Hi folks, have precious little to add to all the interesing info. that everyone else has been adding, but I am looking for a Glass family from Virginia . My Grandfather was John D. Glass b. 1850 in Bedford Co. Va., he married Sarah A. Hawkins. John was son of Thomas Glass and Sarah Ann E. Reynolds from Bedford Co. Va. Sarah Hawkins was daughter of Alfred Hawkins and Elizabeth Lawless, also from Bedford Co. Va. This family is supposed to be connected to the Sen.Carter Glass family of Lynchburg, Va. So far I have found no ties, but I am just getting started on this family. If any one knows anything more about these folks, would sure appreciate the info. Thanks, Minpin89

They have 10 children: Patricia, Carole, Mack, Jr., Catherine (me), Leonard, Diane, Ramona, Michele, Anthony, Sr., and Steven Mohamed. (All born in Brooklyn, NY)

I just found out about the list so I'm not aquainted with anyone but here's what I have on the Glass side of my tree. Descendants of Mary Polly Glass 1 Mary Polly Glass b: Abt. 1818 d: Abt. 1924 .. +Jehu Reed b: Abt. 1820 in NC . 2 Lawrence Reed d: Abt. 1863 in Civil War . 2 Samuel Reed b: Abt. 1840 . 2 Louisa Reed b: Abt. 1842 . 2 William Reed b: Abt. 1845 ..... +Catherine Prece m: 20 October 1866 . 2 Doctor Nelson Reed b: Abt. 1847 . 2 Nancy Reed b: Abt. 1848 . 2 August Reed b: Abt. 1852 . 2 Jane A. Reed b: Abt. 1854 ..... +Thomas J. Vestel m: 25 July 1872 in Johnson Co., Tenn. . 2 David R. Reed b: 31 January 1857 d: 1927 ..... +America A. Berry b: 30 July 1857 in Johnson Co., Tenn. d: 1947 Father: David L Berry Mother: Sarah Ann Sullivan . 2 Laura Reed b: 01 May 1861 in NC d: 1937 in Collin Co TX ..... +Alexander J.

Since I don't know who Jehu Reed's parents were either this is one of my biggest brick walls. The only other fact that I have on them is they were in Yancey Co NC in the 1850 census and then in Greene Co TN in the 1860 census. Thanks, Bill Rogers

Bruce, Sorry about that. I thought I knew better than that. See how I are. Bill

Glass List: I apologise - we're trying to figure out why my postings don't get through to the list. If this works I'll post our Glass line tonight. Dennis West

List members please ignore this message. It is for test purposes only. Regards Bruce Glass, List Owner

Hi list members, good to see some postings on the list this morning. I'm particularly pleased to see postings from some who have very little to start with and hopefully you people will get some help from other list members. There are a couple of things that are VERY IMPORTANT and should be noted for future use. 1. THERE IS ONLY ONE GLASS LIST. However you can receive postings from the list in two different ways. The first way is called MAIL MODE which means that those members subscribed in this mode receive each item on the list as a seperate E-Mail. The second is DIGEST MODE which means that those members subscribed in this mode receive all items posted to the list collected together and sent as one E-Mail. Digest Mode is the most popular. Whichever mode you are subscribed to you will get ALL messages posted to the list. There is no need to be subscribed in both modes. 2. There are three addresses to use to reach the list, however unless you are subscribing or unsubscribing you will only be using ONE. They are as follows, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU READ AND UNDERSTAND,,,,, (a) Glass-L-Request@rootsweb.com is used to Subscribe or Unsubscribe to the list in MAIL MODE (each message seperate). In the message area you ONLY put the word Subscribe or Unsubscribe (as the case may be) NOTHING ELSE. (b) Glass-D-Request@rootsweb.com is used to Subscribe or Unsubscribe to the list in DIGEST MODE (each message grouped with any others and sent as one). In the message area you ONLY put the word Subscribe or Unsubscribe (as the case may be) NOTHING ELSE. (c) Glass-L@rootsweb.com is the MAIN address you will use. It is the address you use when posting information to the list for ALL to see. If you use addresses (a) or (b) when posting information to the list it will not get there. It will come to me and I then have to contact the member and have them send it again to the correct address. If you use the Address Book function of your browser PLEASE add the address Glass-L@rootsweb.com NOW. If you dont know how to use the Address Book function and can't get someone to help you please contact me and I shall try to assist. < > marks around an address. Some people do not understand the use of these marks. They are simply to seperate an address from text around it. For example <Bruce.Glass@xtra.co.nz> is exactly the same address as Bruce.Glass@xtra.co.nz You will notice that I did not use a period (.) at the end of the last sentence as this would have made the address incorrect, however if I had put the < > marks around the address I could have finished the sentence with the (.) outside of the marks. For example <Bruce.Glass@xtra.co.nz>. I hope this helps, in some way, those list members who are new to the Internet and E-Mail in particular. To those of you who are on the list in MAIL MODE (4 members at the moment) who may wish to change to DIGEST MODE please contact me directly and I shall change you over myself, it will save you any hiccups. As the list woner any mistakes any members make in the use of the list are sent to me. So don't worry that you are being left out in the cold to fend for yourselves. We are one big family trying to help each other. To contact me directly, my address is <Bruce.Glass@xtra.co.nz>. I live in the sunny Bay of Plenty at Mount Maunganui, (on the Esat Coast of the North Island), New Zealand. Haere Ra and Good Hunting, Bruce Glass, List Owner.

