    Notes:

    By 1741, Peter and his family had left the Virginia Tidewater area, and moved northwest to the "backwoods" to join his brother John at the foot of Mother Leathercoat Mountain located in Prince William County (later Fauquier Conuty). He leased 200 acres from Capt. George Brent described as being on Slate Run, and just west of Brentsville. It would be about 7 miles south of the Manassas National Battlefield Park. He is listed on poll lists there in 1741 and 1761. The poll list from 1761 shows that Peter voted for Colonel John Baylis and Colonel Henry Lee (father of Lighthorse Henry Lee of Revolutionary fame and grandfather of Robert E. Lee) for Burgesses of Prince William County. His wife Jane evidently died in the 1760's, and he married a second time to Mary. Peter had moved about 12 miles further northwest by the early 1760's when he settled on a piece of Carter property in the Goose Creek area of Fauquier County near the historic "Ashby's Gap" pass through the Blue Ridge Mountains. A mansion named "Oakley" now stands where his property was located just south of the Alexandria Turnpike. This ancient road is now U.S 50, the Lee-Jackson Highway.

    On the eve of the Revolution, in 1770, Peter (or his son Peter) was hauled before the Loudon County Court for apparently behaving in an ungentlemanly manner toward one Abraham Lewis. Peter was the leader of three men who each had to post bonds of good behavior. Peter was 61 at the outbreak of the Revolution, and was appointed surveyor of the road from Pantherskin to the Blue Ridge, and was charged with keeping the road in repair. Because of his service as a "Road Reviewer" his descendants are entitled to membership in the D.A.R. and other patriotic organizations. A neighbor of Peter's several miles to the west was John Marshall, who was born in 1755 in Frederick County and became Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in 1801. In the 1780's Peter was sued by Marshall for two pounds and collected in the suit. The 1782 tax list of Frederick County list him as owner of 11 slaves.

    Shortly after the tax lists were made up, he and his family by his second wife Mary moved to Rowan County, North Carolina, then the whole northeast corner of the state. Peter settled on Dutchman's Creek in the Yadkin Valley (now Davie County), just north of Salisbury. It appears that a large group of Fauquier County families migrated to the North Carolina Piedmont, perhaps in one caravan. This migration was just after the end of the war, for Cornwallis surrenderd after the Battle of Yorktown in 1781. Very likely the Virginia homes and farms of these people were destroyed in the War, and they were forced to leave their homesteads to find new land. Some of Peter's sons fought in the North Carolina militia during the war, and perhaps they were attracted to new land in the Carolina's during this adventure and consequently moved there after the hostilies ended.

    From:
    Subject: Parents of Margaret OREAR and Scarlet MADDEN
    Date: Sun, 23 Mar 1997 14:54:59 -0500 (EST)

    My fifth great grandparents were Scarlet Madden and Margaret Orear. I do not know when they married, but I do know that they lived in Prince William County, Va, and that they had married before 26 June 1749 at which time Scarlet leased 200 acres of land from George Brent for the natural lives of
    Scarlet, his wife, Margaret, and their son, George, or the survivor of them.

    Scarlet died in Prince William County in 1796. Margaret was still living in 1800 when she sold the 200 acres of land that had been acquired in 1749.

    I have had no success identifying with certainty the parents of either Scarlet or Margaret. I have theorized that Scarlet was a son of John Madden, who received a 576-acre grant of land near Goose Run in Prince William County from Lord Fairfax on 6 April 1730. The land was adjacent to land owned by John and Daniel Orear, who had patented their 400-acre tract on 11 August 1711, when the area was part of Stafford County. It seems likely that either John Orear or Daniel Orear was the father of Margaret Orear, but I have not been able to identify her father with any certainty.

    Any information that might help in identifying the parents of Margaret or Scarlet would be greatly appreciated.

