(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)

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).
