Notes for Sarah Ann Glass: 1880 Greene Co., TN census shows Sarah to be 75 years old, with occupation mid-wife. Inscription on Sarah's tombstone: "Gone Home"
Her grandson George A. French (1856-1944) reported in a 1941 letter to his nephew Archie French that a genealogist working for him found that Sarah had a brother who was the father of Senator Carter Glass of Virginia. Also, Carter's mother was one of two Lynchburg sisters named Livingston, and the other was the mother of Sir John French, a British general during World War I. The genealogist's papers were lost, and as of this date none of the above has been verified.
Carter's biography on the internet says that Carter married "a schoolteacher from Lynchburg at age 28," so that is perhaps some verification, but the connection is very doubtful.