Hi all, I've been lurking, too, reading everyone else' s posts and being able to add nothing. I seem to be the exception to everyone's rule -- my Glass family went from somewhere to Canada and there they never bothered to post any information or register any births. For the record, here's what I know: GENERATION 1 JOHN H. GLASS (called Jack), born supposedly in Ireland (est. 1800 - 1810) and died in Calais, Maine, Dec. 29, 1853) married Mary Ellen unknown, (born in Ireland, died ???) probably in New Brunswick. We assume Mary Ellen died before 1844 as on February 20, 1844, John H. Glass married Elizabeth Card in Calais. We think John is buried in the old United Empire Loyalist Cemetery in St. Stephen, N.B. as the dates on the tombstone are correct for what we know. But no proof as such. Also St. Andrews N.B. was a Loyalist settlement. GENERATION 2: JAMES A GLASS (b. 1830 in St. Andrews, N.B. and died in Calais, ME in 1907). Supposedly lived in St. Stephen, N.B. which is right across the river from Calais, ME. His wife Mary Canavan is buried in the Calais Catholic Cemetery as are three of his children/grandchildren in same plot. No burial place known for him. JOHN H GLASS (b. Sept. 17. 1836 supposedly in Calais but we can find no records; died August 24, 1901 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin) It is on John's Civil War Pension application that we found the names of his mother and father and their listed birth place of Ireland. No name sister -- no information except that my great uncle Hi said his father had nine brothers and sisters but only three lived to adulthood and that one of his sisters married someone named Lovejoy. GENERATION 3: James and Mary (Canavan) Glass had Mary Ellen, Clara, Emma and Joseph. One of Mary Ellen's descendants has this line fairly well filled in to the present. John and Cornelia (Hayter) Glass had John Hiram, Eugene Hayter and Cora May. All born in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Line is solid from their marriage to present date. Spent the morning at the LDS FHC ordering more film and will report back IF I find anything worthwhile. MJBAIER@aol.com Jane Baier -- Naperville, IL

Hello fellow Glass Researchers I am actually a "ring in",the Glass family are from my husbands line,which I have been researching, not too actively for a few months. I would like to thank Bruce for the list,and am sorry I have not been involved before now. I have been busy on another line,so please excuse me. The Glass family I am interested in comes from Penicuik,(for those who do not know ,it is pronounced Pennycook). Robert Glass,married Helen McKenzie 29 May 1818 in Penicuik(she came from Rosemarkie,which I think is near Inverness) Robert died 1865 age 67 years and Helen died 1867 age 71 yrs. Their children are Eva, born 1819 Penicuik **this is the line my husband is from Isabel ch 1821 " Marion " 1823 " Robert " 1825 " John " 1828 " Helen " 1832 " I do have a little more on Eva and Marion,but if there is anyone out there with some more information,I would love to hear from them. We are Scots who migrated to Victoria Australia 26 years ago. TIA Nicky Young

I am just beginning my GLASS research, having spent these past six month learning many of the nuances of on-line genealogy doing my mothers RUGGLES line. I have next to nothing from family so it is a very slow go. I do appreciate what you are doing and would post more if I was able to ask an intelligent question, or better still, had a question to ask. have you thought of contacting some of the AOL on line hosts and getting them to post your LIST in their list??? Again, Thank you Bill Perkins == researching

