From Shenandoah Valley Pioneers and Their Descendants, by T. K. Cartmell, published in 1908, as taken from Sketches of Virginia, by Dr. William H. Foote, published in 1855:
"Samuel Glass and Mary Gamble his wife, who came in their old age, from Ban Bridge, County Down, Ireland, and were among the early settlers, taking their abode on the Opecquon in 1736. His wife often spoke of 'her two fair brothers that perished in the siege of Derry.' Mr. Glass lived like a patriarch with his descendants. Devout in spirit, and of good report in religion, in the absence of the regular pastor, he visited the sick, to counsel and instruct and pray. His grandchildren used to relate in their old age, by way of contrast, circumstances showing the strict observance by families--Mr. Glass, in the midst of wild lands to be purchased at a low rate, thought sixteen hundred acres enough for himself and children."
