This week we will look at the youngest child of Frank and Anne (Gholson)Glasgow of Richmond, Virginia. Frank, if you remember, was the nephew of Nancy Campbell of Adams County. Frank and Anne’s daughter, Rebe Glasgow was born in January 1877 in Richmond. Rebe married on December 5, 1906 in Richmond to Carrington Cabell Tutwiler, son of Eli and Martha (McClelland) Tutwiler. “Cabell” was born November 1874 in Lexington, Virginia. Ellen Glasgow, Rebe’s sister (last week’s article) did not care for Rebe’s husband. (I think Ellen had a thing about men in general.) Cabell attended Washington & Lee University in Lexington graduating with a degree in Chemistry. In 1909, they became the proud parents of a son whom they named after Cabell.
Cabell’s World War I draft card states he was President of the Coopers Creek Chemical Company. Today it is known as Coopers Chemical Corporation. They were living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Later, he is listed as a manufacturer of Coal, Tar and Chemicals. Their home was listed as being worth $90,000.
Cabell died on March 3, 1956, age of 81, from a cerebral hemorrhage. Rebe died on October 6, 1967 at age 90 of pulmonary infarction. Cabell and Rebe are buried at Stonewall Jackson Memorial Cemetery in Lexington, Virginia.
Next, we will look at the last two children of Robert and Katherine Glasgow of Green Forest Plantation. Robert was the brother of Nancy Campbell of Adams County. Katherine “Kate” Glasgow was born in 1835. She married in 1862 to James H. Paxton, son of Colonel William and Polly (Paxton) Paxton (his cousin). His grandparents were William and Eleanor (Hayes) Paxton. They were innkeepers and William fought in the Revolutionary War. Colonel Paxton served a term in the Senate of Virginia (1852-1860).
James was born in October 1812. He was a graduate of Washington College in the class of 1833. He delighted in the classics and was the foremost Latin scholar in Rockbridge County. At his home, “Mountain View,” he maintained a classical school. James was a professor at Washington and Lee University. James died in November 1902. Kate died in April 1916 of bladder cancer. They are buried in Green Hill Cemetery, Buena Vista, Virginia. They had seven children, five of whom never married. Out of those children, we have a retired teacher, a graduate of West Point who retired as a Colonel, a bank president, an attorney and professor of ancient languages, another attorney and the youngest son stayed home and ran the farm. Out of the two children who did marry, they only had two grandchildren.
The youngest of Robert and Katherine’s children was Mary Jane Glasgow. She was born in 1838 and married in 1865 to John T. Dunlop, son of Colonel Henry and Catherine (Thomas) Dunlop. John was born in 1842 in Maryland. His mother was Miss Catherine Thomas, a sister of Governor Francis Thomas of Maryland. At the outbreak of the Civil War, he entered the Confederate Army and served with gallantry as a member of Co. G, 7th Virginia Calvary. He was severely wounded in an attack on a block-house in Hardy County, West Virginia, on April 27, 1863. He was shot through the right shoulder. He later returned to the army and although disabled, engaged in service as scout and courier. After the war, he served as President of the First National Bank of Lexington and later served as a representative in the House of Delegates. Mary Jane died in August 1890 at age 52. John died at home, “Wheatland,” near Buena Vista in March 1907. They are buried in the Stonewall Jackson Memorial Cemetery, in Lexington. No children were born to this marriage.