Hi Dana: I appreciate you wanting to help, but I also appreciate that when you are just starting, you can be overwhelmed. Keep up your genealogical research and I will be willing to exchange information with you at any time. Good Luck! John Glass Hi Mary: My great grandfather, Robert Glass, was married twice: (1)Jane Anderson and (2) Louisa Seely, but neither time to a "Sara Logan." Keep researching and I am willing to exchange information. Perhaps, we can find a connection in our Glass Lines somewhere. Good Luck! John Glass

I've been waiting for school to end so I could become active on the list and to respond to Bud Glass's message regarding Levi Glass! Now that I am free of my albatross, here's my Glass story.... My oldest known GLASS ancestor was indeed Levi the Elder. Bud gave details of his life in his May 28th posting. All the information I have came from my uncle, Dewey Lee GLASS of Montgomery, AL. He has researched the GLASS name for many years. For other of Levi's descendants who are interested, I can scan the pages of Uncle's book and e-mail them to you. My GLASS lineage is as follows. Levi (the Elder)>Levi Sr.>Thomas>David (Jim)>Charley Martin>Myrtis (Pelham)> Jack (Pelham)>Sandy (Pelham)...ME! This line seems to begin in VA, then settle for periods in NC., GA., AL., and FL. I have extensive descendant info of Levi Sr., through his son Thomas. I, too, am interested in the parents of Levi the Elder. I'm trying to make Old World connections. Sandy Pelham Tallahassee, FL, USA

I will come out of lurkdom to tell you what I have & it is next to nothing. I am tracing my husband's (Robert DwayneGlass) ancestry, and have only his father, uncle and grandfather & grandmother. His father was Jack Robert Glass, born Chicago, 12/17/1917 or 1912 (some debate and records were lost). Uncle was Leonard Clifton Glass, Also born Chicago, 1-2-13. He died in Los Angeles childless in April of 1983. He had been married at one time to a woman named Blanche (have no maiden name.) Their parents were Horace Clyde Glass who was married to Ercel Carmine Clifton. Horace also had another wife, Thelma. Aside from the fact that they lived in Chicago for a while, I have no other information on them. This is as far as my time and resources at this time have taken me on this aspect of our ancestry. Have much more on my fathr & mother's side, and Robert's mother's side. If anyone can steer me further, I would appreciate it.

