Today I was going through Heritage Quest and found a listing of Biographical Information in Whiteside County, Illinois, It appears that John Glassburn and wife Jane Fee must have gone there with some of their children. The first article is on their son, Albert J. Glassburn. Albert J. Glassburn, a farmer on section 5, Hahnaman Township, is a son of John and Jane (Fee) Glassburn, natives of Ohio. They had a family of six children, -- David, John, Thomas, Albert J., Sally A., and Mary J. The subject of this sketch was born in Gallia Co., Ohio Sept. 26, 1842, attended the common school until about 18 years of age, and remained a resident of Ohio until 25 years old, engaged in the vocation of agriculture. In the fall of 1867 he came to Whiteside County and purchased 120 acres of land in Hahnaman Township, where he erected good buildings and has since resided. He now owns 200 acres, about 150 of which is in a state of good cultivation. He has a fine farm. Mr. Glassburn was married in Gallia Co., Ohio, Sept 26, 1861, to Miss Mary J. (daughter of James P. and Rebecca (Mauck) Wood, her parents being natives of Ohio, and having in their family seven children, viz: Irene, Mary J., Harrison, Lydia M., Joseph M., James P., and Kate S. Mrs. G was born in Gallia Co., Ohio April 29, 1842. Mr. & Mrs Glassburn have had eight children, five of whom are living, namely: John P., Rebecca J., Ina I., Albert J., Jr. and William G. The deceased were named Effie M., Charles D., and Edward T. In his political principles he is identified as a Democrat, and in religion both himself and wife are members of the Baptist Church. This information was printed in either 1883 or 1885. Its titled Portrait and Biographical Album, Whiteside County, Illinois and was printed in Chicago by Chapman Brothers. I will type in another article later. I tried to type the article in as printed. Connie Rhea Rowe

According to the files I have from my mother-in-law, John and Jane Fee Glassburn died in Whiteside Co., Illinois. I also see that all of the children except for Mary Jane Glassburn who was married to Samuel E.B.McCarley died in Tampico, Whiteside Co., Illinois. Mary Jane Glassburn McCarly died in Raccoon Twp., Gallia County as did her husband.They are buried in Calvary Cemetery in Rio Grande as are most of the Wood descendants. I have the birth and death dates for 6 children of John and Jane Fee Glassburn. I also believe I have a copy of the document you mentioned because I have read that information in some of these papers. Marjorie L.
