John Glass was my 4th great grandfather. He died on 19 October 1840 in Franklin County, Virginia.
The following list of slaves was from the inventory of his estate. I hope that this might prove to be helpful to someone in their research! I will post the full inventory at a later date.
Here is a list of the slaves, transcribed so that it will show up in a search engine.

Is it just me, or does it seem like there is a very disproportionate number of small children? I wonder why.
