Jehu is a Biblical name. It is not (in the Bible) an abbreviation of another name.

To Rnzinn@aol.com I think that you will find that Jehu is a name in and of itself and is not an abbreviation. It has its own Hebrew characters and should not be confused with Jesus which is a diminutive of Joshua and not Jehu. In the Hebrew Testament, the name Jehu is given to the son of Hanani [I Kings 16:1,7,12] as well as the son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nishi, and the founder of the 5th dynasty in Israel [II Kings 9]. Your request reminds me of another name that is a name in and of itself: Eliza is not a diminutive of Elizabeth. It should be allowed to stand on its own as the writer of Uncle Tom's Cabin knew quite well. However, many people rewrite the name Eliza to Elizabeth and they should not do that.

I saw your post about having the Glass Book. In regard to your kind offer to look up...would you look and see if there is a mention of a Benjamin Glass, born 1790 in Virginia and died 1853 in Barren Co., Ky and was married to Susanne Franklin born 1792 in Virginia and died in 1850 in Barren County, Ky.

Hi all, I am searching for the parents of Elizabeth. This is all the information I have on her any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks, Diane Descendants of Elizabeth Glass 1 Elizabeth Glass b: August 18, 1786 in Amberson Valley, Franklin Co, PA d: June 11, 1872 in Amberson Valley, Franklin Co, PA . +James Fegan III b: February 13, 1775 in Amberson Valley, Franklin Co, PA d: December 22, 1853 in Franklin Co, PA m: November 13, 1807 in Amberson Valley, Franklin Co, PA They had 11 children. Elizabeth Glass Fegan was noted for her beautiful weaving and lace making. Many specimens of her handwork are in the possession of the Janes Edward (Uncle Neddie) Fegan family descendants. "After the death of her husband Elizabeth Fegan kept house for her Bachelor son, Lazarus who farmed in Tuscarora. When he moved to Iowa she returned to Amberson Valley, lived a short while with the James Edward Fegans and later lived with her son Matthew where she died." From the letters of Barbara Fegan Sanderson a grand daughter, Elizabeth Glass Fegan was of German descent.

Hi list members, just a couple of items I have found in my archives. 1/ From New Zealand World War 1 (1914/18) Embarkation Rolls. GLASS Thomas, Rifleman, Miner. Next of kin Mis L. Glass, Aucxen Gree, Glengarnock, Ayreshire, Scotland. If this one fits someones genealogy, more information may be able to be gained from NZ Army records. 2/ GLASS Hugh (1817-1871), speculator, squatter and merchant, was born at Porta-ferry, County Down, Ireland, son of Thomas Glass, merchant, and his wife Rachel, nee Pollock. If this man belongs to someones genealogy, I have a two page copy of his exploits in Victoria, Australia. The list now has almost 100 members and seems to be ticking over quite well at the moment. I would suggest that if you posted information some time ago that you re-post it for the benefit of the newer members. If you have lost items from early Digests please let me know the Digest Number and I can send it off to you. I am archiving all of the items posted. >From a cold, wet and windy winters afternoon in New Zealand, best of luck to you all in your research. Regards Bruce Glass, List Master.

I know it isn't genealogy but I thought list members might like to see where their List Master lives. The following URL will give you information and phographs of my home town. http://www.mt-maunganui.co.nz/photos/welcome.html Look and enjoy, Best Regards Bruce Glass, List Master New Zealand.

Hi Everyone, A few little bits of information picked up at the Family History Center this week. Vol. 2, page 26 Parish Records of St. Andrews Roman Catholic Church, St. Andrews New Brunswick: James Glass and Mary Canavan both of the Parish of St. Stephens were married in this month of September 1853 in the presence of Robert McConnell and Ellen McConnell. Same volume, page 46: Dennis Short and Mary Ann Glass were married according to the rite of the Catholic Church in the presence of Henry Murphy and Bridget Lynch. Vol. 2 of the Parish Records of St. Andrews above: One 26 January 1858, I baptized Daniel Edmund Short, age 10 days, born of the lawful marriage of Dennis Short and Mary Anne Glass. His sponsors being Cornelius Short and Ellen Quime(?) I believe that Mary Ann Glass is the same Mary Ann Glass whose family is on Disk 5, tree 3890 of World Family Tree Jane Baier

I have been doing research into the Kutschurgan settlements northwest of Odessa in Russia. In the town of Elsass, one of the founding families was Glass. Since I am researching the Kamenz line also in that time, I have done nothing more with the Glass family there. The Kutschurgans have a web page: http://www.kutschurgan.com. There may be help and references for you there. Good luck! Beth Glass

I am looking for Glass family from Poland/Russia. David Glass, was born in Russia and his daughter Tillie Glass was born abt 1894, Wierzbnik, Poland (south of Warsaw; between Lodz and Lublin. Tillie died 1964, Toronto, Canada. The name of David's wife (and mother of Tillie) is unknown. Tillie married Joseph Lashinsky who was born abt 1891, Wierzbnik, Poland. Joseph died 1973, Toronto, Canada. I hope someone might have a connection. Nancy

