George Warren Glaze

February 7th, 1861 George Warren married Lucinda Jane French the daughter of James M. French and Mary Smith. Both of Lucinda’s parents died prior to 1860 and the guardian for her and her siblings was Allen Manker who was in the 27th Regiment, Texas Cavalry (Whitfield's Legion) ( 1st Texas Legion).

George entered the service when he was 25 years old in 1862. He was sick from various things for a great part of his service time. He also was detailed as a nurse in Little Rock for awhile. Three of his brothers also served John Randolph Glaze, Peyton Henry Glaze and William Lafayette Glaze. William died at Vicksburg from illness. Peyton Henry served in the 1st Regiment, Company D and was part of the remnant that surrendered with General Robert E. Lee at Appomattox April 9, 1865. John Randolph was in the 1st Regiment Company D for one year and then was released later he was with the 5th Louisiana Cavalry for awhile until he received a transfer to the 18th Texas Regiment and was mustered out with George Warren at the end of the war.

George and Lucinda had no children prior to or during the war. They settled first in Cass County after the war until the mid 1870’s moving to Grayson County, Texas. Times were hard for them trying to farm, raise a family, etc. There are personal letters written by George belonging to family members telling of some of the toils they experienced. There are records of 11 children that were born to them with 6 living until adulthood. In the 1880’s George and family moved to Hopkins County, Texas. It is possible this was because of a settlement been made on land that had belonged to Lucinda’s father. In the first pension application 1906 filed by George Warren Glaze which was denied he states the 90 acres of land he is living on really belongs to his wife Lucinda. He later applied in 1909 and received a pension in 1910.

George and Lucinda spent the remainder of their life in Hopkins County. Lucinda died in the Flora Community in 1910 and George died January 8th, 1917. George is buried in the Sulphur Bluff Cemetery, Sulphur Bluff, Hopkins County, Texas there is no record of where Lucinda is buried but most likely she is buried beside George in the family plot in Sulphur Bluff.
