ACROSS THE YEARS - excerpt
"Tax records begin in 1782, show him owning a farm of 85 acres near his father. He doubtless prospered in his business activities for by 1806 his acreage had increased to 792 by various additions. At this time he began to make land transfers and by 1810 he had purchased 769 acres on Smith's Creek near the Massanutten Mountain about two miles south of New Market, Virginia on a road for many years known as Glick's Lane.

This tract was also in Shenandoah County but near the Rockingham border. Here he and his wife lived until his death in 1822.

He is buried on the hill north of his residence in the family cemetery, and a recent granite stone replacing the original one which was broken, marks the spot. This is the oldest known burial place of this Glick Family in the Shenandoah Valley. Reference is made frequently to John Glick, Jr as Elder John Glick because he was a prominent minister and elder in the Old German Baptist (Brethren) Church. He signed his name, when recording marriages, in German Script..."

ACROSS THE YEARS Pg 13
"His faithful wife, Elizabeth Baughman Glick, survived him by 30 years and lived on the old homestead with her son, Joseph, until her death in 1852 and is buried in the family plot on the hill.

Some very interesting stories still prevail concerning this definitely known mother of the Glicks. It is said when she was in her 80s she would spring from the ground into the saddle of her pony when the community doctor called for her assistance at the births of the babies in this area."

Pg 14: "All of these children were born at the old homestead of John Glick, Jr. about 6 miles west of Mt. Jackson" (Virginia)
