Bruce, Your list has been great and I print each one out and keep them on file for future reference. There still has not been a connection for me but I keep hoping. My Glas, as I have told you, goes back to Scotland and never came to America. She was Elizabeth Glas (no dates), daughter of Alexander Glas who married a lady named (unknown) Blackwood who was the daughter of Sir Robert Blackwood. Alexander Glas was the son of John Glas and Catherine Black. A son of Elizabeth Glas and her husband, Joseph Strachan, was Alexander Glas Strachan, who came to America circa 1773 and settled in Petersburg, VA where he practiced medicine. He was educated in Edinburgh, Scotland and was born 29 Jul 1748 in Luscar, Scotland. Alexander Glas Strachan married twice: (1) Lucy Pride and (2) Sarah Feild. A daughter of Alexander Glas Strachan and Sarah Feild was Ann Taylor Strachan who married John Wesley Jones of VA and NC. They had a son named Alexander Strachan Jones and the name came on down for three generations to my grandfather. There is not a lot of information here, but if any one can help me I would be most grateful. As I have told you in the past, I live in Brevard, NC and Beth Glass has told you that it is in western NC near Asheville and the Blue Ridge parkway. This is beautiful country!!!!!! And speaking a beautiful country, I enjoyed seeing the pictures of Mount Maunganui and the surrounding area. Thank you for all you are doing for us. Edna Bell