    Tony--
    I have come across a reference to an Orear/Madden connection before via another O'Rear researcher, Mrs. Mildred Waddell. Mildred is descended from Mary O'Rear (dau. of John Orear who came to GA), who m. Jesse Brantley in 1797 in Hancock Co., GA. However, Mildred has done a *great deal* of research on early Orears in NC and VA and has discovered
    "missing" females that were not previously included in Edward O'Rear's privately printed O'Rear Sketchbook. Mildred also lives near Salt Lake City and does extensive research at the LDS library there. She is quite elderly and is not on-line, but she is still quite the avid researcher and answers letters promptly. Her address:
    Mrs. Mildred Waddell
    P.O. Box 454
    Coalville, UT 84017

    I've pulled from my files a couple of letters that Mildred wrote me in 1990 about the Maddens, etc., and it appears that at that time even she was having difficulty straightening things out. Various information had been submitted to the LDS temple without documentation and different family history books cited different relationships--some without references. Here are some abstracts of what Mildred included about the Madden family:

    1. a copy of a family group sheet on the family of John Orear (b. ca. 1712 Prince Wm. Co., VA--son of Esther Rennoe, d. ca. 1805) and wife Malinda Madden (b. ca. 1722) of Prince Wm. Co., VA. Ch listed for this couple: Jeremiah (m. Nancy Catlett), Mary Ann (m. James Chamberlayne), Benjamin (m. Mary Catlett), John (m. Sarah Davis), Elizabeth, Margaret
    (b. 13 Feb 1753) m. Benjamin Jameson, Jesse m. Melinda Holton, Daniel m. Ann Luckett, William m. Annie Calk, Enoch m. Hannah Rennoe. [I have more detailed information on birthdates, etc. on these ch.--DS] This was submitted by Norma Y. Ericksen in the 1950s to Salt Lake. At that time she resided in Los Angeles and cited as her source "research
    records of Lee Orear, p. 1."

    Note: Ed O'Rear's Sketchbook attributes the above children to John Orear (b. Stafford Co., VA 1713, d. Prince Wm. Co., VA 1805) and Miss --?-- Renno, dau. of Francis Rennoe.

    2. a copy of Scarlett Madden's will, naming wife Margaret, granddau. Betsy Madden, and "rest of estate to be divided between Elizabeth Glasscock, Frances Reno, Peggy Cox, Franny Newman (each a child's part), John Posey Newman, and Kesia Stone 1 s (share?) each. Exec: wife, Daniel Oraire, Enoch Orear; Wit: John Prosser, Jesse Barron, John Barron.

    3. copy of Fanny Shute's will (Prince Wm. Co., VA 3 May 1784) where she names sister Peggy Madden, Niece Fanny Newman, legatees--George Madden's 2 daus. Sucky and Betsy Madden, Sister Frances Reno. Exec: Father Scarlet Madden and Wm. Orear. Wit: Daniel Orear, Enoch, Elizabeth.

    Note from Mildred: Daniel, Enoch, and Eliz. Orear appear to be the ch. of John & Malinda (Madden) O'Rear according the family group sheet enclosed.

    4. There is some question as to whether there is one or two Margaret Orears during this time period in Prince Wm. Co., VA. A book on the Glasscock family ("The Glas(s)cock/Glassco Saga") states the following on p. 163 in the Additions and Corrections section:
    "Proof that Margaret, wife of John [I assume this means John
    Glasscock--DS] was Margaret O'Rear is in King George Co., VA Deed Bk 7-6-1733. She was the dau. of John and Mary O'Rear: 'John and Margaret Glasscock sell land that Margaret had inherited from her parents, John and Mary Orea (Orear)' "
    Note from DS (me): This John and Mary (Lawson?) Orea/Orear were the parents of 1) Daniel Larson (Lawson?) Orear (b. Stafford Co., VA 1710, d. 1736 Prince Wm. Co., VA) who m. Esther Thorne, dau. of Wm. Thorne and 2) John Orear (m. to Miss Rennoe (Ed Orear) or Malinda Madden (family group sheet referred to above), and 3) Margaret m. John Glasscock.

    Interestingly, after John Orear Sr. died, his widow Mary m. Wm. Thorne--her son's father-in-law. Mary and Wm. then had Susannah Thorne, who m. into the Rennoe/Reno family. But I digress...

    Regarding the above, Mildred was trying to determine if Margaret was one person who married a Glasscock and later a Madden, or if there were two Margarets (note the Glasscock reference in Scarlet Madden's will).

    The IGI lists a John Glasscock/Margaret Orear marriage in 1723 in Lancaster, VA. There is also a vague reference to the marriage of a Scarlet Madden in VA (no co. listed) with Margaret Orear 17??.

