Since I have been having trouble locating early information about my great great grandfather, John GLASS, I thought I would try the new "Glass" mailing list. John GLASS said, in an 1823 Land Grant Petition in Gagetown, Queens County, New Brunswick, Canada, that he was "five years from his native country (Ireland)." I know that he had a brother, James. John married Eliza WHITESIDE in 1823, but she died the following year. In 1827 he married Elizabeth BURNS, daughter of Samuel BURNS and Hannah BRILL. They had Robert, my great grandfather; John, who may have been killed in the Battle of Williamsburg in the American Civil War; William C., who died in San Francisco, California, supposedly in the Great Earthquake of 1906?; Phoebe, who married a British soldier (I don't know his name.) and returned to U.K.; Margaeret, who married another British soldier, John HATHER, and they returned to the U.K.; two "Samuels"were born, but both died young. Eliza was brought up in the family and married William ANDERSON, a Soldier and Musician with 7th British regiment. They also returned to the U.K. Any help you can give would be appreciated.
