Alexnader Glass from Aghalane

[derekjwatson25]

Im trying to find anything on the Glass family from Aghalane Co Tyrone. Sarah Glass was my 4 x grandmother and her father wasnamed as Alexander Glass. Sarah married John Smyth in Glenelly in 1846. Ive heard that the Glass family from there are related to Hugh Glass who was the American Frontiers man ?

"Anything" is rather vague. What do you have so far, where have you already searched and exactly what sort of information are you looking for? No point in us searching and posting for details you already have or aren't interested in.

Put the search term Glass in the proni will calendars and the search term Tyrone
and a few Glass wills come up for Aghalane (Aughalane)

Not sure how you'd link them up with your Glass family?

I see Hugh Glass Fronteirs man was born about 1783 to Scots Irish parents that may have immigrated from Ulster to America (or he himself did), so yes I can see why you think they are related. He is probably related in an indirect way to most of the people with the surname Glass from Ireland and Scotland though?
