 1770/1771. Sarah had four siblings, including Samuel and Elizabeth. Robert and Sarah had thirteen children. He purchased 900 acres of very fertile land in the Opeckon Valley in Frederick. They called it Long Meadows. His house was a fort during Braddock's War, but they were not troubled by Indians. He was commissioned by the county courtto summon Minute Men to help in fortifying against the Indians, The home had never passed out of the possession of the Glass family, until it was destroyed by fire in 1916. He owned 544 acres at the time of his death. He is listed on the 1759 and 1764 Frederick tax lists. He died in Frederick in 1796 at the age of 80. Robert and Sarah's children: 1. Samuel, see below. 2. Mary married her cousin James David Vance, they lived near Kerntown, she later moved to Middletown, Kentucky. 3. Elizabeth married John Cummins, they moved to Illinois. 4. Sarah never married, she lived in Kentucky. 5. Susan never married and lived at home, where she died at an advanced age. 6. Martha married June 22, 1785, Henry Sherrard, they lived in Frederick Co., he treated her unkindly, so she left him. 7. Ann married August 18, 1791, her widowed cousin, William Vance, she married second Robert Gray, they lived in Winchester, she died in 1846. 8. Ruth married October 1, 1798, James Vance, they moved to Kentucky. 9. Margaret married Thomas White, they moved to Kentucky. 10. (Major) Robert David was born December 12, 1771, he married December 24, 1805, Elizabeth Rust, they lived on the old homestead, she died September 30, 1839, he died December 12, 1844 and is buried at Opeckon22 Washington Co., Pa Cemeteries . 11.

Joseph married a Ms. White, they moved to Middletown, Kentucky, he was a physician. #216 SAMUEL GLASS Robert and Sarah's son Samuel was born in Frederick Co., Virginia around 1741. He married Elizabeth Rutherford (see Rutherford family). They had seven children. He inherited his father's home tract of 200 acres known as "Long Meadow." They ended up living at "Rose Hill." He was a sergeant in Lord Dunmore's War and was in the battle of Point Pleasant in 1774, in the company of Captain John Lewis. He rose to the rank of Captain. He is listed in the 1782 and 1810 Frederick Co. census'. In the 1810 census they were listed as owning three slaves. He must have died by 1820 as she is listed in the census living as a widow with the three youngest children. He died intestate. She died between 1819 and 1822 in Frederick. They were both buried at Opeckon. Samuel and Elizabeth's children: 1. Samuel. 2. Sarah. 3. Benjamin, see below. 4. Robert. 5. Thomas was born in 1792, he married December 17, 1832, Catherine Wood , they lived in Glen Burnie, Virginia, he died in 1862. 6. Elizabeth died around 1845. 7. James. #108 BENJAMIN GLASS Samuel and Elizabeth's son Benjamin was born on July 6, 1780, in Frederick Co., Virginia. On December 30, 1818, he married in Frederick, Susan Wood (see Wood family). This would have made her 29 and him 38, an old maid and bachelor. They had five children. They were slaveholders in Virginia. They must have had an interesting marriage as her family was strongly Quaker, yet he came from Presbyterian roots, and as a slaveholder must not have converted to being Quaker. Their children appeared to have not been raised as Quakers, yet they retained close ties to the Quaker community, as they noted the families move in their meeting records. He may have even converted at some point. In 1832 they moved from the Hopewell Friends Meeting in Frederick to the Center Friends Meeting in Clinton Co., Ohio. The family moved with a party of 132 people including her parents and her brother-in-law Christopher Probasco. They traveled by wagon train, the trip taking nineteen days. They arrived the evening before the presidential election that gave Andrew Jackson his second term. They settled two miles east of Wilmington in Clinton Co. near her parents on what was known as the William Sherman farm. He died in Clinton on October 22, 1848, at age 68. She is listed in the 1850 census as living with her son Thomas, and being worth $2800. She died there in Wilmington on May 26, 1860, at the age of 70. She is buried in the Sugar Grove Cemetery in Wilmington. He is buried in the Gaddis Cemetery in Wilmington. Benjamin and Susan's children: 1. John W. was born November 16, 1819, he married June 22, 1843, Catherine Wilson, they lived east of Wilmington, he died February 7, 1868. 2. Samuel Robert, see below. 3. Lydia married November 10, 1839, Rice Rannels, she married second Hughes Crawford, they lived in New Antioch, Ohio, she died December 16, 1843. 4. Isaac married Nancy Bennett. 