Some more bits I have picked up from the Scottish lists which may help some of you.... There's a whole list and a web site dedicated to Ulster Scots/ Scotch Irish research. "Scotch Irish" is a term only used in the USA to identify non Catholic immigrants from Ireland. Most of them came from Ulster and most were of Scottish background, but there were Palatinate Germans, Huguenots, Welsh, English, Irish who converted, and a few others I am forgetting mixed in, so the term is not synonymous with "Ulster Scot". Most of the Ulster Scots were from the western counties of Scotland and many came first in 1605 and later. However there have always been Scots in Ulster and IRish in Scotland. In fact Scotland is named after a tribe of Irish who invaded and displaced the Picts -- the Scotti. This was about 500 AD. There was a Irish rebellion in 1641-51, persecution of Scots Presyberians before and after, the problem in 1689-- all resulted in many Scots/Protestants fleeing to Scotland (the only parts that were held were Derry and Enniskillen; anyone who didn't make it there or failed to hide well was massacred). Since Scotland is closer than Catalina Island is to California, it was not hard to return or move there before/after various events. Immigration was constant. So you do not know if your ancestors were there for 2, 5, or 10 generations. Many will be found to be indigenous Irish due to intermarrying (I have Hagertys, McGarry, and Kane in my background -- two of the three Irish septs). Some surnames are English and may have arrived in the 1580's via an English colony, originating in Devon. Amazing numbers of those Devonshire surnames survive! Some came over in the mid 1500's when the MacDonnell clan invaded Northern Antrim. I have ancestors who accompanied them. Modern day Scotsmen hate the word "Scotch" though Queen Elizabeth I used it to described "Scotch Irish" in Ulster in the 1500's -- so the term is hoary with tradition and ....clearly there were some there before the great plantations of James VI/I, who succeeded her to the throne. It must have been these she was complaining of -- the highland McDonnells -- "wild Scots" to her <grin>. Bell "The Book of Ulster Surnames" is excellent for identifying surname origin. Some surnames that Black says are Scots (and which are) may have had independent origins in Ireland as an Irish surname. In other cases small septs of Ulster Irish adopted the same surnames as their Scots cousins -- largely because they all spoke Gaelic and so they anglicized their surnames to the same English name too. In the Gaelic world -- Eastrn Ulster and western Scotland are ONE culture. Many of the Western clans claim descent from Ulster O'Neill princes. A number of them were Ulster Irish clans who moved to Scotland at some point in the past. Especially in North Antrim, due to the MacDonnell invasion, there are far more highland Scots and is generally beleived. It was never part of a lowland or English plantation scheme. After James VI/I awarded it to the MacDonnells, it was settled by Irish, highland followers of the MacDonnells, and lowlanders/English/etc who drifted north or immigrated from Scotland. Probably the best source of information is Hanna "The Scotch Irish". Best of luck, Linda Merle at <merle@fea.net> At the risk of being trumped by someone who knows more about Ulster Scots than I, which would be easy, let me give it a try. They are people of Scot descent who come from what is better known as Northern Ireland in today's news. The area is also called Ulster, since that was the name of the county in Ireland of which is was a part before Ireland won its independence from Britain. The majority of its residents descend from Scots who were Protestants and migrated there from Scotland in the 17th and 18th centuries, but a large portion of the residents, at least a third, are of direct Irish descent and Roman Catholic. Thus those who are of Scots descent are called "Ulster Scots." I suspect "Ulster Irish" would simply be those people with Irish roots in Northern Ireland. I'm have no ancestors from the area, so I'm not entirely up on all the nuances of naming in the area, but, like many Americans have a Scot, English, and Irish ancestors, plus many other nationalities, so the area is of general interest to me. Perhaps, someone else will have a better explanation. Best regards, Kelvin Kean Elverson, Pennsylvania at <kkean@ix.netcom.com> I notice that since this list was started that there have been only twelve people that have posted anything to it. As there are almost 50 list members does that mean that 60% of you do not have any ancestry to tell us about and that you don't need any help. I don't think so! If it is not what you want, or there is any way I can make it work better please tell me by posting your suggestions to the list. If you don't know how to use the list or having problems using it please contact me directly at <Bruce.Glass@xtra.co.nz> I shall continue to provide whatever information I find to enable your research efforts, however if I get no feedback I don't know if what I am providing is of any bennefit to anyone. I initiated the list as I know that there are a lot of Glass researchers out there and in time some of you are going to find out that you are directly related. I have had success through the bulk mailing list that I was co-ordinating prior to setting up this list, so if can happen for me it can happen for you. If you don't wish to have your research progress any further then the best way to stop any progress is to ignore the aids that are available such as this list. So come on take a chance, the research material that you have maybe what someone else on the list is trying desperately to find. If you have copious amounts of data try posting a small amount of what you think maybe inportant to someone, then follow it up later with a bit more. I am getting together a posting of what I have and this will be posted shortly. Even though the cost of providing the list is not great there is still a cost involved. If it is not required I shall not continue to provide it. Here endeth the lesson! Haere Ra, Bruce Glass, List Owner.

Thank you for the method in written format. I have been doing a similar editing by saving the e-mail and then editing the file. Your method is far faster. Thanks for sharing with all of us.

Hi list members, the following is a suggestion that may help you save items of interest from your E-Mail messages, or in fact from anywhere else. It is for Windows 95 users however Windows 3.1 users may be able to use it as well (I am not very expert at the finer points of Win 3.1) I also use Netscape however I would believe that users of Internet Explorer will be able to do this. 1. Before I open my browser I open my Word Processing Program (in my case WordPerfect) 2. I then open my browser and go on line. 3. If I find anything of interest I highlight the item by clicking and holding the left mouse button at the start of the item and dragging the pointer to the end of the item. (the item should now be highlighted) 4. Go to EDIT and down to COPY (on Bar at top of Screen), click on COPY. This transfers a copy of the item you highlighted to the CLIP BOARD. 5. Click on your Wordprocessor Icon on the Task-Bar (usually at the bottom of the screen), this will bring your Wordprocessor onto the screen. 7. Select where you wish to place your item of interest, (it may be on the open blank page or you can set up a file where you are going to collect all of your bits and pieces). 8. Click on the PASTE icon (usually on the bar at the top of the screen) this will copy your item of interest to your selected file. 9. Before closing your Word Processor don't forget to save the file. 10. Go back to your browser by clicking on the Browser Icon on the Task Bar. You can repeat this process as often as you like but remember that the last item copied to the Clip Board will stay there until it is replaced by something else. I hope these instructions are understandable (they are to me) but at least they will alert you to the fact that Copying and Pasting are possible. With practice you will find it very quick and easy. It has the added benefit that once you have saved your item of interest, you can if you wish, delete the E-Mail message thus saving space on your hard drive. Best regards Bruce

