One researcher says that the plantation that George Glasscock had was
called Indian Banks, Farnham, Richmond Co., Virginia. It was call
"Indian Banks" because it was part of the land where the
Morraughraownas Indians lived when white men first settled at Jamestown
in 1607. George Glasscock built the mansion home called "Indian
Banks" which was later the home of Mary Ball, mother of George
Washington.
INDIAN BANKS was originally built in 1699 on the site of a
Moraughtacund Indian village visited by Captain John Smith in 1608, but
the name, Indian Banks, was not recorded until 1822 when the property was
sold by Aldea Glascock to Thomas Dobyns. On 7/28/1652 Thomas Glascock
(1640 - 1701) of Essex, England, was granted 600 acres of land on the
north side of Morattico Creek for the transport of his wife, Jane Just
Glascock, and two others. Thomas, who immigrated to Virginia 1643, had
two known sons, Thomas Glascock II and Col. George Glascock (1675 -
1715), who built the original house. Captain William Glascock (1704 -
2/5/1784), son of Thomas II, built the present house in 1728 and lived
there with his wife, Esther Ball Glascock. By 1730 he had established
public warehouses at the landing at Indian Banks. Other members of the
family who owned the tract included Richard Glascock who left the
property to his son, Milton Syms Glascock, after the death of Milton's
mother, Elizabeth, around 1800. Milton Glascock bequeathed it to his
son, Aldea Amazon Glascock, who sold it to Thomas Dobyns in 1822 with
342 acres for $7,500. The house is still privately owned.

THOMAS GLASCOCK (1661-62, Richmond Co. -
1725-26, Fauquier Co.), lived on Farnham Creek about three miles north
of Indian Banks. He was the grandson of Thomas and Jane Just Glascock,
the son of Gregory Glascock (1634-44, England - 1690, VA) and the first
cousin of Col. George Glascock of Indian Banks. Thomas married Sarah
Stone in 1689 and their children were Gregory, John, Elizabeth, Thomas
Jr., Sarah Stone and Peter Glascock. On 11/5/1723, for reasons unknown,
Thomas stabbed to death one William Forrester. After the murder
Glascock and his son Gregory, then 23, left in a small boat, but
Gregory was put ashore about five miles below Morattico Creek and from
there traveled as far as Norfolk before returning home. Upon his return
he was named as an accessory to the murder; however, his testimony and
that of his brothers resulted in his release. Thomas Glascock was never
heard from again. Sarah Glascock remained with her children on Farnham
Creek, but after her husband's indictment his property was confiscated
and Robert "King" Carter took possession of his estate. Carter's 1726
will stated, "if my son John (Carter) comes to enjoy the said
Glascock's lands under a good title that he then further consider the
said Glascock's children in such proportion as he shall think fitt, or
otherwise gratify them according to his discretion." Since both John
and Peter Glascock settled on land owned by John Carter in Prince
William County, it appears that Carter's son honored his father's
request.