5. Thomas Benjamin was born in 1831, he married March 6, 1855, Mary Applegate, they lived in Columbus, Ohio, he died August 17, 18981. Lucy Franklin Harvey left to Keith Harvey with a family heirloom (a snuffbox) that mentions the Haworths, Hadleys and Woods as being the fifth great grandparents of Keith Harvey (son of Bruce Byron Harvey, see Harvey family). That generation would consist of George Haworth, Edith Hadley, and Susan Wood. The note mentions that the snuff box was brought over on a ship around 1776. All of the families were already here at that point. Of course they may have traveled back to visit. My guess is that the box is much older or was purchased in America, but may have come from England. #54 SAMUEL ROBERT GLASS Benjamin and Susan's son Samuel was born on January 20, 1821, in Virginia (most likely Frederick Co.). He married on August 7, 1844, Mary Haworth (see Haworth family). She was disowned for marrying out of the Quaker faith, therefore like his father he had retained his Presbyterian faith. By 1870 he must have changed faiths, as they were both accepted into the Wilmington Meeting, Clinton Co., Ohio. There is a story in the family that this wasn't a good marital arrangement, maybe it was the religious strain. In 1850 he was a Clinton Co., Ohio farmer worth $3200. They lived northeast of Wilmington, on 262 acres, next to the Cincinnati and Muskingum Valley Railway. He also owned land south of Wilmington. As of 1860 he was worth $11,700. As of 1870 he was worth $43,000. They had two servants living in the house. At the time of the great revival in 1870 they both joined the Friends church and from that time on were active members. Mary died in Clinton on October 9, 1883, at the age of 59 Clinton Co. cemeteries. She was buried October 11th. He was always known as being kindly and genial. He was especially fond of little children. During a rainstorm he became soaked while driving a herd of hogs into the train station in town. He contracted pneumonia and died very suddenly on November 4, 1893, at the age of 721. He was buried November 6, 1893. This was surprising as he had never been sick before. They are buried in the Sugar Grove Cemetery in Wilmington. I have the original family records pages from their family bible. I have a note written by his granddaughter Mary as a child that says the following: "My Dear Grand-papa -How many big men wanted your pigs. Have you sold your pigs. Kiss. I have the sorethroat and I felt my tongue and they was a lot of little hill(s) on it when I got up this morning from Mary" Samuel and Mary's children: 1. George Dillon Haworth was born January 2, 1846, he married on November 2, 1869, Brazilla Mills, had issue, she died of consumption on August 18, 1875, he married second on October 18, 1876, Martha Mattie Curl, she died shortly after childbirth on February 15, 1878, he married third on February 11, 1880, the widow Alice Mc Whorter Dunn, he moved in 1885 to Pratt Co., Kansas, he was a merchant, had issue (no Glass listings in Pratt), he died March 20, 1921 in Greenville, South Carolina Mary Sieleys genealogy. 2. James Benjamin was born December 17, 1850, he died an infant, June 25, 1851 Clinton Co., Ohio newspaper records. 3. Mary Caroline was born August 14, 1852, she died a child March 1, 1859i. 4. Samuel William was born May 16, 1856, he married Ella Irons, he also moved in 1885 to Pratt Co., Kansas, had issue. 5. Emma Elizabeth, see below. #27 EMMA ELIZABETH GLASS Samuel and Mary's daughter Emma was born on January 21, 1861, in Clinton Co., Ohio. She was named for her Aunt Emma. According to family history she was in love with and wanted to marry an Irishman. Her parents did not want her to marry him. Possibly it was because of him probably being Catholic. Her mother Mary was quite frail at the time. Samuel made an agreement with Emma, that if she would not marry the Irishman, stay home, not go to college, and look after her mother, then he would give her their property. He told this to his banker and his lawyer and intended to record it. However after his sudden death, the brothers wanted the remaining property split into thirds even though they had both been given their shares as a farm and business earlier. The conflicting part of this story was that she married Byron Franklin (see Franklin family) about three years before her father's death. I have two of her college autograph books from her days at Wilmington College.

Good morning all, I am looking for information on Vincent GLASS who was born around 1770 to 1775. He lived in Campbell Co., VA in 1790 and married Susanna Listern, this information from "Early American Marriages: Virginia to 1800". I also found a Vincent who married Nancy Rossor in 1796 in Campbell Co., VA but do not think it is the same Vincent since I found Susanna listed in the 1850 Noxubee Co., MS census. The marriage record to Nancy was listed in Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy: Alexandria, Virginia and Washington, D. C., which makes me think the Vincent who married Nancy was Quaker. I am not sure about divorces during their lives but since Susanna was still alive in 1850 I am assuming they are different Vincents. Any thoughts on that assumption? For Vincent and Susanna I have the following children: James G. Glass b. abt. 1791 VA m.Rebecca Allison 1811 in AL Jesse Woods Glass b. 1802 VA m. Sarah Florence Henderson bef. 1824 Joel G. Glass b. abt 1797 VA m. Ann bef. 1829 Rhoda Glass b. abt 1799 VA m. John H. Hines bef. 1824 Hiram M. Glass b. abt 1829 (could be from another Vincent due to birthdate) I various sources I have found multiple Vincents listed, such as tax rolls and land records. Any help or discussion would be appreciated. Thanks, Guy