    My experience with Mildred's research is that she thoroughly continues to see a problem through, so I have no doubt that she has collected additional material at this time. I also have two microfilms of Ed O'Rear's research that I bought from the KY State Archives, so when time permits, I'll look up Maddens along with some other items I've made a list of. There is no index to the microfilms, so looking through them
    is pretty time consuming--albeit interesting.

    I really haven't answered your question as to whom Scarlett and Margaret's parents are, except to say that Margaret O'Rear Madden possibly may have previously been married to John Glasscock; if so, then she is the dau. of John Orear and wife Mary (Larson?).

    I hope I haven't just confused things further, and I will sort through my O'Rear notebooks to see if I have additional information. Back in the mid-1980s I briefly corresponded with a Mrs. Eva Genty in MO who was descended from Margaret Orear Glasscock. Perhaps she would be able to provide additional information, although as I recall her primary source was the Glasscock book. Also, hopefully someone else on the list has more information on this family.

    In Reply to: SCARLETT MADDEN will 1788, proved 1796 VA-wives? chn? by Laura Pack of 2993


    I too am working on the Scarlett MADDEN problem. My information is that the Scarlett Madden who died sometime between 9 January 1788, when he signed his will, and 5 September 1796, when the will was probated in Prince William County, VA, married a woman named Margaret, surname unknown. They had two children: George and Fanny. Their birthdates are unknown but George died in 1792 when the inventory of his estate was returned and recorded. Fanny left a will recorded in 1783/84 mentioning her father and her brother's children Sukey and Betty Madden.

    George MADDEN married Kezia FRENCH, daughter of William FRENCH and Winifred HALL. They had two children, Sukey, who died young, and Elizabeth who married Richard STONE, son of Valentine STONE and Mary EVANS on 21 October 1796 in Madison County, KY. Meanwhile, Kezia French Madden married Valentine Stone, as her second husband and his second wife. One date given for this second marriage is ?about 1785?, although the earliest birthdate for their several children is 1789.

    The above information is based on Katherine Cox Gottshalk?s ?Ashton-Hall-Leasure-French Families of Virginia,? in ?Family Records?, vol. 1, submitted by May Stone to support her application for membership in the DAR (see pages 98 and 113-123).

    Obviously the above information presents some problems. A marriage date in the 1780s for Valentine Stone and Kezia French Madden is in conflict with a deathdate of 1792 for George Madden (unless Kezia simply ran off with Valentine, for which there is no evidence). One clue is that Fanny Madden?s 1783/84 will, which did not mention her brother George, may have been written after his death. Moreover, while I have not yet had an opportunity to view the Prince William County probate records, in an index the name of George Madden appears in Prince William County Wills, Pt. 2 1734-1920 in Will Book G, page 163 for 1782 and in the Final Accounts on page 321 for 1786. As the 1792 date is only when the inventory of his estate was completed and may in fact be erroneous, probably George Madden died prior to 1783/84, in which case a ca. 1785 date for Kezia?s second marriage would be plausible -- especially as she had at least one surviving daughter to raise.

    Returning to the problem of Scarlett Madden, on the Internet I have seen several genealogies that have him married to Margaret OREAR/O?REAR. One genealogy states that Margaret was born 1701 in Prince William County and died 1780 at Atoka in Fauquier County, VA. She married first in 1728 John GLASSCOCK who was born 14January 1698 in Fauquier County. His death date is uncertain. Scarlett Madden was her second husband. Their only child of this union listed in these genealogies is Elizabeth MADDEN, born 1748, who married Peter GLASSCOCK and died 1815 in Rowan County, NC.

    These genealogies, of course, raise the interesting problem of whether Scarlett Madden and Margaret Orear Glasscock had other children besides Elizabeth, namely Sukey and the Elizabeth Madden who married Richard Stone. Since the Gottschalk genealogy and those on the Internet were focused on tracing different lines of descent from Scarlett Madden, that could explain why neither genealogy dealt with the other children.

    Another possible explanation is that there were two Scarlett Maddens, both residing in Prince William County and both marrying women named Margaret. Elizabeth Madden Glasscock was the offspring of one Scarlett and George and Fanny the children of the second. So far I have found nothing to support such an explanation.

