Ann married Thomas Glasscock about 1668 in Morattico Creek, Lancaster Co, Virginia. Thomas (son of Thomas Glasscock) was born on 1 Jun 1640 in Moreston, Essex, England; died about 1701 in Morattico Creek, North Farnham Parish, Richmond Co, Virginia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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."

Other-Begin:
A King George Co., VA deed refers to the grantors "William Thorn and Mary his wife, widdow and relique of John Oreo late of Prince William County, deceased" along with "John Glascock & Margaret his wife, daughter of the said John Oreo & Mary his wife. . . " all selling their interests to Cornelius McCartie of Brunswick Parish, King George Co., VA

Cornelius McCartie (b. ca. 1766) was married 2 Dec 1787 to Susannah "Sukey" Hardwick (born 1767), dau. of Margaret Glascock (b. ca. 1745) and her first husband Aaron Hardwick (she m. 2nd to William Turley). Margaret Glascock was the dau. of John Glascock and wife Margaret Orear (above referenced). By the way, Cornelis and Susannah McCartie later moved to Fayette Co., KY ca. 1797; in 1809 they were residents of Otter Creek in Hardin Co., KY (now Meade Co.); they had 11 children, one of whom was named Enos Orear McCarty.]

Property:
Joseph Bohannon and Elizabeth Neville probably moved to Prince William County shortly after the birth of their
son William in 1730. On 03 June 1730, George Neville (Neavil) obtained a warrant for 275 acres of land in
Prince William County that was surveyed for him on 31 August 1730. It adjoined the Kettle Run tract of Colonel Carter and lands of William Hackney, Colonel Page, Baldwin and Mr. Debut. George Neville was assignee of William Owen for 181 acres in Prince William County on the South Fork of Bull Run, Catlet's Branch, Bull Run Mountain, drains of Broad Run and the north end of Mother Leather Coat Mountain. The tract had been warranted to Owen on 12 July 1739 and surveyed on 06 March 1739/40. It adjoined land of John Glasscock.

On 31 October 1743 George Neville (Neavil) had 183 acres in Prince William County surveyed for him. The tract was on Mother Leather Coat Mountain on Catlet's Branch and adjoined his own land. The land on Broad Run and Mother Leather Coat Mountain fell into Fauquier County when it was formed from Prince William County in 1759. A warrant for land in that location, dated 25 February 1764, which was surveyed on 12 March 1770 for Mr. Yelverton Peyton, adjoined land of Solomon Jones which had been taken up by Captain Neville

John married Margaret Orear about 1728 in Lancaster, Virginia. Margaret (daughter of John Orear and Mary Lawson (Larson)) was born about 1699 in Prince William Co, Virginia; died after 1800 in Virginia; was buried in Rockburn Cem, King George Co, Virginia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Unknown-Begin: 28 Jun 1749, Prince William Co, Virginia; witnessed document
• Residence: 1782, Frederick Co, Virginia; tax list
• Will: 24 Oct 1783, Rowan Co, North Carolina

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.
