Like many other families the Glasscock loyalties were divided during the Civil War time period. Many Glasscocks even changed the spelling of their names due to the bitterness created by the Civil War. Many English and early American ancestors spelled it with only one "s". One of the other variations of the spelling was "Glasscoke". Chaffin's parents Wharton and Nancy "Chaffin" Glascock spelled their name using this variation. Their grandchildren "added another s" to the spelling.
Note the spelling change of the last name on the headstone of "Elijah Glasscoke" and the spelling of his mother and father's names on their headstones: "Chaffin Glasscock" and "Lucinda Glasscock".

"Affray in Kentucky - The Lebanon Central Kentuckian gives the following unique description of a recent 'domestic alienation" in that place: On Friday last, at the sale of the property of Mrs Fanny Nash, deceased, a difficulty occurred between Chafin Glasscock and Thomas Owens, brothers in law, and sons inlaw of Mrs. Nash. It seems that the difficulty between Owens and Glascock had subsided, Glasscock leaving Owens when Edward Glascock, son of Chafin Glasscock, drew a pistol and shot Owens in the side. Owens immediately wheeled and shot young Glascock in the back. During this melee, old man Glascock returned and cut Owens in the neck a frightful gash. Owens having fallen from the effects of the shot and cut, young Carlin struck him on the head with a potrack. Owens died during the night. It is thought Glascock will recover, though he is in a very critical conditions."
Note the spelling change of the last name on the headstone of "Elijah Glasscoke" and the spelling of his mother and father's names on their headstones: "Chaffin Glasscock" and "Lucinda Glasscock".
