Welcome, Nelda! John A. Moncrief, here... of Weimar, Texas. I'm working on trying to establish any and all American Moncrief ancestors within a timeline of familiar historical events. This project started as a means of helping my teenage sons better enjoy and feel connected to American History. So far, the boys are not one lick smarter, and I, it seems, am rapidly losing my own mind! I've been babbling for months, now, and just last week began to drool... You've started with JOHN MONCRIEF (he was a tailor, by the way), married to MARY GLASGOW. John is the first (currently) documentable Moncrief in America. There is a great deal of speculation (I am a notorious offender) as to who his parents were, but that's another subject altogether. Your post does, however, prompt me to be speculative on another matter. John's (second) wife Mary. I have seen her last name given as Glasgow plenty of times, but never with anything to support the notion. I have also saved notes that would indicate her date and place of birth are 1651 in Lower Norfolk County, Virginia and marrying John in 1668, also in Lower Norfolk. Again, I have yet to find anything which might substantiate these facts. However, John's will (proved Aug 14, 1713) is witnessed by Adam Pearry, Thomas Davis and DANIEL GLASCOE. Could Daniel be Mary's brother? Is this Daniel related at all to Mary? Hmmmm. Interesting! Anyone care to join in?