Hi list members, I hope your research is going well. I have posted below a few bits and pieces that I have picked up over recent days from other lists. >From Ireland GenWeb Fianna is at http://www.rootsweb.com/~fianna/ and the passenger and ship list data should be pretty complete there, as well as lots of other goodies - 200 pages and growing...and some carefully chosen links in various areas... And lots and lots of links at http://www.geocities.com/~hoseahouse/genealogy/ Wild Irish Roves has six pages of Irish/Celtic links Linking to Lives is eight pages of how-to's and classical sites for genealogy, and then there's Britain, Wales, Scotland (including some clan and tartan sites) and the USA >From Scotland GenWeb "Memoirs of the Rebellion in 1745 and 1746," by The Chevalier De Johnstone, Aid-de-Camp to Lord George Murray, General of the Rebel Army, et al. Second Edition. London: Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown. 456 pages. 1821. The first edition was published in 1820, I believe. It's an excellent contemporary account of the Rebellion by an individual who certainly was in the thick of it. It contains over 250 surnames, mostly at the officer and clan chief levels, but also many of the 'common' people Johnstone interacted with during the period. I finally indexed it and can now do lookups for anyone who had relatives involved in the Rebellion. John Jardine jjardcinc@aol.com "Historical Records of the 93rd Sutherland Highlanders - Now the 2nd Battalion Princes Louise's Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders." Complied and edited by Roderick Hamilton Burgoyne, Late of the 93rd. London: Richard Bentley & Son. 1883 It is a 430 page record of this well-known and highly decorated regiment, from its beginnings in 1799 to its amalgamation in 1881. Many officers are mentioned throughout; few enlisted men though, unless they were cited for bravery in action, or had received a medal. Unfortunately, it does not have an index, but I could try to do lookups and photocopy selected pages for any one who had a relative in the Regiment during this period. Name, rank, period served, and locations, would be very helpful. John Jardine jjardcinc@aol.com I would suggest that if you are researching in Ireland or Scotland that you should belong to either or both of these lists. To join Irish list address your message to IrelandGenWeb-D-request@rootsweb.com with the word SUBSCRIBE in the message area (Nothing Else) To join Scottish list address your message to SCOTLAND-GENWEB-D-request@rootsweb.com with the word SUBSCRIBE in the message area (Nothing Else) Don't forget to post any bits of information you pick up that may help others in their research, you would be hoping that they would do it for you! I hope some of this helps in your research, Regards Bruce

Since I have been having trouble locating early information about my great great grandfather, John GLASS, I thought I would try the new "Glass" mailing list. John GLASS said, in an 1823 Land Grant Petition in Gagetown, Queens County, New Brunswick, Canada, that he was "five years from his native country (Ireland)." I know that he had a brother, James. John married Eliza WHITESIDE in 1823, but she died the following year. In 1827 he married Elizabeth BURNS, daughter of Samuel BURNS and Hannah BRILL. They had Robert, my great grandfather; John, who may have been killed in the Battle of Williamsburg in the American Civil War; William C., who died in San Francisco, California, supposedly in the Great Earthquake of 1906?; Phoebe, who married a British soldier (I don't know his name.) and returned to U.K.; Margaeret, who married another British soldier, John HATHER, and they returned to the U.K.; two "Samuels"were born, but both died young. Eliza was brought up in the family and married William ANDERSON, a Soldier and Musician with 7th British regiment. They also returned to the U.K. Any help you can give would be appreciated. Sincerely John R. GLASS 55 Clark St., Hartland, N.B., Canada, E0J 1N0
