Glasson family of Camborne

[tonimg]

Hi

Can anyone please help me with the following?

1.  Who were the father and mother of John Glasson born 1685 d 1752?  There seem to be many from which to choose....
  eg was it John 1659-1707 and Katherine?
       was it John 1637-1715 and Katherine?  or John 1637-1715 and Elinor?

2.  Were there two John Glassons who married Elinor Russells?  I have one marriage for 1638 (John 16-6-1665 son of Christopher Glasson and Christian) but then I have children (maybe) to John Glasson and Elinor Russell in the 1680's.

3.  Did John Glasson 1637-1715 in fact marry twice?  Was the first wife Katherine, who was the mother of (maybe) Rebekah 1678 and (definitely) Gertrude 1680, while Elinor was the mother of Robard/Robert 1682, John 1685, Elizabeth 1688, William 1691. Elinor b 1663 seems to have married John about 1682 (?)

4.  Was it Robert son of Robert who married Susanna Mitchell, or was it John son of Robert who married Susanna Mitchell??

Many thanks ...

Hi tonimg and welcome to the Forum.
While you're waiting for the heavy hitters to come online, you might like to have a look at the Glassons section in Surname Interests on the Home Page. In particular there is a thread "the early Camborne Glassons" that discusses some of the people you mention.

Hello Tonimg

Spike is quite right.. the thread that he mentions, "The early Camborne Glassons" seems to show the difficulty of determining the early members of the Glassons in Camborne.

Yes ... that is definitely the impression I'm getting. And there's also a great deal of misinformation out there
