Note on Husband: Francis B GLASCOTT - shared note

In the records, there is a bit which is hard to read which seems to indicate that Francis was baptized Aug 7 1725 at Whitechurch. Another source says that he was baptized on Feb 9 1731 Inherited Pilltown (also spelled Pittown) April 24 1754 - the house and domain of Pilltown and the lands of Whitchurch purchased by his father and settled on Francis when he married. Mr Francis Glascott died in 1798 - one source says Apr 29, one says Dec 29. He seems to have been buried Jan 1 so I think that Dec 29 is correct. He had a most remarkable escape out of the town of New Ross during the rebellion of that year. So remarkable an adventure was it that it is recorded on his tombstone in the following words: " This stone is placed here to perpetuate the memory of Francis Glascott of Pilltown Esq. who departed this life on the 29th day of December 1798. Though 75 years of age and scarcely able to walk he most providentially escaped on foot through the thickest part of the battle of New Ross on the 5th June that same year a day forever to be recorded in this county when through the personal valour and exertion of General Henry Johnson the savage rebels received their first signal overthrow" Some records also indicate that there was a son Thomas and they don't record the daughter Margaret. I also have a note from another source that he had 5 sons and 3 daughters. The fifth son would seem to be Thomas so I have added him here but have no information about him There is also reference to his death date as April 29 1798 but the burial date of Jan 1 seems to validate the Dec death. Information taken from tree prepared by John Henry Glascott (now in the Dublin National Library) by Ann Belanger. Note by C.M.Richards: He was probably the illegitimate son of George Glascott, born before his marriage to Anne Gifford. If he had been the legitimate eldest son he would normally have interited Andertown from his father.

Note on Wife: Sarah STEPHENS - shared note

Daughter of William Stephens of Chilcombe Co. Kilkenny. She brought the Rosburon estate to the family. The lands belonged to William Gifford of Polemaloe and were bequeathed to Francis May 18 1750. Her younger sister Arabella married Francis' 1st cousin William Also referred to as Sarah Stephens of Kilkenny "Clucolor". The marriage date is also referred to as April 24 1754. Information taken from tree prepared by John Henry Glascott now in the Dublin National Library by Ann Belanger. Year of birth is a guesstimate by C.M.Richards 2001. She was the eldest daughter, her sister Arabella was the youngest.