Hello all, Unfortunately, I have no new real data to provide. It appears many of us are stuck on Levi Glass (The Elder). I have been in contact (via Email) with some wonderful people from Scotland for about 1 1/2 years now and will share with you his latest message regarding the terminology "The Elder". His message reads as follows: Hi! Bud, I’ve managed to find out that the term Elder, more than likely emanates from Scotland and is a Presbyterian term, usually identifying an office bearing member of the church. Going that far back to the 1700’s it could also mean that Levi Glass had a son, or there was another person with the same name living in the same town or village, and attaching the title The Elder would distinguish between them. Sorry I can’t be of any more help, the information came from a local minister. My Grandfather whom passed away in 1958 always said our part of the Glass family (Levi) started with 3 brothers whom came to US from Scotland. Happy hunting to all. Bud Glass, Shelby, Ohio, USA.

I have information from a Bible that belonged to Nancy T. Martin, first daughter of William and Sarah Glass Martin. It is now in the possession of John Marshall Martin, Jr. of 6909 Fort Hunt Rd, Alexandria VA 22307. -- Page one: Dudley Glass father of Sarah Glass was born in Halifax Co VA Oct 1770 died in Weakley Co TN Sept. 29 1835. Nancy Glass (nee Carr) was born in Halifax Co VA April 25, 1788 died in Weakly Co TN May 5th 1860. Page two: Sarah Martin consort of William Martin and daughter of Dudley and Nancy glass died July 29th 1853. William Martin husband of Sarah Martin and son of Thos. Drucilla Martin died Jan 17th 1859. William Martin was married in VA to Miss Sarah Glass on Sept 30 1828 Page three: Marshall P. Martin was born July the 31st 1847 William H. Martin was born August 25 th 1850 Page four: William Martin was born January the 30th 1806 Sarah Martin was born July the 26th 1810 Nancy T. Martin was born September th 5th 1830 Sarah F. Martin was born July the 7th 1833 Thomas D. Martin was born April the 27th 1835 John R. Martin was born Jun the 12th 1837 George W. Martin was born October the 16th 1839 Andrew J. Martin was born March the 1st 1842 Virginia Martin was born December the 23rd 1843 Page five: Andrew J. Martin died September the 19th 1845 Nancy T. Stovall consort of HC Stovall and daughter of William and Sarah Martin departed this life July 7th 1852 Sarah F. Martin Sarah F. Latham consort of T. J. Latham and daughter of William and Sarah Martin departed this life Jan 8th 1854 -- I hope this information is useful and can prove the whereabouts of Dudley Glass for some of you.

I am new to this forum but was startled to see the name Dudley Glass arise. Three weeks ago, in Scott County, KY, I spoke with Dudley Glass at his ancestral home on Long Lick Road outside of Georgetown/Stamping Ground. Dudley is descended from William Glass, son of Jehu Glass or VA (married to Elizabeth Christy abt. 1774). Jehu Glass was allegedly a sea captain who owned land in Richmond Co. VA. Jehu's wife was Elizabeth (Dozier) Belfield Wilson, twice a widow. They were married prior to 1752. At some point, Jehu sailed away and never returned. I refer you to "William Glass of Scott and Owen Counties, Kentucky", by Zelma McCord McMurtry, privately published in 1975. A copy of this may be found at the Filson Club in Louisville and by now, it may be available on film theough the LDS folks. Dudley is not your everyday name and to have it crop up in KY startled me. I am inclined to write him and see what he can tell me. In the meantime, as my attention is now turning to my Glass ancestors, I will be interested in what you all have to say. By the way, Mrs. McMurtry outlines two other Glass families living in Scott and Owen Counties and there is no known relationship to the descendants of William. I also have a copy of the book and can look up names for those interested.

I finally got to see a copy of the 1850 US census and found parents of my great grandfather Julius Caesar Napoleon GLASS. They are Samuel and Grizann I. GLASS. Samuel would have been born in 1812 in Tennessee--the census doesn't specify county. Grizann I. would also have been born in 1812/13 but in North Carolina. JCN was their oldest child. He was born in Tipton Co., TN in 1834 so probably Samuel and Grizann married in early 1830s. JCN's siblings and year of their birth: David L. - 1836; James K. P. - 1839; Sarah Ann - 1841; Isaac N. - 1846; Jane M. - 1848. I have also received an e-mail from someone who says the 1860 census shows Malissa J., Samuel F. B and Grisanna J. My task now is to discover more about Samuel and Grisann I. Was "I" the initial of her middle name or maiden name? Any help appreciated. Beth Glass Brevard, NC USA

I have the real name of my g-grandfather. His name was Isiah Lintel or Lyntel Glass. As far as I know they were from Arkansas. Does he exsist on the current Glass list.
