Hi Jack, I found an 1850 census with George's siblings mentioned in his obit. George Glass, b cir 1809 & wife Margaret Glass, b cir 1810 [is this Margaret Brown? - I could not see that she belonged to the John Brown - Susan Weakland line] are the parents of George's siblings (only those mentioned in his obit are listed here) George, b cir 1835 - *his wife* - Rachel J, b cir 1835, married cir 1856 - found in Tulare Co, CA in 1910, living with widowed daughter. One Ancestry tree has Rachel Jane Hammer (1831-1925) as his wife. Oldest child born cir 1859, MD, others were born in PA. The 1880 census finds them in Springfield Twp, Sangamon Co, Illinois. John Glass, b cir 1839 - his wife Mary E, b cir 1847, married cir 1868 - found in Johnstown 1920. One Ancestry tree has Lavinia Walters as his wife. Mary J, b cir 1843 - her husband William A. McDermott - found in Blair Co 1910 Roselia, b cir 1844 [Rhoda?] - her husband Michael Shearer - found in Huntingdon Co 1900 Susan F, b cir 1844 - her husband Frank Flannagan - found in Cambria Co 1910 Regards, Jane ----- Original Message ----- From: Jack O'Connor To: [email protected] ; PA List Sent: Wednesday, December 21, 2011 10:55 AM Subject: Re: [PACAMBRI] Obits August 19 1910 Can anyone shed some more light on this George Glass.

I wondered this same thing. I don't know for sure that this is all the same family but a quick search this is what I found. Look at the very last entry dau. of George Glass and Rachel states mother's maiden name is Hammer. I found in the Catholic Vital Records that George was born/baptised 11 Feb 1836 not 1835. I did not see any marriage record nor baptismal records for children of George and Rachel [ I could have missed them for I did not look at each individual record but only viewed the index]. Note there there are a number of missed census years. Ancestry Public Trees suggest several trees where George Glass b. 11 May 1835, Cambria Co., PA and died 5 Aug 1910 Tulare, CA, married Oct 1856 Cambria Co., PA to Rachel Jane Hammer. 1850 US Population Census.
