Notes for Gregory Glascocke: Gregory lived near his brother Thomas. Most of the Glascocks living in this area of the country are descended from Gregory and Thomas Glascock. He is listed as a "Rappahannock Planter". (Source: J. A. Snyder through: theGlasscockFamilySocietyoftheUSA@groups.msn.com) It is assummed that Gregory was the oldest son because he inherited his father's land. In 1667, Gregory deeded the Morattico Creek land to this brother, Thomas. In 1677, listing himself as a Rappahannock planter, he gave power of attorney to his brother Thomas "of ye same county planter", in the settlement of an estate. Page 161 of The Glas(s)cocks of England and America by Rev. Lawrence A. Glassco: "Gregory's Wife - His wife may have been Mary, dau. of Capt. Alex. Newman of Richmond Co. - according to one researcher's theory. A will proved in 1690 states that their dau. Ann Glascock received 100 acres of land from Capt. Newman, and that Thos. Glascock was an overseer for Capt. Newman in the will. That she may have been Mary Fauntleroy was an earlier "research guess" which has been disproven." "Our narrative has been concerned so far with that branch of the Glascock family which continued to live at the manor house at "Indian Banks". Now we will turn the light of inquiry on the other branch of Thomas' male descendants -- those who were of the family of Gregory (b.1643) and Thomas(b.1671). Thomas (b.1671) was declared "arrived at full age" at the June 1,1692, sitting of the Richmond County Court, so we assume that he was born before 1671. He had married(about 1689) Sarah, daughter of William Stone. Thomas lived on Farnham Creek, the next creek up the Rappahannock about 3 miles north of "Indian Banks". Thomas was a first cousin of the Col. George Glascock who lived at "Indian Banks". Presumably he lived in harmony in the community and was building up a tobacco plantation and estate on Farnham Creek. In 1715 he acted on a committee to take depositions in a property question. In 1718 & l719 he 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 by means whereof the said Forrester Instantly Dyed". No more details about the killing are available. Life was a good deal cheaper and men were more violent in those days than now. Perhaps Thomas had a very good reason or perhaps not. Perhaps the knowledge of all of the facts would reveal ample justification for his violent action or perhaps not. At any rate, after the incident he fled from his home and apparently was never heard from again by his family. His son Gregory, who was 23 at the time, accompanied him on his escape and was later arraigned by a Richmond County Court as an accessory after the murder. After hearing the testimony of Gregory and his brothers, John(age 24) and Thomas Junior (age 18), the court found that "the principall not being attainted, noe. Indictment will lye against the Accessory, therefore the sd Gregory Glascock is Admitted to Baille". The following is a copy of the testimony at the hearing: "Gregory Glascock being examined saith that on the fifth of November last about midnight he set off in a boat with his father, THOMAS GLASCOCK from their Landing (on Farnham Creek) and the next morning his father put him on Shoar the other side of the River about five miles below Morattico Creek,and then he travelled to Gloucester Town, and went over the Ferrey to York Town, and from thence went to Hampton Town, and soe went over James River and Landed at one Willsons, and from thence Traveled Through Norfolk Town and went to a place Called the Northwest Landing, and then came back about Two Days before Christmas to the house of one Nehomiah Jones, and from thence made the best of his way home." The murder and the subsequent flight of Thomas (perhaps eventually south to the Carolinas) left his 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 took possession of Thomas' real estate, negroes and other property which was forfeited to the government. Carter's will in 1726 states, "if my son John (Carter) comes to enjoy the said Glascock's lands under a good title 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." The next generation of Glascocks 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 in the Piedmont area.
