ELEVENTH GENERATION
1544. Thomas GLASSCOCK. L.Glassco says, "
The Mormon records of Essex and London also lists the christenings of 20 babies
named Thomas Glascock between 1543 and 1600 and 7 more Thomas Glascocks christened
between 1600 and 1630 - who I assume might be considered of possible age to be
Thomas (1) of Virginia".
Thomas Glas(s)cock, the first of the Glasscocks, arived in America during or
before 1643, for on August. 30 of that year he received two land patents. "Thomas
probably came from the English family of the Glasscocks from Exxex County, of
which there were a number of branches in the early 1600's. From the patent we
know his wife's name was Jane.
One of Thomas's 1643 patents was for 130 acres in Warwick River County "parallel
to his own land of John Leyden and adjacengt to land of Thomas Davis" for
transporting three persons to Virginia from England.
On Aug. 30, 1643, Thomas also patented 200 acres "a mile and a half upon
the South side of Peankatanke River, adj. Christopher Boyce" for transporting
4 persons to Virginia. (Two of the four were himself and his wife, Jane.) We
are sure he lived on this patent, for he was appointed Justice of the Peace for
the Peankatanke area by the Burgesses, sitting at Jamestown.--
Thomas And Jane Glas(S)cock had three sons, Gregory, Thomas, John. It is ineresting
to note that in the third generation of both branches of the family there was
only one son to cary on the family name and line. (Probably most of the Glasscocks
and many of the Glasscos of the country are descended from one or other of these
two 1st cousins of the 3rd generation - Thomas, son of Gregory 2, or George 3,
son of Thomas 2". (Glas.-G. Saga, pp.1-10).
"GLASSCOCK-BALL-WASHINGTON - Mary Ball was the first cousin of the fathers
of the Ball girls who married Glascocks, so she was their first cousin once removed
and George Washington was their second cousin. (LAG, Glass. of Eng. & AM.,
160).
He was married to Jane JUET on 17 Jun 1634. 1545.
Jane JUET. Thomas and Jane Juet to VA by 1643.
"One early record which is of great interest to American Glasscock researchers
is that of the 1643 marriage license of Thomas Glascock and a young lady named
Jane Juet. The license was issued in London on June 17, 163. The date of the
license, nine years before Tom and Jane Glascock were on record as present in
Virginia, apparently makes them about the right age to be the couple we are seeking."
(L. A. Glassco, p. 26). More about this on p. 26, and a copy of the License,
see p. 231 of his second vol.--of England and Ameriica.
A Robert Juet was Henry Hudson's Master Mate on both of Hudson's 1609 and
1610 expletory journey's to discover a fabled Northwest Passagae. They dsicovered
Hudson Bay. Juet was among the Mutineers, who put Hudson and several of his men
adrift, never to be heard from again. They then encountered Eskimos who attacted
and killed many of them. Juet was among the suvivors who managed to reach England
seven years later, where he eventually published his detailed account of the
voyage in 1625.
Could it be that "our" Jane Juet, was related to this famous explorer
who was also from London. At any rarte Jane Juet apparently was a girl about
14 years old who was living in London when his journal was published there in
1625. (LAG, p.207, Glas. of Eng. & AM).
