GLASS ancestors migrated from Ross & Cromarty to North Northumberland
« on: Monday 14 April 25 22:24 BST (UK) »
Is there anyone out there with an ancestor named Thomas, Robert, John, or  William Glass who disappears from Ross & Cromarty late 1600s or early 1700s ? I’m looking for someone with such a name who settled in North Northumberland and possibly worked as a shepherd? Family legend says that’s how my Glass line arrived in this region. It is not a Border name and was far more common in the Highlands especially in Perthshire, Aberdeenshire, Inverness-shire but family legend promotes Ross & Cromarty as the original homeland.

Can anyone help me on this longstanding quest, please?
