excerpt from Biographical Sketch of Jacob M Huffer [1]
The grandfather of Mrs. Huffer was Wendell Glaze. He was a native of England and while a young man was a soldier in the American Army during the Revolutionary War, as were two of his brothers. He was the father of David Glaze.
Wendall was a guard with the Hampshire County Virginia Militia during the Revolution and guarded Hessian prisoners near Winchester, Virginia. Wendall died 1838. There is no listing of Wendall's burial place except he probably was buried on Martin Lein's farm and a grandson of Martin's plowed over the grave yard in the 1880s. Some tombstones were moved to the Shephardstown Reformed Church cemetery but I have not been able to find them.
