There are several John Glasscocks in the northeastern United States. The John who settles first in Fauquier County, Virginia, then moves to Monongalia County is the parent for for this profile (see note about Lawrence Glassco). Except for details of supplying the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War, the sequence of residences for John & Charles appear to be supported by residence records in (http://genealogytrails.com/wva/monongalia/family_bios.html); search "Glascock" using 'Find'.

Birth

Another researcher concluded that Charles' mother's last name was actually "Taylor". Searching sources supporting this assertion.
Charles' 1775 birth is mentioned in his 1814 marriage to Mary Arnett..[6]
Charles, son of John Glasscock, was born July 20, 1775, and died in February, 1840. In his young manhood he came with his father and uncle to the present territories of the state of West Virginia. Settling on Indian Creek, in Grant district, he was a miller[7]
The Glassco book stated repeatedly that Charles Glasscock was a miller.

Arrival

John Glasscock was a Patriot in the American Revolution. With his brother Hezekiah and his son Charles, John came about 1800 from Fauquier County and settled on Pharaoh's Run, in present-day Marion County, Virginia. Later they settled on Indian Creek, Monongalia County, on the Benjamin J. Miller farm. At this place, John Glasscock, his wife, and one daughter are buried on the Miller Farm. (Note that we are as yet unsure which of John's wives are buried with him).[8]
Charles's father, John GLASSCOCK Jr. was a Revolutionary Patriot. He furnished 206 lbs of common flour in one barrel, was paid 108 pounds and 8 shillings on 25 Oct 1780 (certified by Col. Wm EDMUNDS, page 6 of the Fauquier County Public Service Claims Lists). His brothers George, Thomas and Hezekiah GLASSCOCK also furnished supplies of beef and rye for army use, and are listed in the Claims Records.[9]

Marriage

1814 Charles married Mary "Polly" Arnett (1794–1878) dau of James Andrew & Sarah Elizabeth Leggett of Monongalia County, Virginia..[10]
Charles married Mary Arnett around 1814 in Monongalia County, West Virginia..[11]
He married Mary, daughter of Andrew and Elizabeth (Leggett) Arnett, who was born in 1794, and died in 1878. Her mother, surviving Andrew Arnett, married (second) Richard Price.
