I have just one Glass for whom I have been unable to find much info. Her name was Jane Glass b. c1805 probably in Tyrone. Married to Charles White in Monaghan County in 1824. Migrated to Middlesex County, Ontario in late 1830s. Buried at Ailsa Craig, Ontario. I have some info on the Whites but no Glass data. So if you find a connection, please let me know.
