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
