I saw your post about having the Glass Book. In regard to your kind offer to look up...would you look and see if there is a mention of a Benjamin Glass, born 1790 in Virginia and died 1853 in Barren Co., Ky and was married to Susanne Franklin born 1792 in Virginia and died in 1850 in Barren County, Ky.
