Mary was the widow of another John Glasscock and of Harry Rector [Richter]. Joshua Gore was on the Loudoun Co. tithable list of 1765. That Hannah was probably their oldest child is indicated in a three-lives lease from John Tayloe of Richmond Co., Va. to Joshua, Elizabeth, and Hannah on 10 Aug. 1758 (Loudoun Co.
