Notes for Thomas Glascock

They Followed the Sun, Lorena W. Bush and Mary Cox, 1979, Part Two, p 365
They were in Virginia by 1643 when he first patented land in Warwick River Co and on the Peakatanke River. In 1652 he was appointed Justice of the Peace for the Peankatanke area. He then patented land on Morattico Creek in Lancaster Co on Virginia's "Northern Neck" and apparently moved there in the early 1660's. He was a tobacco planter. He apparently died before June 3, 1667, for on that date his son Gregory was in possession of the Morattico Creek land which had been granted to him in 1662. (One account indicates that Thomas was a brother of the Richard Glascocke who patented land in 1635 in Virginia)
The children of Thomas and Jane Glas(s)cock: all three sons were "of age" by February 22, 1665 because the earmarks of their cattle and hogs were recorded on that date.

Thomas Glasscock married in London, England, June 17, 1634, Jane or Jean Joust, or Jovett. This was probably of the Essex County, England, Glascock family.
Thomas and Jane Glascock with their three young sons, Gregory, Thomas, and John, arrived from England about 1643. They settled in Rappahannock county, Virginia. Thomas received two land patents, one on August 30, 1638, for transporting four persons from England to America; they were himself, his wife Jane; William Charles and James Allen.
Later, Thomas Glasscock transported 8 persons into the colony, and was granted on July 20, 1652, a 600 acre land grant in Lancaster Co., VA.
The Glasscocks settled first in the Northern Neck of Virginia. Old Rappahannock county was organized in 1656; it was abolished in 1692, when it became Essex and Richmond counties. Essex was called South Farnham Parish and Richmond was called North Farnham Parish.
