Hello to all you fellow Glass researchers !! Just to let you all know, I'm researching the Samuel Glass and Mary Gamble Glass line. Upon their arrival in America in 1735, with six grown children, spouses and grandchildren, the family initially settled in PA, but relocated to the Shenandoah Valley settlement of Joist Hite by 1736. I have many details of the offspring in America. My particular branch left Virginia in 1832 and ventured into Ohio. (This was Benjamin Glass, along with the Wood family, et al) who were in a well-accounted wagon-train to Wilmington (Clinton County). From there, I'm able to track some of the family venturing into Kansas, albeit briefly for my line, and back to Ohio. My grandfather, Robert Quinn Glass, moved from Ohio to South Carolina as a young man, in the early 1900's. My main areas of puzzlement include: --Finding Samuel and Mary in Ireland. They are said to have come from County Down, Banbridge, and were of an advanced age when they sailed in 1735. --Finding my g-grandfather, George Dillon Haworth Glass, during the brief pioneering days he spent in Kansas, circa 1885-7. I know that many of you also believe your Glass line sprang from Scotch-Irish roots, and I'm sure you have run into the same complications as I have in trying to track them.