    I have no information regarding the other possible children mentioned in your posted message.

    I plan to continue my researches into the Scarlett Madden family and will let you know if I find anything additional to the above. Please let me know if you come up with anything that might be helpful in explaining these discrepancies.

    GLASCOCKS MOVE TO THE
    OLD NORTH STATE

    Written by Rev. Lawrence A. Glassco

    At the end of the Revolutionary War in 1781, Peter Glascock was 67 years old.
    In the 1782 Fauquier tax list he had 11 slaves (or 8 slaves -- one record is probably of old Peter and the other of his son Peter Jr.). He and his first wife, Jane, had raised nine children, and he had seven more children by his second wife, Mary (probably Mary Rector). His youngest daughter, argaret, was only about seven at the end of the war and the rest of his second set of children ranged upward in age to Spencer, who was about 20.

    We know that at least two of his older sons, Peter Jr., and Jesse, had fought in the North Carolina militia during the war. They and their brother Spencer are listed in the Rowan County tax list of 1778. Further, their cousin Gregory also
    entered 400 acres on the south side of Dutchman's Creek in 1778. (On August 7, 1774, a Jane Glasscock became a member of the Dutchman's Creek Baptist Church. I assume that she was the second wife of this Gregory; thus he had apparently moved to Rowan County by 1774.).

    It was probably through the efforts of some of these relatives that old Peter decided to move south after the cessation of hostilities. So shortly after the tax lists for 1782 were made up in Fauquier County, Peter and his family moved down the Shenandoah Valley from Virginia to somewhat comparable piedmont terrain in Rowan County (now Davie County) North Carolina.


    Peter wrote his will in 1783 in North Carolina. It was when this will was discovered in North Carolina in the 1950's that all of Peter's sixteen children were finally accounted for and the genealogical charting of this large branch of
    the family began to be possible. Apparently old Peter died shortly after his will was written, in 1784.

    His will divided his plantation of 320 acres as follows: (1) "120 acres of land where I now live including the plantation" to his wife Mary; (2) "100 acres of land
    part of the same tract I live on to be laid off on that side of the land adjoining Cedar Creek" to his son Charles; and (3) "100 acres of land to be laid off on that side the land on Dutchman's Creek" to his son Moses.

    Unfortunately, diligent search of old maps and land records of Rowan County does not give any further information about the exact location of Peter's plantation. There are dozens of records of the Glascock's land holdings of Peter's many descendants in Rowan County in the following years, but as in Northern Virginia, no records have apparently survived of Peter's property.

    Now we turn our attention to three of Peter's sons, Jesse, Peter, and Gregory, who served in the North Carolina militia, and who decided to make North Carolina their home after the war ended.

    Jesse Glascock was born ca. 1748 in Loudoun County, Virginia and remained there for a time. In 1778 he & his brothers Gregory & Peter are listed in the tax lists of Rowan County, North Carolina. There he volunteered to serve in the North Carolina militia when Cornwallis invaded the south & his pay voucher is in the North Carolina records. Family tradition relates that while in the militia he fought at the Battle of King's Mountain, South Carolina in 1780.

    At about the close of the war he apparently returned to Loudoun County, Virginia, & was married to a Miss Adams (said to be related to the President) for his first son was born in Loudoun County in 1781. In 1782 his father moved to
    North Carolina & settled on Dutchman's Creek in Rowan County. However Jesse is shown on the 1782 Loudoun tax list with 1 white poll and 1 Negro slave. He received only 1 shilling in his father's 1783 North Carolina will. (Most of the property went to Peter's 2nd wife & her children in North Carolina, while the children of his first wife back in Virginia received 1 shilling each. Perhaps they had received an inheritance from him earlier, or when he married the 2nd wife, as was often the custom.).

    In 1791 the Loudoun Court ordered Amos Dunham to pay Jesse 25 pounds of tobacco for service as a witness. In 1795 he was again a witness in Loudoun Court. Then in 1801 his son Enoch migrated from Loudoun County to Kentucky. His father & family followed, probably a few years later, and in 1810 he is listed in the Hardin County, Kentucky, census -- age over 45, wife 26-45, 1 son 26-45 & 1 daughter 10-16. (The children are probably his younger children Abraham & Faner.) His older sons Enoch and Peter are listed in the Breckenridge County census of 1810.

