Dear Catherine, Thanks for sending me the copies of the Glass/Keim bible, and the John A. Glass bible also. I am virtually positive that those people came from Guilford County, NC, along with other family members, and that they were not of your line. I have never heard of anyone from that part of NC going to Jamaica. The Samuel Glass line from Frederick County, VA has more promise, and their children are well documented. One good source of info on that line is a well researched story entitled "LAND, ETHNICITY, AND COMMUNITY AT THE OPEQUON SETTLEMENT, VIRGINIA 1730-1800" by Warren R. Hofstra. You can find it in The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, Vol. 98, No 3 (Jul 1990). It will give you 25 pages of rich information with primary focus on the Samuel Glass line. He even mentions Philip Glass (John Philip Glass), the German progenitor who settled in the same community about the same time (the early 1730's). Mike Cavenaugh
