  • Notes 
    • Abstracted Deeds in Chatham Co.:
      (Deeds with stated or implied relationships) page 202
      Nov. 24, 1773
      William Glasscock of Richmond Co., VA to John Milton Glasscock in the
      province of NC, son to my son, George Glasscock, in consideration of
      the natural affection for the said John Milton Glasscock, one Negro
      Fellow (slave) named Fisher, Bed, Furniture, one Bay Horse and two
      boxes the contents consisting of Puter(pewter) Stoneware and etc.
      signed William Glasscock
      Witnessed:
      James Webb
      George Glasscock, Jr.
      Milles Glasscock
      (Folks this document proves three generations of Glasscocks, a very
      prominent family in VA. and the Webb family were neighbors to them, in
      Richmond Co., Va along with other Chatham families. (i.e. Hightower,
      Clark, Petty, Scurlock, Hill)

      John Milton's father, Dr. George Glascock, was murdered in 1787 so is
      not listed but his wife and John Milton's mother, Patty, is listed in
      the 1790 census as 4 families away from John Milton Glascock, and only
      3 families from James Caddell who was probably related to Polly, John
      Milton's wife. When or why John moved to Buncombe County or where in
      that county is to be determined.

      After the murder of John Milton's father, Dr. Geo. Glascock, Philip
      Alston was never found guilty of the charge of accessory to murder.
      "The case remained under the jurisdiction of the Wilmington District
      Superior Court even after the Fayettesville District was established
      in 1789 and included Moore Co. There appears to have been difficulty
      in getting people to court to testify against Alston. At the June
      term of 1788 of Superior Court, Reuben Shields, John Harding and Jesse
      Upton were placed under bond to appear at the December 1788 session as
      witnesses against Alston. This was repeated from term to term until
      the December term 1789 when John Milton Glascock, son of George
      Glascock, andf Reuben Shields, were bonded to appear against Alston at
      the June session 1790 (Wilmington Dist. Superior Court minutes
      1789-1791, DCR 12.003)
      The Wilmington District State Docket shows Alston was scheduled for
      trial at the December term, with John Milton Glascock as prosecutor,
      and Henry Person, Jesse Upton, Josephia Payne, Reuben Shields and
      James Maples as witnesses." Philip Alston fled jail about 8 Jan 1790
      causing the trial to be "put off till the party be found". Alston was
      later murdered himself, therefore the trial never continued. (Quotes
      from "A History of the House in the Horseshoe" by Geo. W. Willcox)

      1810 Census Buncombe Co, NC p.245
      John M. is listed as head and is 45-50 years old;
      3 males under 10, 2 males 10-15, 3 males 15-26, 1 male 26-45; 2
      females under 10, 1 female 26-45, and 1 slave.

      Moved to GA 1812-1815, then to TN 1816, and to Bibb Co, AL somewhere
      between 1816 and 1820 (Probably in 1818 when AL became a state). Born
      in Lancaster Co., VA, raised in Carthage, NC, moved to Bunscombe Co.,
      NC, then lived in GA, and TN, then moved to AL where he raised his
      family in several different Alabama counties. In AL settled in
      Isabella & Macedonia Community on the waters of Mulberry Creek. Ths
      area later became Baker Co. for a few years & then Chilton Co.

      John Milton Glascock purchased two "Pre-emption" Land Patents from the
      Cahaba Land Office (sequential certificates #5980 & 5982 dated 1 June,
      1831). John M. is specifically identified as "Senr." on these grants.
      These are for 80 acres (E1/2 of SW 1/4, Sec. 20, T17, R5) which is now
      in the extreme North East corner of Marengo Co. and 80 acres (E1/2 of
      SE 1/4, Sec. 34, T22, R12) which is now in far West Chilton Co. on the
      Bibb Co. line. The term "pre-emption" indicates that the purchaser
      was living (squatting) on the land prior to the time of the survey and
      was thus granted priority in purchasing. The two tracts were 51
      miles apart (as the crow flies).