    Peter Glascock, Jr. was born ca. 1744 & went to Rowan County, North Carolina at the time his father moved there. He married Elizabeth Madden, daughter of Scarlett Madden (and probably granddaughter of John Madden & Bridget (Helm). The Rowan census shows Peter the head of a family of 12 whites, comprised of 3 males over 16, 4 males under 16 & 5 females. Peter Sr.'s 1783 will specified that his son Peter was to share in the division of his Negroes, live stock & other estate at the death of his wife, Mary. In 1798 Peter had a state land grant on Howard's Branch of Dutchman's Creek and another in 1799. In 1801 he deeded
    part of this land to Scarlet Glascock.

    Gregory Glascock was born 21 Jan 1732. He moved to Rowan County, North Carolina and died there in 1790, will proved 1790. He is probably the "Trusty friend" of Peter's 1783 will. He married (1) ca. 1753-1755 a Rector or Fishback.
    and (2) Jane ----. He had a grant of 400 acres on the South side of Dutchman's Creek in Rowan County. He had large grants of land in Kentucky, possibly as a result of Revolutionary service. He remained all his life in Rowan County and died there in 1790.

    There are a number of other records of Glascocks living in the area before 1800. Some of the early ones include:

    1774 -- Jane Glasscock joined Dutchman's Creek Baptist Church
    1778 -- George Glasscock lived on Dutchman's Creek.
    1778 -- Peter Glasscock entered 200 acres on Elijah's (Elisha's) Creek, a
    tributary of Dutchman's Creek.
    1778 -- Gregory Glascock's 400 acres on south side of Dutchman's Creek
    adjoin Christopher Booe, Hugh Montgomery and Henry Railsback.
    1778 -- Gregory, Jesse and Peter listed as taxable persons in Capt. Johnson's District.
    1783 -- Peter's will filed. Has his signature "Glasscock"
    1784 -- Will of Peter Glasscock proved by Oliver Hendren, Basil Gaither and Stephen Noland. "On the resignation of Gregory Glasscock, letters issued to Mary and Spencer Glasscock."
    1784 -- Peter Glasscock ordered to oversee the road from Dutchman's Creek to Elisha Creek with hands of the adjacent and to build a bridge over Dutchman's Creek. (Must be Peter.)
    1794 -- Mary, widow of deceased Peter Glasscock of Rowan County, North Carolina to their sons William, Wharton and Elijah. Wits. Basil Gaither & Thos. Prather.
    1797 -- Spencer Glascock to Charles Glascock of Fauquier County, Virginia 100 acres of land on waters of Dutchman's Creek left to Charles by his father's will, adjoining Spencer.
    1804 Spencer Glascock (then living in Tennessee) sold 127 acres on both sides of Dutchman's Creek adjoining Gregory.


    So it appears that at least some members of the family had migrated south to North Carolina before or during the war. The route was down the Shenandoah Valley between the mountains -- a natural migration route. From the records, it
    is apparent that Glasscocks, Adamses and several other families from the Piedmont in northern Fauquier County may have gone south at about the same time. Some of them retrned to the north -- as did Jesse to live after the war --
    while others stayed in the south.

    Research Notes:
    Name: John Madden

    County: Prince William County

    Record Type: Rent Role
    Database: VA Early Census Index

    speculation that Scarlett is s/o John Madden and Polly Thorn.
    John (Bridget) is deceased by 1760. Could this be the John/Polly?

    in looking for Polly Thorn, there seems to be only one Wm Thorn in the time and place necessary. this William Thorn
    was married to 1, Mary Peck, widow of John Orear; and 2 Sarah Muse, wid of Carter. It appears from those who researched Wm Thorn, he had only two offspring, Susannah Thorn (1719) and John Thorn (1748) - half siblings. So, if there was a Polly Thorn, she did not come from this William.
    Perhaps William had a brother?

