John Henry Glasson

  General Notes:

Stephen Crawshaw notes:
My great aunt Katie(who was a sister of my paternal grandmother)was governess to John Henry Glasson when his first wife died.

Katie and John subsequently married and produced a "second family"

It would have been a fairly unimportant link except that my father and his sisters regularly went to spend school holidays with the John Glassons on their farm at Stanfield (near Blayney, NSW). I heard very many Stanfield tales as a kid and was taken to see the place etc. I didn't know Uncle John (he died before my time) but got along quite well with Auntie Katie. Via her father, Aunt Katie could be considered 50% Cornish and so was acceptable in the strong Cornish/Wesleyan Glasson family.

  Noted events in his life were:
