I've been waiting for school to end so I could become active on the list and to respond to Bud Glass's message regarding Levi Glass! Now that I am free of my albatross, here's my Glass story.... My oldest known GLASS ancestor was indeed Levi the Elder. Bud gave details of his life in his May 28th posting. All the information I have came from my uncle, Dewey Lee GLASS of Montgomery, AL. He has researched the GLASS name for many years. For other of Levi's descendants who are interested, I can scan the pages of Uncle's book and e-mail them to you. My GLASS lineage is as follows. Levi (the Elder)>Levi Sr.>Thomas>David (Jim)>Charley Martin>Myrtis (Pelham)> Jack (Pelham)>Sandy (Pelham)...ME! This line seems to begin in VA, then settle for periods in NC., GA., AL., and FL. I have extensive descendant info of Levi Sr., through his son Thomas. I, too, am interested in the parents of Levi the Elder. I'm trying to make Old World connections.