    ----------
    A John Madden (believed to be John* b bef 1708 and married to Bridget Helm) received a 576-acre grant of land near
    Goose Run in Prince William County from Lord Fairfax
    on 6 April 1730. The land was adjacent to land owned by
    John and Daniel Orear, who had patented their 400-acre
    tract on 11 August 1711, when the area was part of
    Stafford County.

Generation: 4

  1. 8.  Thomas Glasscock was born on 1 Jun 1671 in Farnham Creek, Virginia (son of Thomas Glasscock and Ann Nichols); died on 8 Jan 1729 in Fauquier Co, Virginia.

    Notes:

    The Glas(s)cock - Glassco Saga; Lawrence A. Glassco, 1974

    Thomas Glascock was declared "arrived at full age at the June 1, 1692 sitting of the Richmond County Court so we assume he was born before 1671. He had married about 1689, and lived on Farnham Creek, the next creek up the Rappahannock River, about 3 miles north of "Indian Banks", and in Richmond County. He was a first cousin of Col. George Glascock who lived at "Indian Banks" plantation. Thomas built up a tobacco plantation and estate on Farnham Creek, and in 1718 and 1719 was appointed surveyor of the highway from "Capt. Tarpley's house over the Morattico Hill to the main road".

    Then tragedy struck. On November 5, 1723, Thomas made an assault on the body of William Forrester by stabbing him with a knife and causing his instant death. Thomas fled from his home and was not heard from again. There was no trial of the case. His son, Gregory, who was 23 at the time, accompanied him on his escape. Upon the son's return to Virginia, he was arraigned by a Richmond County Court as an accessory after the murder. After hearing the testimony of Gregory, and his brothers John and Thomas II, he was aquitted and placed on an order of good behavior.

    The murder and subsequent flight left Thomas' wife Sarah with six children on the Farnham Creek property. She probably maintained the family home for a time in the best way she could manage, but "King" Robert Carter eventually took possession of Thomas' real estate, negroes, and other property which was forfeited to the government. King Carter was the largest landowner in Virgina and the Glascock's neighbor. The next generation in Thomas' line apparently had to start all over again on their own. They moved north from their old home in the Tidewater, and established large families and many descendants in northern Virginia.

    King Carter's will of 1726 indicates that he had taken charge of Thomas' personal property, and expected to get Glascock's land also. It states "if my son John (Carter) comes to enjoy the said Glascock's lands under a good tittle that then he further consider the said Glascock's children in such proportion as he shall think fitt, or otherwise gratify them according to his discretion". Since both John and Peter Glascock settled on land belonging to John Carter in Prince William County, that may indicate that Carter did honor the request of his father's will.

    The original newspaper report of Thomas Glasscock's flight from justice. "The American Weekly Mercury", No. 216, from Tuesday January 28th, to Tuesday February 4th, 1724: "By special command, of the Honourable Sir William Keith, Bart, Governor of the Province, publick Notice is hereby given: That there is come to his hands a Writ of Hue and Cry, under the Hand of the Honourable Hugh Drysdale Esq., Governor of Virginia, and the Great Seal of the said Province, after one Thomas Glascock of Richmond County in Virginia, Planter, for having barbarously murdered William Forrester of the same County, Surgeon, by secretly stabbing him with a Knife, as he entered the House of the said Glascock to which he was invited in the Business of his Profession, and of which wound he instantly died. And that by the said Writ of Hue and Cry, under the Hand and Seal aforesaid, there is promised a Reward of Forty Pounds Sterling, to any Person or Persons who shall apprehend and secure the said Thomas Glascock so as he be brought to Justice. He is a Man of middle stature, about 50 years of Age, well set, his Face bloated, of a pale Complexion, and much Wrinckled, his Hair dark coloured and almost streight, his Eyebrows large and a more than usual winking with his Eyes, his Beard growing in Patches and of a grayish hue, his Legs large and swelled with the Dropsie, his Garb uncertain, having taken several Suits of Cloths with him.

    Also, he carried with him his Son named Gregory Glascock, about 21 Years of age, a lusty wellset Fellow, with streight brown Hair, a swarthy Complexion and pretty much Freckled. It is also earnestly recommended to all Persons whatsoever, in any of His Majesties Colonies or Plantations, who shall see or hear of the said Glascock, that they use their utmost endeavour to apprehend and secure him, that so notorious a Criminal may be brought to Justice."
