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
