The lineage of Hiram Glass (1734-1788) to
Lillian May Glass has been verified in the World
Families
DNA
Project—surname
by
genetics
(

). U.S. Federal census
records as well as Illinois and Arkansas marriage
records add additional documentation to the truth of
the lineage.
The sons of Hiram Glass were American
pioneers. Each son married and established a family
and each traveled further and further west together.
Following the families from Virginia to Kentucky to
Tennessee to Illinois to Arkansas to Missouri, find one
brother and you find most of the others. It would be
fascinating to understand and vicariously experience
the family dynamic fueling this almost tribal, nomadic
existence that began with Samuel Fielding Glass.
