Hi all, I've been lurking, too, reading everyone else' s posts and being able to add nothing. I seem to be the exception to everyone's rule -- my Glass family went from somewhere to Canada and there they never bothered to post any information or register any births. For the record, here's what I know: GENERATION 1 JOHN H. GLASS (called Jack), born supposedly in Ireland (est. 1800 - 1810) and died in Calais, Maine, Dec. 29, 1853) married Mary Ellen unknown, (born in Ireland, died ???) probably in New Brunswick. We assume Mary Ellen died before 1844 as on February 20, 1844, John H. Glass married Elizabeth Card in Calais. We think John is buried in the old United Empire Loyalist Cemetery in St. Stephen, N.B. as the dates on the tombstone are correct for what we know. But no proof as such. Also St. Andrews N.B. was a Loyalist settlement. GENERATION 2: JAMES A GLASS (b. 1830 in St. Andrews, N.B. and died in Calais, ME in 1907). Supposedly lived in St. Stephen, N.B. which is right across the river from Calais, ME. His wife Mary Canavan is buried in the Calais Catholic Cemetery as are three of his children/grandchildren in same plot. No burial place known for him. JOHN H GLASS (b. Sept. 17. 1836 supposedly in Calais but we can find no records; died August 24, 1901 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin) It is on John's Civil War Pension application that we found the names of his mother and father and their listed birth place of Ireland. No name sister -- no information except that my great uncle Hi said his father had nine brothers and sisters but only three lived to adulthood and that one of his sisters married someone named Lovejoy. GENERATION 3: James and Mary (Canavan) Glass had Mary Ellen, Clara, Emma and Joseph. One of Mary Ellen's descendants has this line fairly well filled in to the present. John and Cornelia (Hayter) Glass had John Hiram, Eugene Hayter and Cora May. All born in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Line is solid from their marriage to present date. Spent the morning at the LDS FHC ordering more film and will report back IF I find anything worthwhile. MJBAIER@aol.com Jane Baier -- Naperville, IL
